Who is planning on attending?

[Ghost]

I am! Lookin forward to another arrrrgh award!

[woody]

I dunno... it's so far away, the hills are too steep, it costs $5 per day, I am allergic to muddy rocks, my Jeep is too nice to destroy.

[Ghost]

my Jeep is too nice to destroy.

WAAAA HAAAAAA! Good ONE! I have that same problem! By the way what is up with the trail tank? Can I help? PM me!

[2offroad]

Me Me Me Me Me.

also Woody the same thing Ghost said.

[mattk]

Need to work some things out with work schedule but I have every intention of being there. BTW, I have a friend who lives up there, he says the trails have been wimpified a bit and the price has gone up to $10 a day.
mattk

[Kudzu]

Price went back down April 1st to $5 and trails have actually not been worked on this year at all...They did work on Lower 2 but as far as I know nothing else has been touched...the last 2 times we were there we rode evrything but 7,8 and 9...There is talk of working on the obstacles before guradrail but don't know when that will happen adn before the end of the year there are suppose to build the bridges...

[NCSUcherokee]

i will be there...

[Safari Ary]

I'll be down :D

[a-mechanic]

i'll be there.

[Ghost]

i'll be there.
I'll try not to put you to work this year Andy! I think I owe you some beverages! Any prefrance?

[Danno]

looks like I won't be able to be there. That's the only week I could get scheduled for summer vacation that the whole family could fit in. They all voted to go to Moab for the week. Damn, don't cha just hate it! :dunno: But I will miss wheeling with you all.
I do have to make some arrangements while in Moab for the Fall Fling and it's much easier to do it in person.

[Ghost]

looks like I won't be able to be there.

Now that jsut sucks Danno! I was looking forward to watching you winch some more rigs out of the way! LOL!

[Kudzu]

Well Danno I hate that you guys will miss it...

Kevin, Lugnut and I will be there...

Kevin's Brother and firends that rode the ATVs last year plan on coming also...

Hopefully Kevin will have my rig ready...

[Carpenter]

I plan on being there one way or another. Let me know what I can do to help.

[35xj]

:wave1: me

[2offroad]

someone needs to call Georgia Mike and tell him that he and Wendy need to come up for the meal sat, so we can see them.

[Fore Wheeler]

well, put this dan in the same boat as danno, we're doing NACfest this year, the dates land too close together and times are tough right now, with rolling the Jeep at Winterfest (add repairs to the tally) and cost of fuel all added in it'll be impossable to make it. I've never ran Paragon either so that's the determining factor as to what trip to make this summer, plus it's closer.

Have fun, be safe, someone else can clean up on the awards this year. LOL

[Ghost]

Last time I was in Hotlanta I had dinner with them. Boy was that fun! They got to see two wild kids! THe twinns were there! He said that he would try and come. Wendy still has her XJ and boy is it sweet!

[ILLXJ]

I hope to be there with the wife & kids. This will be Her first wheeling trip, since she wouldn't take the kids out of school for Moab. It should be interesting. JIM.

[yellowxj]

we got a slew of Florida xj's heading up...my xj, my wifes trail xj, and my buddy freds xj will all be heading up on the same trailer...my friend chris will be towing his xj up there with a rv for his first time riding in the mountains, and my friend hugh should be driving his up too...thats 5 that should be arriving all at once from Florida...probably rolling into crawfords on the evening of the 8th.

Any other florida xj's want to join the slow rolling convoy from Ocala...the chevy pull truck and rv towing an xj will probably only hit 65 mph the whole way up...

and michelle says give up already on the raffle goodies...she's feeling lucky

[tnxjjeeper]

Hopefully I will be coming and bringing a few XJ's with me. This will probably be my first trip to Tellico, so I am hoping for some good pictures of OTHER Jeeps on the "hard stuff."

[mattk]

Yellow XJ, I plan to be getting in on the evening of the 7th. Let me know if your plans change and I'll do likewise.
mattk (Green '97 XJ with the OJC)

[yellowxj]

actually fred will be driving the truck and trailor from florida...I'll be on my way south in the zj from the wifes family reunion in New York....so if theres any one heading south from upstate on the 6th I'll be rolling toward crawfords about then.

[jeepxjga]

i'll be there with the tow rig and orange tractor. shes getting all the kinks worked out, a slew of spare parts and a nice fresh coat of allis chalmers orange next week so she can finally relenquish the appropriate name of creampuff like it is now.

[Kudzu]

Well as usual I will be at Crawfords on the 5th to check out the trail conditions.

