Oct. 20th Sat Night Run!!!

[ademster]

I am having some family over for my Son's 1st Birthday

My brother had asked me to take him out on run Sat Night the 20th. probably meet at airdown by 6:30pm leave for trail no later then 7pm

We will need a Trail Leader as I don't know exactly how to get to some of them.

Anyone is welcome to come and join us... I would like to keep this run to a 10-15 rigs tops considering it is a night run.

I think min requirements would be 3 inch lift( unless you dont mind scraping )
32's bare min. Recovery gear, tow points, and not mind a few scratches or body damage as anything is possible.

I would recommend having a 3 inch lift, 33's at least one traction device, but I am not going to say you can't go... but I dont recommend any stock vehicles, unless you dont mind body damage, and lots of scraping.

We are going to do upper woodpecker and lower ajax meet at cottonwood rd. air down off of 79
Hopefully we can do these runs in good time, and have a excellent time doing them.. I am eager to hit these two trails, as I have never done them and want to get them loaded in the gps.

Who is going to lead? I think Allen had mentions he can lead these two trails.

Bill

[CaptainMorgan]

Don't take my post to seriously, however I was thinking of coming to the valley for some wheelin that weekend. If I do, count me in.

[Allen]

If I'm not working that weekend you can count me in! I'll know by next week! Woodpeckers would be fun!

[My Green Jeep]

Depending on what doc says and also...

isnt that the same say as Table Mesa Cleanup :confused:

Will let you know Adam!!!

[xjstocker]

if i go i can lead upper woody. planning to do the table mesa clean up. might try to nap and then run out there what is the time frame for the start?

[easy_rdr]

[ademster]

I updated first ost to show who is coimming asnd tenatives.

[Fire Ball]

Man I would love to but that is the TM cleanup day plus I don't think my rig will be fixed yet :(

[ademster]

who cares Bill... hit up table mesa for a little bit, then come over for some night wheeling.



We'll get you a drive shaft....

[Fire Ball]

Not like I haven't done it before :D Your not shopping isn some parking lot are you :)

[xjstocker]

Not like I haven't done it before :D Your not shopping isn some parking lot are you :)

does it matter? no vjc sticker fair game, right? j/k :D in all honesty call phx rack and axle talk to bernie he can hook ya up. cost me 90 ea to have my two retubed and balanced. good luck thinking of doing the same

[ademster]

Not like I haven't done it before :D Your not shopping isn some parking lot are you :)


maybe:cool:

[sunroom2004]

I'd like to go if I get out of my neighbor's b-day party...put me down as tentative.

I voted for Upper Woody, but Lower Ajax would be fun to run again.

[My Green Jeep]

:::sigh:::

Check out this link Adam...

[1BLKJP]

Adam, I fixed your poll to show Upper Woodpecker.

[Allen]

Yay! I got the day off! You can move me to the confirmed!!

I will be there!

[ademster]

Adam, I fixed your poll to show Upper Woodpecker.
:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Hey thanks, I didn't bother pm'ing you about it as I didn't think anyone would be able too....

But thank You I appreciate it.:D

[GRUNT]

Adam, put me as tentative. I am doing some mods and need a shake down run... If it gets tough for me I can bow out and wait for you on the way back out. I like to wheel and have scratches but I am not looking to bend metal yet. Gonna get some rocker guards soon. Allen leaves his sitting in the Wally lot, maybe I'll borrow his... :D Damn, he will be there won't he...? J/K Allen!!! :D

Bill, what kind of rear end do you have? I have some stock 30/35 shafts, carriers, etc. I am going to post them for sale but I do not have a sponsor account yet...

[ademster]

Allen, These trails shouldn't give you to much of a problem...


At least from what I understand...

[Allen]

I've been over them all!! Done all but Upper Ajax solo:eek:

[terron gregg]

we ever figure out where were going

[ademster]

Not not yet....

I was waiting until we get a little closer... just so who ever wanted to vote had a chance.


I will end the poll sometime next week.

[ademster]

from the looks of it.. we will be doing upper Woody

and sense these two trails are close together, we can also do lower Ajax?

[Fire Ball]

You can't even find woody :D






Oh wait, neither can I :(

[ademster]

LOL>... thats why I put We will need a leader for most of the trails....


