Meet/greet/ride/camp :yelclap::yelclap:

This is an open ride weekend for the park so we'll pay the normal fee. No renting the park or anything. Plan as of now is to meet up there sometime Sat. whenever you can arrive, camp Sat night....dinner, beverages and tell lies. Then wheel Sun till your done or broken!

Keep in mind it's an open weekend so tell your buddies to come on out.

Who's in???

[Spawn 93]

I will be leaving for Camp Shelby on the 17th and won't make it that weekend.:tear::twak:

If it were the first or second weekend in September, I will be on leave those two weeks!

I might have to organize a ride then.........

[stumpXJ]

That looks way cool.... Only 130 miles from my front door. Count me and my wife in for camping and wheeling.

~James

[redneck]

You can count me in! I have to make up for missing CRAWL. What time are we all planning to be showing up on Sat? Tryin to figure out if I need to leave from work or if I can catch a few hours of sleep before the drive up.

What time you get off? Id say sleep a bit then make a 4hr drive!! They open @ 0800 Sat. so anytime after that. We have all day Sat and Sun!

[256offroad]

ill be getting there around 8:30 sat morning.

edit: i just sent a message to bob (the owner) informing him on our g2g. i am pretty sure they wont have the bathhouse open yet. i know they poured a concrete pad for it... he will lemme know.

ill keep yall updated!

[256offroad]

we need to get the chatt guys to come down! they should have one of the easiest drives! and it is well worth it guys! you wont be let down!

[High2by]

I wouldn't mind trying to make this one myself. Still along ways off though.

[PacificEd]

Don't you mean roughest? I-59 is not smooth at all.

[postalxj]

I'm going to try to make this one!!!!

so far i'm in!!

[256offroad]

yeah 59 is pretty bad... but the "route" is pretty easy... at least with this being far away gives everyone time to plan for it.

[stumpXJ]

I have my crap here now, so I will be bringing a hot shower of my own. Woohoo! No more sleeping in the back of the jeep for me.

Is there any way we can arrive Friday night?

Dave (oldblue), if you make it I owe you a pork chop from the crawl...

[256offroad]

yeah you can prob get there friday night. my buddy and i might get there friday night.... but that is all up in the air right now...


stump gotta get those gears and rear locker so i can see you crawl that thing up rev limiter....

[stumpXJ]

I got the 4:1 Rubi Tcase to try still, but yeah, I need those things too...with a cage of some sort also. In due time I guess.

I'll ride shotgun with you up it though... That way the teal bitch wont get dented.

[ChuckstrPT]

Well, if I can get my axle's out, and new axle's in by then, my gang will be there atleast on Sat. If not, the XJ will be on jack stands in my garage....

Aaron...who needs sleep...based on your arrival time at my garage, you'll be there between 7:30 and 8am...should I pick up some doughnuts for ya?:wave:

[redneck]

Doughnuts and some coffee would be great! Its going to be a long day; Work 1730-0200, the drive up, then go wheelin'. Sounds like a plan! Ill be up there around 0800-0830.

[256offroad]

talked to bob (the owner) the park is in the middle of trying to get bathouse up. he is having troubles with alabama power. there are porta pots though.

rate is $10.00 per day per person over 10. Camping is free.

We swapped my D35 for a 8.25 also!! no more D35 for me!! LOTS of work in a weekend.
Hope to see you @ Mtn Side in 3 weeks

[YJ-GENRAL]

hey anyone going to mountain side that wouldnt mind swinging by cullman AL to pick up a tire for me this weekend? i found a tire i need to buy but its in culman and i cant figure a good way to get it... or who might be coming through/ coming up to chattanooga anytime after this weekend that could get the tire?? eh?

256offroad especially cuz i have family in huntsville that we could go see to exchange the tire :D any help would be much appreciated. let me know. thanks.

[cr2000xj]

Hah yea i need about the same favor but I don't think 256 is going anymore. I need someone to bring me back a tire to huntsville since I am not going to be able to make it. Stump has the tire I need and I just need it to come this way. Anyone that could do that?

[stumpXJ]

Stump is probably not going to mountainside anymore. I have too much crap around here to do. I still have the tire, we will get it to you one way or the other.
