Trip to Katemcy

[Busa]

Me and the wife are planing on going to Katemcy Oct 25 and 26. It is the last weekend it is open. I think Lee Novikoff and some of his friends are in. Scott and Lynda my be in. Any one else interested in going make the plans.

[8Runner]

Last weekend it is open? For the season or forever?

[Busa]

for the reason

[73bronco]

I could possibly be in if I can get my computer tuned by then

[8Runner]

for the reason

Cool, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. I would like to come, will look at calendars & let you know.

[BMFScout]

Wow, married people make plans WAY in advance... :flipoff2:

It's not a Pirate game weekend and the Aggies are in Iowa....Definite Maybe.

[Busa]

It's becouse we are married it's becouse Lara only gets one weekend off a month. Have to plan it out. Hopefully i get my jeep back together by then.

[davido]

Sounds fun. I put it in tentatively. We never seem to know for sure until we hit the road with a loaded trailer. :)

[robertf03]

Consider it on the unofficial tentative beta version of the fall trip schedule.

[Shaggy]

hmmm we might be in

[Shaggy]

game is Friday (homecoming) so we can actually go this weekend. Just have to build sliders, front bumper and find a front locker by then.. tate is excited

[Busa]

Cool. Sounds good.

[Shaggy]

Bump... anyone in... This will be a day for the club to remember... a day when Tate actually wheels again with the club. the jeep has been controlled by the woman since she learned how to drive it so I am going have to talk her into driving Her explorer to work a few days so I can get some armor on it. probably no locker by then though

[Busa]

I am ready. I got my steering done and my Stauns in so i cant wait.

This post makes me very happy :gigem:, all the while very sad also :(...

[Shaggy]

busa, is the wife coming too? bringing her jeep if so? Austin plans to come also I believe. Since my jeep is stock and my wife has no off-road experience it will be mostly an off-road 101 weekend for her but I will test it's stock limits a little.

This is great news to me. I'll wheel with yall. Since Scott rolled my Jeep I don't want to risk tearing it up even more than he did before I get to Clayton, so I would like to just cruise around on normal obsicles for this trip. We'll roll together :) (but not in the upside down sense):gigem:

[agjohn02]

story we havent heard?

if my dad ever says anything condescending about me rolling his jeep. im gonna kick him in the balls.

We're still in, should be the first pull with the new Dodge. Just got the gooseneck in today and wired it all up.

Doesn't look like I'll have the Fab Fours bumpers on my then, next weekend is a family reunion and still trying to aquire a toolbox to paint at the same time as the bumpers... Still have to work on both of the toys also...

[redcagepatrol]

So, looks like we are still in depending on how little Jake feels today. He was running a slight temperature and screaming alot yesterday...

That being said - I have a spot on my trailer and a seat in the Dodge. Can't be too much of a hassle for me though, we need to minimize the "stuck in baby seat" time for Jake.

[Busa]

we are about to pull out see y'all there

[davido]

We're out. No time lately to work on the rig. Need to take care of some things in town. Have fun.

[Shaggy]

all loaded up and ready to go... It is Homecoming game at wife's work so we won't leave till late tonight or early tomorrow

[Shaggy]

We decided to flat-tow the jeep because it doesn't have enough room inside for our crap, so I have the welder, torch, ect. aboard also just incase someone needs it. this is probably a good idea because seems like every time I took a rig somewhere without a trailor it came home on one.... see ya when it burns!

[Shaggy]

Had a great time... glad I towed it because I smashed a hole in to oil pan... I am impressed with the KM2's and the front locker... will get picks up later

[AggieTJ2007]

damn you must have hit it hard, ive beat mine up but never put a hole in it

Pictures damn it

[Shaggy]

it isn't too bad, I am just going to drop the pan and weld it up

[Busa]

We had a good time. I will get some picks up as soon as i can.

I did not brake anytime but the wife broke a rear 44 cromo shaft and found out the other one had twisted splines. Also broke a front 44 yukon stub shaft. Have not taken the front apart yet but i think that is what it is.

[Busa]

some picks

[Busa]

a few more

[redcagepatrol]

Lynda's Jeep did good. Just a few more scrapes on the underside - no real damage.

So - we were sitting back at camp drinking some frosty adult beverages when we watch the "big boys" pull back in (47"+, rockwells), one was being pulled back.

Heard him start the engine to pull up onto the trailer, saw the smoke and had to take a look. They mentioned that he rolled it over and hydrolocked it but also mentioned that he got it started and it ran fine for like 20 minutes after the roll. I just like looking thru one side of the blockand seeing light out the other side...

[redcagepatrol]

So I got 8.7 mpg with the new Dodge:confused: - with only one rig on the trailer!

I guess that's the trade off for these new engines and a bigger back seat

[redcagepatrol]

and a few more

On another side note - that sweet Twisted Customes 4-Seater buggy that Nolan owns was out there. Cool to see in person - I know what I want in the future...

ouch!

... i got 11mpg pulling one jeep the last time i went to katemcy.

and gas is $1 cheaper :flipoff2:

[JB]

wow, yeah I get 10-11 towing the Bronco. Break-in period?

great pics.

Probably that and the Texas Hill Country doing 70~75... The overhead was averaging 9.5mpg...

[jerryg79]

Did you have it on the gooseneck?

If so its way taller than the truck unlike on a bumper pull, so that is why coop and JB get good gas mileage?

I bet it opens up after the break-in. Mine was upto about 20-30K before it went from 17 on the hwy to 19 or 20 (sans rigs of course). I get 11-12 with klogger/blazer at 80 with cruise control on the whole way.

I'm sure its taller, but 8.7 still sounds very low.

I had it on my 30' low boy gooseneck. I would've gotten ~9~10 with my old Dodge on 35" tires

[Fredo]

Did you guys wheel with this thing, or just see it in camp? Any details?

[redcagepatrol]

just saw it at camp. I saw it wheeling from a distance. Really sweet rig

[Reckless]

That is one of weston's friends.

[JB]

He was out at 47 for the first run a few months ago.

[redcagepatrol]

Westin was there and introduced himself to me. they were are the completly other side of the campground though (by the pond)

[RCcola55]

Is that Bo's? I can remember is weston said he put a top on it or not.

[Reckless]

Yea, couldnt remember his name to save my life

[Graystroke]

You mean the pond where all the the blown up pieces of mini propane tanks are?:D

[redcagepatrol]

yes, the same one that Doug K. III swam in

[uglyota]

yeah that 800 is pimp

[Shaggy]

i got 9 towing the jeep... better than was expected
