Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
hell yeah it was!
Its not really nice to say that you broke something, then not tell those of us who weren't there what you broke.
Fall crawl is over, your back, it is now safe for you to spill the beans.
the hints are in his post and his signature!
Because in exchange for working on things other than your jeep during the day, they give you green paper that can be traded for jeep parts, pizza, and beer.
Drove the 96 to work. It survived. Therefore I will beat the piss out of it this weekend and hopefully not break anything important.
mission successful
cricket cricket...i cant wait to hear some carnage reports. whether alchohol or rock related
stuff I broke:
Driver rear door no longer pretty (tapped it pretty lightly on a tree while turning due to muddy rocks. 1" more space and I would have missed it)
Rockers clearanced and somewhat reduced in mass
Frame rail(s) somewhat smashed
Muffler smashed but still working
Rear driveshaft polished on a couple rocks
Tranny crossmember mashed a bit
Front skid mashed pretty well, had to bfh it to make my swaybar clear it again
D30 bashed into everything
Tie rod bashed but fine
Rearend bashed into things
Tranny pan bashed in a bit
Front fenders both tooled up a bit
Came down HARD on my front bumper and bent the driver side worse than the passenger side was when I got it
Mashed out my driver corner blinker
Dented both front rims but not badly enough to matter
Oh, and 30sec into the trail my gas tank vent hose split and fell off the tank and gas went everywhere when I was on a sidehill. That's the only one that really pissed me off, trying to fix the stupid thing while holding everyone up.
I saw it was no longer at the fire station so I guess you moved it to someone's house?
yeah moved it to john's place tilll
I have time to fix it. Should be soon, and all parts are in hand now
shiiiit i think i may have to go check this bad boy out, it's only like 10 minutes from me. KEN!

edit: maybe this too, looks like a good deal for a CJ5 although I don't know much about CJs

not a fan of the seats or bumper and you might want to shop around, but I support this idea
Just made it home under my own power. Bounced the 96 off everything Saturday, it was great. I was the only one without a winch and never got stuck. It was me, sheepjeep, a zr2 on 33s and stock suspension (did pretty well!), and a bunch of yjs/tjs/ljs/jks. Everyone else was being very cautious, winching when needed, etc... we represented uj/nac wheeling style pretty well. At one point I accidentally took a bypass, realized after, backed up and went for it, got out to survey the damages and was asked if I had any lockers, then told I had no business being on that section of trail and that they'd get a einch set up. Took a look around and planned, backed up a bit, 3 point turn and 30 seconds later the guy was going "umm well I guess that works too." A few of the rocks in there are why my bumper is now symmetrically bent.
Swamping out the jeep, welding in the rest of the floors, fixing the tank vent and maybe tc shifter... where are we wheeling next weekend?
