[AggieTJ2007]

Ed, your mig is here at the house. And im pretty much out for the trip. damn roommate's horse ran over me and the pup and broke the bones in his back foot.

Man that sure does suck, i hope he gets well soon

[BroncoJo]

I think me and Tyler are planning on leaving CS at noon or later if anybody wants to follow.

[Reckless]

Damn Rowdy I am sorry to hear about that. Take care of yourself and that pup.

[JB]

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I have the truck packed for the most part other than clothes, computer and myself. Should be in aggieland by about 4:30ish.

[breckboarder55]

Does the A&A allow dogs? Either that or try and squeeze a trip to Houston to drop the dog off.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Yes, there may be a pet deposit though.

[Reckless]

im pretty sure they do

[Sharpe]

Does someone have my winch controller? Cant find it.

[Doug Krebs]

Does someone have my winch controller? Cant find it.

you can borrow mine if you want. It's a little fubared, but better than nothing. It's a 5 pin

[JB]

I have an extra Warn controller you can use while we are there.

[8Runner]

Does the A&A allow dogs? Either that or try and squeeze a trip to Houston to drop the dog off.

Yes, they definitely do.

[davido]

I'm planning on leaving around 3 or 4 tomorrow. I have a lunch appointment so can't leave a whole lot earlier that 3.

I'll have done more maintenance this year than the last 4 combined though.

- Rotated tires.
- Added fuel pickups.
- Charged battery.
- Cut off broken t-case brake bracket.
- Pounded out hood (I guess it came up coming home from AZ, don't remember) :)
- Added two bungy cords to hold the front grill straight

Still no replacement drive shafts. :( Higgs has been notified though so hopefully it's cool.

[davido]

Kolpecki, I'm bringing your strap, gloves, and cooler that you left from the AZ trip.

Busa, I have your bas ass bomber style head wrapper in my glove box from last year.

[Shaggy]

you can say that again... :flipoff2:













...ryan flipped scottis buggy
how did this happen?

[JB]

Great trip. The Bronco is beat up, but worked very well with the assist and tires. I noticed this morning, after I could not get it into a gear, that I crunched the trans pan up pretty bad, and pinched off the exhaust. Hopefully there is no internal damage. The assist worked great, I just need to redo one line and I should then not have any leaks. I bend the inner part of a rim and once we found a 4 way to get the tire off, it was an easy fix.

We had a pretty good turnout despite several people noticably not there. I did not get a head count. I am very amazed that the A&A lets up keep coming back.:D

The Tator Hill Tavern was much better this year too.:gigem:

I drank alot. Its going to take a week to recover.

[JB]

Here are a few to get started. I will upload teh rest later. I have a really good picture of Haley, but that should probably not be posted:flipoff2:

[KrazyKarl02]

Fun Facts:

* 8.5 gallons is not enough gas for the klogger to wheel for 2 days.
* 37" tires + 3.55 axles makes C6 ANGRY!
* Chalk another one up for TTB w/ no breakage!
* The Klogger - It transport people on the road, on the trail, or on the trailer.

[Jackasic]

had a blast and the scout did great. Hope Jones has a vid of me going up that wall. Was running just fine till the track bar and the frame decided the has "irreconcilable differences" and separated.

[CheapJeep]

Awesome trip, had a blast!

I want to thank all of you guys who stopped on the side of the highway to help when I broke down in route to Clayton thursday night.

Travis, thanks again for the rescue and tow home.:gigem:

Dodgula- shattered clutch and throwout bearing

BarnBurner- 2 bent u-joint u-bolts and shattered front output yoke.

[8Runner]

Awesome trip...obviously time for a new clutch in the buggy, but other than that came out unscathed. Even with the "Flip".

Speaking of which, I think someone got the video, I'd like to get a copy of that original. Steven, for your info, Ryan Clarke was driving, I was spotting - last obstacle of the last trail of the trip(Redneck Millionaire), we took a hard line just for the hell of it. I think we made it up further than anyone else did (without a winch), but just couldn't figure out how to get the buggy turned toward the trail exit (probably should have tried a front dig much earlier, in hindsight). Due to some "audience encouragement" we kept trying after we probably should have backed down. Thanks to Busa and Scott's help, we got it righted quickly, and drove it out while Busa's winch continued to hold it upright. It was a bit violent of a flip, so Ryan took quite a jarring and was a little sore, but he was expecting to roll and came out of it smiling. Other than a smallish dent/bend in the roof cage and accelerating an already noticeably worn clutch's demise, it didn't do anything to the buggy. I hope it was entertaining to all :D

[8Runner]

p.s. Thanks for trailering, for organizing the WTWE and for buying all that spaghetti we never got a chance to eat, Ed! Thanks for the great fajita's, Chris!

