[ladywolf]

[XJLaredo]

Plans havn't changed. I'm still going.

[CanMan]

[PDeeXJ]

I wanna wheel a Yugo!

[Blkxjkrawler]

Im still in too. Even if I wheel a car, I'm there. :D

I've got a non running, rat infested, 84 suby wagon. I think it would be perfect for tahuya.

Ill wheel it even with the rats in it. Ill have to remember to bring cheese too.

[XJCasper]

As always, work pending, I will be there. I was pissed when they put up the schedule that included today and I had to work, but we have to do what it takes to pay the bills.

[IXNAYXJ]

I wanna wheel a Yugo!I'm sure it would do fine at Tahuya.

If nothing else comes up (a different, more challenging wheeling trip) I'll probably make it.

Yep. Still on. Its in WA, close to Bremerton. Ill give directions and meeting times too in a few days.

[ladywolf]

sounds good. i'm jest makin sure, haveta pick up a bunch of stuff from both avanteone and ecksjay (wheels, tires, lift kit, seats, door motors, locks, etc. . . and whatever else i can shove into the back of the blazer

[XJLaredo]

Do you plan on putting all that on before the 16th?

[ladywolf]

it'll haveta go on after. no way am i gonna drive the blazer to the coast, pick everything up, drive the 5 hours back to eastern Wa, spend 2 days hurridly trying to put everything on, just to drive the jeep back to tahuya. so as of right now, i'm hoping someone will have an open seat for me to ride in, and i'll park the blazer

[XJLaredo]

On the runs i've been to, most poeple are runnin solo. So it shouldn't be a problem.

You planing on staying the night at Camp Spillman also?

[CanMan]

Know how to drive a stick Kris?

[ladywolf]

Know how to drive a stick Kris?


yep i learned on a 47 willys. the subie i just got rid of is a stick.

yea, i planned on it. anything i need to bring? i already have army sleeping stuff, works pretty good for cold weather, and my columbia outerwear stuff.

[CanMan]

I don't think you'll need anything else. Maybe some frosty ones though. :)

[ladywolf]

I don't think you'll need anything else. Maybe some frosty ones though. :)


lol already planned on that.

[IXNAYXJ]

Hell, just wheel the Blazer. Is it a K5 or S-10 Blazer? Either one would do fine, really.

-----Matt-----

[ladywolf]

its a fullsize (K-5), and unlike u guys, i still have a 5 hour trek across the mnts. plus the tires on the blazer are getting worn...damn i dont wanna pay for new rubber for that thing yet.

I will think about it tho.

[IXNAYXJ]

Cody and I led a K5 through there once with no problem...except his frame wasn't fully attached to the rest of his truck:

[ladywolf]

[kaetraux]

ill be there, i dont think i'll be camping, as im about 20 minutes away and it will be cold

[GreenbeltXJ]

he did lose a side window too, but he shouldn't have followed us through those tree's :)

[PDeeXJ]

Are campfires allowed?

[CanMan]

Are campfires allowed?

Yep, bring some wood if you can.

[XJLaredo]

Got a 12' pallet at work i plan on busting up and bringing.

going to be solo, the little one will be in Disneyland.

[CanMan]

...the little one will be in Disneyland.

I want to go. :(

[XJLaredo]

This thread is now worthless without pics. ejc2424@yahoo.com will do it. :D :D

[ladywolf]

is anybody headin to the campground friday? or is everyone showin up early sat morning? i'll be headin over friday. need to take the blazer in to get tires mounted, etc. . ..

[PDeeXJ]

I was thinking of Cruising up to Tacoma Bremerton Area somewhere on friday in the evening, and spend the night up there. Would rather not drive up WA in the wee hours of the morning. Dunno about camping friday night though. I'll probably park the jeep at a rest stop or something.

You can crash at my place, and not get robbed by weirdos.

[ladywolf]

yea, i know how u feel. i'm spendin friday on the coast anyhow, takin the blazer into J for installation of new wheels, so i need to figure out some sort of game plan. i also dont feel like campin....but i also dont wanna freeze my ass off in the blazer all nite w/ a buttload of parts in the back.

[PDeeXJ]

[XJCasper]

Since the snow run has been cancelled, if I am not scheduled for OT I will be there on Sunday.

[PDeeXJ]

six days.

soo excited.

[Dvipercop]

Grrrrrrr!!! I hate working weekends! I wanna go up there and camp with ya'll. Better take lots 'o' pics.

