View Full Version : Want your XJ in pictures?!

I thought that would get "some" attention. We are going to be putting on a multimedia slide show Friday night at the program and I need to get some pix during the week to show off our activities.
Also I am covering the event and writing an article for "Four Wheeler" magazine. I got the official letter today.
So...if you are going to be in Moab early (Sunday and Monday) before the event, I need some "models" to pose on Hell's Revenge and also Golden Spike out to the Crack. The most photogenic stuff is Hell's Gate, the two Hot Tubs and Escalator, Golden Crack, Double Whammy, Golden Stairs to name the most popular. It would be nice to get some of the more adventurous to do the other Hot Tub and also Double Whammy.
Anybody interested and going to be in Moab early...then I need to take your pictures. It's really hard during the week's activities to get around to all the hot spots. I figure to get some good shots early and not have to work so hard during the event. If you are interested then I'll be in Slickrock Campground starting Saturday evening the 4th of October. I want to start out bright and early on sunday.
Thanks and I appreciate your help. Danno

Deb & I are planning on being at Slickrock on Sunday evening.

Do you want/need another slide projector? Or reels?

Danno
August 4th, 2003, 21:00
Jeff, I think that Dan Wheeler is bringing a couple to use for the show and I'm bringing mine as a backup. If however, it doesn't work out with him then I'll be asking you to bring yours. Thanks!!

Sean, only if you bring your mama! She's a great lady! Danno

Dan, the Mrs and I will be there Sunday night as well.

Z turn on Moab rim is a good one to.

All those guys getting there by Sunday evening. Well, early XJ's get the worm. :) Danno, since I'll be there from the 29th of September, if you need a moderate truck to fill out your Sunday shoot schedule - RED will be available.

Well, there goes my chance of gettin' some magazine time! ;)

C-Rok, do ya think you could just keep that sweet rig of your's dirty and at the back of the line so that others might have a chance?:D

All kidding aside, if any of you haven't seen C-Rok, it's gotta be the sweetest XJ in existence! I can't wait to see it in person!

Hey Danno, Shari and I will be getting into town Sunday night with OneTon's group, so if you want to get some "color" mixed in with all those red or white rigs, lemme know where the shoot will be on Monday and we'll represent for the YELLOW hue!!!! :D

Can't wait!

From the looks of your guys rigs here, I think I'll be in pretty tight company but I appreciate the compliment just the same.

P.S.
I only wash it about twice a year. It's a beautiful thing this Arizona climate:D .... but rest assured I'll at least roll into Moab with a good shine on.

Very much looking forward to meeting all of you there.

Danno
August 6th, 2003, 11:13
We could do Hell's Revenge in the morning and then do golden spike out to the crack in earlier afternoon. If we husstle it would work. We don't have to take long running HR as we could go staight to Hell's Gate and the Hot Tubs. And then go out to Doublr Whammy and Golden Crack. What you think?

C-ROK
August 6th, 2003, 11:20
Sure.
Which day? Sunday or Monday

August 6th, 2003, 12:01
Yes Danno, I'll be bringing my slide projectors as well as the media equiptment to make this a show to out do any past shows. Good idea to bring yours for back up, you use Kodak machines?

Like Scott Mac mentioned, we'll be in Sunday sometime, the only reason I've kept living this long was the hope to be shot and published, if you wait for me I might put her on her roof for some good action shots, you've got a motor drive on your camera don't you. If not I do and you can use mine. :)

Mike in NJ
August 6th, 2003, 12:01
I figure there'll be plenty of NAXJA's finest and gnarliest available on Monday Danno, so I'll support your efforts on Sunday. (remember: on 32's, I'm still only a poster child for the 'somewhat' modified, to give all of the stock XJ dreamers out there some reasonable hope! :D )

Besides, on Monday, I might be doing some recon on whatever trails I've been assigned (assuming there actually IS a trails list!).

BTW, best place for Kodak slide reels is Meijer's.........$13 each!

I want to leave Slickrock CG at 8:00AM on Monday and try to hit HR, Golden Crack, etc.
I'll go around Sunday with Mike and the guys who are there.
Mike, you know how photogenic "RED: is! 32's no less!

I am planning on being there Saturday, so I would be willing to go out Sunday. Have 32s and locked at both ends. I have ridden Moab on a motorcycle and a mtn bike, but nothing tough in the Jeep so be gentle as you intitiate me.

We should start you out on Hell's Revenge! I led a group from Tenn. to Moab last June. They all had gnarly rigs, most were rock buggies with 44s and were use to mud and rocks. First day out we took them out on HR. Scared the s**t out of them. It really was amusing to my family. of course I remember MY first time out on it. The first hill we came to, my daughter shifted down into 1st and drove up it. They were going: "ah, that girl is not going to make it in a CHEROKEE. Crap, she did it.!"

Hey, I just had a flashback of the 98 Moab trip that kicked off this whole NAXJA thing........some sand dunes were jumped in one shiny new 98 XJ.........HEY, where did all this wind noise come from?....and why can I see daylight through my doorjamb......Uh oh, how do you get a kink out of the roof of an XJ?:(.........wife's new XJ is driven home to Wash. and shortly thereafter, traded in on a Durango........:bawl:

What'd they give you for the damaged XJ?

XJRubicon
September 13th, 2003, 20:59
well... so far I have had 3 good launches and my XJ is still not showing any of the common signs of damage as my last XJ did. I just came in for a break, I am working on rocker guards/frame sleeve tonight and maybe the rear bumper/reciever if I get nuts.

everything I have done so far is helping out alot!!!

but I really need to cage this beast.

I was the one that didn't tweak my unibody while jumping the dunes.......although I did bury it up to the sliders later on while trying to avoid plowing over Beezil who was playing in traffic.........so how does he repay my gratitude? He posts shot of me in stuck mode...........in retrospect, I should have just given him an undercarriage shot. :D

The bent XJ was one of Glen's NWest friends that we thereafter called Crash.....not to be confused with the Crash we see posting here. I don't think he told the dealer a thing about the body ripple............some poor salesman prolly lost his job over taking it in on trade at full value:twak:

If all goes well I will be there sometime Saturday night or early Sunday, I will be towing my newly designed rig, 97 XJ with all custom suspension coils and long arm front and rear, 39 IROK's 9" rear, Atlas II , and much more. This will be the first trip out of the garage and will be ready for pictures. Check out the progress at www.cherokee4x4.com under projects.

and not get your "A" in a crack like this at Golden Crack:

Ya, so what are we going to do Monday? I doubt 21rd. on Sunday will wear us out. ;)
I'm not too interested in running Hell's Revenge again but CRASH really wants to check it out since this'll be his first trip to Moab.

We could go in the backside, catch the fun stuff and head right back out. Same thing can be done with Golden Spike.



I see night adventure coming on, especially with the full moon.

you have to take Crash in the regular to hit all those steep climbs. scares the crap out of them everytime. We've all done it so many times we have forgotton. My family has run it in an hour and a half. Danno

Doug, too bad the boys can't be with you. It will be good to see you again. I'll be there sunday night. I figure on Monday we can either do a quick Hell's Revenge or maybe Rusty Nail/Spike.

Getting real close now...... :woohoo:
