flipping rollercoaster ride..

who's goin? me, karl and ready4wheelin will be there around 9am. i currently have one open seat if anyones interested

cancel this...brian and eric..have fun...

my jeep just slid backwards down the steep driveway of this house amy and i have been dog/house sitting at and found a tree,,blew out the rear window..mangled the rear hatch a bit (might be fixable, but it wont open right now)...left a mess at this house inside their dog fence..so i gotta get up in the morning and clean all the glass up..and see if i can find a replacement rear hatch for a 2000 xj. yippie..
 
if anyone has a line on a rear hatch for a 97 plus xj let me know..or if your in a junkyard and see one let let me know..obviously i need it..

thanks guy have fun tomorrow..

actually started to get something done today..replaced the broken ccv elbow in the v.cover..also fixed the broken vacuum line going to the cruise control..spent a lil while loading her up with wheeling stuff and tools for tomorrow and then spent some more time attemting to locate my annoying vacuum leak type whistle that only sounds off when i am off the throttle coastng in drive put her in park and it sputters away..my fixes lessoned its decibel level but its still there..i am thinking the broke booster is the source so that next weeks project...this 2000 is starting to nickel and dime me to death..

As of this morning, no afternoon appointments for Saturday - anyone still going to be there after lunch??

if nothing breaks we should still be there..probably stuck like a mofo since i wont be wheeling with a locker..(can you tell, i am dreading the idea of not having that locker installed back there)...especially in the snow and ice..either way we are linking up in rochester at 0800 and heading out from there..so we'll be around the park near 0900 hrs.it'll be good to be out again...

minor note..whats the entry cost this year..its been about a year since i was there last..not sure if gov. granny raised the rates on stuff like this again..

dont really think i need it. this xj's wheeling life started out as a 2wd  southern beach jeep..i used to take it 2wd wheeling in the coastal swamps down south. got stuck plenty but also learned a thing or two about smart wheelin (ie..lotsa skinny pedal), since then i converted it to 4wd and installed the locker ......just was a nice feeling to have the locker back there..solid footing most every time .....slowing down and just sorta motoring thru stuff ment more fun for me as I matured some in my wheeling adventures.. i still love the skinny pedal though and am not afraid to use it..tomorrow it will see plenty of usage..

on that note..this locker thing has been a mess...back when it broke (last time i went wheeling at the mounds with you all) i contacted summit for replacement parts..was told they where out of stock..i asked for email updates on availability..since then it seems everytime they send an update the available date gets moved back..finally called em two weeks ago and was told by this salesman that its a special order part..they only order when i order..so i placed my order..now it will be here march 9th..a week late and a dollar short..

suck..

Why do you need a locker? I don't use a locker and don't have much of any trouble....just need a heavy foot on the skinny pedal..lol

i'm planning to be there...

94 xj: when you planning on leaving? i might need someone to help yank my non locked xj out of some holes (damn replacement parts are still on backorder from summit)...

unless chris wants to return the favor..

whens everyone planning to get there?

one question 11b..why in the heck do you go wheeling in your complete duty/field ACU uniform.. do they let you in the mounds for free in uniform? seems to me theres plenty of warmer shit availalbe to wear outside on a cold day of wheeling and winching other then your issued ACU's....

hey Nosilla when you get "made by" or company logo stickers made up...holler my way and we'll throw one on amys zj and help y'all advertise..still very very happy with the bumper...It has stood up to its far share of college parking lot abuse and is no worse for wear..

snowshoes, Guinness pint glasses and a bucket, A scale probably to go with the pile of german chocolate (guess they think i am going to be getting fat?), lotsa Ranger themed Tshirts w/a flag and a new Ball cap..couple of wierd books and some cash...

so far best of all has been a SLOOOWW day for the FD..."as of yet" NO CALLS..quiet day in my city (by comparison i believe this weekend was our busiest of the year, so expectations for today where high)

oh yea my gift for the jeep arrives thursday...PA300 siren for the jeep with two hundred watt speakers..should be loud as hell..