[jeepxjga]

cool, i might see if i can take off a day or so early but we'll see. oh tell kevin i got the alt. problem worked out, alls it needed was a alt and bracket from an 89 go figure

[JLane99XJ]

me & jr. will be there.

hopefully by 7:30-8am on thurs,
so we can @ least airdown before we bust-a$$ up trail 4 to catch-up w/ the group..
& oh yeah (2offroad) so i can get some gas from crawford's before hitting the trails.. lol!


Lane

[Ron S]

I'm planning on it but it depends on if I can work the bugs out. I planned on having it done but had to change the rear up a bit so I've fallen behind.
We'll see.
Ron S

[atowley]

I might be there. It all depends on if my Rubicon trip falls through the previous week. Which is looking all the more possible everyday.

[Mark WNC]

Me and Karson for sure, dont know about Crystal and Molly yet.
Cant wait for the break.

[2offroad]

Me and Karson for sure, dont know about Crystal and Molly yet.
Cant wait for the break.
My wife and 2 girls are coming with me, a 9yo and 3yo.

[strokedwoody]

I've been working harder than a one legged man in an azzkicking contest trying to get my heep finished. Holy cow it's had a lot of cash thrown at it. What's done: drivetrain ,suspension,rockrails,main cage hoops,new 38.5 SX's,new AXE2 seats with 5 point harnesses,etc... What's left to be done:finish cage, install new ARB in front end(old one self distructed),install fuel cell, Currie anti-rock,brake lines,finish making belly pans (the whole bottom should be flat and covered) and send to the paint shop.....should be able to get it done...

[MuddinXJ]

well this sounds like fun. i may go to this instead of NACfest but we will just have to see. may go to both. hopefully by the time cherokee crawl comes around i will have my cage in and my 4-link in the rear done. too much to do as of right now. not enough time to do it all

[tjl1388]

I am not a member yet but would love to meet a bunch of you guys and gals.
Let me see how the scheduling goes........

[RockinXJ]

Jim & Bonnie here....just unwrapped XJ for the season and took it up to Uwharrie with the full sizers. That was interesting! lol

We have put the Tellico date on our calendar and are planning on coming. Need to catch up on the forum and see whats been happening. We have been out of touch for while!

anyone looking to sell spare parts or goodies for a 92 XJ email me at rockinxj@aol.com

[motorman]

Well, right now I have a 2wd XJ that won't be ready. If I can ride with some other's...........Mark, is Crystal still a maybe?/Woody?, then I will drive down and ride along.

Let me know if any others have room for a passenger on the trail. I can definitely get myself there just don't have anything to wheel.

[Kudzu]

I am sure we can find a ride for you Keith...

[ladywolf]

hey guys make sure to take pics!!! would love to see 'em....wish i was home then so i could go with yall.


Kris

[Mark WNC]

Motorman,
I'll be riding by myself thursday and friday but may have a rider sat.
But your welcome to hitch along with me if you want.

Ladywolf,
We usually have plenty of pics among all of us with a variety
of trails and obstacles.
Just check the forums after the Crawl.

[woody]

Keith, I'll have a seat for you at the Crawl.

Kris, just get back to CONUS and we'll skool ya on Tellico at the Fall Flog 11/5-7

[motorman]

Well, between Kudzu and her little red headed buddy, Mark, and Woody, it looks like I can get myself out on the trails. Guess I gotta work out how to get myself down there.
Is anyone doing an evening run on Wednesday?
Grant(my son) will be in summer school again so I doubt he will be coming along. Plus since I am bumming rides I guess I will leave Jenny home again this year. Not sure how she and Lugnut would get along anyway?

[Ghost]

I may or may not have a place for you to ride if any of them fall through. If I get proper lighting I was thinking of a night run one night on the easy trails.

[Kudzu]

Yeah I am sure we will do a little night run on Wed...

[ladywolf]

woody if i'm back by then i'm sure i'll need a ride, my jeep wont be ready (parts are across the us at folks' house), jeep will be somewhere in the middle of the ocean? (being shipped back across to the US) and hopefully i'll be signed in, if not, i'll prolly haveta catch the spring stuff!!

Kris

[2offroad]

i'll have open seat one or more days, the wife is going to Harrah's one day of the crawl.

[ladywolf]

kewl....i may end up taking ya up on it......depends on if i even have wheels to get there from ky/tn. might take leave in october and drive the CJ from WA to ft campbell, but it depends on how things go. Might still be in germany trying to clear and all that fun military junk.....the joys the joys....

Kris

[Ghost]

Harrah's? you would have a free seat for her! :eyes: I want tell the bride for a fee! $$$$

[2offroad]

the girls would be in the back so they would tell.

[JasonXJ]

Now that NACFest is over this is the next thing I have to look forward to. ALthough now I have to fix a bunch of stuff I broke:

Side window vent
Exhaust manifold & rest of exhaust
Clutch slave/master
vacuum lines which melted
steering tie rod / other
tail lamps

not too much, but I will probably take it a bit easier this trip so the drive home is a bit easier.

