Table Mesa on the 2nd (Monday)

[twstdtj]

Looking to go out to TM for some fun on Monday. Trails to be determined This run will not be for stock vehicles unless you want to tag along and watch!!

[LOST TJ]

Sounds Good. Circle K 8 am?

[LKD TJ]

I am going to try and get my heep fixed today, then I am down.

[tyota]

hmmmmm..... to do or not to do that is the question

[D-Dub]

I might go out there for a bit of fun.

Dave

[twstdtj]

Allrighty then, We'll meet at the circle K on 7th Ave and the 101 at 8:00 am and should be at the airdown spot at TM by 8:45.

See ya all then!!!

JD, Predator sort of things? If so I'd be interested. :D

Running H2H on Sunday so I will be there so long as my junk is wheelable. :rolleyes:

Yep,
Some of the rigs need a shake down run so we may do Raw Deal first.

Hope to see ya

[Griswold]

I'm Game. I will have to meet you at the airdown spot. I need to deflower my Irocs.

Cool!! See ya there I wanna see how well they do as I will be making a tire change soon!

Nick,
Pay Attention!!!! :D :D :D

[1eagle]

Ok, Rachael, Travis, Nick you talked me in to it. If I can get someone else to trade on call with me I will try and make it. Take it easy on me I'm delicate:D

[tyota]

Nick,
Pay Attention!!!! :D :D :D

whatcha talking about?:cool:

[mingoglia]

Don't forget our wheelin' and dealin' on Monday there Mr. Brian. :rolleyes:

[Griswold]

Don't forget our wheelin' and dealin' on Monday there Mr. Brian. :rolleyes:
You better call and remind me about that. I thought that was happening late in the day?:confused:

[Wind_Danzer]

Have fun y'all and take lots of pictures!!!! :D

[mingoglia]

You better call and remind me about that. I thought that was happening late in the day?:confused:

Yep, late in the day. Just didn't know when the wheeling was going on. I could bump the time up a little bit if you wanted as I realized I don't actually work on Monday. I'm always the last to know. You and I talked about 5-5:30 but now I can do it anytime. We can keep the 5-5:30 so you can go wheeling... I just need to make sure I get to Grady's by 7:00 or so (although if you wanted to do it earlier I believe I can hit grady's as early as 3:00 as I believe that's when he gets home). Regardless 5-5:30 still works for me... so I'll release the hi-jack of the thread back. :D I'll give you a call later.

Mike

[LKD TJ]

Ok, Rachael, Travis, Nick you talked me in to it. If I can get someone else to trade on call with me I will try and make it. Take it easy on me I'm delicate:D

Now that is funny! Look forward to wheelin' with you.

[1eagle]

See ya their about 8:30 at air down spot. First time on these tails, does that make me a VIRGIN:confused:

[Wind_Danzer]

Oh man, you're going to love these trails. I hope Predator treats you right and people better get lots of pics!!!! I really wanna do that trail!!!

[Devil Man]

I am thinking about doing this run, I'll let you know soon. :)

[tyota]

come on DM I've yet to wheel with you

[xFallen]

I am seeing 7-8 potential rigs showing interest from this thread. That doesn't include the ones that will just show. I guess it doesn't include attrition either.

I suggest we'll be hard pressed to get that many rigs through 4 trails (plus Murphy since you KNOW that mofo will show up) and be home before midnight. Ya know...just sayin'.... be prepared is all.


Barry

[Wind_Danzer]

come on DM I've yet to wheel with you

You mean roll with him??? :D

[Griswold]

How about a head count for this run. check in if you are for sure. I am definite unless it is raining when I get up.

[tyota]

I'm going either way! I've got windows:D
I hope it's raining, better the chances for snow up north

[BillR]

I'm going either way! I've got windows:D
I hope it's raining, better the chances for snow up north
I'll be running Broken Arrow tomorrow and I hope we DO get some rain or snow. That makes it interesting...:D

[1eagle]

I will be their if it is not raining. See ya.

