Noobfest @ Tahuya Oct. 14th and 15th

[CanMan]

What: Fun wheelin, where you fellas who need to advance your skills can do such. Camping and getting to know whos who.

Who: Members or users of NAXJA. If you want to bring a friend and thier rig, post that up also, and you will be responsible for thier actions.

When/Where: October 14th and 15th at Tahuya State Forest, outside of Belfair, both Saturday and Sunday. Take I-5 to Tacoma. Follow signs to Hwy 16 to Bremerton. Once you see Aircraft Carriers and other grey monoliths (you will now be in Bremerton), take Hwy 3 to Belfair. Follow the signs that lead to Tahuya State Forest. For those of you coming on Saturday, I can meet you at Safeway around 1:00pm. For those of you who want to join on Sunday, I can meet you at Safeway around 8:00AM, and leave around 8:30am. Im sure thier are better directions out there, but if anyone wants post up them too.

Plan on camping, if you want. It may be wet and rainy, but thats what tarps are for. Bring your own food and supplies and such too. This is open to Members and users alike.

Post up if you are planning on going, just a simple yay or nay will do. And what days your are coming.

Here are some links pertaining to this run.

[goblazers_6]

[mud1059]

I'm in with the wife and two kids. So long as the wife and I aren't divorced by then. (oh, please oh, please, oh please)

[XJCasper]

WTF? Fighting?

D and I will be there. Boys won't (hopefully)
Definately on Sunday. Probably both. We haven't exactly discussed the camping Sat night.

And Matt, Long story short, to secure out future, and get out of the Casino business, I had to reprioritized and have not trimmed the fenders.

[PornstaR]

Ill be there........... prolly goin out friday night or early sat morning. Im bringin my rig and prolly from 2-3 other XJs. My 4.5in lift should be here tuesday or wednesday so I will be done by then............hehe!!! Oh and donno what kind of broads I will be bringing.

[XJLaredo]

Will be meeting you on sat @ Safeway, with my shadow(Emily).

[IXNAYXJ]

Very likely meeting y'all Saturday.

-----Matt-----

[pSYChedXJ]

Busy Saturday, but Sunday works! :yelclap:

[bass2323]

Maybe for sunday, definet no on saturday, I still got some little things to finish up.

[adamusmc2002]

I'm a possible, if I have my schoolwork done for monday by the start of the weekend. Maybe I'll have my bumpers by then too.

[FiFo]

I'd like to run some trails with some fellow XJers for once so count me in. I'll probably come up Saturday and stay till sunday.

[Dvipercop]

Thought I'd never say this, but I'll actually be in the Seattle area on the 14th. Yeah, weird. :D Anyhow, if I can get the boss to let me have the rest of the day off, I'll be done around 2:30pm. Will ya'll still be wheelin then? If so, I might be able to swing by and make a few runs. Have to be back by Sunday though... :(

Yea, We'll be there. The whole place can be ran in a few hours. Only one trail really, but fun none the less. With a big group, more time obviously. I hope ya can make it Ryan, we'd have a chance to wheel with ya for once. :D

[Dvipercop]

Got that Saturday off! After I'm done with my "bidness" in Seattle around 2pm, I'll drift over towards Tahuya. Is the group going to be on a certain CB channel? Also, I'll have my old man with me. It'll be his first time seeing any kind of 4x4 activities.

[reckless]

Dont any of you run the quad trails? Those are the more challenging trails.

[PornstaR]

Oh that would be no good.................................:twak: Bad monkey no bannana!!!!

[Sniggs]

Dont any of you run the quad trails? Those are the more challenging trails.Please do not ask this group that question again.

Edit: After reading several times, lathering, rinsing and repeating... I've come to the conclusion that you probably weren't really asking us to run our Jeeps on the Quad trails, right?

[Avanteone]

IF I go... i'm actually thinking of leaving the Jeep at home and bringing the quad ;)

Could I ride? :D Iast time I rode a 2 stroke quad, I fried the motor, Broke the skirt off the piston. :gag:

Generally everyone is on Channel 4, I know I turn mine on the moment my XJ leaves the garage; I'll probably be leaving earlier though.

My Banshee is for sand ONLY... If I come, I'll bring the 450R

[Blkxjkrawler]

I am going to try and get the wife and I on either the 10:15, or 11:25 Seattle to Bremerton ferry on saturday AM. if anyone cares to join us I'll have the cb on channel 4. we'll plan on being at the belfair safeway at 1:00. Who else is meeting up there ?

[XJLaredo]

I'll be there by 1:00.

Jamez.

[XJCasper]

My CB is still down. Tore the antenna off at Evans.

[Sniggs]

....and????

[PDeeXJ]

Tentative in.

[Dvipercop]

Assuming I get to Belfair around 2:30-3ish, how easy is it to get to where you guys are going to be? Are the signs pretty good? Or are some lucky guesses needed?

[XJCasper]

....and????

Since you asked, here are the boring details.

Everybody is talking about being on channel 4. My antenna got ripped off at Evans. The Jeep went from first priority, to last. To avoid the deranged comments, YES the Jeep was a priority. But a few things pissed me off and it has been put on the back burner.

So business first, Beyond an overly needed Brake job, fender flair removal and Wash Job, I am done with the Jeep until I get back around to it.

Later

I picked up a magnetic antenna with a 1 ft whip from GIJoes for $25. I had a problem with ripping mine off too. This gets knocked off all the time but it goes right back on. Just run the line out your door weatherstripping temporarily.

[jeepster96]

hey me and my girl will be there on sunday maybe not sure yet

I found a minimum of 17 errors in your first post in this thread alone. Care to correct those too?

[XJCasper]

It is starting to look as if D and I will be coming up on Sunday.

[XJLaredo]

:roflmao: LMAO.
Is this grammar lessons or Who's meeting at noobfest?
Spell it?
Or wheel it?

Who cares. Are you going or not?:dunno:

[XJLaredo]

It is starting to look as if D and I will be coming up on Sunday.

Alright then. Come by my house before then and i'll chop your fenders.:D
Done it before and i'll do it again.

Jamez.

[FiFo]

How many people are planning on camping out Saturday night? I was planning on coming out Saturday, camping out, and then going out Sunday also.

[Sniggs]

I was going to be there both days but it isn't going to happen now.

Jeep is broken - Won't be fixed in time.

[Blkxjkrawler]

Wife and I will be there camping saturday night. which brings up a good point. Do we need to reserve campsites? or are they first come first serve? Arent there a couple of campgrounds there which ones are people staying in?

[CanMan]

I am going to go tomorrow to check it out, scout out camping and the trails, but I don't believe you have to reserve. Ill post up more info tomorrow.

[FiFo]

Thats what I was wondering too. I know there are campgrounds there, I've got friends who have used them. But I'm not sure if there first come first serve, or if you need a pass or what. I'll send I PM to KarlVP, I know he has camped there before, maby he would know.

[IXNAYXJ]

I found a minimum of 17 errors in your first post in this thread alone. Care to correct those too?I'll take care of one for him:Ummm...sorry, hypocrisy is my first language.-----Matt-----

[BPB]

count me in

[FiFo]

It is STATE owned land. Camping can be had anywhere there is room. I reccommend camp spillman if it is open.


So theres the word, Camp anywhere you can find room, no passes required.

[CanMan]

Went to Tahuya today. Just got back. Looks like Camp Spillman is the place to be. Enough room. I may leave friday after work, to get a few spots. Campfires are allowed too.

Bring an air matress or some padding, ground looks hard and somewhat rocky. Trails are about the same as last noobfest, but dry. Easy for a stocker with street tires.

[PDeeXJ]

Psshhh dry, what kinda fun is that?

[XJCasper]

Alright then. Come by my house before then and i'll chop your fenders.:D
Done it before and i'll do it again.

Jamez.

Thanks James, but it isn't just a question of time, its a question of priorities. The Jeeps not the priority anymore. When I do get back to the Jeep, I'll run for some Beer. Just imagine the fun. Drunk people triming fenders.

Jason

[justin H]

i'll try an be there if i can get my lift in on time.

.... justin

[GreenbeltXJ]

are you putting it back in the box?

[vveirdo]

Just moved to Seattle and would like to join in on the fun. I should be able to make it on Sunday.

Just curious if I need any registration or license in WA or would an out of state registration carry over?

[IXNAYXJ]

Just moved to Seattle and would like to join in on the fun. I should be able to make it on Sunday.

Just curious if I need any registration or license in WA or would an out of state registration carry over?Out of state reg. is fine, and the overwhelming likelihood is that nobody will care either way.

Welcome to the NW! Where are you moving from? Any pics of your rig? Hope to see you on Sunday.

-----Matt-----

[Dvipercop]

AS the date gets closer I'm wondering if I'll be able to find the place ok. Once in Belfair, are the signs for Tahuya easy to spot?

[vveirdo]

I'm from Minnesota. The jeep is mostly stock except intake/exhaust and steering. I've only taken it wheelin once @ Spider Lake in MN so I have a lot to learn.

The origional post mentions meeting at the safeway in Belfair at 1:00.

Is everyone planning on meeting at 1:00 or is anyone else thinking of being there a little earlier? I was thinking of heading out of seattle first thing Saturday morning and getting in earlier.

[GI-John]

The Fam Damily is getting stoked. I'll be there a little later in the day Saturday, but there nonetheless.
Who is bringing firewood?
I might have to lay off of the typical fireside whiskey this time...until the little one goes to bed....Matt, will it be Makers, or Bullitt? I'm buyin'

John

[XJCasper]

Will be out Sunday morning. I read somewhere that there would be a morning meet at the Safeway? Can't remember how to get to Tehuya.

[CanMan]

I can meet people at Safeway at 10am and 1pm.
I am going to get there early(7am or so) to get a couple spots, but the area is perty big, so finding space shouldn't be a problem.
Since it has been cold out the mornings of the last week, bring stuff to keep warm. Weather forcasts rain for Sunday, which is when the 'main' run will take place.
I will bring some firewood, but everyone else it welcome to contribute to that.
Bring food too.

People who are coming Sunday, breakfast at Jimmy D's? Everyone camping down for that?
If not, Ill be at Safeway around 8am, And Leaving around 8:30.


Directions for those who come later on in the Day on Saturday.

Take I-5 to(ward) Tacoma, Washington.
Follow signs that lead to SR16.
Follow until you see signs that will lead you towards Belfair.
Once on HWY3, you will know your in Belfair, because there will be a train bridge you drive under saying "Welcome to Belfair".
A half mile more and the town is there.
The Safeway will be on your Right hand side.
Once in town, Take a right at your FIRST stop light, HWY300, which will later turn into NE Shore road.
Go straight throught the 4 way stop sign.
Follow that until you come to Belfair Tahuya RD, Take a right up the hill.
Follow until you see Elfendahl Pass road. Take a right.
Follow signs Ill put up. They will be on paper plates, saying NAXJA NWC RUN.


If anyone gets lost, you can call me on my Cell phone, and I can run back into town to meet. 253-332-3809.

Thanks, and hope to see you all there!

PS. Here is a good map of the place. You can study it, as it leads from Belfair to Camp Spillman. Tuhuya State Forest Map (PDF) (http://visitkitsap.com/pdfs/tahuya_both.pdf).

[IXNAYXJ]

....Matt, will it be Makers, or Bullitt? I'm buyin'Gosh, John...that's mighty nice of ya. Surprise me. :D I'll bring a bottle too...remember the WPPM is coming too....

Looking forward to seeing Lonnie and Rebecca again. And you, I guess. :rolleyes:

-----Matt-----

[Blkxjkrawler]

We will be on the 10:25 Seattle to Bremerton ferry, if I remember correctly that puts us into bremerton at about 11:30. We will plan on being at the safeway around 1. We may just come all the way down to tahuya if we are real early. I seem to remember the bremerton to tahuya drive only being about a half hour. Cb will be on channel 4. Its gonna be nice to meet everyone.

[XJLaredo]

Awsome!

See you tomorrow.


Jamez.

[FiFo]

Just finished putting my front axle back together, took it for a test drive and everything is looking good for tomorrow. Myself and the wife will be heading out of seattle first thing, looking forward to wheeling with you all this weekend.

[XJCasper]

See ya guys Sunday

[Bohican]

If you ever get the chance, a tour of the Distilleries in Kentucky, time it around the Bourbon Festival in Bardstown. You won't be disappointed.;)

[Dvipercop]

I'm done with 'bidness in Seattle at or before 2pm, so I'm hoping to meet ya'll there shortly thereafter. Eli, I got your phone number saved in case I get lost... Just hope there will be reception! :D

[XJCasper]

My cousin forgot to tell me about this one. He is always yacking on about us coming to visit and Derby Month. Yada yada yada...

All he would have had to said is "distillery" and I would have been there. He doesn't even know about the trip I am planning to go visit his father in law to learn how to make some wines.

[ECKSJAY]

He doesn't even know about the trip I am planning to go visit his father in law to learn how to make some wines.

Don't you wine enough as it is? :dunno:

[GI-John]

I'll be headed out a little later than expected due to a last minute Jeep purchase.(campfire story) Hoping to link up with a run for my wife somewhere before dark.
Too much to do, and not enough time.

John

[streetpirate]

if I dont show at safeway by the time you leave, somebody call me 503-209-9003

Just got back from a "situation" at work. (yet another campfire story) Sorry if I disappointed anyone, hopefully I'll be able to make another before Christmas.

If anyone has a phone number for Dvipercop, let me know, I have some rockrails to give him for POSXJ.

John

[streetpirate]

had a great time saturday.

i was really amazed at what a jeep with no flex whatsoever and 30in tires could get through.

now i wish i could have stayed until sunday.

[Dvipercop]

If anyone has a phone number for Dvipercop, let me know, I have some rockrails to give him for POSXJ.

Hey, no biggie. I talked to PoSxJ on my way home and he said there's no hurry. I also talked with Matt and he said he might be able to bring 'em down on his next trip to Portland, for a little "compensation". Which, I hope to god, means beer; but, you never really know... :D

For those that helped me with my own "situation" at Tahuya, I thank you again, and again, and again... I got home, turned off my Jeep, then attempted to turn it back on. Nothing. I decided to peek under the hood once more and found my battery leaking out of it's case onto the ground below. Safe to say that battery is shot. And, as an added bonus; whenever I would turn my headlights on, my stereo would momentarily shut off, then turn itself back on. Any ideas???

P.S. - Sorry for contaminating your state's freeway from Belfair to Vancouver... ;)

[ECKSJAY]

I'll remember to take a dump right in the middle of the trail next time I'm on Firebreak Five. :D:D:D

[reckless]

Did I miss anything last light? My buddy and I got left at the last hill climbs and never made it back to camp. Anyone heading out to Tahuya today, and if so, what time? Streetpirate, what rid were you driving?

[reckless]

Any one heading out there today?

so where's all the noobies?

[Blkxjkrawler]

I realized while going through my pics that I really hadnt taken any of them, Sorry guys. They were there, and put on some great driving shows of their own.

[GreenbeltXJ]

here's a good pic of your rig, and another after you got hung up.

[Sniggs]

Great pics. So did the stock rigs (besides that pickup) run in another group? Who led that stock group?

Were there any there?

[CanMan]

Great pics.

I have to agree.

So did the stock rigs (besides that pickup) run in another group?

Nope, I don't think that one was even stock. Could be wrong.

Who led that stock group?

Me on Saturday and Sunday, but not really a 'stock' group.

Were there any there?

Reckless's friend, and Ben.

[mojojojo]

Reckless's friend, and Ben.

