Subject: Re: The Difference between HREW and DOM tubing
Wow! A most excellent explanation of HREW & DOM. Thanks John. That
is a textbook, in about 4-5 paragraphs! I think that perhaps
the "chromoly is lighter" mentality comes from the old paradox:
which is lighter, a pound of feathers, or a pound of lead? The big
deal with chromium-molybdenum steel is, as you stated, the ultimate
tensile strength 80kpsi (I did not verify this number) versus the
1010-1020 steel uts of 40kpsi (this is a WAG, from memory of classes
taken many years ago, correct me if I'm wrong). You're right about
people getting confused and saying chromoly is lighter than steel.
Perhaps a more accurate way to say "chromoly is lighter than regular
steel" (for us confused people), (remember, a pound is a pound) might
be to say "you can get the same structural strength with a smaller
diameter or thinner wall of chromoly than you can with a "lower
grade" (1010, 1018, 1020...) steel, because there is less material,
and therefore weighs less (density being equal, as you stated).
To all you youngsters out there, this old fart is reminded of his
Metallurgy classes and thinks that sometimes, that could have been
the way to go, career wise. This is science! It involves chemistry,
physics, math (yeah, calculus at times), electricity, minerology,
heat and cold, and probably some other cool things I've forgotten.
What a way to make a career, huh? You get to work in a lab, in a
shop, and figure out all kinds of neat things.
What line of work are you in John? Fab? Manufacturing? Testing?
Just curious. It sounds like you know your tube mfg processes &
steels. I'm not in metallurgy, but I work with mostly sheet steel
and angle myself, Mfg Engineering.
Which makes me think of a new subject:
What if the website had a place for Frequently Asked Questions? It
seems like the HREW vs DOM tubing topic comes up every once in a
while. John's explanation below is right on, and worthy of framing
for posterity. Some other topics that come up often
are "shocks"? "tires"? "lift"? "rollcage"? "fun noodles"? "can
I borrow your holesaw"? "BS?(backspacing)" "who has the
banner"? "how much to trim from my TJ fenders to fit 35's"? etc.
Time to go siddown & shuddup. Too bad David's not getting emails to
flame MY off topic! J/K David! :p
C'ya on the trails & remember to Tread Lightly!

