[Sparling]

We could head out together but I don't know if that Ford of yours will be able to keep up :flipoff2:

Isn't your truck like ****ting itself from daily driving? :flipoff2:

[Sparling]

I mean you aren't wheeling but your suburban did out-flex tommy's bronco... :flipoff2:

Well, I hope to have a new tranny in my truck by then. So hopefully I will be wheeling.

[FJAggie07]

What does a transvestite have to do with wheeling? :confused:

Yeah I had to help you last year:flipoff2:

[Shaggy]

A handle of captain and a case of budlight + me = no more night wheeling at the original katemcy.

[Hellbent]

We could head out together but I don't know if that Ford of yours will be able to keep up :flipoff2:

:flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2::flipoff2: :flipoff2:

[Seth]

I think Id be more impressed if you finished a 30 pack of beer.

[JB]

TTT. I preregistered today.

[Shaggy]

I should know by next week if I can get off for this. If so it will be the jeeps first run.

[stx4wheeler]

Anyone from h-town have an extra trailer spot, or a truck to pull a trailer?

[JB]

So far we have 7 people going? That sucks.

Scott? Kopekci? BDR? Busa? Frick? Flem? Cook? Clarke? Ed? Colmans?

[TMatheaus]

if i can get a transmission for the jeep and get it together by then, i will be taking the jeep, if not i will prolly just ride along

[stx4wheeler]

So far we have 7 people going? That sucks.

Scott? Kopekci? BDR? Busa? Frick? Flem? Cook? Clarke? Ed? Colmans?

I'm burning the midnight oil to make it happen.

[BroncoJo]

Scott? Kopekci? BDR? Busa? Frick? Flem? Cook? Clarke? Ed? Colmans?

There is definitely some interest outside of the club, and I think more new guys that havent posted yet

[BroncoJo]

The deadline for Pre-register is March 11, preregistering is the only way to ensure you get a shirt and meal.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I won't know till I get kicked off on this new job. Too many variables right now. Looks like I will be in the Tyler area to start anyways.

[Hellbent]

I am defiantly going

[MR.ZAP]

I am defiantly going

Defiantly??? :haha:

[BroncoJo]

Bump deadline for preregistration is this Friday

edit- Tommy did you find a trailer?

[Kyle.]

not sure if im gonna make it to this or not. Are yall staying over night? I just come up for a day and leave that night.

[Sparling]

All weekend. You can make a day trip if you want though.

[Sharpe]

That's way too far to drive for a day trip. We camp for two nights. If you don't camp, you will forever be labeled a ***** 2%er

[Deluxe]

Man I really want to take my rig out there, I just don't know if i can afford the gas/food on top of the 80 at the moment.

Can't decide to ride a long or fork up the money

[JB]

Last year, like 5 of you 2%'ers were hanging all over the Bronco to head back out and wheel Sunday. Bring your own rig.

[BroncoJo]

Man I really want to take my rig out there, I just don't know if i can afford the gas/food on top of the 80 at the moment.

You know whats gayer than a 4-door jeep? Someone that bitches about fuel prices... :flipoff2:

Find some passengers and split the fuel bill

[Deluxe]

Well that's encouraging haha

[Seth]

splitting the fuel would be a great idea

[CheapJeep]

Haven't posted in awhile, been busy with the new job I started back in January.

I plan on making this, leaving H-town friday afternoon...

[Shaggy]

I am still trying to get off work. As of now I am not. Damnit.

[RCcola55]

[sam_hodnett]

If you do go, can I call dibs on your trail seat?

[85cj7]

In case you hadn't figured it out. I will not be back Stateside in time for this. Have fun guys!

[TdmayfieldIV]

Leaving as soon as travis is ready on friday. I still need a trailer. I could drive if I can't get a trailer, but i'll wheel it harder if I have do.

[RCcola55]

Cook, Weston and I should be there sunday morning or sat night, depending on what state of mind we are in after the rod run at Lone Star Roundup.

[Seth]

cook, i need to discuss this rod run with you....

[Seth]

by cook i mean clark and by discuss i mean invite myself.

[AggieTJ2007]

by cook i mean clark and by discuss i mean invite myself.

I was thinking this myself.

[colman]

I'm probably not gonna make it, I start the new job on monday and it will keep me very buisy getting up to speed

[BroncoJo]

Bump! New guys get y'alls **** together this should be a good time

[BroncoJo]

Pre-registration is over but that doesn't mean you can't come if you didn't pay. If you didn't pre-register all you have to do is show up, pay the K2 gate fee and then, while supplies last, you can buy the shirt, BBQ dinner or raffle tickets and an additional cost.