BUt I do have the exact cords for upper woody now so I might be able to find it this time.

[Allen]

I have lead these trails!! I got GPS tracks for all of FJ!

Sounds like a perfect trip! In Cottonwood, up Woody, down Ajax! Plenty of other spots if we get done too quick!

[ademster]

remember this is a night run

[UGROWUP]

Hey Guys, I have never been out to FJ and would like to jump in on this. Can you throw me in as a Maybe for the time being? I would rell like to get out on something harder the Bucher Jones for a change. :)

[ademster]

consider it done bud. hope to see you come out.

[CaptainMorgan]

As of right now I am planning on making it with Raul. Not sure if my Jeep will be ready, I need to replace the unit bearings first and they are expensive. I just got some rock lights and I cant wait to use 'em. Add 350cj5 to the list too.

[Fire Ball]

Unit brg from 4wheelers very reasonable. PM me ..

[GRUNT]

What are the numbers for Upper Woody and Lower Ajax?(rating)

[GRUNT]

I am just checking to make sure my Cutlass Cierra can make it. I am aware I may need to use one or two bypasses though...:D

[ademster]

lol... i believe they are 3.0-3.5

I never ran these trails. I willing to bet you would have no problems with your cutlass...

[Allen]

I am just checking to make sure my Cutlass Cierra can make it. I am aware I may need to use one or two bypasses though...:D

we took a stock KJ up woody. If ya get passed the firehole you gona be fine!!!!

[daniel]

This leaves me 18 days too put in shafts motor mount and a frame repair kit. ill probably show as well!

yoo if glen is down ill try to make it:D I just need to get a new upper controle arm mount on and make sure i can find a sitter for rylie. Or glen can i ride with you if my jeep dont feel up to it?

[ademster]

Anyone else want to come on this run?


still some room left.

[GRUNT]

Daniel, 4wheelers has those braces... AZDesertgirl has to go by and get one too. If TanTJJim makes it we can be there to ensure your new bracket holds, we got your last one unstuck for you! Try to get your stuff fixed man so you can go!

[ademster]

Speaking of Jim... where has he been? havent seen him since the Ladies RUn in Sedona?

[GRUNT]

Jim, you still here? I hope he didn't get deployed! I'll send him a PM to see if he is coming.

[ademster]

Deployed... I didn;t know he was enlisted?

all I knew he was/is a mechanic

[Cronoh]

I would like to come, but i'm not sure I'd make it through everything! I'm new, so not looking to do something super challenging and slow everyone down lol. Im on:

'97 TJ
3" suspension lift
33" muds
ford 8.8 with posi in rear
have winch on front, and high lift jack.

I just put on 4 rock lights and they look good on the street but I want to see them in action! ;p Like I said, I really don't want to slow you guys down though, I get embarrased when everyones waiting for me! lol :)

[GRUNT]

Hey Cronoh, do you have a pic of your rock lights? How did they turn out? What did you use? Adam sayd we can make it... I am not looking to tear up my rig either.

[Cronoh]

Well, I was a total beginner when I first started and actually burned some circuits or something haha. Tom had to help me rewire them. But he showed me a lot of things and I understand it all really well. I'll take a picture of them after work today, nothing complex. I still need to add two more to the rear. I did go wheeling with them doing 40+ on dirt roads though and none of them were hit with rocks, so the locations of the first four seems to be great so far. I'll get some pics later today after work!

[ademster]

your welcome to come.... we'lkl help you learn...

[daniel]

im out for any runs for a bit :( I have 2 jeep payments to make untill i sell one

[Cronoh]

Hey Cronoh, do you have a pic of your rock lights? How did they turn out? What did you use? Adam sayd we can make it... I am not looking to tear up my rig either.

Heres some pictures I took tonight, sorry they are TERRIBLE quality, I don't have a digital camera with me, so I had to use my cell phone :)

I used the cheap $15 lights from WalMart. In the future, I might replace them, btu they work really good for how cheap theyw ere. $15 a pair, and then about $3 for 10ft of 16 gauge wire, along with another $3 for 10ft of 12 gauge wire. I think $2 for a box of butt connectors, and thats about all it took (already had a relay). Once i figured out how to do it all (Thanks Tom!) adding the two in the front only took about 30 minutes (After also rewiring the other two to have some slack in the wires). To add two more in the rear however, I will need to upgrade wire or add another relay. Not sure yet ;) Let me know what you think :D

Heres the first 3, with the lights turned on (Pics just in driveway, the lights arent quite as bright as they appear in the pictures, I don't think.)

http://www.enmity.ws/RockLights1.jpg
http://www.enmity.ws/RockLights2.jpg
http://www.enmity.ws/RockLights3.jpg

Then, here are where I placed them. The first picture shows the ones for the middle, I put them in some random hole I found, as you can see under the body right near the front door. This hole was hard to access though, and I will consider moving these lights in the future.
http://www.enmity.ws/RockLights4.jpg

The lights for the front are mounted on the small metal flap that is the barrier for the front side of the tire-wells. It works really well, they are tucked away nicely, and much out of harms way. Sorry for the pictures, my phone dosn't handle darkness very well at all. That plus an almost dead maglite = no help :)
http://www.enmity.ws/RockLights5.jpg

[Fire Ball]

I think 1/2 the people on here are running the Wally lights :)

[Cronoh]

hard to beat for the price/convenience.

[ademster]

not to mention they are very bright for the price... i hve had mine up against the rocks.. and they havent busted...


just just suck down a lot of amps... but thats what relays are for.. and a 130amp alt.


but i have a el cheapo interstate battery... I just bought a red top... but just my luck... My wife's car battery died, so she got the new red top... instead of mt jeep..
Next month I will buy another Red top and also buy a Yellow top then build my custome two battery tray.

[GRUNT]

Cronoh, your lights looks great to me! Nice work. I just realized I only have two lights so I need to get two more and another relay/switch. Thanks for sharing!

[Cronoh]

I would suggest putting them all on one switch, otherwise your going to have a ton of switches :p Because, I have 4, but I want 6 at least, possibly 8, then i can see everything under there :p 8 might be overkill though...

Holy sheet those look bright! Hey if you go more than 4 let me know, there is a type of relay that has 2 DC+ outs instead of just the one. It would be really easy to add another wire to the block and safer than adding more to the existing power wire. BTW you left some tools in my garage. Bring more beer if you want them back.

[Cronoh]

ahahah, you can keep em :p Yeah, I wasn't planning on putting any more lights on that wire, unless I went down to like 8 gauge or something super fat. But I can just get a different relay that i can run 2x 12 gauges off of? Hook me up with some info on it and ill check it out :)

[GRUNT]

....BTW you left some tools in my garage. Bring more beer if you want them back.

Evil, but hilarious! Poor, poor Cronoh... :eek:

[hockeydawg]

If there's still room, you can put me down as a definite maybe. I need to knock some of the dust off the beast and put some new dust on it. And btw, I've done both upper and lower woodpecker back when it was a stocker. It's all about being creative and having good spotters.:D

[terron gregg]

shouldnt number ten wire work

[Cronoh]

Actually I think you are right. Heres the logic:
6x 55 watt lights = 330 watts = 27.5 Amps.

10 Gauge Wire rating = 55 Amps

When loomed, and sitting next to many other wires, we must account for heat however, which stu-offroad estimates lowering the constant duty limit of 10 Gauge wire to: 33 Amps.

So, I guess it would actually work, just running 10 gauge :) Correct me if I missed something or have some wrong logic in here.

[Chuck Boyd]

Anyone else want to come on this run?


still some room left.

put me down:D

chuck

[ademster]

your in... see ya Sat. night at 6:30 at the cottonwood airdown.

[CaptainMorgan]

I got my rock lights installed and working well for the run, hopefully they are enough, I think so.

[kemolewis]

Here is the skinny on Jim, his computer took a dump and he has not been able to check any of the posts in about 3 weeks I called him to see if he wanted to head out with me through box canyon on sunday so my boy can get some time behind the wheel. Oh and put me in as a definated maybe for this run just depends on if I get my tires by then

[SteveB05]

I might be in for this run. Depends on if I break it too badly in Squeeze tomorrow :)

[Allen]

Here is the skinny on Jim, his computer took a dump and he has not been able to check any of the posts in about 3 weeks

Yeah..... my internets been down about a week! Lots of posts to read!

[terron gregg]

[kemolewis]

Yeah but slicks are good for the straight track not so good on the rocks

[ademster]

hey terron yeah we can meet on the 60... what freeway entrance do you use to get on the 60? we can meet there...

[terron gregg]

i live off of dobson and southern by mcc we could meet in the parking lot of mcc

[sunroom2004]

I won't be able to make this run.

[terron gregg]

i hear you ive had some tire probs the last month as well if youd call it that

Yeah but slicks are good for the straight track not so good on the rocks

[ademster]

I dont know where that is but I know of the Dobson Exit... I can meet you there somewhere... what is MCC?

[Cronoh]

Do you have an estimate of when we would be finished? Do you guys usually just drive home after? Or how do you do the night runs? Cause I also wanted to go to the sycamore run the next morning :)

[ademster]

It depends... but We should be done with in 5 hours considering what breaks, and what not... if you need to bug out early you can just do Upper Woodpecker... while we head out to Ajax mine.

[Allen]

Ajax @ nite:eek:

I'm skeerd:rolleyes:

[Cronoh]

Mark me down as tentative! :)

[PaintersAtv]

Count me in see ya @ 6:30 P.M.

[terron gregg]

if your going east on the 60 go left of the exit ramp off once your on dobson to the left is banner hospital on the right there is a huge parking lot that is MCC mesa community college
I dont know where that is but I know of the Dobson Exit... I can meet you there somewhere... what is MCC?

[ademster]

okay meet you there

[Bill Ritter]

I'm out,going to the TM cleanup.

Bill

[Fire Ball]

I'm doing TM too but it is scheduled to be over by like 12:30 or 100pm. If I get back in time and get my rig squared away,I'm going. Depends on what time I get back friday night. I usually end up getting home really late. :(

[ademster]

Sounds good guys... Sorry Bill R that you wont be there... had a great time wheeling with you last time.



And you mister fireball... hope to see you come out... if I dont get this Co2 regulator squared away... I wont have air for the drive home hahah.... no one has what I need in stock... not even the manufacture could send me one!

[terron gregg]

how far away are we going just out of curiosity somebody walked off with my compressor and i dont have another to replace yet is there a gas station close well before the freeway
so i could air up

[ademster]

I will have Co2 no worries Terron

[TRLR8TDTJ]

Looks like there will ba a lot of people on this run. I will be last minute decision I have kid duty during the day.

Kyle

[ademster]

Should be a good time... Hopefully..

[Texas]

I'm in.

[TanTJJim]

I'm a definite if there's still room on this run.

[CaptainMorgan]

Terron and Ademster, I think it would be good if Raul and I met with you guys and rode out with you two. What time are you guys meeting there? MCC is right by our houses in Tempe. Plus I have never wheeled FJ...Raul and I used to wheel and hunt rabbits up and down the washes behind what is now the Peralta Trails housing development:( That is as well as we know the area...I think I have seen the flagpole before though.

[Texas]

Might be out - my wife is having contractions! Our first baby!

Good thing I have the trusty TJ to get us to the hospital!

[xjstocker]

Might be out - my wife is having contractions! Our first baby!

I would love to join you guys, but I'll be working. Not much chance of having a Saturday off now that I'm back to being a full-time chauffeur. I'm gonna lead the Sunday trip to Sycamore though. Have fun, be safe - Ajax at night?:eek:

[ademster]

See ya all tomorrow at 6:30 air down on Cottonwood.

Adam

[terron gregg]

adam what time do you want to meet me i dont know how long it takes to get there but you have my number if im not back from the clean up my girlfreind will know what your talking about

[hockeydawg]

Damn, I'm gonna have to bail out. Just picked up my latest project and I need to get it ready to pass smog. Plus, the boss decided I need to help her parents rip up carpet and paint all day Saturday. Wish I could make it.

[ademster]

Meet at MCC at 5:30

[Allen]

All packed ready to go! See you guys there!:cool:

[kemolewis]

I am out, no tires, rear end whinning and cluncking, steering clunking when I turn right, front diff leaking, and a general all around loseness of the whole front end. All of this and I have only ran Box Canyon recently. I may be down for a while depending on what she looks like when I crawl underneath

[Fire Ball]

Sounds like my rig every day :D

[GRUNT]

Adam, can't make it.
1. Didn't get my jeep back together in time
2. Boss is running late and I am babysitting
Sorry man, was looking forward to going... :(

[Fire Ball]

Fine, we'll be there :)

[ademster]

im out the door running late// I will be there soon

[Allen]

What a great time! 9 jeeps and a toyota pickup showed! We ran Lower and Upper Woodpecker and made it thru without any major problems!

we got to the big rocks at the begining of Upper Woody and someone pretzeled their tie-rod! Meanwhile at the back sombody slashed open both his driver side tires in two places! Sombody kept loosing their passenger spring and once I heard someone say they had stopped to put their muffler in the back...... but considering the trail and the darkness it was far less than what could have happened!

Let me know when you guys want to do Ajax at nite!

[TanTJJim]

Just got in, great run tonight. Always good to see familiar faces and meet a couple new ones. I was the one who taco'd my tie rod, big thanks to Bill for lending me his, I had a spare but it was a little beat up too so we decided to use his. I definitely have to put that trail on one of my top favs.

[ademster]

I made it home safely...


I am the one who slashed both tires, side walls double punctures. I wish I had my spare tires hahaha


I also am the one who had the exhaust bust again...

and also lost the front left Locking hub.

I did drive though, my brother drove the trails, and had a blast..


Everyone post up pictures.

[kemolewis]

As soon as Allen said that someone bent their tie rod I knew exactly who it was. Jim you definately need a bigger rod

[SHNIPE]

sure seems to be a bumper humping epidemic going around.

Glad you guys made it out without spending the rest of the day there

[RokNRich]

Just got in, great run tonight. Always good to see familiar faces and meet a couple new ones.

Didn't you just taco one last week ?
:cool:
Get a Currie, it should work for ya, check with 4Wheelers on the price.

Nice pic's, sounds like fun.

[Fire Ball]

Wow that was actually a fun run. I'm the one who lost my front spring ( TWICE!) Call me fat bob :D

We also tore our top on the window rock going into upper woody. The picture of Tim's rod is after it was straightened quite a bit. :D

The day got a little long after doing the TM clean up and having to drive all the way from out here. Sorry if I got a little testy on the way back Allen, just didn't want the group to get separated in an area no one knew :)

Well I gotta do some real work on the rig. Transfer skid is really twisted, and I need to start putting on some replacement parts but I'm up for another run soon .

[PaintersAtv]

Nice run guys and girls, was our first trip out with the AZVJC, would definitely go again with the crew. Steve your a mad man in that Taco, Allen thanks for the trail lead and the taste of the Baja 1000 down Cottonwood road!

You need to go on a run with US sometime!;)

[PaintersAtv]

Foe shizzle:D

You need to go on a run with US sometime!;)

his jeep is too nice for you. Itll make yours look even worse :D i drolled on his jeep a few times when it was at TruckWerks.

The tie rod that folded up on me last night is the same one I bent last week. I guess when you bend it once it's not a good idea to try and straighten it and re-use it. I'm pretty sure I didn't catch it on anything, I think it got bent last night just from the stress of trying to turn the wheel when a tire was against something. Eh, live and learn, I'm still a little new at this. Something stronger will definitely be in the works soon.

Just got home at 3pm today and passed out 'till now. I didn't make it back as early as I planned but it was 100% worth it. I had a great time meeting all of you guys, most of you I haven't met before, some I have.

Raul and I had never been out to the trails in FJ, let alone at night so we were a little more cautious than some in the group. Maybe it was the darkness, lack of experience or the 200 mile drive home that was at the root of it...maybe all three. I felt like by the end of the trail I was more ready for obstacles I had bypassed earlier. Next time I will hit more adventurous lines. Last time I wheeled I broke my front axle so I guess that was still in my memory too.

Raul had a little trouble with a leaky rear main and couldn't get it into 4low until he got up on the rock at the Firehole...then he found out his hub hadn't been engaged properly...after the firehole his 4low worked fine and he got out or 3 wheel drive and into 4...after that he had a lot less trouble.

It was his first trip with azvjc and it wont be his last.

Thanks Adam for setting it up, Allen for leading and everyone else for making it a good time.

Here's a few of my Pics...most of them didn't come out. I saw like half dozen scorpions and didn't get one pic...Oh well, always next time.
