[BMFScout]

by spectating do you mean throwing rocks at cook from the broke ass bridge?

[BMFScout]

hungover as ****, yes...

[robertf03]

I'm still in

[Doug Krebs]

If we do it in the afternoon on the 12th, and my pile of pooh is ready, I'm in.

[texasxj]

So do we still want to do the hwy cleanup and then wheel or vice versa or what?

[Doug Krebs]

I'd still like to go... we'll see how much I get done after my test tommorow.

[stx4wheeler]

both we were thinking wheel for a few hours then do highway cleanup. Steve said if we cleanup the highway we can get in for half price.

BOOO! What time are ya'll thinking of going? I'll be hauling ass back from a wedding on sunday morning. If I get the rest of what I need done on the blazer this week, I'll still have to install the gas tank on sunday before 47. That and figuring out someway of getting there.

I wouldn't be scared to pull it on a trailer with my truck for the 4 miles from my house to there.

[stx4wheeler]

i dunno i was gonn say wheeling after trash pick up but i believe there was some problem with no one going to be there to open the gate im gonna talk to steve in the next day or two and get a definite time.

[JeepPhisherman]

I thought he said wheel for free if we do the highway cleanup the same day?

Either way I can't, so it no matta.

[colman]

i bet i could get jason to let us in and i can't be there till noon myself but the blazer is coming if the bushings come in

[sasquatch]

im in. no mud

[scottsdale87]

I'm in for after lunch to wheel or cleanup

[AggieTJ2007]

any news on the wheeling?

[stx4wheeler]

i bet i could get jason to let us in and i can't be there till noon myself but the blazer is coming if the bushings come in

him and steve will be gone after the morning that why we would have to wheel in the am and cleanup in the p.m, no creighton i havent had time to call him.

[8Runner]

I'm out Sunday, would be game for Saturday

[Reckless]

Im in with reagan

[stx4wheeler]

sunday is when it is gonna happen sorry chris.

[8Runner]

No biggie, been to 47 plenty of times - go when the most people can...

[colman]

i just got a call from jason he said there will be some other people out there at 8 am so they can wheel before it gets hot so we could get in then

[AggieTJ2007]

ok so are we meeting at mcdonalds at 8 or what?

[colman]

i con't go till after 1230 because of outfit pictures but just so there is something said and done

mcdonalds at 750 and then be at the bvorr gate at nlt 815

i will call someone and see if yall are there later

?

[JB]

i just got a call from jason he said there will be some other people out there at 8 am so they can wheel before it gets hot so we could get in then

yeah, I am suppose to be out there first thing in the AM.

[stx4wheeler]

plan on leaving mcdonalds at 7 45 being there at 8 remember we are doing a trash pick up after wheeling that is the reason we are getting in for a reduced rate, if you plan to wheel please plan on staying to help cleanup our section of adopta highway on 47. Plan on trash cleanup starting around 12:00-12:30ish. More people the better for the trash cleanup, also jsut cause you are not wheeling you are still more than welcome to come help wth the trash pickup.

make sure and bring your 5 bucks per person not per rig.

[95discovery]

ill be there for the wheeling [hopefully], i have a paper due next week so im not sure if ill be able to stick around for trash clean up, i gotta check with my group and see when theyre meeting

[AggieTJ2007]

Ill be there with the jeep

Not too much happend b/c all breakage happened on the first trail. Stephen rolled his clean Wagoneer. Lost a back window, a windshield and frame, a valve cover and damaged drivers doors.

I have some serious issues with my whole drivetrain moving. THe T-case moved about 3" and broke my fuel filter canister, thus making me have to bypass it again.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the cleanup, i had to work at 2pm...come to find out later I actually misread my schdule and could have stayed out there. :mad:

[95discovery]

thanks for posting pics, i was hopeing someone would have some.
nothing good can come from wheeling at 8am...

[agjohn02]

i know where that was. was it so muddy you slid back down the creek bank and flopped or what?

[JB]

is this your DD now Stephen?