Check out our new sponsor, Bushwacker, over in the TCC info thread: http://www.tamor.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11909

[JB]

Bump

Ed, you going to make this? I need someone that can keep up with me:D

[eight]

I may end up out there. Plowed a couple acres of golfer mounds with the jeep today and it didn't break, turns out it is good for something.

[JB]

bump

[JB]

significant lack of travel discussion for this major run less than 2 weeks ago.

[BroncoJo]

I need to update the top post, Tommy is having Got Milk pull him up there. Not sure what I'm doing.

[MR.ZAP]

Sparling, what time will you be leaving?

[Sparling]

Sparling, what time will you be leaving?

Not sure, hopefully sometime friday morning.

[MR.ZAP]

Okay, I have physics but it's over at 11:10, and I can always skip if necessary. I was just trying to see what time you had in mind. I was planning on going to class and then leaving immediately after grabbing some lunch

[Hellbent]

I have class Friday at 11:20- 12:30 and might either leave right after that or just skip and leave earlier in the day with anyone that wants to head down together.

[Shaggy]

Elise, Mason & I will be there. The jeep isn't likely but I am gonna try like he'll to get it ready. I have Thursday through Sunday off so I have 2 whole days to get stuff done on it which gives me a slight chance. I wouldn't bet on seeing it there though.

[KrazyKarl02]

One last push this weekend, but I doubt it :mad:

[JB]

lame

[texasxj]

Will be arriving later friday evening.

[JB]

Leaving Friday probably early afternoon.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I think I will be able to tow two rigs if needed. Can leave Friday ~6pm (if you come get my truck and trailer and load it up while I am working). Can tow just one if you have a bumper pull to put it on.

[AggieTJ2007]

hopefully Me, Flem and Sharpe should leave out of dallas around 6 pm

[Shaggy]

Leaving San antonio 8ish Friday hopefully with jeep in tow.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Ed. Call me

[Shaggy]

Has anyone talked to Scott and Lynda to see if they are coming. Last weekend Lynda told Elise that they were but I hadn't heard them chine in yet.

How many people pre registered?

[TdmayfieldIV]

you don't want to know

[Shaggy]

Better odds in the raffel.

[crdub09]

I haven't preregistered or anything, which isn't a problem I understand, but if I go, ill need a tow from CS on friday. You supply the bumper hitch, I supply the trailer and some gas money.

[cj nut]

JB talked me into it..... I'm leaving either Friday evening or early Saturday morning.

[redcagepatrol]

[Fredo]

I got a text from my buddy Casey saying he was heading down there this weekend and would like to join in on the festivities. I told him to find you guys. He kind of looks like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber and laughs a lot. He has what is left of a Silver 04 TJ. Fun guy to hang out with. Show him a good time.

Also, he wants to compete , but has no club affiliation. I told him to just tell you guys he knows me. He can be my representation in the club for the weekend.

thats awesome, Ive met Casey before his TJ is pretty bad ass

[JB]

We need to find out if we can wheel Friday or not. IF so, I will head down early.

[cj nut]

Having another day to wheel would be awesome, but it also means my jeep will probably not be living by the end of the weekend.....

With all the trailer spots being offered, pretty much. But I'm not sure if I am going right now because I need to be working on PIKE's Pit on friday and saturday. Plus it's pretty expensive...

[DRAGOONRANCH]

[JB]

[cj nut]

My buddy has a Dc. app. at 2 he should be at my house at 3 and we are heading out as soon as he gets here. Should put us at krock around 7... hopefully in time to get a few hours of wheeling in. Is anyone bringing firewood?

[AggieTJ2007]

I don't think that you can night wheel at Krock, thanks to a certain TAMOR member

[JB]

sam says no friday wheeling. lame

[sam_hodnett]

Just got the Email from Randy. No friday wheeling for anyone, and Corey, there is never nightwheeling

[Shaggy]

Damn the man that ruined night wheeling

[cj nut]

[sam_hodnett]

[BroncoJo]

[Sparling]

Brisket and beer? **** yeah

T-ball? How'd you do? Make the team? :flipoff2:

[Sparling]

I dunno if he made the team but it sounds like the stealership might become a rapership

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Good weekend.

Sparling, tell the waitress to hurry up with the grub....

[JB]

Long, hot weekend.