Ahhh, a true noob "fest" lmao.

[GreenbeltXJ]

[Sniggs]

Mine will be fixed soon. I guess I'm taking the Mustang to the Beach this weekend.

[dellstopjeep]

looks like all the noobs are from the portland area yes.

[Blkxjkrawler]

I'm glad to see some one got pics bigpimpinben puttin on a clinic

[XJCasper]

Felt pretty crappy here, so the camerra never made it out of the Jeep. Even though I wasn't supposed to drive, Danielle didn't want to.

Did everyone take off before the Sami started playing in the rocks? Fun to watch.

Since it is late and I am bored:
On the way home, I think it was Port Orchard? We pulled in behind a State Patrol car heading towards Tacoma. I think the exit he got off at was for Purdy. There had been a Red Mitsu Glant (the crappy OZ version) on my ars. As soon as the Stater pulled off, he zipped around, and then slowed down. Took off, zipped through a few cars here and there and slowed back down to block up traffic. The guy was being a Sh!T. Seemed as he was trying to pick a fight/race with a passenger and three kids in the back seat. I like driving fast in the GLH, so I usually pay no attention to fast drivers. BUT, this guy was trying to push a fight. So we called the State Patrol. Told them what was going on and where I was (the exit where I lost sight of him) and an officer called me back asking for further details. By the time we get off the phone I am well through Tacoma on I-5. Danielle and I are thinking the call is worthless, but the guys driving was SO irritating. As we are driving through Yelm the officer calls me again to say that the driver was found and appropriate actions were taken. We could not believe they jumped on this and were able to find the driver in that time. We talked for a few minutes and I felt extremely weird as the officer was thanking me for calling the issue in.

Anyway,

Later
Jason

[Sniggs]

There's mustard on my shoe.

[ECKSJAY]

Glad to hear you uhhh, had a good time?

ZzzzZZZzzzzzZzzZZzzzzz....

[reckless]

So when and where is the next run going to be? Something a jeep with 30's can make it through.

[hysiderafter]

Here's a link to my first attempt with a dv camera, editing and posting on Google. This mostly shows someone I haven't met yet on the rocks with IXNAYXJ spotting for him. There's also a little bit of 12GAXJ hung up on a rock. Quality goes down on Google I would assume due to compression. If the person in the video is interested and has a fast connection I can email a larger file if you pm me. I'll try to edit some more and post it soon. Anyone know of another free hosting service that's better than Google?

Nice vid. The white one was FiFo. Looks like my front locker was working too. Didn't feel like it was. But its time for some taller tires too. You can host in on www.youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com) and www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com). Thanks for the vid. :thumbup:

[XJCasper]

So, FiFo had the squealing belt?

Ok, Good to meet ya, kinda, didn't really.

Something else to bring up about a short conversation on Sunday morning.
Got pulled over tonight on Pacific Ave in Tacoma by a Stater. He gave me a warning for my License plate light being out (which it was not, checked it when I got home). And told me I had to get mudflaps. Didn't say anything about the fender trim.

Later
Jason

[FiFo]

Ya, my belt squealed most of the day after running through the puddle at the mud pit. It went away eventually, but it was really getting on my nerves for awhile

Nice video, though those rocks looked a lot bigger from inside the rig. :)

[IXNAYXJ]

Me, posing. Hard to believe, I know....

Wedging the Jeep so I could winch Eli off the rocks. The ACR tie-rod, diff skid and winch earned their keep here:

[GreenbeltXJ]

I like that, "The hard spot"

[mud1059]

Ya sorry everyone...especially Cody. I was really going to make it there to Tahuya this weekend, then priorities came up and I was really going to make it to help out Cody. Then I really had to get Josh's Chevy out of my driveway to get there and crap....there went my entire day. I guess if one injector is bad on a Duramax they're all bad and it takes a week to get crap fixed under warranty. Go figure.

[hysiderafter]

Here's another video clip showing how to get an XJ unstuck from the rocks at Tahuya.
