WrenchFest April 10th and 11th in Weare, NH

[lobsterdmb]

So I was thinking we should have a jeep work party at my house on either Sat April 10th (we couldn't start until about 2pm due to me working the overnight on friday night but could go as late as we want) or Sunday Aprill 11th (starting in the morning) or both. I am still having issues getting my jeep running so I could use a hand. If others have projects, we can get on them too. I have a nice dry garage for us to work in with a welder, air compressor, and a full compliment on tools. If we did both days, people could crash at my place and we could start up in the am. I can provide some burgers and dogs for whoever shows up. Post up if you are interested.

I'm down... would prefer Sunday, means it won't conflict if I need to hit the junkyard. I'll show up either way though!

What needs doing on the Jeep?

I can bring tools+parts for electrical issues, plus brake tools and all the regular stuff.

Might have to help a member in DWE do some moving on that weekend, otherwise I'd be willing to lend a hand with your Jeep and if anyone else needs to do stuff. My Jeep could use a few things but nothing really, so I'm going to ignore it :laugh3:

[lobsterdmb]

I need to get my black jeep running (I still am having issues with it) and I would like to get the front end stripped out of the blue jeep.

Whoever else has stuff to get done, bring it on!

[ROBZ95Xj]

ill be there sat to help with whatever

[mini=man]

I can(try to) be there around 6-6:30 on Sat. I need to do some bump stopping f/r and maybe a trim on my front fenders.

[foxwar71]

Can I just show up, drive around for an hour out back, then we fix whatever is broken? :dunno:

You need a whole hour?:eyes:

[lobsterdmb]

You need a whole hour?:eyes:

I was thinking the exact same thing...

[Hackmeister]

You need a whole hour?:eyes:

well that hour will include dragging it back to the garage while on its roof / side / no wheels / etc

[foxwar71]

i at least wanted to have a little funtime before i broke it. ill just aim for the tree on the left of buggy rocks or ill go say hi to that tree that eat my hatch :D

[nhrocker]

I should be able to make it. I'll be jotting it on the calendar as soon as I get home.

If you want to wheel a little that would be fine as long as my backyard is not too muddy (since it is the only way to access the woods and I don't want it torn up). There are some downed trees out there that need to be cleaned up.

I can bring you some 31's:laugh3: Maybe some of us sitting around can do some trail clean up and get the fallen stuff out of the way.

I'll probably still have my chainsaw in the toolbox on the MJ, I'm generally far too lazy to put it back in storage so it just lives there now. That thing works way better now that I've broken it in a little bit, performed flawlessly at the trailcut last weekend.

[themangeraaad]

I would love to show up but I think I may be out wheeling (with the dirtbike). Plus my XJ shouldn't make the drive at this point since I haven't broken the gears in yet. If there is a next time I will def be there! :D

[nhrocker]

So why shouldn't it make the drive? Sounds like a good excuse to brake them in to me...

I finished braking in my gears driving to NACFest years ago.

excuses, excuses. you can do 500 miles to break in gears in NO time if you actually... try!

[themangeraaad]

Well, before I break in gears I have to do steering and brakes. That's my problem right now. As soon as I get that stuff taken care of it should be no more than a couple weeks tops and that's if I only drive to/from work.

[Begster]

Sorry Johnny, I Begleyed my Jeep so I need to fix that first. Otherwise I would definitely come up and help you get yours going.

Damn!! I was just about to PM you to ask if you could bring all my crap on Saturday, and I was gonna bring yer tirez... get your brakes taken care of Friday night??

[Dundy]

i don't think you read his sig Travis...

[5spd_xj]

[foxwar71]

Travis, see below

[lobsterdmb]

For those who are coming:

We will get things going around 2:30pm on Saturday and 10am on sunday. I will have food if we get hungry. It will be BYOB if you want some for when we are done wrenching (or getting frustrated). If anyone plans on coming and needs the address or directions again, send me a pm.

[ROBZ95Xj]

im gonna bail out on this, gonna spend the day getting the 95 running and getiin the motor for the 98 ready to go in

[kastein]

I'll be there, but I have to leave around 2... family wants to do stuff

[nhrocker]

Been making some good progress on both of Lobster's rigs. Although the 96 still isn't running. Hoping some more people stop by today. Great weather for working on rigs!

[kastein]

did you guys get the 96 running? If so what did it end up being?

Let me know if you need me to look stuff up in my 96 FSM.

[lobsterdmb]

It's alive.... thanks for coming up and helping. We also got the 87 further stripped down.

[kastein]

What ended up fixing it? I'm very curious :read:

Also, while staring at my pile of junk last night I realized why the RENIX CPS sensor test procedure is the way it is. Only two wires are actually connected on the RENIX CPS connector, the third position on the connector is unused. So I don't think the RENIX CPS test procedure crosses over to the OBD-I/OBD-II CPS, though I'm not sure. I'll have to look in the 96 FSM when I get home.

[masswrecker]

Pirate has the renix manual on its site if anyone ever needs it I printed it off at work

[nhrocker]

What ended up fixing it?I fixed it, that's what... :laugh3:

He wasn't even in the garage when I got it going either, so I got to hear it run before he did. :D

[lobsterdmb]

It was a "wiring" issue...