Wheelers in attendance:
Bronco
Cory's YJ
Robbie"s CJ
Evan's CJ
Lynda's CJ
Kunta Kinte
Garrett's YJ
Courtney's Bronco
Zach's JK
Tommy's Bronco
Tate's loaner JK
Clayton's Waggy

There were probably 15 other rigs out there, mostly big tired buggies.

Temperature was hot. Shirtless might have been a bad idea.

My reworking of my gas filler was causing alot of pressure to build up in the tank, which eventually killed the in tank pump. A quick trip to Brady for a new vented cap and a new pump and I was back on the trail. Broke the syn line stupidly wrapping it around a boulder. Also rolled slightly on the pass side on the Saturday evening cruise to the swimming hole. It is alot more beat up than when we arrived, but was still able to muster an impressive "competition" time:gigem:

Robbie had a very slow up and over roll, which Sparling got on video.

Great weekend overall. Very tired

[cj nut]

awesome trip, picture to fallow soon........ btw Robbie flipped. JB's bronco didn't break anything (of course), my radiator came loose on my jeep (easy fix). Overall it was a awesome weekend, lots of wheeling. Wish more people would have stayed for the tcc part, everyone left out and did no recruiting.... leaving Jb, Robbie,Even,Tommy and myself to make our own competition and time it... JB won, and Tommy had catastrophic failure.

[Sparling]

I wouldn't call it catastrophic failure, he just broke his mini spool like everybody said he would. At least it lasted until he gave it the gusto in the comp. JB tore the comp course up and made it his bitch. I'll upload the videos I took and post links.

Times for the comp course were:
JB: 2:15
Evan: ~2:50
Cory: 19:15
Tommy: DNF (mini spool disengage)
Robbie: DNF (gave up)

[JB]

I would say the most impressive carnage was Evan's winch. Anyone have a pic of that?

[robertf03]

had an alpine window pop out when a tree attacked the disco, and the steering shaft splines are gone.

anyone have a pic of mine stuck on that hill it shouldn't have been on?

[JB]

I have no pics. But if anyone hears from a company called Rock Rash something or other, they were video-ing us all day Satuday and probably have some great footage of me and Evan.

[Hellbent]

This one?

[JB]

thats robbie

flem = robert = land rover

[CheapJeep]

Robbie: DNF (gave up)

Going after JB, Corey, and Evan dug out the spot at the top sucked.....I made it through twice on saturday, just wasn't going to happen today.

[TdmayfieldIV]

This weekend was awesome, probably my favorite weekend of wheeling since I got my bronco.

The mini spool really made a difference, and it held up to me wheeling saturday and sunday being easy on it (for the most part) and finally gave on the comp course.

Wheeling with a locker is awesome and I don't know why i havent done it before now. On the street it's really not that different. It was alot easier to take it easy on the drivetrain, I could ease up onto rocks rather than spinning the tires around trying to get in between rocks.

My tie rod got bent on saturday, easy fix with a few hits on a log, held up for the comp course....

Comp Course:
I knew I was probably going to break the mini spool, but I decided to go balls to the wall anyway. When corey came in at 20 minutes I decided to put my winch line in the passenger seat and pull cable as soon as I hit the part everyone spent alot of time on.

I gave her hell and made it up about 100 yards will close to full throttle when my spool gave, I think I could have made it in about 30 minutes if I took my time but I tried to be redass. When I figured the spool was broken, some wires for the engine started to smoke so I shut her down. I think a wire was bare in a spot and grounded itself at an angle. I got winched down and pulled back to camp by jb. Winched on and off the trailer and when I got back to travis' house, it started right up and didn't start a fire. I need to find that bare wire and loom some more.

I got alot of body damage but I had a ton of fun.

I guess now is the time for the 70u swap.

Oh, and Travis, I hope you sunk your canoe.

So I'm rolling down I-10 just outside flatonia when this truck starts to pass me. Thing is freaking loud and I'm like "look Christy another one of those diesel retards who...oh wait that's Robbie!":laughing:

:D


I have no pics. But if anyone hears from a company called Rock Rash something or other, they were video-ing us all day Satuday and probably have some great footage of me and Evan.

I'm uploading the pics I took from the comp right now, some excellent pics of your victorious run...

what was the fuel tank/pump doing after that?

[Sparling]

I think he just lost some engine oil through the breather, but once got him back on 4 wheels and he added some oil, he went wheeling again.

My trip report...

Had an awesome time, great to see everyone as always.

For once I can actually report that I had no breakage. At one point on saturday my fuel pump acted up, turned out to be a kink in the stainless braided line. I only found that out after hauling ass to brownwood for an un-needed replacement...oh well better than parking it and riding with someone else.

