Monday 5/7

[ROKCRLR]

So, several of us that ran Hackberry this last Monday talked about doing something this coming Monday. So who wants to go, and where would you guys like to run?

I don't particularly care where. We talked about Martinez or maybe the White Tanks. ...

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

Martinez Canyon loop..sounds like fun:D Long drive though for the west siders!

Jason

[John92YJ]

A Monday run sounds good to me

[amber.hodge]

Not sure yet. Just bought the harbor freight air compressor and want to do some wrenching to install it on Monday, but I'm sure we can wait if there is something worth it.

We would be up for either - martinez sounds good or white tanks - martinez is close to daycare and white tanks are close to his dad for visitation drop off....either works for 0800 or 0900 (can we do 0900 and get some rest on the day off????)

[AZG23]

Ill lead the Tanks if you decide on the Wessside....

[Fire Ball]

You can always do what a lot of people do, just take the compressor out of the box and use it on the tires and put it away. This will work fine till it is installed. Kind of a pain but it works. Just be carefull of moving parts under the hood. (Sorry, felt obligated to add that)

That's how I used my checker one. Worked great that way.

I'm thinking the Apache Trail on Monday but will know more after my doc's appointment tomorrow.

[Allen]

I got to work...:(

...got saturday and sunday off!! :cool:

[amber.hodge]

Fireball - We decided to do the carry in case thing...so no wrenching. I'm home sick today with the boy and Ben is broken down in Phoenix. Jeep is idling really low and sputtering...not running right...didn't want to start this morning.....If we get that fixed, we'll go Monday as I'll be on leave.

AZG23 - You meantioned a name of a trail that starts with "tie rod" out by white tanks....we were advised on Monday that we shouldn't go on any trails named after jeep parts until we have armor put on! :)

[jkdup]

So I am new but want to get out. My Unlimited has only done the Firebird out at the Tanks, but I have diff covers, a three inch lift, and 35" tires. But I am so not sure about disconnecting and reconnecting the sway bars and deflating the tires so I would need help, OK maybe a lot of help, so I understand if you don't want me to tag along...but I would like to go especially if you hit the west side. Thanks SaraBeth

[amber.hodge]

JKDUP,
This would only be our fourth run, ourselves. I think it is important to go out with some of the more experienced people from the VJC, as we've learned a TON from them, and have more fun going out with a lead. You are more than welcome! Also, do you have a CB radio yet? We didn't have one on our 1st run, and got one right after. They are really helpful on a trail with other people. I don't know where you would go out there...Out here we went to CB Exchange, 4Wheelers, and bought the radio off of our neighbor who is selling some of them.

Jeep is running fine now. Ben put in 2 bottles of V12 fuel system cleaner on the mechanics from work's advice, and the check engine light is off now. Looks like we are going out on Monday ---

AZG23 - where do you want to go????

[AZG23]

We can do Tax Collector and Firebird....Tie Rod is tame...dont worry...

JKDUP...do you have discos...?

[amber.hodge]

okay, not worried yet. :) Is it about the same difficulty as hackberry?

[dcgayhart]

I would do the Tanks on Monday. I have found Tax collector and Firebird are no problem with 33's.

Danny

[Roughian98TJ]

boooo monday, how about tues?

[ROKCRLR]

It sounds like the White Tanks it is. I'm going to put a cap on this run of 10 rigs. We need to make sure that we get finished early enough for our leader(Brad) to pick up his youngin. Post up if you're going to make it so we know how many will show.

When: Monday 5/7 9am

Hey Danny, I saw you today driving the rig south on Cotton Lane, just north of Bell Rd. coming outta SCG with a kid in the passeger seat. Here is your wave buddy. You wouldn't have recognized me though, I was in a white work truck.

[Lyle Oveson]

09:00
I'll be there at 9:00.

[jkdup]

AZG23 I have no idea what discos are so wouldn't know if I have them or not. Right now it is a stock 4 door Sahara with warn differential skid covers and the lift and tires. I am putting on front and rear warn rock crawler bumpers with a winch sometime next week - the guys at 4wheelers haven't called yet to set up my appointment. But I game for those trails if you all think it can do it - I will look into the CB thing since I don't have one. Anybody care if I bring my dog?

[jkdup]

AZG23 are you talking the sway bars? I have to do them myself...and someone else will have help ;) - still sorta working on the whole mechanics thing -I will pick up a permit and a CB and meet y'all there at 9.

[Roughian98TJ]

I love these guys who tell people who can come and who can't "no no there's already 10 you can't come, I'm going to stop you from going on a public trail." :rolleyes:

We're not going to stop anyone. I'm just trying to keep it to a managable group so we can be out of there by 2.

[Roughian98TJ]

so how are people suppose to take when you I'm going to put a cap on this at 10 people or whatever. if someone needs to scoot then he needs to manage his own time and not rush everyone else good time. just my opinion but who am I.

[ROKCRLR]

They can take it however they'd like. I'm trying to be courteous to the guy who agreed to lead the trip. He needs to be done by 2. I'm doing my best to make that happen.