[ActualReverend]

So if stockers are welcome, does that mean that there are harder lines to take with easier ones next to them? I have never ran any of these trails, and am considering "tagging along" but I want to know what that means.
--Bryan

[LOST TJ]

I'm still in.

--Bryan

I wouldn't consider these trails as "Stocker" material.:eek: Might want to look at the old site at the trails listings:Judgement Day, Upper and Lower Terminator, Upper and Lower Raw Deal, Table Mesa area trails, Collateral Damage, etc. You could tag along with someone else to watch the carnage though.:D

[Wind_Danzer]

Lower Raw Deal can be done by a stocker with a little help and the right line...

The rest.. well.. ummmmm.... :eek:

[LKD TJ]

These trails are not for the faint of heart. The only trail that we will run that is doable for stock setup would be Raw Deal. It is a great area to wheel and you are more than welcome to sit shotgun with myself or I am sure there are a couple of other open seats but there will be carnage if you are not on at least 33's and not completely open diffs.

Oh yeah and by the way..... Rachel and I will be there












With 2 Jeeps :D :D :D :D :D

Although I may have to take it easy with my rear driveshaft.

[Wind_Danzer]

You mean you might actually learn a little finesse? ;) :p

[LKD TJ]

You mean you might actually learn a little finesse? ;) :p

Take it easy, finesse is my middle name. ( I just choose to ignore it occassionally ) :D :D :D :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Wind_Danzer]

Lol :d :d :d

[lancetkenyon]

You're right WD, Lower Raw Deal is doable with a stocker, just trying to let him know what he would be getting into. We should go wheeling again sometime, just not a caravan at 75MPH again.;)

[twstdtj]

Hi as I posted originally these trails are NOT for Stockers, I didnt want to offend anyone, and you are more than welcome to come and watch and Im sure there will be plenty of Shotgun seats available. We will run Raw deal just as a shakedown for a couple of rigs that have done major mods, and havent wheeled em yet. After that it gets fun.


Best Regards,

Jeff

No, I don't like you... stalker.




























:D :D :D

Just name a place and if I'm off, I'm game!!!! Are you going to the rock light/kill switch workshop on Saturday? I'm sure there will be a night run or late day run afterwards. I also have a Hackberry Creek run planned with Gary on the 8th.

I don't know that I would say lower terminator is all that hard:cool:
raw deal is for bunny's (even though I broke their) it's still for bunnys, lower terminator is a good learning trail, but nothing that "hardcore" Mike ran it in his tj open front and rear with 3.07's that night jeff flopped it can't be that hardcore

[Wind_Danzer]

But doesn't Mike have a lift and larger tires.... I didn't think he was "stock".

[tyota]

But doesn't Mike have a lift and larger tires.... I didn't think he was "stock".

yes from my understanding he was at 3.5" lift and 33's. however! I was just making a point that terminator is "not" that hardcore:cool:

[Wind_Danzer]

Ahhh, ok. Just was hoping that you weren't trying to give a ray of hope to a completely stock vehicle. Though I'd love to see 'em try. ;) Especally if they are damn good drivers. :D

[Lifes A Jeep]

I'm gonna come out to play for a bit. I'll be at the airdown spot around 8:30.

[Griswold]

I hate to be a nag but I have had my fill of lower terminator. Let's play on predator and Judgement day. Or maybe the 37's could run colateral damage. I can lead that one.

[xFallen]

Agreed on the Terminator. That is a 20 minute trail these days that will take a lot of hours if there's too many rigs.

JD is an okay warm up. Predator would be cool, as would CD. I can break my junk on CD pretty easy I bet. :D

In any case, see you in the morning.


Barry

[joedokes28]

I would love to come out and watch, but I am one of the unlucky few who has to go into work.

Have fun.

[ActualReverend]

Thanks for the info, decided not to go... but I would enjoy a link here to the pictures....

Not sure yet, cracket a bone in my foot on Sat. and am hobbling around. Maybe.

[xFallen]

It was very nice to meet some new face and hopefully new friends. Of course it was good to wheel with the familiar faces too.

Sorry about the carnage for those whose ticket was punched today by the wheeling deities. It happens to us all.

I really want to run Predator so we'll have to get out and do that one next time.

Oh yeah. I have a grudge against the left hand side on the notch. I am quite sure I could have made it up but felt like we as a group needed to be getting back and I didn't want to hold us up by additional attempts and risking breakage.

I usually take lots of pictures. This trip I did not even break out the camera. I am really looking forward to seeing tons of pics and video. :D

The left side is very doable. The shorter lifts tend to have an advantage with the lower COG and less frontend unloading. This is not an obstacle to run with unseated coils on a tall lift. Don't ask how I know. :rolleyes:

[Griswold]

It was a good time. The cherry has been popped on the irocs. Great tire, I hope they last a while.
My photographer spent more time in the Jeep today so I did not get many pics. When she got out of the rig she was only interested in another TJ. That is the dogs name.

Yeah, definitely doable. There were a few attempts where I could feel it climbing nicely.

I actually only had one issue with the passenger side coil today and that problem will go away as soon as I get the bottom clip installed. The top bump stops I installed allow the spring to move but force it back to the correct location. Gobs of flex without the springs falling out. The limit straps at the center preclude full unloading.

I have more flex than clearance but am happy with the way the rig is working for now. A few little things left for this round.


Barry

[xFallen]

Well, when I posted that, most of the folks were probably still on their way back. It was a long day for them I am sure. Soon I hope. ;)

They were visibly working very nicely. I was impressed. Another good tire candidate.

TJ seems like a great pooch. Very playful and friendly. TJ just has to get Bill to relinquish the wheel now and then. :D

Brian;
What PSI did you run the IROKs at and were they noticeably grippier in certain situations? I'm sure the sidewalls will take some breaking in but was curious.

[Griswold]

Brian;

9 PSI. Stuck to everything that my MTR's have slipped off of for the last two years and the sidewalls are very flexible already. I wadded them up plenty today.
I could probably run them as low as 7 PSI without beadlocks.

Speaking of suspension, the front bushings for the RK rear UCA seemed to hold up Nick. I know this was just one trip, but things are looking up. The old rubber ones wore out just driving down the road. Maybe this combination is the winner. The RK LA suspension worked great.

I did not get to see your rig in action unfortunately. I would expect it would be broken in though now, yeah. ;)


Barry

[tyota]

it just seemed to make everything way more easy. it's nice to have enough flex that all tires stay on the ground all the time.....
next upgrade besides the headlights is hydro assist steering....my steering is horrible:mad:

Did anyone happen to get shots of my son in the jeep when we were doing the obstacles? Sure like to see them if so. :)

Shoot me your email address. My wife got a couple short video clips at the notch.

[LKD TJ]

Thank you everyone for a fun trip. Sorry we didn't get to Predator, I really wanted to give it a try. CD, maybe in a couple months.
It was great to meet a few new people and run a great trail. Hope the pics keep coming, and I will try to get some video posted soon. I haven't looked at it yet but hopefully it turned out alright.
Talk to you all soon.

[Jeeppeepin]

Had an excellent day out there.
Raw deal warmed me up and JD was a whole lot of fun! I have now been up all three notches (the right side I needed a strap:rolleyes: ).
Thanks to Travis for pulling Jeff through. Kind of hard to wheel in no wheel drive.:o
BTW- Do Not Barrel Through Rivers!! Jeeps don't like water :D

I am definately up for Predetor. Let me know!!

(My jeep has forgiven me....:D )

More Pic's please!

[Lifes A Jeep]

Here's a link to my webshots page with more pics. There is only a handful. My passenger took a bunch with his camera and I'm hoping to get my hands on those pics later in the week. I'll post them up when I get them.

I don't have any pics of breakage. Sorry guys.