[95discovery]

i know where that was. was it so muddy you slid back down the creek bank and flopped or what?

actually it was too sloppy to get traction to turn, instead of turning to get a good shot at the incline it just kept going straight. After a few times of backing up to straighten it out (to no avail) i decided to take it further up the bank and it flopped. live and learn


and yea its my DD but i went home to pick up the aerostar so i have something to take to class and get around. The sooner the jeep is drivable the better

[eight]

What needs to be done to get it cruising again?

[95discovery]

it runs now, just need to get the roof/windshield area straight and get the glass replaced. That should be it.

[JeepPhisherman]

thought about using plexi this time around?

[JeepPhisherman]

oh, and nice! :gigem:

[95discovery]

thought about using plexi this time around?

possibly, can you do that for the windshield too or just the side glass?

[JeepPhisherman]

dont know about the rules for non-laminated glass on a front window

[StevenAg03]

i went home to pick up the aerostar so i have something to take to class and get around.

be careful about driving a luxury vehicle such as this. after a while of driving it, you wont want go back to anything else...ask me how i know... :gigem:

[JeepPhisherman]

pretty sure he's dying not to drive that thing around anymore

[savvyaggie]

i know where that was. was it so muddy you slid back down the creek bank and flopped or what?


is that the same spot were u winched me out??

[mudtoy67]

I'm not sure you'd want to use plexiglass, at least for the front windshield anyway. Plexiglass is not very scratch resistant, unless they've changed it recently, and when your wipers travel they'll scratch it up pretty fast. Especially with a bunch of mud on the window.

Is that the same spot I broke that shaft and we came down sideways?

good point, i never thought about that

[agjohn02]

yes and yes

Why didnt you come to the cleanup?

one option could be speedglass, if they make it for that application. The nice thing about those old waggys is that they're are alot of them out there for cheap, hence cheap replacement bodies. If worse comes to worse, chop off the top, build a cage and run a softtop

Remember, its a DD, or was :flipoff2:

[BMFScout]

I stayed at Kopecki's house and didn't know he went out there. Wheeling at 8am is dumb.

[sasquatch]

****'ll buff out

[CRaSHnBuRN]

Remember, its a DD, or was :flipoff2:

yeah, so? alot of jeeps and other open topped vehicles run all year with just a rollcage, front windshield, and a bikini top.

[JB]

What ended up being the fuel problem?

[95discovery]

theres an oil pressure switch that controls the fuel pump. if it doesnt sense any pressure, the pump wont work. When it flopped over it pulled the wires out of the sensor and therefor the pump wouldnt run.

[colman]

steven looks like we need to go and get that waggy soon so you can get all of the parts that you need, give me a call.

[agjohn02]

no you're dumb. that was months ago. jordan wasnt there either i dont think. as a matter of fact i wasnt either. 8am is a bad time to wheel.

[BMFScout]

I get it now, the flop happened yesterday but you felt like posting pics from months ago for the **** of it. I knew Kopecki couldn't have been out there. He had to have been as drunk as I was the night before, and there was no way I was making it.

[jerryg79]

Correction Jimmy, you were drunk in the morning.

[sasquatch]

there was a piss poor turnout at the cleanup...

[stx4wheeler]

creighton why didnt you come help pick up trash i know you went wheeling sunday?

[uglyota]

I think Creighton got abducted or something. Next time he farts, flames and a satellite dish are going to come out his arse

[Reckless]

..

[agjohn02]

weird. did i actually watch that episode last night or was it a dream?

[uglyota]

I don't know I haven't seen South Park in months :(

[agjohn02]

i watched it online.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I don't know I haven't seen South Park in months :(

[AggieTJ2007]

Well, I had some issues with the t-case, mainly a massive leak from the shifter rails, they are to short and tore up the seals so I had to head home, It took me 7 quarts of gear lube to get home

[uglyota]

http://allabout-sp.net/episodes.php
thanks, it's now your fault that I won't ever finish my thesis :D

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I do what I can

Speaking of not finishing ****, I thought there was gonna be a bed and sliders on the ugly truck this week. What happened?

[uglyota]

worked on the other trucks and put lights on the trailer. priorities suck

[jerryg79]

[uglyota]