Subject: [TR] Crown King from Lake Pleasant - Saturday, August 17, 2002 - Reminder
Hello All,
Jim Florence is leading a Crown King from Lake Pleasant trail run on Saturday, August 17, 2002.
When: Many trip wiil be scheduled
Where: Meet at the end of Castle Hot springs road where it changes to dirt.
Rating: 3.0-
Length: All day
CB Channel: 4
This is the AZVCJ annual anniversary run to Crown King come join the fun. Last year we had about 100 Jeeps go on the trip. I will set things up with Crown King so they are prepared.
Anthony Celaya will be doing Lunch "The final decision for lunch is: (WARM) BBQ beef sandwich , coleslaw, pasta and soda for the price of $5.50. The half price for the collection is now $2.75, the remaining $2.75 will be collected at the register of the Switchback when we eat. I made a mistake by saying the price was $5.00, and I'm sorry for the change, but I promise the $5.50 price will be the set price. so for those who want to participate in this lunch that Camille is putting together for us, all she's asking is for half of the cost per plate, per person so she could begin preparing and getting supplies. I will be taking the collection to Crown King on the 11th of August but will start collecting on the 9th and 10th.
on the 9th, I'll be at the chilies parking lot on the s/e corner of Mill and University from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m..
on the 10th, I'll be on the s/w corner of Thomas and 75th Ave behind Olive Garden (Desert Sky Mall area) at 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m..
if you would like to mail it to me, my address is on the VJC website under members (be sure to write your name and your guest name so I could put you on the list). if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 602-438-0468. TIA
.
Sign up on this run if you plan to attend the AzVJC Anniversary Party in Crown King.
Then sign up on one of the trips to Crown King!
We need several more trip leaders at different times. I need everyone to sign up on this page so we have a count. Each trip leader should post the trip and the time they plan on running it please sign up on this page and the trip leaders page you plan on making. Thanks Hackle.
PLEASE have your State Recreation Permit. I know there are a large number
of AZVJC that already have permits but with the Land Dept "bending to your
requests to reopen STL's early......... please respect that by "wheel'n
legally".
Sandee has State Rec Permits (east valley)
4-Wheeler Supply on 35th street &; Washington
Driven Auto Parts on 35th Avenue, south of Van Buren
State Land Dept. at 1616 W. Adams
Public Lands Information Center at 222 N. Central, Phx
$15.00 per year for an individual (cannot be transfered and is for purchaser
ONLY)
$20.00 per year for a family (IMMEDIATE FAMILY ONLY..... purchaser, spouse &;
minor children)
This allows acces to 9.8 million acres of State Trust Land in
Arizona........ make that 9.7....... there are a few small pieces of STL
closed due to urban sprawl and/or EPA directives.
The Lake Pleasang to Crown King trail is a local favorite. On any given weekend, there will be numerous groups of four wheelers, ATV's and motorcycles heading to and from Crown King. It is a fun and scenic trail into the cooler pines of the Bradshaws. This trail was the first trip ever done by AzVJC.
The trail takes off from the Castle Hotsprings Rd and travels through the foot hills and up the side of the mountain, giving nice views of Lake Pleasant and the Valley. There are some tougher optional sections that can make it interesting.
The trail goes through the old ghost towns of Fort Misery and Oro Belle, both of which are remnants of the Mining era of the Bradshaw Mountains. All that remains now, are foundations and a few crumbling walls. Fort Misery makes a nice place to stop and eat lunch as the small creek usually has running water and there are trees to provide shade.
In the winter months, the trail from Fort Misery through Oro Belle to Crown King will often have snow and/or ice. In the summer, an early start is necessary to stay ahead of the rising temperatures.
Once on top of the mountain, the trail runs through the cool pines and into Crown King. In Crown King there are places to eat and have a drink, and a general store that sells some excellent fudge. The old Crown King Saloon was actually built in Oro Belle, and later hauled up (many years ago) to Crown King and rebuilt. In Oro Belle, the saloon was built into the side of the hill, so the upstairs were mainly accessable from the rear of the building (at ground level). The upstairs served as a place repose for women of ill fame.
There are campgrounds on top of the mountain near Crown King for those wishing to stay overnight. The fastest way down is via the main road which leads through Cleator and toward Bumble Bee. You can split off and go through Cordes Junction, which will get you to the Freeway quicker, or keep going strait and go through the little town of Bumble Bee.
Alternatively, you can take the Senator Highway toward Prescott or Mayer, this can be a very interesting trail during snow season. If you have the time, follow Towers Mountain rd through Crown King and up to the top of Towers Mountain, there are some excellent views and you can join back up with the Senator Highway afterward.
Have fun, remember to bring water and your camera.
Enjoy, and remember to TREAD Lightly!

Anyone know the exact size of the torx-bit for my factory front tow hooks (95 YJ). I have tried my T-60 and T-50 bits, no joy.
I assume a T-55? I have tried looking for this size and cannot find it, if this is the one I need, any suggestions where I can get it?
TIA.

I recently started developing a wobble when I hit a bump in the road. I
thought it was tire balance but after swapping front to rear it still
occurred. I have not change anything in a couple of months so I figure
something is wear out. I this the beginning of "death wobble"? How do I go
about heading it off from being a real problem? I search the archives but
they apparently only go back so far.