Jeff, throw money at your Jeep, It'll love you back, I promise...

(The tricky part is knowing how MUCH money to throw, 'cause like some women, if you don't throw enough, it'll just get pissed off ...)

[1eagle]

What a way to start out the year, nice day, fun trail and great people. I had a great time. as always the group was very helpful in helping everyone get through the trail. I personally learned alot. I am still learning what my rig will do. I was pleased with its performance, not bad for being built in the carport and off of the tail gate of my truck. That is Red Neck. Jeff not a problem in helping out, it was my pleasure. It was great to wheel with everybody.
The day ended with a bang also, on the way back I received a phone call from my wife telling me that someone had just did a drive by on our house and shot a single bullet through the front window. She was upset but other wise ok. The cops found the bullet in our hall closet, it just missed our new tv by 10":eek: What a way to start out the year.
Again thanks for the great day.

Nice pictures Roy. I also had a great time wheeling with every one. Wheeling with new faces and jeeps is always great. I have to say I like the way you guys handled the breakage. Great attitudes and trail clean up was impressive. Most people I have wheeled with leave their mess. Hope to see you guys on the trail soon.

You know, I really don't know you that well to say this, but:

Thanks for the compliment on the rig!!

[LKD TJ]

I laughed so hard Rachel asked if I was alright...
At least she will be telling me that the spending is out of hand when in all reality she is hoping that the same money will be thrown at hers.
So far I have noticed that it is completely impossible to keep 1 woman and 2 Jeeps happy :D

[Wildcat455]

Bill, it was nice meeting you and I wanted also say nice rig. Only one that made it up the left at the notch :D

Nice meeting you too Travis, and thanks for the compliment.... Does this mean I get an invite to when you guys run Predator?

[Wildcat455]

Haha...lordy. That one made me laugh out loud.


Barry

Dude, you have no IDEA how many times I went over my reply deleting, rewriting, etc. trying to make sure I didn't offend, I mean, I hardly know the guy and I'm trying to make a slightly off color remark about his wife and his Jeep for the sake of humor and levity (GEEZ, only Bill Mish would do that).

Jeff's not allowed to break next time out so I can get to know him better. He spent so much time wrenching and spotting, I really didn't talk to him much.

And after a break like Jeff had on JD, I go and kick him square in the Jimmy on the board.. :o


So, we running Predator and stuff this weekend, or what?

[LKD TJ]

Nice meeting you too Travis, and thanks for the compliment.... Does this mean I get an invite to when you guys run Predator?

Absolutely, I thought you would be leading it....:D . I am just now starting a little bit of a project on my TJ, and hopefully in a couple weeks I will be up and running. Once that is complete I would love to go and run any of those trails out there with you. I was actually thinking... maybe.... Collateral Damage.

[Wildcat455]

I laughed so hard Rachel asked if I was alright...
At least she will be telling me that the spending is out of hand when in all reality she is hoping that the same money will be thrown at hers.
So far I have noticed that it is completely impossible to keep 1 woman and 2 Jeeps happy :D

:eek: Here we go again.... :rolleyes:

[xFallen]

Dude, you have no IDEA how many times I went over my reply deleting, rewriting, etc. trying to make sure I didn't offend, I mean, I hardly know the guy and I'm trying to make a slightly off color remark about his wife and his Jeep for the sake of humor and levity (GEEZ, only Bill Mish would do that).

Jeff's not allowed to break next time out so I can get to know him better. He spent so much time wrenching and spotting, I really didn't talk to him much.

And after a break like Jeff had on JD, I go and kick him square in the Jimmy on the board.. :o


So, we running Predator and stuff this weekend, or what?

Jeff is a good guy as I am sure you will come to know. :D

As to Predator -- you're on. I am good either day.

But don't forget about me.... I wanna play. Next weekend I am in Congress and I will be on 33's. Don't ask.

Hmm, What's the matter with your wife driving her rig and you riding BIATCH?
(Trust me, I've been there, my wife had a TJ when I was building...)

