mounds again, since vassars closed for a bog. anyone interested?
I'd ride along with somebody.
Vassar isn't closed for that bog.. That bog is a little ways down the main street in another sand pit that the same guy owns.
We could go to Vassar, and I could wheel my truck there..
-Brandon
ill be out with the boy for the youth hunt :cry:
i was planning on going to vassar but neil said they were going to have that event there .brandon where did you hear that from? if you are right i still will go to vassar. bubba and my nephew might come out with his xj also. i will make sure to get his burried.
I think what Neil was referring to was the signs we say last time the club was out there on our way home. Theres a charity mud bog down m15 a little ways at another one of that guys pits (or at least thats where the signs were).
Theres no mud big enough for a mud bog in the one that we go to. I'm up for going out there, and I'll have the tank, so I can pull people out (no way I'm going in any mud!).
-Brandon
this is located at the place we went to before.

You won't be able to wheel there Saturday. You might want to plan on the mounds if anything....or go enter the bog
ok but that blows
Damn that sucks.
Hows Sunday for you folks?
-Brandon
Late Sunday afternoon might work for me. I will be sleeping till probally 3 0r 4 pm though.
Heh.. I never get up before then anyways. :)
-Brandon
pam could go then she might be game saturday is her birthday and she and amanda will be at girl scout camp
ive decided not to wheel saturday, ill be goin sunday now
I might be able to sneak out for a while on Sunday
Sweet. I work Saturday but have Sunday off. This works out great for everyone it sounds like. Awesome !
I don't know if Chris is able to go with us or not, but if we could meet at his house like last time.. that worked out really great. I don't want to volunteer his house.. but just a suggestion. Matt's would work too if he's available to go.
-Brandon
you still need to ride along, i imagine there will be an open seat in the x-ghey
Is that an "if" or is that directed towards someone?
I *should* be able to get my truck for that day... but I *might* need to ride along.
-Brandon
I'm not pulling that heavy ass truck out. Just to let you know. Thats to much on my baby jeep. :D
Which, earlier in the thread, I stated I would not try anything where I have a chance of getting stuck.. as everyone bitches when it comes to pulling that truck out..
-Brandon
:D
brandon you are welcome in the x-ghey.
are we goin to vassar or mounds?
Vassar!!! (and thanks, I might have to take you up on that!)
-Brandon
Going wheeling Saturday at a friends house, but if you guys are going out wheeling on Sunday, I could tag along with ya.
I am up for vassar this sunday for I work all day saturday.
Quote from: "94_xj_country"are we goin to vassar or mounds?
watch out for the gotmud ppl :o
Yikes.. So I stroll into work today. "Brandon, did you forget we switched you from today to working 5 to close on Sunday".
"F***! F***! F***!"
So yea.. guess I can't go. I asked everybody else if they could cover for me, but nope. :(
-Brandon
That blows. there is always next time Brandon.
Yea.. I know.
Man.. its weird.. Of everyone I started working with 6 months ago, including the 2 other people that started with me.. The last one is leaving saturday (thats why I'm covering her shift on sunday).
Its kinda sad... Going through friends that quickly..
Pizza places suck. They have the lowest average job length of any business.
-Brandon
thats to bad you cant go i heard Longarm saying something about a body bag and a shovel :D
:lol: :lol: :roll: :lol: :lol:
Hahahahahahahahaah.
-Brandon

Must be the place you work for. I drove for the same shop off and on for 14 years - a lot of faces came and went, but there was always a core of about 1/2 that had been there either steady or like me off and on for years at a time. That's part of the reason I kept going back. The other part was green and made of untraceable paper! :D
Whats in Vassar by the way?
Quote from: "Mudviper"Whats in Vassar by the way?
A sand pit.. its an active pit so you can only wheel there after 5pm on weekdays, or anytime on the weekends.. but its pretty sweet.

Yea.. I really like my job. I have not really had one day where I've NOT wanted to go to work. Its fun, its different everyday, I meet a lot of cool and nice people... I get to drive my Jeep or my truck all day and I love driving. My only issue with it is I never know how much money I'm gonna make. A few days I've made 20-22 bucks an hour. Other days I've made $8 an hour.
One day this week I was "laid off" as there wasn't enough work. My manager said she made 7-10 pizza's the ENTIRE day. I have never seen it that slow for the 5 or 6 months I've worked there.
-Brandon
Theres good money to be made in the pizza business ! I started at the Hut delivering pizzas a year later I was a manager lol. I spent 9 years in the pizza business the GM called ... or I would still be there !
this blows i thought this was for Sunday not saturday. oh well.
it is for sunday now, i just dont know how to edit titles
Quote from: "94_xj_country"it is for sunday now, i just dont know how to edit titles
:D
you missed a spot :lol:
ok Maybe i can make the time now. Just depends on when i get out to look at those trailers.
Quote from: "Mudviper"Whats in Vassar by the way?
vassar is all sand with woop's and some ponds and hills its pretty fun heres a pic from the last time i was there

-Brandon
BTW. I'll be in Vassar now this sunday. I finally found someone to cover my shift.
-Brandon

