I PMd DeathValleyPaul about Bullfrog, but I don't know if he'll get the message before GoatFest, or if he's even going... He hasn't been on 
in a couple weeks.

Stand in the front yard and yell... =)
He did a great job leading SoCalXJ last spring. I have no idea if he's willing/interested in repeating it, but maybe he has GPS tracks, too?

You sure? I'm counting on you.
leading 3 vs leading 20 isnt very different. I can put a good tailgunner in the group with you..
If there is nobody else that wants to do it. I will and I think I've got my new GPS figured out where I should be able to find the whole trail but no garuntee's on that since I haven't run the whole thing yet.

So far no one else wants to do it.
Count on it, and I'll try to find someone more familiar with it on the lakebed Friday night/ Saturday morning.

Okay, but if I get lost out there and lead everyone off a cliff like a bunch of lemmings on the discovery channel I don't want hear any bitching about scratched paint and missing kids. :anon:

Sweet! ill bring my HOnda!
Hey, im curious... i didnt read ( or maybe i overlooked it ) what time are we heading out for these trails?
Aslo, I am wondering what trails i should run with my set up
Dana 30 up front ( stupid vac disco) with tiny Ujoints
Dana 44 in the rear
Both locked with 4.88's
Rocksliders
33" tires
beefed up tierod ( thanks Jeeperjohn) but other than that stock steering
6" lift
Tow points front and rear.
Not the best built rig but i wanna do something more fun that what i have done in the past ( BB John Bull )
And body damage doesnt bother me.

I would say except for the u-joints your setup pretty good for the moderate runs, got any spare axle shafts? I keep a full set of spare stock shafts in my jeep but they won't work for the disco.

Julio I think you could run clawhammer if you get spare shafts and u joints, but make sure with cal and matty before

I vote for 10:30.
Also if you haven't removed your unit bearings in the last year you should pull them one night. That way if you kill an axle shaft on the trail you won't have rusted on unit bearing drama.
Do your spares have unit bearings attached? If not make sure to bring a big breaker bar, 36mm socket, and some cotter pins!

I think this is how the u-joints break down
84 to 99 non abs smaller axle u-joint is spicer 260X series
92 to 01 with abs larger axle u-joint is spicer 297/760X series
Drive shafts are 1310X series
There is a good write-up in the FAQ's section of the website

Close.
'84 - '95-ish is 260x
'95-ish - '01 is 297x (The year break was vague, just like all other things Jeep!)
'89 - '01 with ABS were 297x. (The year ABS was released, if it has ABS it has big joints)