If you need a hand wrenching, or just a distracting drunk guy hanging out giving you bad advice, let me know...(If you doubt my credentials, ask 1Eagle He'll testify to my certifications as a genuine pain in the Buttocks.)

Pick a trail, I'll lead you, your wife, and a select few others through... otherwise everyone is going to have to pitch in on the Trip Leader's Tequila fund....It gets dark, and I gets thirsty... aww, hell who am I kidding, I'm always thirsty....

You guys know anyone with any kind of deal on a Warn M8000 winch? even if it's used... :rolleyes:

Sweet! Saturday the 7th? Meet at around 8 am at the parking lot?
Anyone else capable is welcome, or do we want to keep it small?

I'll have some Red Line Gear Oil to replace what you gave me on JD.

Rachel, my girlfirend, was the one driving the green TJ that made it up the center line on the first waterfall. I am afraid if she drives my junk she will out wheel me and then I really will never hear the end of it. Truthfully and shamelessly.

I may take you up and on the help wrenching but right now I just have to get the parts ordered and in. Then I need a good machinist to do the comp cut and it shouldn't be too tough after that.

After the project is done then I will buy a handle of tequila and we will go and run JD and Predator and celebrate.

Look forward to seeing you back out there again.

Cool. I will be there. I will PM you my cell number in case we need to exchange details.

My preference would be to keep the run somewhat intimate with rigs that have a reasonable chance of making it through under their own steam. :D Maybe 5-6 somewhat built rigs. We could do it and maybe have time to head over to CD or Anaconda if that were the case.

Maybe we should we start a new thread?

P.S. Rachel could have driven your rig up the center line. :p

Oops, sorry about the marriage assumption. :o
If she out wheels you, she gets the bragging rights, what do you care, especially if you got to build your Jeep and hers?

I think she'll out wheel most of us if you put her in a rig. Most Wimmins will, we think they are just sitting there looking pretty next to us, but they pay attention, follow directions, and are pretty intuitive. Hell, I'd let her drive mine through Predator if I thought she could reach the pedals...:D Of course, you could sit next to her, but I get to spot if she needs it and I need a BIATCH seat, preferrably in the rig just ahead of her. (All these RULES!!)

OR... A simpler solution, you let her drive your rig, I'll let you drive my rig, if she still outwheels you (Ya, right) you got it coming!

[Wildcat455]

Rachel asked who are you riding with?

I've got WIDE seats in my buggy...:D

ya right, I doubt rachel would want to "downgrade" and drive travis's jeep:eek: and on that note! I doubt travis would know what to do with all that power between his legs:eek: :D :D :D :D

now that made myself laugh:D :D

Eloquently put. If she out wheels me then I might just have to sell my Heep and buy a scooter. And no offense taken about the marriage thing, it was insinuated in the previous post and we act like it anyway. :D :D
Yeah, she is a good driver and I have no problem admitting it. I just like being able to go out there and enjoy her company along with all the other friends I have mad e and will make out on the trail.
As I said, I will be done in a couple weeks and I will be up for a run and hopefully we can get a couple of trails in after a quick shakedown.
I am judging out at Put Up or Shut Up this weekend and then the build the following weekend. Hopefully the tires, the wheels, and the hardware will be in so that I can get everything done fairly quickly.

Oh yeah, and thanks for providing a few good laughs tonight!!

It's Nick's fault Travis, he provoked me, I fully intended to leave it alone...:p

I was hoping you came up with something better than that, you let me down:( :D

Yeah just wait until it is unsensored!!

You might want to check your Jeep before you start it tomorrow :cool:

That's what I was wondering too...:D :D :D

[xFallen]

You might want to check your Jeep before you start it tomorrow :cool:

What makes you think it'll start tomorrow? :rolleyes: Is Rachel dragging it around again?

[LKD TJ]

I almost forgot, Nick had to be dragged out with tail tucked by a chick. That is pretty bad isn't it.

