weather report shows scattered thunder storms saturday.

How does that affect the wheeling there?
is it alot tougher when muddy?

as a side note, I havent got my welded 3rd installed yet! Im working on removing the old one currently, I might be working late Friday night.

 

If you need a garage to work in Friday night, you're welcome to come up. Or tonight.

 

thanks for the offer Will,
Butive made pretty good use of my time today, dispite misplaced tools, and a semi odd assortment of Metric tools!

I got it in, and ive been cruising Fayetteville, sqealing tires everywhere!
IM pretty sure this is coming out next week!
IM trying to figure out how to tell if its strong enough to take some ful throttel low range assaults.

if I do some burnouts, and I weakening it, or testing it?

I do have 30 psi in one tire, and 32 in the other, Im gonna brng them both to about 34 and see how tat does it.

it feels like IM dragging something also, in a coasting turn with the clutch in, its like the brakes are on almost.

I went to the carwash, and with the tires wet, its sort of fun, in a childish go cart sort of way.

I might start looking for a used lockrite for this beast, IM unsure I want to risk running this for long, and Ill probably take my original open diff along for the ride, after cleaning off all the crude, I can swap back in an hour probably.

I tried my best to get the spatter and BBS out of there, but im sure I missed some, so Im going to change the fluid a few times, and teh plug is magnetic, so hopefully itll pick them up, it wasnt hot, just warm after a few miles drive though.

I can tell its gonna be great off road!
I wish I had a steep gravel hill close by, I might just leave it in 2WD all weekend.


strange new world for my daily driver.

 

It looks like we are going to meet by the big dam around 10 or so saturday. (The left circle.)

 

hmmm, the main obstacles wont be "muddy", because there's no dirt, but out on the trails in the woods i imagine it might get sloppy

if so, you wont get any complaints from me

so the lincoln locker isnt very streetable, eh?

 

Muddy,

ive heard the larger the tires the more streetable the Miller locker is.

ive got 30" tires, so Im probably as bad as they get!
and it isnt bad, just different!

ive only got about 10 miles on it so far, we will see!

Hey Will, I have Told Ben that we were to meet you at the pilot at 8 am sat, if thats cool , we will ride along/follow you, since we dont know where in the hell we are going!

 

make sure if you get a flat to put the spare on the front... 2 different diameter tires on that thing would be quite interesting (torque steer from hell!)

8am, Pilot truck stop at 412/540, got it. Do yall have CB's and/or cell phones? I'll PM you two with my # in case I'm MIA or if the meeting place changes etc.

 

Will has a Cell, I dont

CB in truck tho.

pick a freq

 

No, I got out of the cell phone while trying to close on our house. I will have a CB though. Give me a channel. 8am sounds good at the Pilot.

Meeting there should be:
Will
Matt
Ben
Eric (muddybronco)
Geoff
Jacob (jeepfreak)

 

How about channel 12? or does it have to be 4?
or why not 27.555?
This is my rig, and itll be parked where we camp at Hogans, along with a mid 90s 3/4 ton Chev truck, maroon and silver with trailer, and BRIGHT yellow CJ7.

 

OK, channel 12 it is then. I'll post a picture after lunch of my junk, er, vehicles. I hope the little 318 doesn't have too much problem pulling it. Looks like we'll go 412 to Hwy 10/59 to Hwy 20 to Hwy 28. I'm getting excited. I haven't gotten to play with the Jeep since Ozark and I went to Clayton back in April.

 

Here's mine:

I still dont have a tow point up front, so the bumper might have to come off so i can put a hook on the frame... till I build my new bumper

it does look like it's going to be a wet saturday... i hope they dont open the flood gates while we're down there

 

Well guys, it looks like I'm going to have to take a rain check on this weekend. I hate it but I just don't think its going to work for me. Hope you guys have lots of fun. It sure would be nice if some you took some pics to share with us home bound.

 

OK, here's what I'll be hauling the jeep on.

 

Hey, muddybronco, was that picture taken behind rock ready?

 

Im taking a camera, maybe Ill get some decent photos, and not just pictures of me fixing broken crap.

woah Will!

you got that hualer hauling?

that trailer/CJ combo is going to be FUN.

you got a radio in the tow truck, or just the CJ?

Ill be looking for you guys at the pilot, and shouting on Ch12 in the morning.

laterz

 

no Will, that is in memphis. are there trails behind RockReady?

 

Down on the wolf river MuddyBronc?

I took my little sister and her TJ down there once.

 

so all the guys that are going to Disney, are asleep? except for me that is...

oh well, rain, sleet, or snow, lets go.

 

i dont know, somewhere near Hack's Cross road... about all i know. it's just a little creek crossing. look on my webpage at the Memphis page and you can get a better angle on the situation.

no i'm still awake... but fading fast