[GreenbeltXJ]

has anybody else heard anything about possible snow on saturday? my source isn't completely reliable. snow, rain, whatever, im going.

[IXNAYXJ]

When is everyone planning on showing up on Saturday? Looks like I'll have to leave early on Saturday and miss camping, as well as Sunday. Just seeing if it would be worth going out there at all...I mean more worth it than normal. :rolleyes:

-----Matt-----

[ladywolf]

i dunno...i need to get word back from my friends on lewis if i can stay with them, otherwise i might get all my stuff and cut and run back to eastern WA. i want to go wheeling, but am short on cash for hotels and stuff.

[CanMan]

Directions for those who dont know where it is at, can find them in this post.

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showpost.php?p=932197&postcount=1

I plan to be there around noonish on Saturday, set up camp, and wheel around 1300hrs or so.

I have an extra tent if anyone needs one. If you are coming from afar, you can bunk up with Brian in the 5th wheel friday night. Saturday night will be at Camp Spillman still. Sunday wheelin we'll start probably whenever we all get up, so at 1000 or 1100hrs. Bring warm clothes, it will be cold. And bring firewood if you can.

[PDeeXJ]

Just seeing if it would be worth going out there at all...I mean more worth it than normal.

I'll be there, Matt! Your brethren from down south! :wierd:

Cool. Didnt know there was a clean up. I would have planned to come earlier, if I known. By any chance, could we use the wood you guys clear for fire wood?


/How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood? :D

Sweet. :D

I got this shirt with a bunch of Chuck Norris stuff on it. Definitly have to wear it next time wheelin, you'd get a kick out of some of them.

[CanMan]

Here are a few pics. Ran it Saturday night, and a bit Sunday afternoon, but Brian was having tranny problems. A little too much water in it. Sunk it at mud lake. :D

Then Brian sunk it. Oops! A quick tug, and he was free.

Shortly afterwards, Brians tranny was slipping badly, due to all the water in it, so we called it a day. Had fun guys!

[PDeeXJ]

Just made it home. Fun times!

It was definately worth the trip. I learned alot, and had a fun time.

Tranny did really well the whole drive home. Will change all fluids when i return from Cali in a few weeks.

I wouldn't wait a few weeks to change all the fluids!!! Do it NOW!!

Those of you who still like the water need to make sure that EVERYTHING is sealed up well. Tranny, Transfer case, axles, etc should all have breathers that are well sealed and up high. Plus all the electrical plugs should be protected.

I hope you all had a good time, looks like it was wet;)

Michael

[PDeeXJ]

Eh, everything was sealed up for the most part. But I know, I know. Still some effed up stuff, but it runs. I leave tomorrow early but I'll try to get to the oil and tranny at least.

[adamusmc2002]

Here's a couple of Matt, that I took as we finally ran into each other, early afternoon at mud lake.

[ladywolf]

[adamusmc2002]

Here's a good and funny video of us extracting a tree from one of the trails at Tahuya.

I couldn't hear anything over the winch and the motor, so I was straining to hear what they were saying, little did i know they were making jokes :) Good stuff, felt good to get it out of the way, if we hadn't, we wouldn't of stayed. Hope you enjoy the video.

Hay now, I had damage, just not that big.:greensmok

I got it at the area with 4 paths up a hill, an the far left side where you go between 2 stumps with magor ruts in between them. came close to breaking out the quarter glass.

Was lots of fun.

Jamezzzzzz body damage. 'Bout time. :D


This quote includes the first thing that popped in my head.

SO...

Considering his line of employement, Will he fix, or will he be able to let it go?
I think the pressure will get to James and he will fix it. Prove me wrong.

Considering we are talking Tehuya, is he losing his touch? Getting lazy?

Darn, Edit screen doesn't include the fun smilies.

Jason

[XJLaredo]

Lets get that driveway queen of yours out on that same spot and see what happens:laugh3:

I'll fix it by kicking it out with my foot from the inside.

And with the new damage, its still prettier looking than some others.:D

[XJourney]

James and I are in the same field. And I will guarantee he will NOT fix it. He knows how much worh it would take to fix that quarter. Right James.

[XJLaredo]

James and I are in the same field. And I will guarantee he will NOT fix it. He knows how much worh it would take to fix that quarter. Right James.

Damn right Hans, 4 bodylines within 8 inches, that quarter panel is probably never getting completely fixed.

Like your sig says(if its true) Chicks dig body damage:greensmok

[GreenbeltXJ]

Hold on, let me get her....


:D :D