[Mike in NJ]

Now that NACFest is over this is the next thing I have to look forward to. ALthough now I have to fix a bunch of stuff I broke:

I had no idea the list was so extensive!!! You sure kept quiet about it (at least I knew about the window). We gave "Most Thrashed" to Phunkadelic, because a lot of folks broke some stuff, but nobody (until now) really stood out. At least her damage was "unique" :) . Looks like we made an error, you certainly deserved that plaque to ease your pain. :tears:

Take it easy down South, Tellico can sure bite as hard as Paragon.

keith
i'm confused..
wheres the red 98 you drove to the crawl last year??
& whats this talk about a 2wd xj??

you could probly hitch a ride w/ Me & my son (garrett) on Fri but i'm not sure how many trails we'll actually hit on Sat.

it depends on wether or not i get the front locker installed before then as to what trails we will run..

I still have the same '98 red XJ. Problem is that I blew out the front ARB and gears, so right now it only has 2wd and won't be fixed before the Crawl. That is why I am looking to ride along....I won't have a fully functional jeep to drive myself.
You and plenty of others have been kind enough to offer me rides so I plan to be there in my little Honda Civic. And no, I will not try to wheel the Civic. My daughter wants to be able to drive it to school next year.

[JasonXJ]

Anyone coming from Midwest?

Also, I am being forced to go to Mexico for a week, so I dont know if I am going to get everything done on time. Finding that damn vent piece of glass for a 2 door is going to be the determining factor. Or I could just ducttape a piece of plexi back in, and hopefully it makes it 1300 miles of highway driving to and from

[Kudzu]

is that vent that opens up or just the sationary glass...I can possible have one for you once you get down here...

[JasonXJ]

Its the vent portion... i have a glass shop who says they will have it tomorrow, for $110 (doh!) the dealership would have been about $70 but they couldnt guarantee it for a week or so, and I hope to have everything finished by this saturday, so that I dont have to worry about it after i get back from Mexico...

If the shop has the wrong glass tomorrow (which I have a sneaking suspision about) I will get back to you...

[2offroad]

there are 2 types of vent glass one that opens and one that does not. that is what Heather was asking. i have one for the pass. side that opens.

[Kudzu]

and I can get ones that open if they havn't trashed it yet and have the ones that don't in parts jeep

[Kat]

I will be there...driving the XJ (my DD - VA tags - XJ CHIC) stop by and say HIYA- I'll be riding w/ the BF in his 7 - we have a group from savannah that will be there from Monday- Sunday of that week.


:spin1:

[Mike in NJ]

Not trying to gum up your attendance thread, but looking at your discussion with JasonXJ, there is the possibility of misunderstanding.

Just in case, I want to clarify the movable vents that JasonXJ is looking for. NOT the ones on the front door, but the vents in the REAR quarter glass of a two door (they flip open an inch or so). His broken one was on the passenger side, IIRC.

Other than that, hope you all have a blast at Tellico.

Mike in NJ :patriot:

[JasonXJ]

Hey, is anyone bringing a welder, my front right side lower control arm mount seems to have taken a bit more of a beating at Paragon than I noticed before, and I have run out of time to fix it. (Due to GD work trip to Mexico all next week). Weld is cracking... tab is probably bent (i forget what it looked like originally)

[Kudzu]

Can do I can bring one or you can use Steve's Shop...Not sure what the charge theses days is one it and if Dale is there all we need are a couple of batteris he has the rods...LOL..I think I will throw the little Lincon in the burban and bring it along...

Also I will check monday on the window I think the local junk yard had one just in case..

[35xj]

cant wait for the crawl! looks like it may be the last trip for the xj before I yank the drivetrain to start work on the buggy. looking forward to meeting some new people. dave

[2offroad]

i might have a Esab locker by then. i have acquired a set of spider gears so if i have time i'll set them up.

[JasonXJ]

Thankfully I wont need the welder... I got everything finished!!! got a friend to help me out... someone will need it though guanranteed....

Now I only have to resinstall skids, front drive shaft, and hand throttle when I get back... I may even have a vehicle able to tow my Jeep out there!!

[Lee 94XJ]

I'll be there. I'll probably roll in sometime on Thursday. :rof: Can't wait to wheel with everybody again.

[88greenxj]

il be leaving out the 7th for crawfords should be in murphy by 3 am i hope

[dustyredneck]

well most of yaw probably dont now me by name but i drive a yellow xj on 38's and will probably stay at stateline please stop and say hey ill be up friday night (fourwheelparts wont let me off work till friday)