How is the club handling $$$ for both those guys?

[Busa]

I have the video of it Chris. I just have to learn how to put it on the computer and be able to send it.

[bburris]

We saw Kopecki, then John Brown, then Scott and someone else on our way back to Dallas yesterday afternoon. Tried to call Scott to tell him something was falling off the back of the trailer but I guess he's too cool to answer his phone.

[eight]

I think the waterpump on the ford quit on the way back. Overheats at idle very quickly. Don't think it's the fan clutch. Luckily it still has almost 400 miles and 1 month of warranty left. Fixed the dodge last night.

Tommy and I got the backyard arranged nicely. 2 boats, 2 trailers, and 2 jeeps back there and still easy to get everything in and out.

[uglyota]

I don't know where the fawk I got 10 hours from...google maps says 13.5 hrs, took me 14 each way. Lot of driving for one day of wheeling, but what a great place! Great to see and wheel with you guys again!

And I think most of us learned that it probably wouldn't hurt to carry at least a few tools...like a lug wrench, at least? :D

can't believe you fawkers partied until 6am Saturday night

[FJAggie07]

And I think most of us learned that it probably wouldn't hurt to carry at least a few tools...like a lug wrench, at least? :D


We all looked at each other, "You got Tools?" "Hell no someone else always brings tools...""Wait where did Ed go?!? ****." :laughing:

[uglyota]

How is the club handling $$$ for both those guys?

oh yeah let me know what I need to throw in for either of these, I said I would help pitch in.

[colman]

red cj- radiator made whoopie with fan(not the other way around), rear u-joint and yoke, body damage on both rear corners, kissed the pass cowl when it rolled, bent both sliders, bent shackle reversal cross bar, power steering pump squeals like a pig, debeaded tire and reset with a road flare, and i spilt some beer on my gloves.

corey's cj- pretzeled front driveshaft, broke u-joint and yoke on rear axle, winch died, leaky bead had to be reset, motor smokes, gay driver

[jerryg79]

Good times.

Great to see the hippie. The brunes were missed, rumors even started that they were actually coming with brandini.

Tator hill was awesome per usual.

Lots of good stories.

Colman next time you change a radiator on the trail, maybe dont leave 2 gallons of antifreeze on the rocks.

[JB]

Drinking Keystone bottles at Tator Hill was fun. I vaguely remember talking **** to some OU fans, and also hearing about some mysterious roadblock waiting for us just short of town.

[J Cooper]

good times, some how it actually does get better every year.

... i am still tired and i went to bed at 8:30

will post up my brothers pics later

Did you get any new graphics on your jeep? Perhaps a proclamation on your windshield?

[colman]

i did notice the matching dicks on the hood and the nicely formed dreidel in the center. nicely played. didnt notice anything on the windshield.
as far as the coolant goes, sorry, most of that was out when the radiator hit the fan. the hippy inside me cried a little

[4-Banger]

Got to drive the uglyota a little on Green Mamba, that was fun.

I passed Courtney on the way back. She sure does drive slow :D

[Eckert]

i started off the weekend horrible but it turned into an awesome trip.

the Klogger limo service was awesome, even if it did cost me a swift kick in the nuts.

I am extremely impressed with Colmans CJ. even iff he did roll it on the last obstacle of the trip.

I think we set a record for quickest back to camp, build a driveshaft from scrap, and continue wheeling for the rest of the weekend.

tater hill had the best bad ever, JB's conversation with the locals on the road block and '**** the longhorns', sharpe eating pickled eggs, and dancy goofy crying slow guy proved to be worthwhile entertainment. tommy and karl also received some great tater hill memorabilia.

whats the issue with tate? i heard the axle tried to remove itself going down the highway, but really couldnt figure out what went down after that.

trip was fun as hell as usual

cherokee did great

broke a spider on friday and thanks to creighton for welding it all back up again, broke a rear axle shaft on saturday, both on the same side, added some more body damage

who needs to drive more than 1 vehicle to take 12 people home from the bar :flipoff2:

[85cj7]

Damage-
-shift forks on transmission misaligned. can't shift, stuck in 2nd
-rear axle leaks like a bitch from were shafts meet hubs, needs new correct bolts, lock tight and proper gaskets
-overheated the **** out of the engine, fried the coolant sensor sending unit, now tells me the engine in 300F all the time
-keep blowing fuses for electric fan, need to rewire

Needed improvements-
-bigger tires
-HYDRO-ASSIST
-chromo front shaft

[Seth]

I just decided. I have been looking into going back and finishing school. If and when I do, I hereby vow not to graduate in December, so I may never miss The Clayton trip again. Bummed I missed, sounds like you guys drank my share too. :cheers:

[BroncoJo]

Great trip, lots of fun as always.

