JC and I haven't been since August (I don't count "the creek" even though JD's jeep owned it last time. graemlins/rock.gif )

We're looking at a late Dec or early Jan run (Disney or Cass).
Some of us need some wrenchin' time to finish up projects, but if these times don't work, we'll figure something out.

There are some other jeepers in the area who interested too.
Anyone of you others interested? graemlins/driving.gif

Thanks!

Me!!!

I'm interested. Due to the holidays, it'll probably have to be early January for me though...I'm gonna be out of town some.

Care Put me down for 10:1 odds that Aaron doesn't show up... 4:1 that we don't even make the wheeling trip - period.

Well, hopefully we can all go. If not, JC and I will probably make a run to Disney for a little fun. BUT! That's the backup plan because everyone likes to wheel their Jeep and have fun and all.

Anyone have a preference as to where?

I'm hoping for Disney, but any place is good.

How is everyone's Jeep? Wheel-able?

12-11-2003, 09:05 PM

I thought those were Crimmus trees. graemlins/iono.gif

My jeep is wheelable....for what that's worth. JD could have a broken front locker, a snapped axle, 2WD, and one wheel missing and probably outwheel my stock ZJ, but I'll wheel it like I stole it anyway.

I will be in the Richland Creek Wilderness area the first week in jan. so im out.

supersmitty

12-12-2003, 11:46 AM

I'm down in East Texas about 3-4 hours from L'rock. Is there some good wheelin in south Ar? If so, hook me up. Also, where are these places yall are discussing.

Biv

12-12-2003, 12:01 PM

There is the Superlift OHV in Hot Springs.

Disney is in NE Oklahoma and Cass is half an hour southwest of Fayetteville

Poppabear

12-12-2003, 12:20 PM

I am currently unemployed so I really doubt I will be doing anything Jeep related in the very near future. sad_anim.gif

Biv

12-12-2003, 12:48 PM

omg dude, that suks.

Poppabear

12-12-2003, 01:30 PM

yep... all I have been doing this morning is submitting resumes.

xj4care

12-12-2003, 01:58 PM

Biv, it probably won't be the first week of January at least not for us, we'll be in Dallas.

SuperSmitty, I hear that Mena, AR has some good wheelin' spots. JD would know more about those.
Mena is about 1hr-45min south of Ft. Smith. It may be closer to you. If you're up this way though, be sure to let us know so we can all get together.

Poppabear, that's just wrong. WTF is their deal? Damn, now I don't want to work for them. I'm going to be bustin' my a$$ to find a job between now and Jan 12th. I'll let you know if I see something for a compsys engr if you tell me about any IE positions (quality engr, safety engr, ergonomics, plant mgr). I sent out 40+ resumes a 1.5yrs ago and only got responses from two. With one offer that I couldn't accept graemlins/icon_banghead.gif . So, I'm not looking forward to this.

:eek: Wow, that sucks!

Well, I'm sure we can all scrape together and buy you breakfast, lunch, and a tank of gas to go wheelin. It shouldn't cost anything more than that. graemlins/thumbsup.gif (well $.50 total for tolls if we go to Disney.)

Look on the bright side... more free time... graemlins/iono.gif (like that helps. :rolleyes: )

I'm in for a Jeepin trip, just let me know when. I had to miss out on a trip to Disney last weekend because the Jeep was in the shop. Will have it back tomorrow, hopefully all fixed up.

12-15-2003, 02:54 PM

Soon.
It looks like it will be me, Care, JD, and RazorbeyotchME for now. If you can come, that will be GREAT.

I've got to stick on my shocks, trim a little more, and slap on an SYE. But that shouldn't take too long. Maybe a week or 2.

I'll tell you what I do know:

1. I know how to make a molotov cocktail.

2. I know where you live.

3. I'm a disgruntled man with motivation to blow some **** up.

4. I know that when we were lifting your XJ, I didn't quite get the front driver's spring seated just right, and it will pop out at any moment, causing you to get kilt.

Now tell me when the wheeling trip is, or I will be forced to regulate. icon_smile_big.gif

12-15-2003, 09:21 PM

graemlins/squint.gif Are you sure you're not a postal worker... graemlins/squint.gif

None of us have actually decided when it will be yet. As far as I know.

I'll hopefully have some shocks by this weekend, so I'm good to go G.
I'd like to have my SYE done because I think my shaft is getting a little short... but whatever.

Think we're gonna have to pass until we get our shocks.

Got the BPEs, but no shocks. graemlins/screwy.gif
JC cleaned up his fenders and now we're waiting. Patiently...guess we'll wire up those lights that are collecting dust instead. The TJ needs some attention anyway.
Oh, the SYE is still on order too. Dang holidays.
Santa was very good to JC this year.
See him in my sig. He's friggin' broke.
Sorry kids.

Santa brought some stuff for Biv, Razorback, JD, and Poppabear.