[Number 7]

Nope.....I-10 west to Watson, exit Watson...airdown is about 1/4 mile North of freeway....where the pavement ends.

Okay, just wanted clarification. Our map doesn't show an exit at Watson. Is that for sure an exit? [Sorry, never been out there!!] :o

Thanks

[ROKCRLR]

Yes, there is an exit for Watson. Hang a right(north) and the pavement ends in less than a mile. We'll be at the end of the pavement.

See ya there!:D

If you have ever led a group of 10, 15, or 20 plus rigs on a trail run you would understand why people will limit runs to no more than 10. Depending on the trail, how the other rigs are equipped, and driving skills of the participants, anything over 10 can be a very, very long day especially when people either get stuck or break something on their rig.

I have led several trail runs and a few of them had 20 + rigs show up. It's no fun especially for the guys in the back that are sitting there idle waiting for 19 or more rigs to do one obstacle.

Now when I see a lot of interest in a particular trail, I will also limit the group to ten. It just makes for a more enjoyable day for everyone.

Exactly....thanks for stating it DesertDawg....Ive ran 20+ rigs...it wasnt fun for me either...and took way too long.

Roughy....if its not suitable to you...dont go...its THAT simple...make and lead your own runs...and you dont have to worry bout it...cool..?

You sure are being whiney.:rolleyes: We were all fine with 10 rigs. As newbies, we have liked being on runs under 10 rigs. Yes, you can do more, I'm sure, but we'd have been out at hackberry last week until well after dark if we had 20+ rigs.:eek: If you don't like how he posted the run up, then don't attend. I believe you can't attend anyway, as you work mondays, right? :rolleyes: Suck it up and move on - and firm up that handshake too, silly!

AZG23 - I forgot that this weekend is drill weekend. Ben will be out of town for the weekend and won't get back until Sunday night late, and will likely be exhausted. He wants to take a rain check on the white tanks this week - maybe next week or the week after. :) And same general idea sounds good as far as time, size, everything for that next time. I'm sorry we can't make it!!! :(

[lancetkenyon]

I might see if I can ditch work for this. Can I pull tailgunner though? And would anyone be up for Intimidater afterwards? And I have "instigsted" a 32 rig run before to these very same trails, it took us 8 hrs!:eek: I have run it with 5 well built rigs in under 1 hour too.

Well, I got tasked out to another office today and didn't have a lunch hour, so couldn't run up to get the permit. We can't do it legally...plus ben's jeep keeps not wanting to start.....he's no mechanic, but he got it running the old fashioned way this morning....disconnected CB from the battery, didn't start....so he took the butt end of a hatchet to the battery a few times and it started just fine...

Any guesses on what the heck is wrong with it?

Anyway, will have to be next time or if jeep is running better, and there is an east valley run, we could probably do that if it started mid morning.

Loosen the clamps (1/2" or 13mm...) then pull the large wires (cables) off the battery, and "clean the posts" of the accumulated lead oxide. Checker has the correct wire-brush post cleaner for this job, but a pocket knife will work, if you are careful, and ONLY scrape off the offending oxidized material, to get a CLEAN contact (both the post AND the cable end portion that mates to the Batt Post...) :D ;)

When it's re-assembled, slather on a thin layer of wheel bearing grease to protect the lead posts from air, which is causing them to oxidize... Will likely need to do this cleaning ritual annually, (more often if the battery starts leaking acid and corrodes the terminals faster...:p )

BTW: TJ's do NOT like low voltage, so it will run crappy when the terminals are dirty also...:) ;)

Good Luck...

Well that's good because I think the needing air and help with the sway bars will all be done by me! But y'all don't worry about too much CB talking I will probably never figure out how to use it. And I am not annoying - there are better words...;)

Apparently there is fluid in the differentials and mine is leaking in the front - taking it in this afternoon to see what the story is...:(

Hey John, to answer your question from earlier. It takes me a little under an hour to get there from the intersection of the US60 and the 101 to the exit for Watson. That's with no traffic. I'm not sure where you're coming from, but hopefully that will give you an idea of how long it takes.

[John92YJ]

Just to be sher, this is in buckeye right?

[John92YJ]

And whats the diff on Intimidator? I would like to run a more challenging trail after.

[AZG23]

yes...its at the south end of the White Tanks...in Buckeye.


Intimidator is a 4.5....but only due to the CAN opener obstacle...otherwise its not too bad and there is an early out before the Can opener if you dont want to do it...

[lancetkenyon]

I will be there. I didn't break anything today, just got a few more "character marks" The Jeep is starting to look like a train hit it.

[John92YJ]

4.5, lance do you think i could make it?

[AZG23]

its only that ONE obstacle....the rest is doable...Lance has pics of the can opener...

and did you get the CB hooked up..??

Dealership - I am so not good with engine mechanic type things. I break it someone else fixes it and then I break it again. It works for me. :D They had to take off the new front diff skid plate and put it back on again - well that is what they said - but it isn't leaking anymore and that is all I care about!

Going to get the CB today at Radio Shack - I haven't used one in ages - I am sure it will be fine.

[lancetkenyon]

John, you should be OK on everything except the last obstacle. I could probably winch you up it, or you could take the early out.

[John92YJ]

I will give it a shot

[jkdup]

where are you taking it...???


and did you get the CB hooked up..??

I got a handheld CB - that should be easy enough for me to figure out - the dash goes so low in the JK it would be in the way underneath and I can't put it on top with the top off. See you guys tomorrow. SB :)

The kids and I will be there @ 9

[lancetkenyon]

We could also run Ruler instead of Intimidator. It starts at the end of Firebird. It is a Locker only trail though, probably wise on 35 or up tires also.

Hi Everyone,

We had a great time today. It was fun to meet some new folks and see you usual suspects. I thought Sara Beth did great and so did her new Jk. I'm actually impressed with the beast.

I posted my pics up to my webshots. Look at them using the slideshow feature in the upper right corner.

Lance, tell Taylor sorry, but the close up I took of her turned out to be only of her legs and the side of your jeep. I think a bug made me flinch!!! :eek:

Later Gators!!

[wannabejeeper]

Brad, were you nice to my customer?:D Looks like you guys had fun. Last time we were out there I tried finding a place to use my sliders and couldn't do it, so I'll have to follow you one of these days!;)

Yeah, but I was telling her slow, slow, slow...:D

She did extremely well when I took her out last time....and she's never crawled before!

[jbjarko]

Yup, she's a damn good driver.

[John92YJ]

I had a good time, except this morning when I saw that someone wanted my CD player more than I did. They cut my wires and took 1 6x9, got to love it when this **** happens

[jim0352]

Another great day on the trail. It was a nice easy run with lots of time to hang out and chat on the trail.


Ready for anything

Hope to see everybody back out on the trails again soon.

[SHNIPE]

That lance guy sure is a poser. Look at all those dents he put in with a BFH!

Looks like you guys had fun. I hate you all :D

By the way. With all the gripes and complaints that people have about trash... why was the car never removed? Firebird i imagine that is since ive never been there. Just cause the trail is named after it doesnt mean it should remain. Trash is trash.

[AZG23]

wow thos rims on that JK are Dope!


dont be jealous that ONE rim is worth more than yer whole junk! :eek: :D :D

[SHNIPE]

dont be jealous that ONE rim is worth more than yer whole junk! :eek: :D :D

hell one black steelie is worth all 4 of our rigs :D

[GLEN REAMS]

dont be jealous that ONE rim is worth more than yer whole junk! :eek: :D :D

haha thats true but i would never get caught dead riding around with thos rims they are just too nice for my style

[AZG23]

just cuz my rig isnt as pretty as a pimped out H2 dont hate

[Number 7]

Haha, you know, they are pretty fancy, but she doesn't mind bashing them up, and quite frankly, I enjoyed riding in her rig with her. I learned a lot about the new body style today. Maybe I wouldn't have picked them out for my Jeep, but they did a great job none the less.

First impression was that it was a big rig to take through there, but on circumspect, ya know, the new ones are not very tippy at all. You don't get that sensation like you're going over. I want to test drive the two door on Woody. Ya think they'll let me? :D

Just sayin',

[ROKCRLR]

I had a great time out there yesterday. It's always fun to meet new members and put a face with the name on here. Looking forward to the next one! Spotting the JK was a lot of fun. That thing is big! She did well in spite of our best efforts.:D

Thanks Brad for leading. That sucks about your driveshaft bro. I thought I was the only one that does that out there.:D I noticed a mark on my rear DS last night right at the U-joint. But it's not vibing so I guess I got lucky. I need to learn to stay off those things.

[AZG23]

yup...mine came from that offshoot boulder field....those rocks were just rolling in the sand....thats what got it...I may just have to pull it for now, I dont have the cash to get a new one...

[jkdup]

just cuz my rig isnt as pretty as a pimped out H2 dont hate

Hey my Beast is not a pimped out H2! It did really awesome out there even though it is a lot wider and hard to see over the hood - and no I am not buying a booster seat for those who are inquring. I had blast!

[jkdup]

I taught her good.:cool:

Yes I had the best teachers!!!! Can't wait to go out again! Thanks guys for all the praise but the Beast practically drives itself ;) . And it is great to have Brian and Josh around to fix what I break! :D

[kjflowers]

...I may just have to pull it for now, I dont have the cash to get a new one...



Umm I don't believe you



anyway My jeep survived and it still drives the same, it vibes and shakes. as long as it makes it to the airport tomorrow at 4 am I am cool with that.

when is the next monday run.

[AZG23]

seriously....


as for more runs...I need more gas money...and cooler temps...maybe a night run...in a couple of weeks...

[John92YJ]

I'm up for another Monday run, maybe at TM.

[ROKCRLR]

yup...mine came from that offshoot boulder field....those rocks were just rolling in the sand....thats what got it...I may just have to pull it for now, I dont have the cash to get a new one...

Precision Drivelines in PHX fixed mine the last 2 times. It cost $65 both times and they turned it around in 24 hours. That was just to straighten and balance it. If it needs to be retubed he told me it's $145. Just an FYI.