Robbie- Picking you up and dragging you back was no problem at all.

Looks like I was the club retard this year and I sincerely apologize to everyone. There is no excuse for my actions, it won't happen again. Tyler is a good friend of mine and even though he would have been justified in completely beating my ass, he didn't which I respect that. Also I've noticed how I've been drinking a lot this last semester and while its led to some great memories it's also led to some really bad decisions; therefore, I'm putting an end to that and re-focusing on my life goals. Hope y'all don't mind if I continue to stick around.

My carnage:
Busted ****ing head
lost pride

I don't mean to mess-up this thread, so let's not discuss this here, and for your time I give you this:

[davido]

Cruiser did well. A few dents, but nothing is broke that didn't show up that way... oh wait, except the end of my winchline. It broke as I was hauling myself over the last ledge of KT's Climb.

I need to wheel more often. I forget how fun it is. We covered a lot of ground on Saturday, up BlackSheep, CakeWalk, and most of Redneck Millionaire. Still wanted to run Black Mamba Extension but ran out of time.



Jones has a vid of me going up that wall.
Looks good. http://picasaweb.google.com/JJonesee/Clayton09?authkey=Gv1sRgCNaOquPE79287AE&feat=directlink#5417554831915852482



...thank all of you guys who stopped on the side of the highway to help when I broke down in route to Clayton thursday night...
I honked as I drove by, does that count? :flipoff2:




...we took a hard line just for the hell of it. I think we made it up further than anyone else did (without a winch), but just couldn't figure out how to get the buggy turned toward the trail exit ...
Kind of, but mostly because nobody went that way. No winches were pulled until flipping Ryan back over. Busa and Scott went the easier left. I took the center, up against the tree. Ryan took more of a "non line" than a hard line (far right). Without going backwards, that rig came off that rock about the only possible way it could have from that point. :gigem: The line that he came off on was the best look he had the whole time up there. I was surprised it went over that hard. Glad he was OK and the rig had almost no damage. I'm not sure if that's from thick tubing or a light rig, but it faired very well.



Good times indeed. Missed some of you regulars. The funniest thing of the whole trip was Cody and Rodney taking turns rolling on the AC unit, jaming out to Bad Romance. Still makes me laugh.

[bcolman]

i broke three rear ujoints, and debeaded my front passenger tire three times, i guess i need to figure out what wrong with my staun in that tire and convert to a cv drive shaft

[Shaggy]

broke welded rear spiders sat... we rewelded them and got to wheel sunday.. smashed the oil pan again so it leaks bad, smashed pass fender, broke longside front shaft. cut a large chunk out of fake lock on one rim, 2 centercaps, and on the tow home both upper control arms ripped in half taking us from 75 to 0 in a few hundred yards... that broke front driveshaft ujoint, tire wear and bent tierod some... good times were had... thanks to ed and creighton for the rescue on the way home

[Shaggy]

someone borrowed my 4 way and i didnt get it back... anyone?

[Shaggy]

front yoak is fubared also... i think jeep wants the 60

[KrazyKarl02]

Holy **** balls, how do you tear a control arm?

[CheapJeep]

Figured out why my hydro assist was being a biatch towards the end of saturday which led to complete loss of power steering on the way back to the motel... One of my hydro ram lines rubbed on the crankshaft pulley under suspension flex causing a nice leak.

[Shaggy]

Holy **** balls, how do you tear a control arm?

dont know exactly... must have bent or cracked on trail and then gave out going 75mph down the road... made for some quick stopping though

[FJAggie07]

someone borrowed my 4 way and i didnt get it back... anyone?

That would still be in the back of Ed's Beast, I think. It was used for John Brown's wheel. I am sorry that didn't make it back to you, I thought it had. If someone has Ed's number would they please give him a shout? He may still be in CS and could leave it with someone?

Is your head ok after that? You looked like you were hurtin' bad.

[colman]

that was plural, control arms

also chris i called you but you didnt' answer, we have your cutting board in dallas and are going to leave it at my brothers house which is in lake highlands and you can pick it up whenever. also we have someones propane tank and i think its yours if it is you need to call us tonight or early tomorrow to tell us to leave that as well. were leaving town around 8 832 489 5974. call us as late as you r up

[FJAggie07]

Just got your message. Take it with u or chunk it, it was a $5 cheapie. Thanks for grabbing it.