Subject: Re: The Difference between HREW and DOM tubing
Wow! A most excellent explanation of HREW & DOM. Thanks John. That
is a textbook, in about 4-5 paragraphs! I think that perhaps
the "chromoly is lighter" mentality comes from the old paradox:
which is lighter, a pound of feathers, or a pound of lead? The big
deal with chromium-molybdenum steel is, as you stated, the ultimate
tensile strength 80kpsi (I did not verify this number) versus the
1010-1020 steel uts of 40kpsi (this is a WAG, from memory of classes
taken many years ago, correct me if I'm wrong). You're right about
people getting confused and saying chromoly is lighter than steel.
Perhaps a more accurate way to say "chromoly is lighter than regular
steel" (for us confused people), (remember, a pound is a pound) might
be to say "you can get the same structural strength with a smaller
diameter or thinner wall of chromoly than you can with a "lower
grade" (1010, 1018, 1020...) steel, because there is less material,
and therefore weighs less (density being equal, as you stated).
To all you youngsters out there, this old fart is reminded of his
Metallurgy classes and thinks that sometimes, that could have been
the way to go, career wise. This is science! It involves chemistry,
physics, math (yeah, calculus at times), electricity, minerology,
heat and cold, and probably some other cool things I've forgotten.
What a way to make a career, huh? You get to work in a lab, in a
shop, and figure out all kinds of neat things.
What line of work are you in John? Fab? Manufacturing? Testing?
Just curious. It sounds like you know your tube mfg processes &
steels. I'm not in metallurgy, but I work with mostly sheet steel
and angle myself, Mfg Engineering.
Which makes me think of a new subject:
What if the website had a place for Frequently Asked Questions? It
seems like the HREW vs DOM tubing topic comes up every once in a
while. John's explanation below is right on, and worthy of framing
for posterity. Some other topics that come up often
are "shocks"? "tires"? "lift"? "rollcage"? "fun noodles"? "can
I borrow your holesaw"? "BS?(backspacing)" "who has the
banner"? "how much to trim from my TJ fenders to fit 35's"? etc.
Time to go siddown & shuddup. Too bad David's not getting emails to
flame MY off topic! J/K David! :p
C'ya on the trails & remember to Tread Lightly!

Hello All,
Jim Florence is leading a Crown King from Lake Pleasant trail run on Saturday, August 17, 2002.
When: Many trip wiil be scheduled
Where: Meet at the end of Castle Hot springs road where it changes to dirt.
Rating: 3.0-
Length: All day
CB Channel: 4
This is the AZVCJ annual anniversary run to Crown King come join the fun. Last year we had about 100 Jeeps go on the trip. I will set things up with Crown King so they are prepared.
Anthony Celaya will be doing Lunch "The final decision for lunch is: (WARM) BBQ beef sandwich , coleslaw, pasta and soda for the price of $5.50. The half price for the collection is now $2.75, the remaining $2.75 will be collected at the register of the Switchback when we eat. I made a mistake by saying the price was $5.00, and I'm sorry for the change, but I promise the $5.50 price will be the set price. so for those who want to participate in this lunch that Camille is putting together for us, all she's asking is for half of the cost per plate, per person so she could begin preparing and getting supplies. I will be taking the collection to Crown King on the 11th of August but will start collecting on the 9th and 10th.
on the 9th, I'll be at the chilies parking lot on the s/e corner of Mill and University from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m..
on the 10th, I'll be on the s/w corner of Thomas and 75th Ave behind Olive Garden (Desert Sky Mall area) at 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m..
if you would like to mail it to me, my address is on the VJC website under members (be sure to write your name and your guest name so I could put you on the list). if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 602-438-0468. TIA
.
Sign up on this run if you plan to attend the AzVJC Anniversary Party in Crown King.
Then sign up on one of the trips to Crown King!
We need several more trip leaders at different times. I need everyone to sign up on this page so we have a count. Each trip leader should post the trip and the time they plan on running it please sign up on this page and the trip leaders page you plan on making. Thanks Hackle.
PLEASE have your State Recreation Permit. I know there are a large number
of AZVJC that already have permits but with the Land Dept "bending to your
requests to reopen STL's early......... please respect that by "wheel'n
legally".
Sandee has State Rec Permits (east valley)

