[sam_hodnett]

por que?

[bcolman]

I will have my ranger and I have a room at the A&A main building

[DangerRanger15]

In with xj (The OD) leaving right after i graduate which is the 18th....

[KrazyKarl02]

If you sir can graduate and ditch your parents fast enough to make Clayton, then bravo to you sir!

[DangerRanger15]

Oh with God as my witness I will be in clayton on the 18th. I have yet to make it out there and i have been in the club for 3 and a half years

[JB]

What do you have to get done before Clayton?

I pulled my Lock Right out today and it needs a new pin kit/d60.:D

Also need to figure out why my t-case keeps popping out of gear, even with my super Jeep-bro Novak shifter. It pops out of 4lo and grinds like a mofo, then will re-enagage by itself or i'll pull the shifter just barely and it will stay in for a little bit longer.

Also need to find a proper trailer. I rented one for Hidden Falls, and it was janky.

[KrazyKarl02]

I need to put rear shocks on.

[sam_hodnett]

I need to get my new tires put on, replace a busted brake line, replace my shifter cable, and replace my inner axle seals.

[AggieTJ2007]

I need to get in the car Saturday morning and show up before you ****ers wake up :flipoff2:

[colman]

Considering going. If I do I will take the cj7 which still needs a bunch of work. The cj5 is in pieces and a long way from being done.

[DangerRanger15]

I need to do a disc brake conversion on the rear of my jeep or just fix the drums because they are leaking. Also, I need to replace all of the bushings inside my rod ends on the 3-link and make sure my heater is working haha.

I am thinking about stocking up on parts that may break on the trail so does anyone have any advise on what parts i should keep in the tool box in my jeep just in case?

[KrazyKarl02]

I am thinking about stocking up on parts that may break on the trail so does anyone have any advise on what parts i should keep in the tool box in my jeep just in case?

U-joints, t-case yoke, axle shafts, spare drive shafts, those are the common pieces that go pop. As for your brakes, I would probably just tear down your drums and replace the brake cylinder in there, odds are that is what is leaking and probably costs ~$20 at O'reilly's. Good afternoon project.

[JB]

. As for your brakes, I would probably just tear down your drums and replace the brake cylinder in there, odds are that is what is leaking and probably costs ~$20 at O'reilly's. Good afternoon project.

This. Cheap and easy

Did you have a spare tire? TSL, despite being "Gods Tire", like to rip open in Clayton.:flipoff2:

You have that winch, but it will suck hanging off the back at Clayton. I would rework either the carrier or the stinger to make it work up front.

Lighting is also a good thing to have for night runs.

[DangerRanger15]

I do not have a spare right now actually I didnt even think about that. And ya i need to do something about that winch. I am also planning on running some rock lights. My brother is an electrical engineer and he said he could wire up whatever I want him to so im putting him on winch, light, and CB duty. I have spare u joints and drive shafts so I guess axle shafts are the next spare i need to get as well as a wheel and tire.

[colman]

some fluids and radiator repair stuff/ all around fixall like jb weld is a good idea

[KrazyKarl02]

IMy brother is an electrical engineer and he said he could wire up whatever I want him to so im putting him on winch, light, and CB duty.

Oh man, look for your next post to be about an electrical fire....

[DangerRanger15]

Hahahah no he knows what he is doing. He has wired all kinds of stuff. From rewiring our entire boat to motorcycles to my old truck to lighting and sound equipment for Kyle Park. Dude knows what he is doing.

[JB]

Wiring up lights does not require an electrical engineer. It requires 5 min on google and an hour in the garage

[DangerRanger15]

Ya I know ha but I dont feel like doing it and he loves doing that crap.

[Busa]

The wife and I are heading up Thursday night.

[Seth]

Jb, i potentially have a trailer you could borrow. Spears has trailer too.

[colman]

been working on it so it looks like im gonna make it. waiting on parts
to do:
swap front axle with red cj
re gear rear axle/ instal locker/ one piece shafts
instal winch
maybe swap transfercases with red cj to get 4 to 1
sawzall rear fender openings and install new metal flares
finish installing front tube fenders
wire speakers
instal new rear bumper
new 1" body mounts

plenty to do.

35;s with no lift...... hopefully this works out


i painted the front bumper today

[KrazyKarl02]

35;s with no lift...... hopefully this works out

:pop:

[colman]

One pic stock fenders. Other is tube fenders. Add a 1" body lift that is integrated into the new body mounts and looks like plenty of room. Not much up travel with stock suspension. I will confirm with forklift.

[KrazyKarl02]

What is the square hole below the driver's door? Is that a Jeep option? auto trash dumpster?

[colman]

speed holes, haven't you heard of them? Actually a po siliconed a patch over the hole then bedlined over it. It fell of so i'm welding it in before I put on the slider on that side. The rest of the rust repairs seen to have been welded. Honestly body would need to be replaced if I were to make a really nice cj so i'm not to worried about it.

[KrazyKarl02]

Where did you get the body armor from?

[colman]

the tube fenders and rear flares are genright 4" flares (from craigslist) and the corners are smittybuilt xrc, much thicker and better than I thought (also craigslist). I was so impressed with the corner guards for the money spent that I ordered the sliders from amazon and they are also smittybuilt xrc so they would line up correctly with the corner guards.

[TdmayfieldIV]

In with the bronco

-Vacuum Lines
-Air Cleaner
-finish up little wiring ****
-filler neck
-change some fluids
-Exhaust
-Throttle pedal

Reinstall
-light bar
-rock lights
-speakers
-Front bumper
-fix winch.


Some other crap.

[KrazyKarl02]

What engine is in it? Old smoky?

[TdmayfieldIV]

Efi 460.

[Sparling]

In and riding with tommy with my bronco on standby just in case his doesn't get finished in time. You know... just in case.

[KrazyKarl02]

Efi 460.

Does it run right now?

[Sparling]

Yeah. It's in and mostly wired and mostly plumbed.

[colman]

i just found a 400 watt inverter in my garage. Do yall think that is enough to run a microwave?

[KrazyKarl02]

i just found a 400 watt inverter in my garage. Do yall think that is enough to run a microwave?

Yeah, bring it, along with the microwave, bring a mini fridge too to keep things like hot pockets cold.

[bcolman]

Does anyone have an extra trailer spot leaving from Houston or have a trailer I can borrow? Turns out now that my brother has a working rig I no longer have a trailer to use.

[KrazyKarl02]

These guys probably have one

:flipoff2:

[stx4wheeler]

Need to build a front driveshaft and was the downsouth mud off and t should be good to go.

[CLNethery]

You can pay online, and the shirts will be shipped to College Station to be brought up to Clayton with me.

[colman]

im not sure if progress. i currently have both axles and the tcase removed from the jeep...... theres still plety of time. its not like busy season at work is about to start or anything...

[CLNethery]

UPDATE; As of right now only 2 shirts have been ordered. If we don't have at least 20 ordered then I will be canceling the order form, as the shirts will just be too expensive to justify getting. They sell by bulk so the more we order the cheaper it is. The order form closes in 8 days (December 1st).

[tommy53002]

I just ordered mine.

Up to 3.

[85cj7]

I added two more.

[aggie4life]

All the old ags need to get together and push the order. Tell people that don't get on the forum that often to get on and order shirts.

[Shaggy]

I ordered 2. I'm not 100% sure I'll make Clayton as of yet. I need to find someone to watch my kids.

[sasquatch]

Maybe if you put a little more effort into designing the shirt, you might get more participation.

[CLNethery]

Sorry you don't appreciate the design, Robert. You can design a better one and post it if you'd like, won't hurt my feelings any. Put up or shut up, as they say. I just thought something would be better than nothing, so I put what little extra time I had into designing (IMO) a simple yet effective shirt. I'm sorry for trying to help. Hope you and your family have a blessed holiday.

That's cute. Pump the brakes.

Not sure what's changed over the years, but old army made decent shirts happen regardless of what time it took. A good TAMOR trip shirt is more than 10 minutes with a out of town 1-2-3 print shop, some clip art, and a jeep google image search.

But like you said, at least you put forth some effort. Not faulting you there.