[4-Banger]

Go figure, I take like 70 pictures of the trip, go home for the holidays, take my computer with me, and forget my camera back in College Station. I guess I'll be posting my pictures in January, then.

[breckboarder55]

I passed Courtney on the way back. She sure does drive slow :D

She was having some pretty nasty driveline vibes at speed.


Great trip, lots of fun as always.

Looks like I was the club retard this year and I sincerely apologize to everyone.

Its ok, I was last year... Guess that means that you don't want me to post the video so we can all re-live the moment? :flipoff2:

Yeah... The TJ fenders don't hold up so well, but they don't look that bad... Check out mine, or even better Creighton's.


Holy **** balls, how do you tear a control arm?

They are just stamped sheet medal, surprisingly common.

[CheapJeep]

those last three pics are where i tore out my mount at.
It's ironic that my jeep made it up that just fine but the exit trail to the right that you took is where I sheared my front output yoke... That **** was slippery and I had to lay in to the foot print pedal.

Nope, not mine.

I was wondering where I mashed that fender in. :laughing:

[bburris]

That's beyond mashing, Ed. I'm pretty sure that rock raped your truck's bed...

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Oh no, I guarantee that the rock was the one that got it put to it. ;)

(time for a flatbed :D )

[bburris]

I think the stepside bed adds character to your truck... You know, because the pinched front end, chain steps, four-color paint scheme, etc. don't do enough for me.

The beast is awesome. :D

Guys- Obviously I needed to get some **** together this year, priorities are a bitch. I vow to never let you down again, I apologize.

Andy- Seriously?! Who sells a truck with a grenaded front end and no TITS system? :flipoff2:

Ed- Thanks for continuing the WTWE tradition, I was sad I wasn't there to bestow my 11 pack of Stag and the Kum & Go Koozi I had procured.

TITS system? I feel bad about the Detroit, I had no idea. I knew the passenger stub was blown, but I never thought it would've taken out the Detroit.

[FJAggie07]

Tire Inflation Tool System.

[Jackasic]

Interestingly the stub was fine, it was the inner shaft that broke. As soon as I can get some spare parts for the detroit, it will be up for sale.

For those that remember (and care) the dachshund that Sofia had found up the mountain one week ago in Ok. has made huge strides towards becoming healthy. Took him to the vet last Mon. and the poor little guy was messed up. Obvious ticks and fleas, ear mites, hookworms, and advanced lime disease, dehydration and malnutrition (weighed 9lbs, normal would be 13-15lb). After a week of medication and good food/rest he's beginning to act like a normal dog again.

At the time I wasn't sure if taking him back with us was the right thing to do or not. After talking to the vet I now know there was no other alternative. Lime disease in its advanced stage is never entirely curable but will go into remission, spurring up from time to time throughout his life.

Almost lost him on Tues. of last week. An effect of lime disease is uncontrollable bleeding from mucous membranes (eyes, nose, ears, ex.). He started bleeding and had a hard time stopping. Spent some time at the vet again and like I said, one week later, is beginning to wag his tail and bounce around a little.

Thanks to everyone who supported this decision. Unfortunately, going to be a while until he's a normal pup again.

[uglyota]

Congrats for saving a pup. Can lyme disease be transmitted by fleas? I'd have a hard time keeping a lyme carrier in my house

[85cj7]

from my understanding, ticks, deer ticks specifically transmit the disease.

[breckboarder55]

Im not surprised at all considering the amount of ticks we pulled off of him.

[KrazyKarl02]

Did the vet recommend you continue feeding him cheetos?

[jerryg79]

Did the vet recommend you continue feeding him cheetos?

:gigem:

no microchip on him?

[85cj7]

:gigem:

no microchip on him?

nope

Named him Max, after the dog from "How the Grinch stole Christmas", we tried to find an antler hat to show the resemblance but couldn’t find one.

[uglyota]

from my understanding, ticks, deer ticks specifically transmit the disease.

well yes, but it's blood-borne and I presume it could be transmitted by other critters if the critter were to bite your dog and then you within a short enough time frame. Lyme disease is no fawkin joke.

[Eckert]

so you save the wiener dog and not the two pits?

racist.

[JB]

Go figure, I take like 70 pictures of the trip, go home for the holidays, take my computer with me, and forget my camera back in College Station. I guess I'll be posting my pictures in January, then.

Post them.

[4-Banger]

Post them.

Soon. They're still on my camera, and I'm reformatting my computer this week (XP -> Win7 :D), so I'll get them up after I sort my OS out.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

The update to 7 from vista took ~2.5 hours last night. Hurry the hell up! :flipoff2:
