Sometime after the pig gig. A guy and his dad who live down the street want to take their rigs out. I figure Badlands would be good for them because redbird will tear them up because they have never wheeled. My roommate should have new tires soon too so maybe the ZJ can hit badlands for the first time.

I was kinda thinking after the pig gig it gives enough time to plan and fix random problems that will probably pop up

Mac, if you are going Sept 11th, I could probably be persuaded to go. Anyone else with some lesser-built rigs (than Mac's) wanna go?
If some of you guys are making a weekend out of it (either date) I'd probably bring a tent and stick around Saturday night for some festivities.

When the boss wants you to work on a weekend, he usually asks you at the end of the day on Friday right? So all you gotta do (it's alright I got it) is skip out a couple hours early Friday afternoon, go home and turn off the answering machine, and you should be home free.

IndyORV will be there that weekend too(Sept 10-12), Fri-Sun. Mostly TJs on 35"-37" a YJ buggy, and probably a couple XJs, few guys from out of state. Last time we came out they pushed pretty hard, lots of junk that needed fixed when everyone got home. We'll be camping out at Summer Lake, 'bout 10-15 min north of Attica, great camp site, not a lot of dust, lots of trees, and you don't have to wake up to the sound of ATVs blasting through the camp grounds. We are a good bunch of guys if you don't mind a lot of d*ck and fart jokes.:laugh:

Not sure of any WJs we have running with us, I know there is a guy with a ZJ, but I haven't gotten to wheel with him yet.
Are Jeremy, Brian and Robert in this group?
No one has started saying wether they are going yet or not, but unless something comes up, I'd imagine Robert and Jeremy will probably go, I don't get to talk to Brian outside of when he's out on the trails, Jeremy is about the only one out of our group that talks to him that I know of.

The Jeep and trailer have been sitting out at the storage lot for about 2 months now (ready to go... I guess). Since I last parked it, I have been a little burnt out, and it's been nice not to worry about it for a while.
But now we're a couple days out and I'm getting excited... I think a weekend with the MWC crew will get me motivated to start wrenching on it again. :D
I wasn't sure that I was going to camp Saturday night, but I decided that I better not pass it up. Going to call tomorrow and reserve a camping spot. We should have 4 people, 2 Jeeps and a turkey fryer.
I don't know how long we'll stick around on Sunday, but seeing the KOH qualifier is pretty tempting.

Whoops, I misread their website. So it looks like both TREC and KOH are on Saturday then? Does it all happen after the park closes?

Kind of last minute, BOB, but Neal said he is going and he'll have the turkey fryer ready to go. Not sure if you have time or if you wanted to get a bird or not. I have tomorrow afternoon off so I can grab one pretty easy.
Getting excited... hopefully the Jeep still starts.

we left the campground around 6pm.
too many rain showers and it was getting cool.
ir rained on and off all the way home, so, I guess it was the right decision.
Camping last night wasn't bad at all.
that was the most people I've ever seen in the campground!
it was good to see a few of you guys.
great Jeepin day today.

I was quite surprised of the number of XJs and ZJs that were racing up there. I was quite shocked when there was like a minute and a half of silence, no trucks going through the bowl, then you hear something loud and high in the RPMs coming from a distance, when out of nowhere the minigyver takes a leap of fate down into the bowl, soars through the air, slams the ground and bursts into a smoke cloud from the busted oil pan that the front diff had just hammered into, not only that, but that he still attempted to drive it up the hill and out of the bowl, needless to say, it didnt make it

Great time!
Bob it only rained for about 20 minutes and was clear the rest of the night you should've stayed for the campfire!
Minigyver is a zj that a buddy of mine built to trec race. The joke is that he looks like he could be my brother so we run with it and he had a sticker made for his jeep. Ill post the link to the jump of the video when I can I know at least one person got it on video.
The minigyvr zj with trashed motor from the jump actually drove out of the sand bowl under its own power to the trailer. Oh and grace was riding with him too! She had a blast!
I also wheeled all day Friday with a naxja kat named racecar...he also bought lesslimited old xj...we ripped the exhaust off on it on pink trail...ill post pics later.
Had a goodtime wheelin with john bjorn too, 96classic his ls1 is sweet in the xj...and his ultimate adventure stories make me very jealous...
Bob, craig, chaz, go slow get silly was good to hang with you guys too!

Glad to see he's carrying on the tradition with the old jeep. I ripped the exhaust off the last two times I wheeled it :D

Awesome weekend all around! Got to take a newbie out and scare him a bit by almost flopping the Jeep, got to hang out with the always-great MWC crew, met some new people around the campfire, and got motivated to start working on the Jeep again.
BOB, sorry you and Dawn had to leave early. The turkey was worth staying for. :D We'll make sure to cook another one next time we're all out together.