Saturday JB, Corey, Clayton, Evan, Flem, and I wheeled until lunch then I ran to pick up said un-needed fuel pump. That afternoon I went back out with Cody (ag with the built maroon tj), a red tj buggy, and an 80's 4runner. I ended up towing the 4runner back after he flopped and couldn't get it restarted. At one point his front bumper became a flying projectile and luckily hit my rear springs.

Sunday JB, Corey, Evan, and myself hit some trails while everyone lingered in camp. After an hour or so we got to where the comp was supposed to be and found no one. Evan decided to try a ridiculous climb and made it, a group arrived and took pics/video in the process... I too decided to try said ridiculousness but in turn received a slightly less rewarding result which entertained the group. Many thanks to Sam, JB, Evan, Sparling, Corey, and Tyler for your recovery efforts...

A couple of fun facts- Sam is actually from Arkansas or a nearby tavern of the Ozarks, his ability to maim small animals by throwing a rock is unparalleled. JB dominated the comp course and remains the reigning champion....winning that much makes him hungry. Going shirtless or sleeveless without sunscreen is not conducive to your comfort for the next week, inquire Sam or JB about how they feel tomorrow.

[CheapJeep]

The group that shot pics/video of Evan and my roll/endo are emailing me them.

link to my pics most are of the comp.

who got the video of me going up that ridiculous part?

[Sparling]

me, i'll put it up tomorrow. I got it from a bad angle so it doesn't really look that hard.

I think he just lost some engine oil through the breather, but once got him back on 4 wheels and he added some oil, he went wheeling again.

Surprisingly when we got it uprighted it started up like nothing happened. No continuous cranking on the starter or smoke show like you would expect to see.

Didn't have any issues with the fuel pump since unkinking the line saturday, no fuel leakage either.

[Shaggy]

Had lots of fun... JK is no longer in "New" condition. It was a bummer though the dealership and I couldn't see eye to eye on the price so it is no longer mine.

[Shaggy]

i chose not to take pics of the JK before it went back but I did wash it inside and out. Rear driver bumper was pretty bad, all 4 wheels were rashed, both slyders, front bumper a little scratched, driver side top pin striping, the underneith was really bad. Oil pan, every skid plate, main crossmember was really bad, and the end of the tail pipe was smushed. Still they didn't sell it to me for cheap.

That's it? They just took it back? haha

So, you took a brand new JK for a weekend test drive and beat it like you just found out supper was going to be late? Awesome:laughing:

[Shaggy]

I took it really easy in my opinion. But you have seen how I drive.

[JB]

So what did they say about the damages?

[stx4wheeler]

So what was the story on the Tate jeep. Did you rent it or what did you tell them you were going to do with it? I have a feeling they didn't just give you the keys, and let you test drive/**** it up then return it with no problems or paying for the damages.

[Seth]

who won the bumper/gift card from the ferd guys?

[BroncoJo]

who won the bumper/gift card from the ferd guys?

The Hefty gift cards (2x$50) arrived at my place sometime today, I'm guessing they will make a nice door prize at the next meeting?




Glad this was a success, I chose to go fishing at the last minute and it looks like I missed out.

[JB]

you did.

im glad your fishing sucked :flipoff2:

RockRash Films

I am going to have him send it to me. I will also get some info on what exactly they do. Maybe we could get them out to Clayton for a trip.

[Sharpe]

Come on Tom Tom, get to it!

Tumtum. His name, is Tumtum

[sasquatch]

damn... looks like it was a good time.

[sam_hodnett]

damn... looks like it was a good time.

It was, you should have come out and tested out that shiny new doubler :gigem:

[MR.ZAP]

Tumtum. His name, is Tumtum

Like The Three Ninjas? :D

[davido]

That's cool JB! Back in the day we use to get together and watch Camel Trophy and Ft. Hood footage... on VHS. :D

I'd be happy to host sometime if we want to do that. Although your place with a campfire would be good times also. That way I don't have to worry about anyone breaking the kids toys around.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Hide the barbie jeep with this group.

[Fredo]

Maybe we could get them out to Clayton for a trip.

That's cool you contacted them and they were so cool about sending stuff to you. As far as having them come document a clayton trip, that would be epic. I would like to suggest we have them blur our faces like an episode of cops though. Just in case. :gigem:

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Hmmm. Would make for good viewing at the Rancho warming... maybe turn it into the end of year bbq???
