[Jim 01XJ]

Cool Mike, now some of the guys are meeting at a Burger King up that way. Where should we all meet?

[Mark WNC]

[rjeep]

Is anyone going to Ellijay on Fri night?

[Georgia Mike]

Not me,it's only like an hour drive from my place. 8)

[Jim 01XJ]

Is this the right walmart? I tried to find the walmart on walmart.com and came up with one in east ellijay 88 Highland Crossing
East Ellijay, GA 30539 I am unfarmiliar with the area. I live in Marietta if someone wouldn't mind helping me out.

[atbguy]

Just wondering if anyone was invited to come along to Rich Mtn on the 1st. I've got a '90 XJ, pretty much bone stock with 30x9.50 AT's, but I'm doing some work to it at the moment so not sure it'll even be driveable then... but also I was wondering where rich mtn is and how technical the trails are... thanks in advance!

Justin
'90 XJ

[rjeep]

JUSTIN,
YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME . TRAILS ARE RATED 2-3 PURFECT FOR A STOCKER . IT ABOUT 8 MILES NORTH OF ELLIJAY . ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS COMIMG IS ALSO FROM YOUR AREA. YOU CAN EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE OTHER ?s

[Mark WNC]

The walmart on HYW 5, Theres a burger king at the
end of the walmart parking lot.Just look for the XJ's
and other jeeps.

[Georgia Mike]

I can't wait! Got some semi-used 33X10.50 Swampers the other day. Went by Andy's shop today to get them balanced(I think he's beginning to dread seeing me pull up :lol: ). I just hope all this rain lets up. Last time we were up there it was like a monsoon about halfway through the trail. Fun,fun,fun!! :roll: I hate mud! :roll:

How much lift are you running Mike? Just wondering how you took care of clearance in the front with those tires.

Thanks Mark, I should be able to find it now.

Wal-mart at 9:00. Why are you limited to the rocks? :?: Or is the rest of the trail not hard enough for ya? :wink:

[jeepxjga]

yeah the rest of the trail is fairly easy for me, i think it will be good to test out the front leaf flex though so taht should be interesting, gonna bring the tools definitely to tighten everything up since i just reworked the frontend again. so nobody is meeting in woodstock or anything, i'll be coming from alpharetta/roswell area.

Dude! You're not gonna ride the trail with us? What's up with that? I know the trail is fairly easy,but come on! I wanna see the leaf conversion work! I'd really like to get a good look at it,though. Just to see how it's done. Looks simple enough to do,but you know how that goes :roll: See ya tomorrow! :D

[Georgia Mike]

Oh yeah!! I almost forgot! If ANYONE has an SWR meter,can you please bring it with you tomorrow? Thanks! :D

[jeepxjga]

no no i'll ride the trail with ya'll, i just wanna mess around in the rock quarry at the beginning for a little while, thats a ton of fun, i COULD do that all day, but i wanna ride the trail too, last time i was there i saw a couple cool creek beds that would be fun to play around in also. i'll see ya'll there at 9

[Mark WNC]

Hey Mike , I got the SWR meter.Everybody stop looking!(lol)
See ya there.

[Georgia Mike]

8) COOL! You da Man! 8)

[jeepxjga]

well, as you all know i didn't make it today. on the way there, i was on 575 for about 1 mile and a half and my rear ujoint at the tcase blew up and destroyed the yoke on my driveshaft so i spent all day going to my friends house to borrow his trailer and whatnot to get it back home. so anyone in the area got any spare driveshafts laying around? i just need a stock one, otherwise, it looks like its time to hit up the yards around school and see what i can dig up. hope ya'll had fun and hope to wheel with ya'll sooner or later.

[Carpenter]

I've got a stock shaft from my '93, 5-speed. I will be in Chattanooga next week Monday through Wed. if that's close enough for you to come get it. If you want it it's yours. Just let me know.

[jeepxjga]

sweet, do you think you could maybe measure it for me? just wondering how long it is since the tranny's are different. let me know, thanks man.

I was pretty certain that was you. That sucks dude. What time did you leave cause I came by at like 8:20 and pulled over and didn't see you. It was a good time I will have pictures up in a couple days.

[Georgia Mike]

Well,did everyone else make it home alright? I just rolled in (9:30PM). I had a blast! :D We need to do this again soon. Maybe next time it won't be a big mushy clay pit :x and we'll have an easier time of it :lol: Anyway,hope everyone made it home OK,and we'll see you next time!

[Mark WNC]

Hey,we rolled in about 10:00,we had a great time too.
had two more victims of the winch :lol: ,
got a little more body damage,
right along with a few more people I know of.
cracked left rear signal and got the pasengers rear
fender flare on a good ole tree root,those bushwhacker
flares pop off like a cork popping out of a bottle.
also mashed the disconnect diaphram
on the dana 30 but luckly it stayed engaged.

Rick,You need some sway bar
disconnects something
serious dude. :wink:

[Jim 01XJ]

Hey, I got muddy 8)

[quote:d6fd6d4476="jeepxjga"]sweet, do you think you could maybe measure it for me? just wondering how long it is since the tranny's are different. let me know, thanks man.[/quote:d6fd6d4476]

It's 31" center of u-joint to center of u-joint. I belive it's longer than one for a stock XJ with auto but with that much lift it should work out. I still have the yoke too if you want it, there are no u-joints in anything though. Let me know by tommorow night (Sun.) if you want it so I can throw it in the back of my work truck.

[rjeep]

I DIDNT EVEN GET MUDDY ( NOT )
BUT I DID GET SOME GOOD PICS
AND YES I WAS THE VICTUN OF THE HOOK 3 TIME :oops:
GOODTIMES :D

[rjeep]

MARK,
THANKS THATS ON MY NEXT TO DO LIST :wink:
THIS WAS ALL A TEST
BIG DIFF IN A XJ AND A FSJ :!:

[jeepxjga]

wes, don't worry about it, i got it covered thanks for the offer though, i might pick it up from you some other time if you still got it.
