Dec 3. 47 preclayton shakedown

[Doug Krebs]

sorry for all the threads, I just want to get the information for this sunday in one place.

Who do I need to call? If I can't find out by this afternoon I'll call junior and ask. Ed what rigs are you bringing? Got a spot on your trailer for my blazer? I only live about 3-4 miles from the place.

Who's definately in?

Me
Ed
Rowdy
Jordan

Who's a maybe?

Frick
Ryan clarke
Robert Cook

[JeepPhisherman]

You have a backseat in the blaze for me and the gf?

[stx4wheeler]

bronco should be in attendance like 95 % sure

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I will be bringin the jeep, if everything goes right i will have room on the trailer. I am still unsure as to the status of the furd though at this moment. If push comes to shove, I will have a 20' bumperpull with me behind my brothers truck and we can haul it on that and I will just sneak the jeep up there. The cheby will not be making an appearance anywhere other than my back 40 until clayton.

you staying the whole weekend? You can park whatever at my house if you need too.

Edit: you don't need to sneak the jeep. My house is only about 4 miles from 47, we could just drop the jeep off and then get my blazer real quick.

I'm working on getting it street legal, so we might not have to mess with this.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I was under the impression that the only thing to get the jeep ready would be taillights, but John may know more about this right now. I wouldnt mind driving it up there, as I have never even been in a jeep before. I wont be in town all weekend, just fri. night for some drinkin, saturday mornin wheelin with scotti, then whenever sunday we go. I will probably head back to the house inbetween all of this so my family doesnt scalp me for not being around. :gigem: We can sure make 2 trips also, this is fine with me, as I am pretty flexible for a fat boy;)

[sasquatch]

mine should be ready by then

[Gearhead61]

I'd like to tag along. When and where do we meet up?

[eight]

If I can get the jeep fixed by then I'll be in. Someone let me use a torch. Got some frame unbending and rewelding to do. I'll also use this as a reminder to replace a u-joint.

[Reckless]

Ed, ill teach ya the ways of the AMC

[FJAggie07]

I will be out there.

[stx4wheeler]

doug did you talk to junior? if so whattime am or pm, pm after, 12 noon would be best for me.

[RockHillCJ-6]

id like to go

[scottsdale87]

I'm in. What time?

[Eckert]

as long as its not at 8am im up for it.

[eight]

I fixed the frame today. I used a highlift, a pipe, and a medium size hammer to straighten it and bring the ripped part back together. First I tried moderate force but that did not work. So I tried more force, still no. I finally used excessive force and that got it. Then I got to weld upside down, always fun. Still not exactly straight, but pretty close. I'm gonna cut that mount off and replace it with a crossmember with integrated mount. I could just brace the mount more, but I think it would still twist the frame and eventually crack it.

I don't see how that is relative to this thread unless it means you're going on sunday. :flipoff2:

[RCcola55]

[eight]

Well, Doug, as long as I can get that u-joint replaced by then I might be in. You gonna be at meeting tonight?

[stx4wheeler]

THE 47 trip is going to be saturday not sunday, meet at mcdonalds on university at 12:45 or be at the gate at 1 pm sharp.

[BMFScout]

Well, Doug, as long as I can get that u-joint replaced by then I might be in. You gonna be at meeting tonight?

Kopecki, get a stunt double to cross the stage for you. St. John and crew committed to Clayton tonight. It's going to be crazy!!

[eight]

How about everyone just stay another 4-5 days? I'll go then. Yall don't want to go back to work or anything anyway.

[stx4wheeler]

Alright when i talked to steve from highway 47 last night he said saturday was his free day because of a christmas parade in bryan on sunday. Well i checked my email and the lady from the paradea also emailed me, and says the parade is the second which his saturday. So i will call steve back tonight, again and ask him to check his email. If the parade is in fact on saturday we will go sunday at the same time. sorry for all the confusion

[Doug Krebs]

[AggieTJ2007]

Robbie already has vaginitas

[CheapJeep]

After seeing your dirty mexican woman hair do, I would most definitely say that you are the one with vaginitis... :flipoff2:

[DRAGOONRANCH]

so i take it you see that as a good thing. Im looking forward to it.

I think it is awesome, it keeps the place fresh. I get that Summers Eve feeling... ;)

I am just glad to see all the *****ing and thread bashing we do hasnt run yall off. Stick around, these guys are a blast. :beer:

[Doug Krebs]

Ed you still up for putting my shat box on the trailer? I still need to change two u-joints in the shafts, but that shouldn't take to long tommorow morning.

[Doug Krebs]

Also, if anyone has a 1350 yoke for a dana 60 call me 979-220-6444. I've got a conversion u-joint, but I'd rather not use it.

[savvyaggie]

what time and were are we meeeting????? Kevin r u drivin??

[Doug Krebs]

what time and were are we meeeting????? Kevin r u drivin??

I think they were leaving at 12:45 from mcdonalds or meeting at the gate at 1:00.

Anyone know Ed's number? Or anyone want to help me get my shatbox up there? I live 4 miles from the place pretty much just a straight shot down villa maria.

[BMFScout]

That could happen tomorrow in the cavalier. Is it really that unsafe to drive? I guarantee I've driven worse! :gigem:

well no, but no insurance registration or inspection...

ed's on his way, he's my jesus!

[savvyaggie]

DAMN!!!!! That sure wuz some good wheelin'..... For those of you how didn't hit that back trail with us missed out!!!!

[Gearhead61]

It was a lot of fun meetin' all y'all today. Hopefully I'll be able to get my own rig here sometime and get out there with you guys more often!

[eight]

Yea, good wheelin.

Jordan's jeep was rather impressive.

[Doug Krebs]

Well the 2 wheel drive mudding was fun for me! Broke the front conversion yoke the first obstacle. I was only idling up it and wasn't using any gas. I'm assuming the u-joint had something wrong with it. I'm just going to get a 1350 pinion yoke and call it good.

Definately found out I need bump stops. Those springs flex until they are arched the wrong way. I'm not sure how much I like them. I'm going to put the overload back in them and also finish the bumpstops and limiting straps.

Also need to do something about the steering. Think I'm going replace the pump and rebuild the box. I hate not being able to steer.

[FJAggie07]

Highlights of the day:

"Did he come back with two dogs?"
"Where the hell is your shovel?"
"Damn that guy needs to learn how to drive..."
"Is that his front drivetrain hanging down?"
"Is that tennis ball stuck in the mud on kopecki's jeep?"
"Miller High Life Light?"

And personal motto of the day:
"Awwww fawk it..."

[RockHillCJ-6]

did i see someone taking pics of me in the mud? and possibly on that big arse hill? at least it felt big to me. if so id like to see what i was doing that my truck wasnt made for

My tires allways sucked in the mud anyway. Maybe someday I'll get some of those with the tread on them.

It was when you were trying to get up the last obstacle at the end. I am having trouble e-mailing as well. I will keep trying. I think my e-mail server is having some problems. I will get it to you some how.

i think the order may be worng, but yeah, those were highlights. the rubicon in the creek was worth it to me. I had tons of fun with yall out there though. i need to get a beater. my motto ended up being, "that ****'ll buff out". I was impressed by jordans jeep and the cummins. I didnt know what to expect since i didnt know the trials so next time ill try more.