$15.00 per year for an individual (cannot be transfered and is for purchaser

This allows acces to 9.8 million acres of State Trust Land in
Arizona........ make that 9.7....... there are a few small pieces of STL
closed due to urban sprawl and/or EPA directives.
The Lake Pleasang to Crown King trail is a local favorite. On any given weekend, there will be numerous groups of four wheelers, ATV's and motorcycles heading to and from Crown King. It is a fun and scenic trail into the cooler pines of the Bradshaws. This trail was the first trip ever done by AzVJC.
The trail takes off from the Castle Hotsprings Rd and travels through the foot hills and up the side of the mountain, giving nice views of Lake Pleasant and the Valley. There are some tougher optional sections that can make it interesting.
The trail goes through the old ghost towns of Fort Misery and Oro Belle, both of which are remnants of the Mining era of the Bradshaw Mountains. All that remains now, are foundations and a few crumbling walls. Fort Misery makes a nice place to stop and eat lunch as the small creek usually has running water and there are trees to provide shade.
In the winter months, the trail from Fort Misery through Oro Belle to Crown King will often have snow and/or ice. In the summer, an early start is necessary to stay ahead of the rising temperatures.
Once on top of the mountain, the trail runs through the cool pines and into Crown King. In Crown King there are places to eat and have a drink, and a general store that sells some excellent fudge. The old Crown King Saloon was actually built in Oro Belle, and later hauled up (many years ago) to Crown King and rebuilt. In Oro Belle, the saloon was built into the side of the hill, so the upstairs were mainly accessable from the rear of the building (at ground level). The upstairs served as a place repose for women of ill fame.
There are campgrounds on top of the mountain near Crown King for those wishing to stay overnight. The fastest way down is via the main road which leads through Cleator and toward Bumble Bee. You can split off and go through Cordes Junction, which will get you to the Freeway quicker, or keep going strait and go through the little town of Bumble Bee.
Alternatively, you can take the Senator Highway toward Prescott or Mayer, this can be a very interesting trail during snow season. If you have the time, follow Towers Mountain rd through Crown King and up to the top of Towers Mountain, there are some excellent views and you can join back up with the Senator Highway afterward.
Have fun, remember to bring water and your camera.
Enjoy, and remember to TREAD Lightly!

Subject: [az_vjc] Front tow Hooks
Anyone know the exact size of the torx-bit for my factory front tow hooks (95 YJ). I have tried my T-60 and T-50 bits, no joy.
I assume a T-55? I have tried looking for this size and cannot find it, if this is the one I need, any suggestions where I can get it?
TIA.

1st step: install leaf springs. LOL!!
But seriously, alignment, tire pressure, lug nuts, ball joint play in
steering knuckle, worn tie rod ends... all things to check out.

Subject: [az_vjc] Steering Problem
I recently started developing a wobble when I hit a bump in the road. I
thought it was tire balance but after swapping front to rear it still
occurred. I have not change anything in a couple of months so I figure
something is wear out. I this the beginning of "death wobble"? How do I go
about heading it off from being a real problem? I search the archives but
they apparently only go back so far.

Subject: RE: [az_vjc] TAG report
I will confess that I wasnt paying much attention to the tagging discussion this past weekend since I dont work in the valley and my commute is towards CA, rather than into Phoenix&.hence, not much of an opportunity to participate.
However&.wasnt there some discussion about tagging a vehicle in someones garage? That seems pretty cheesy if you ask me. The bad part is that the tag is now out of commission for the remainder of the week (no fun in Whoville) L
I dont know Scott&..to come begging to Donna, and talking her into putting it on the TJ for you&..that sounds like something DavidW would do, not YOU! (I guess we can say stuff like that now cuz he left, right?)