-Brandon
oh my goodness. You are all under suspicion....just cuz.
Oh, and for the CJs pictured above---they are for sale. That is, as long as I can find the titles and you can come get them when Chris is not here :lol:
(Oops, I forgot that Longarm has a body bag and shovel....Ummmmmmmm, ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I've reconsidered selling the Jeeps.... :))
SO ARE WE ALL GOING TO YASSAR AND IF SO WHAT TIME?????????? ALL OF US HOMMIES THAT IS
someone pick a place to meet, say around 2
i would but i dont know the area like y'all
the speedway by chris would work good m15 & richfield rd
Yah whats the decision. Mounds or Vassar?
how about this:
1pm : meet at mounds
-wheel mounds for a little bit
3pm : leave mounds, go to vassar
-wheel vassar, leave after we had our fun, then go grab some food and acouple beers.
that sound good to everyone? if not then figure out something else
That should work Brian. I will end up just meeting you guys in Vassar if i come out tomorrow. I don't get out from work till 7 am then i need some sleep. Plus i plan to go look at a trailer tomorrow.
not sure what Chris' plans are and if he is planning to wheel with you (since the rig is broken and I'm tired of cleaning out the H2 everytime it tiptoes off road, I'm guessing it's a no.)
However, if you want, you guys are always welcome to come hang out here afterwards and throw shoes, watch the race (not sure when it's on...), play Dbikers Golf :lol:.
BYOB since I think the keg is empty, or at least flat :)
Oh, I spoke with a Vassar cop the other day and he isn't aware of any issues with wheeling in Vassar. Not sure if you guys ever got resolution with that, but from his point of view, the cops aren't overly interested or called out there to deal with tresspassers.
That'll work Brian. I gotta do a flooring job with my dad tomorrow at a friend of ours house... so I'll probably just end up meeting you guys @ Vassar.
Whats your cell number so I can call you if need be?
-Brandon
i will meet you all in vassar later then sounds good
well i will be at the mounds at 1. WHOEVER WANTS TO GO TO VASSAR, meet me at the mounds parking lot at 3pm, i dont know how to get to vassar so i need you to meet me there. i lost my phone, but you will be able to contact me at (248) 765-4994
I can't make it ... have to work a bit of OT !!!
Matt and I might go when I get out at 5 if you guys are still out there. PM matt your cell Brian.

I'm up for Vassar today. I'm not doing the mounds. I have read several times being thrown around, is there somethign decided yet for time?
meet in mounds parkin lot at 3pm, from there we will go to vassar
I might pass on this one. Wheel safe and hopefully nobody breaks anything. Watch out for the God Mud people.
Quote from: "longarm"Watch out for the God Mud people.
:shock:
Their not all bad. It's just that I have seen some of them drinking and some of them smoking pot while their back in the mounds. Not a very smart thing to do while your operating a vehicle.
i foud a pic of there fearless (self appointed) leader smoking down :roll:
Well.. Of all the people that were gonna meet us out there. It was just me, and Paul/Pam/Family.
I was showing off for a bunch of four wheelers and dirt bikers by spinning around and shooting sand and all the sudden I lost power steering and power braking in the truck. Then I saw my serpentine belt (which has been in very bad condition) laying on the ground under the truck. Then I found a pulley sitting in the sand. Uh oh.
Well.. about a month ago, an 1/8th inch of the serpentine belt came off and was wrapped around the fan clutch. Took it out, didn't think much of it. The belt still looked good.
Today, the power steering pump seized, blew the shaft, and the shaft and pulley fell to the ground, as well as the serpentine belt. So we think thats probably why we lost that 1/8th inch before too.
Drove it about 15 miles.. on and off till the motor got hot, then I'd pull over.. Finally met my dad in Millington, and he pulled me home with the van. Power steering pump is $75 at advanced (autozone wanted $120 for it).. So thats where we are at.
I guess P&P&F had some problems removing Pams driveshaft on the way home (her T-Case is blown) and decided to try to drive it home.. but had to stop on the way back.
Anyways, we all had a really fun time. Both P&P's jeeps did REALLY well out there.. got really muddy, everybody including the two kids had mud on them... Nothing major broke.. so it was a good trip!
-Brandon
As far as the Got Mud people go.. I've met some of them that have been real assholes, but they are also the ones that'll drop whatever they are doing and spend 6 hours digging out your 10,000 pound diesel thats buried up to the frame in mud. Not that thats ever happened to me... :lol:
I haven't personally witnessed anyone doing anything illegal there.. not even drinking (although that video posted before on our forums shows them running for their beer in the mud). So I don't have anything negative to say about them. They have pulled me out of tight situations SEVERAL times though and for that I'm appreciative.
-Brandon
we all had a great time !!!! the drivshaft was a pain to get back off due to a shitty 5/16 wrench was stripping the bolt but good old channel locks broke it loose and we were on our way here's a camara phone pic its crappy
more pics please :D
So... Autozone wanted $120 for the PS Pump.. Advanced $75 without the reservoir, and Murrays wanted $44..
Can you tell who we went with? lol.
-Brandon
if they offer it with the resivor get it that way they can be a pain and are prone to leak
Well, I had a lot of fun yesterday!! Finally got to drive my OWN Jeep! We finished off that Transfer Case on the way home.....and maybe something else? Can't tell, there's too much mud!!! :D It growled at me all the way to work this morning, so I guess we have to change the T-Case now. I wish we would have had the camera.....camera phones just aren't the same! Paul is gonna try to get the pictures to fit in the post. It was fun hangin' out with you Brandon, hopefully there will be more of us able to go next time ;)
Here is a cool pic (for a camera phone)
(//i100.photobucket.com/albums/m13/prentiss_01/092307_16491_edited.jpg)
Yea, I had a good time wheeling with you guys.
We didn't buy the reservoir.. We check probably twice daily to see if the truck is leaking, especially since I've been driving it at work the past few weeks.. and it hasn't spotted anywhere.. So I'm assuming the reservoir is still good..
-Brandon
madee its just my kid of luck then brandon thats great you got it fixed that fast and easy
