couldnt make it today, obviously, hope everyone had a good time and hope to see some pics soon

Hopefully see you guys at 2pm on sunday at the mounds

Anyone interested?

have that exact suspension, 05 rubicon springs and an RE 2" BB on my 98 wrangler, and its great, rides much better than stock

good luck selling

I know no one really said they were coming, but we have to cancel the trip this sunday

hopefully we'll be able to hit the trails with you guys soon

Ben

Actually we have to reschedule for October 18th, the next sunday.

So far its me and 2 guys i work with, 2 TJs on 32s and the RWD Buggy i asked about in another post

Who all is up for the mounds on october 18th?

I've only been to the mounds once, dont really know the trails or anything.

A guy from work might tag along on the 11th with a rwd buggy, he's got BFG mud terrains on the back, real low weight, coilover shocks, plenty of power, just wondering what mounds veterans thought of the idea, whether he might just get stuck a lot, or he'll be fine, or its a terrible idea

So the 11th sounds better to the couple people who have responed...

Anyone else up for October 11th?

Anybody up for wheeling at the Mounds either Oct. 4th or 11th (both sundays)

It'd be me (2" Lift, 32" tires) and a friend (also on 32s) plus whoever else wants to go. I know I havent met anybody on here yet, but i'd like to and I'd like to get the jeep dirty as well.

Let me know if anyone is interested,

Ben

I had a 91 YJ for a while, make sure that you get the 4.0L Fuel injected engine, not the 4.2L carb...

I think they started the Fuel Injected 4.0L in 91 (correct me if im wrong on the year), so start there. Also from 92 on they had the safer "family roll bar" as opposed to the triangle shaped "sport" bar from the '91 and earlier. would make things easier in terms of the rear seat belts, but i didnt mind the sport bar, looked more old school.

I lived outside chicago and didnt have a hard top, the soft top worked fine in the winter, sometimes there was a slight fine snow that would come through the top, but it was an original top, about 13 years old, so as long as you get a newer top, it will be fine.

Loved my YJ, it died, if you want to wheel it, new leaf springs can make it ride like new, good luck finding one

Question is pretty much in the title,

just wondering

Ben

Thanks for the invite, I'll see what I'm up to sunday

As for pics, I've never been good at posting them on forums, but I've got some links to the pics on facebook

Probably more than you asked for, but those are the pics of my jeep that i think i have, hopefully meet some of you guys soon

Hello All,

Name is Ben and I used to have a 91 YJ (thus the user name) I currently drive a 98 TJ, mildly built.

Its got a 2" RE BB and I'm running 32x11.5 BFG ATs. The other stuff i've done to it are pretty much protection and keepin the powertrain going. 4.0L and a 5 speed.

Anyway, I'm from outside of chicago and have been wheeling plenty of times, mainly at the Badlands in Indiana and the Cliffs in Illinois. Looking forward to meeting some people out here and getting the jeep dirty