[CLNethery]

Getting shirts put together was definitely put off too long, and didn't get the attention that it's had in the past. Unfortunately the shops here in town haven't been very cooperative with the club lately and take forever and a day to get things done. It'll be done better next year.

[Patrolin]

:pop:

[JB]

I want to go now!

[BMFScout]

Is there a headcount for this year? I make dinner for Saturday night and how many of you new effers are going to attend. I don't have as much time as the guy that designed the sthuper sweet shirt has, so I won't be able to go back through this thread to add everything up. Thanks for the help.

Something like 4-6 of us are planning on coming up.

[bcolman]

My brother and I will be there, word is my brother has a companion showing up (not sure the gender yet).

[Shaggy]

Tates are out. I wish I could but I can't get anyone to watch the kids. Lame excuse I know.

[jerryg79]

Next year open the tshirt design up early to everyone and usually something will get put together if you follow up with it. We have some smart/talented/creative people on here and Karl too.

That was the Sunday evening kid watching beers talking. Yes, I drink beers when my wife has girls night out and the kids are asleep. Call CPS, see if I care! Stop yelling at me!

God your a dick.

[BMFScout]

I have a small request.

When you get to town, stop by the Dollar General, buy some toys and put them in their toy drive box. I called and verified it goes to local kids, and the last day they collect is the 18th. It's the least we can do.

Forecast looks like highs in the mid 50s, and no rain.

Everyone pulling a trailer needs to read this, if your trailer is over 16' you now have to drive down to the napa and turn there to get to green acres, seems really dumb, but I guess it keeps you away from the school.

Only good thing to come of this is they are officially allowing OHVs to drive on the streets (with a $25 permit).

[KrazyKarl02]

Do you think that includes our rigs or just golf carts and side by sides?

[tommy53002]

Do you think that includes our rigs or just golf carts and side by sides?

I think that covers our rigs too.




Any of you guys leaving Houston have an empty seat for the ride to Clayton?

[Sharpe]

Do you think that includes our rigs or just golf carts and side by sides?

Any rig with functional brakes.

[KrazyKarl02]

Any rig with functional brakes.

That seems awful uppity. I stopped, eventually.

FYI- Lady at A&A just called, moved me to the main side into a Kitchenette and said there were a couple more rooms open including another kitchenette.

I can change a steering knuckle now in no time flat!

Carnage:

Karl in the yj - 2 drivers steering knuckles, I looked at the passenger one this morning, it's starting to crack.
JB - transfer case
Robbie - Track bar
Higg's Legend 2 - some sort of think on the suspension that Slim fixed
Jones in the cj8 - soft top now has an extra window
Fred - front hub

Also other highlights we raised ~ 250 for the CJ fund and we raised I think 375 ish that we donated to a local needy family in Clayton.

[JB]

Jeff-broke leaf spring.
St John - 2 CVs
Evan - 2 CVs
Colman - front axle shaft

[Seth]

Wait, what was st john wheeling? A rzr?

Also, theres something awesome about slim working on higgs rig.

[JB]

He was wheeling his Dad's RZR 800.

[BMFScout]

I had an AWESOME time.

If I met you and we aren't FB friends hit me up on there. (Karl, ask your wife to show you how it works.) I took 100+ pics and a couple of videos. Beware, lots of Scout action...

Best I can tell we donated $362 to local youth, I made the check to the Clayton Fire Department anyway...

[Shaggy]

SHIRTS. Does anyone know what happened to the ones we paid for and didn't receive?

I got my shirts in the mail today. Thanks Collin for sending them.

Best I can tell we donated $362 to local youth, I made the check to the Clayton Fire Department anyway...

Who knew trying to do a nice thing would be such a pain in the ass. Long story, and I don't care to go through it all on a public forum, but this has been resolved finally. The toys for kids who don't read good/fire dept thing didn't work out, and the check was returned to us. I contacted the school Superintendent, he suggested we donate it to the School Athletic Fund. I say it's the best we can do. It was sent to the school PO Box and made out to the "Clayton Athletic Fund" Hopefully this isn't the code for "Strippers and Booze" fund. :) Thanks again, we'll make better arrangements before going up there next year if you guys want to do this again. Thanks to Busa and Lara for messing with the money side of it all.
