The "What I learned at Winterfest" Thread

1. Green will get you scrapes and dents on a stock XJ somehow (don't know where I got them).

2. Napa in Attica sucks, go to Carquest. If you got the phone number to the manager or owner, they will open up for you if they are closed.

3. I need to be 3" and 31" tires and I would be happy.

4. Camping in a tent in winter sucks if you are not used to it.


Sure I will get more.

Adam (TH) and I went into Napa to get another front brake line and they hand us rear brake hard lines. We then went to Car Quest and I not only got a replacement braided front brake line up to 36" for $15/ea. I bought 3, I could use some spares as well as limiting straps. Cell# we were given if they are closed and they will get your part is 765-299-5681 :cheers:

Hotel Attica despite the reports of it being haunted, and having a communial bath room, is a nice place to stay and not expensive around $50/night. I however missed some of the after hours brother hood by not staying at the camp ground.

There are many ways to build a XJ or MJ even making them into a buggy and they all work, some more than others! :worship:

The wienerbox is ugly?(not to me)

It does 73 MPH on flat ground now (yay!)

my junk will survive another year with nearly no maintenance and repair because I'm lazy.

I hate mud

BLoose thinks the v8 makes his Jeep a submarine.

No more Crazy Pigeon for this guy.

You will tweak your back hard lifting a super swamper and wheel into a box truck.

the MWC knows how to run the show. Another great year hanging out with some of my closest imaginary internet friends.
 
Bob F..in Loose has a fan base because his sh*t is custom.
I still have to bring propane tanks for Bob.
A V8 XJ will not float, hood scoops are great for letting the water out of the engine compartment.
Wade wins a lot.
The middle shower in the mens room is still cold.
It is possible for a 2XL man to fit into a size small shirt.
McGyver can out do himself every year.
A man on stilts is funnier than a kid doing jumping jacks.
Great time can't wait until next year.
 
-No jeepspeed for me.

-MT/R Kevlars hook like crazy at 4lbs

-Nick is a badass trail guide

-A WJ pulling a pig of a XJ from MI to IL gets 12 mpg, and from IL to IN 10 mpg.

-Shouldn't of waited so long to go!

I also learned that there are at least 2 cool Xterra owners! :cheers:
 
Truck campers are way better than tents
Sliding tires do not turn like rolling tires
It's not the rig, it's the driver
If you can't do jello shots the right way, you can't please your wife
Kimmer goes farther on AT's and open/open than most of us go on thousands of dollars
Jim (Beergoggles) can wheel anywhere
Rev really loves Gene's welds, but Gene didn't bring a welder :p
Troopers will pull you over just because a truck camper towing a lifted Cherokee isn't something you see everyday

A weigh station rent-a-trooper no less.

In NC, they register trucks based on GVWR. I'm sure he figured he was going to pop me for a fine because I was registered as a light truck and I was rolling about 15,700 lbs down the highway.

He couldn't do anything because I have OH plates and registration.
 
- If your rear hatch isn't opening try driving around in circles
- Wind is worse than rain and snow
- With an A-team stripe on the side of a Jeep its easier to describe which one is yours
- I can drink heavily much earlier when I use 2 fryers to get the turkeys done

And so you are the a team van stripe XJ.
 
1. People are afraid of a "Mason Jar" when you hand it to them at the fire.
2. Macgyver will burn a couch if a drink is spilled on it. " Its state law "
3. Im really glad i got out of bed at 10:30 to go check out the fire. ( First one for me) Never been to a fire that you have to stand 50 Ft away so you dont get burned and that was stiil to close.
4. Never had deep fried turkey until the camp fire, But i will now be buying a turkey fryer for myself.
5. My roof rack is bolted on better than most people think.
6. Whenever I see Molly she has food in her hands that she is trying to give away.

Thanx to everyone who made this weekend possible.

I was wondering who had that jeep!

Thank you very much for the turkey... now I want a turkey fryer.
 
-check, double check, then triple check that you packed your winter coat for Winterfest even if its 60 degrees when you leave home
-I'm not coordinated enough for stilts especially after many many beers
 
  • NAXJA people are some of the finest.
  • The WienerBox in person is awesome
  • I had just as much fun in an open/open low rider station wagon as I have in all my other years.
  • The NAXJA BOD and other volunteers are some hard working mofo's
  • Tech inspection tags go on the upper driver side of the windshield.
  • Pats bus may be one of the best things to ever happen to WF
  • This is the first time I remember going to bed every night and it sure made Sunday nice.
  • CALLING YOUR BOSSES BOSS at 12:30am in your pocket is very uncool. Looks like he either listened for 5 minutes or I left him a voicemail...
