No big deal to me man! Just another great option for the MWC to take advantage of. You're not giving me a wedgie over it.

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

sounds so good but already have plans to hit Harlan... might be able to change some minds though

[FlexdXJ]

Harlan is Awesome and All but I like shooting too. I will be back for the Crawl though.

[99SJ_Ex]

14 hr drive... Nah, I don't think I can pull it... maybe next summer...

[cabjeepster]

Well stacey and are in. We talked it over last night and said hell ya. We will be camping this time. Save me alittle money.

Make sure the truck is in the right gear so you aren't Stuck at exit 9 again. :D

I'm already signed up for the pig gig, I'm the guy bringing pistol ammo. There's a few K of reloads in the basement already.

Good, How long did you have to wait?

[cabjeepster]

Not much longer after you left. Brad just pull started me. It started in less than 5 feet.

[XJRN]

I would love to come, but it makes me nervous wheeling this far away without a tow rig.

[Spawn 93]

Just looked it up, and its a 5 hour drive for me. Not too shabby considering this will be my first outing with the MWC! I actually probably should be in the MWC, but I joined when I lived in Knoxville.
Pending discussion with the wife, we should be arriving late Thursday night, camping and wheeling Friday and Saturday, maybe a last minute ride on Sunday morning, then back on the highway.
BTW, I will be trailering for this event!!!!

What happened to the Whambulance?

I'm curious now, what happend with the truck?

[IllianaXJ]

I did it for a long time. Hardest part is not letting peer pressure to do an obstacle get to you :D

I drove my 91 XJ to Tellico and back, wheeling Livingston, KY and Slade, KY along the way.

[FlexdXJ]

I drove mine and its nothing special. Did fantastic the whole time. The hottest it got climbing the mountain was 224. Just make sure everything is in good shape. You'll have fun even riding the main trails and watching Brian and Craig.

[FlexdXJ]

I'm curious now, what happend with the truck?

It won't start when its hot. He killed it at a light and Brad had to unhook his trailer and pull Craig to DQ.

[87manche]

I'm curious now, what happend with the truck?

High pressure oil pump, same thing happened to Josh's 250 on the way back from Moab. Doesn't get enough oil pressure for the ECM to fuel the motor unless it's cold oil

Yes, I drove my junk all over the east coast. If you go just have one mantra
"I have to drive it back"
I bypassed a good number of obstacles in Tellico, not because I didn't think we could do them, but because I thought they'd risk drive train damage too much.
"I have to drive it back"

You can still go and have a good time, wheel the easy stuff and watch on the hard. The MJ did drive there and back for 4 years, and the first trip out after trailering it I hosed up way more stuff than I ever broke when I drove it to the trails, simply because I didn't care. Exercise some caution and you'll make it no problem.

[HaleYes]

Don't be scared to drive it. I done it several times as well. Like Byron said, just don't let peer pressure get the best of you..........and if it does, just be cautious and remember that you're driving it home. Don't let that stop you from going though. It's been done alot of times with success.

[hanaxj87]

I'm in.... If the work schedule premits. I'm actually on vacation the 6th -10th. Going to try to get it switched.

Brian ,are you planning on arriving on thursday the 9-2 and leaving on sunday the 5th??

Looks like Patty will not make this trip..So,I plan on camping too.

That is my friends. I hate mooching off him too much. He uses it for his business (he's a mechanic) so I always feel obligated to pay him for anything he helps me with.

Looks like I screwed up big time on this one, UOFL's opening game is on the fourth.......

So there are two options, we pick another date or I wheel on Friday only..........

[FlexdXJ]

Yeah because thats as important as wheeling! :rolleyes: :D

[HaleYes]

Oh, I gotcha.........I think I'd feel the same way.
I thought it was yours.

[BRIANHO13]

Yeah because thats as important as wheeling! :rolleyes: :D

If it wasn't a home game and I didn't have season tix it wouldn't be as important.......

[Spawn 93]

Well........ I am still flexible on the date! Just let me know!!

[Spawn 93]

Do you mean U of L??? Football??? took me a sec to realize that might be the Cards! :puke:
BTW, GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fullsizexj]

Although I just found out he bought a zj trail rig today so if I can talk him into going and it is at least street legal. We could just tow the one home thats not broke as long as we don't break both of them.

[clayttrwku]

You going to change the date then or what B Ho?

If you follow hobag through lions den or upper damnation you'll break them. Then again if you drive it there you will look at them and not even attempt it!

Just my two cents, pick another date... I like thursday 9-9 to sunday 9-12 since I'm on vacation.:)

Nick

[Fullsizexj]

So, did this just get dropped or are you trying to come up with a new date ????

[BRIANHO13]

Think I am going to push it back two weeks.......New thread to follow soon.
