Butcher Jones: March 1

[YJunk]

Going to do a bunny ROC run out at butcher jones next weekend... I'm fianally gonna have the rig where I can wheel it a little... I'm going to have to be carefull as my drive shafts are the wrong length but I should be okay if I go slow :(

Meet at 9:30 and plan on heading out by 10:00 after sufficient bs'ing and catching up...

[terron gregg]

will be a good close to home run to check for quirks with my new lift as well

[YJunk]

sweet... the rig looks good... a TM or FJ run can't be far off...

[Number 7]

Hey we'll try to make this one in case you guys need to get towed out! =P

Know of somebody else who may be up for a shake down as well, will forward the link. Will keep an eye on this thread.

[terron gregg]

haha not out of butcher jones hopefully that would be pretty embarrassing

[YJunk]

terron you just jinxed us... hopefull G&D have enough straps and gas to tow us both out now...

[Fire Ball]

Butcher jones has claimed many a good vehicle, don't sell it short. :D

[rockfinder]

how do you get to butcher jones?

[brian lujan]

im in, thats the east sides back yard. good fun run.

[Duality]

where is this and how tough is it?

I actually have that day off work.

[terron gregg]

its not bad around saguaro lake area id say like a 1-2.5 maybe if your wife is driving but that is just my opinion

[brian lujan]

its cake, when i 1st got im jeep, thats where i 1st wheeled it that weekend.

[brian lujan]

take the 87 to payson and turn right on to saguaro lake turn off. then turn left on to butcher jones road and go throw the lockable gate. go down and round the 2 mi road and go throw the green gate. THEN HAVE FUN.

[Fire Ball]

There are lots of bumpy roads up to hills that are almost un-climbable in a jeep and everything in between :)

[rockfinder]

thanks for the info I cant make this one but I would like going out to play in that area.

[OlneyJeeps]

If I don't make it, could you get the vin's fron the wrecks out there so can run before extracting?

[YJunk]

Not gonna promise.. this is a fun run and we're gonna be goofing off. I do plan on going back out soon though for a vehicle recon specifically for that purpose and that should be in the next week or two. I know of two more in lower syc that need to be identified as well and I know David C know of at least two more out at Butcher that are waaayayyyy out there (probably a two day extraction).

Once I have the numbers and get the okay, I'll begin to get the guys organized for some bonzai runs to pull em out...

[YJunk]

oh and for the record I will be on my "neerly" best behavior for this run... so if anyone is doing the family thing thats cool...

[brian lujan]

so who is goin to butcher jones and who is goin to upper woodpecker.
im down for whatever.

[David C]

Well, once again, I don't think I can make it. Have fun and be safe. And Robin is still our contact at the Tonto FS.

[TanTJJim]

I'm in, see you guys tomorrow!

[terron gregg]

i was gonna do a upper woodpecker run but will be doing this little run instead so i will see you then

[Digger]

That has got to be the UGLIEST PIG I ever saw, almost makes me want to give up pork chops ! ha ha ha

[TanTJJim]

Cool, see you there Terron. I was thinking too, if you want to hit up something harder afterwards let me know, I've got all weekend off.

I actually do the bookkeeping down there but spent most of the afternoon dinking around with the tranny and crap... benefit of being the office biotch...

[DanFelix]

We plan to be a the Butcher Jones camp ground at 9:30, see you there.
Julia, Dan and Jeep, JDJ

[Xiled1]

Well, the wife and I might meet you guys out there. I'm tentative. Picked up a cold and had to cancel my camping plans, but still want to get out of the house. If I'm not there by 10, don't wait up.

[David C]

Well, every now and then, my constantly-changing work schedule changes to my benefit. I do have a little free time this morning. I can't stay out there long, but I'll see you all at the green gate in Butcher Jones parking lot.:)

[YJunk]

I haven't had to drive that slow in a long time but still had fun... was good to see everyone out there. A definate difference with the atlas there; its nice not to have to stop to engage the four wheel drive, pretty much just shift and go...

the low low is way to low for anything out there (the 3.8 is almost too low for anything out there) but it was cool to try it out...

[terron gregg]

had an intrsting time today other than having to tighten my control arm bots like 3 times and my trac bar bracket would defiantly recommend a long arm kit to anybody that is thinking about it it has stupid amounts of flex

[Number 7]

John, thanks for organizing and driving slow for our benefit. =) We had a good time and it was good to see you. Gosh, what a beautiful day! Way too nice to be inside somewhere!

I started a picture thread