[tyota]

What makes you think it'll start tomorrow? :rolleyes: Is Rachel dragging it around again?


now thats funny!
travis needs some help with the witty comebacks, barry I think can provide a few lessons, maybe even some wheeling lessons..Doh! theirs another low blow.....ding ding ding, ref says keep it above the waist....nick says," but I can't see below my waist"....:rolleyes: :D


I don't mind making a fat joke about myself:cool:

I was trying to take the high route but I didn't think you could follow in your little XJ. So if you wanna go low get out the shovel.

[tyota]

atleast I got pulled around by a "real" jeep;)
with a "real" suspension:D


you seen what happens when a rubi kit pulls around another rubi kit, stuff starts to really break:eek: :D

Doh! theirs another one:D

[xFallen]

I almost forgot, Nick had to be dragged out with tail tucked by a chick. That is pretty bad isn't it.


Naw...s'all good. If you're going to be drug around by a chick, may as well be by a looker. ;)

Nick'll still be lucky if his heep starts though...watch for them thar puddles Nick!

I have seen a couple of rigs lose engines to the Agua Fria in that spot actually. Chris from AzBC and some other dude on another evening. Hit the thing just flying and gulped in too much H2O I guess. Serious drag.

Ooooo...now that's gonna leave a mark...;)

I don't mind taken lessons from a good wheeler,

Rachel asked why you broke after the trail and Jeff broke on the trail? Snorkel anyone?

[tyota]

that wasn't a break, more like my engine wanted to take a break from pulling my fat arse around all day, it was up and running no time flat.......

Why you trying to protect him? It was just bad driving. There were 12 other rigs that crossed the river and Nick's dumb *** was the only one that had a problem

[xFallen]

Protect him? Naw...He can protect himself.

My point was more to not wail through there unless your stuff is water tight. Mine sure isn't. I crossed there one time (like this one time, in band camp) when the water was quite a bit higher than it was on Monday (up to the sills on the tub) and my check engine light stayed on for two days.

The other thing I have seen is people stopping and backing up or parking while submerged in the water without vent tubes on their axles, or getting in so deep the tranny and xfer cases are submerged then parking. Not cool. No positive pressure, water comes in. :eek:

I did that to my poor '84 Toyota way back before I knew any better. The axles had caps on the axle vents but no remote vent lines like on a TJ.

[LKD TJ]

Barry, Nick, Bill thanks for keeping me laughing tonight. Hope no one took too much offense and I will talk to you all soon.

You know, I really don't know you that well to say this, but:

Be advised it is at this time completely unclear if you are upgrading a cheap wife or Jeep...

Thanks for the compliment on the rig!!


Bill, It was intended that way!!!! :D :D (I hope my wife doesnt see this)

ROTFLMFAO!!!!! Ijust read through the rest of the posts you guys kill me.

Hopefully my rig is back on the road today!!!

Is anyone going up to Congress to watch Put Up or Shut Up??? Or is it going to be just me and Rachel enjoying it? Have fun and let me in the next time.

[xFallen]

I don't think I have any previous engagements, I'll be their

I thought the rock light workshop was on the 7th...

If you come, you should probably get some tow points set up front and rear. Predator could be somewhat of a challenge on 33s. But maybe not. Dunno. That RK suspension can do amazing things I hear. Kinda like FM.

:D :rolleyes: ;) :D

I can truly testify to Bills certifications, you guys have just seen the outer shell. He is truly a pain in the Buttocks. Now honestly he is a great guy. I could not have completed my jeep without his bad advice. He has to have Fresca with his Tequila.

As to all of the other post, this is what makes club so cool. It is like you are all married:D, never a dull moment.

Travis I will be in Wickenburg this weekend. What time is the comp? I will try and make it out to the comp.

[Wind_Danzer]

I'd be up for Predator if thje rocklight/kill switch workshop is off.

Sounds like overall you all have a great time!!!! :D
