Cleghorn This Saturday - 12/2

[Monkey55]

I'll be running Cleghorn with my brother this Saturday. Everyone is Welcome. (Everyone with a Jeep that is)

Meeting Time - 9:00 am
Place - Cleghorn Entrance off the 15 Freeway.
Difficulty - Easy to Moderately Difficult with MANY bypasses on the fire road. Last time, couple of stock XJ's made most of the run with good spotting.

I'll be taping it for a Jeep Off-Roading DVD that I'm putting together for retail sale. So, if you come and don't want to be taped, just let me know ahead of time.

Thanks,
Elias

[Monkey55]

I'll PM me cell number for those who say that they are going to come..

It's going to be COLD on Sat... brrrrrrr.

This sounds like a great time to break in the wife's TJ. But, her sister is in town this weekend. I will talk with my wife to see if she wants to go. If so, we will bring the TJ and the XJ.....

[chelms27]

Tell her sister to come along and she can ride with the wife!!

[Gerr]

cant see why I cant make this one

[tcm glx]

Are there any closures this weekend on the 15....i won't make cleghorn, probably heading up the the Jeepspeed race in Henderson!

[Monkey55]

Cool to see all the interest..

Here is a map to Cleghorn.. The trails are on the East side..

There are no signs indicating that the 15 frwy will be closed this weekend.

It'll just a one day run..

Remember to bring food and drinks (non-alcoholic)

The wives/better-halves do pretty good on this trail..

COOL!!!!!

[erikwylie]

I am in, gotta test the MJ leafs Dzraces races and I installed last night!

[chelms27]

[IslanderOffRoad]

I might be in

[TheWarWagon]

I'll be working on the Jeep Saturday. But on Sunday, I'd like to make a run.

[markw]

I'm a maybe.

[IslanderOffRoad]

I really want to make a run this weekend, what time would we be done on saturday?

[Monkey55]

The last couple times I ran it, we finished around 3:30pm.. But, we spent a lot of time stopping for every pebble. I think we could finish sooner if we move it along..

If someone needs to leave sooner, they can always take the fire road back because there are MANY cross-overs with the fire road..

[SlimsXJ]

Count me in ,and I think my buddy Rick will be there with his full size XJ.

I'll be going, STOCK with 30" BFG's. I think you'll be just fine.

[chelms27]

So is anyone coming up from San Diego, or does anyone want to meet up and go up together? I would be leaving from Oceanside around the fallbrook exit on the 15.

[Monkey55]

So far, about 12 rigs siad that they will be going.. I would like to try it stock one of these days.. hmmm. Maybe I can "borrow my dad's YJ one of these days..

Cool man, I am not worried about running the trails with my set-up, I just didn't want to slow anyone up if everyone else shows up with 35's, long arms, and full lockers(scotty).

[SlimsXJ]

Hey Andy, yea its David ,hope to see saturday,should be alot of if everyone shows that has said they will.

[homebrew]

may be going if i can get my u joints changed out. Can anyone tell me what size socket i need to take off the hub nut?

[markw]

I'm leaning towards going. Anyone else from SD? MikeG?

36mm to take the axle nut off, 12pt 13mm to remove the unit bearing.

[IslanderOffRoad]

I've gotta be in Ventura by 5pm so this may not work for me

[explorerxj]

I will!!! I am taking my digital camera this time. I am "close" to ripping the DVD video off those discs from last time. But for some reason everytime I try it rips the same video no matter what track is shown????

[chelms27]

I will be heading up the 15 from Oceanside if anyone wants to convoy up with me. So is it just off the interstate on the Cleghorn exit..and then you all will be gathering right to the east? See you all there.

[homebrew]

Yeah david I got the window put back in with a screw driver and a hand full of bad words(tried the string method, but couldnt get it to work.) Wish I could have stayed longer could have actually used my off road lights OFF ROAD.

[silverslk]

Hers a couple more. Yeah, I know they aren't that great but at least its something, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCHl5F4DnO8

That one is David in the tough area again


I have a short one of Manny 3 wheelging down the pucker bypass and Elias when his XJ slipped and dented his door. I'll try to post those later

[markw]

Well, here's a picture of the Carnage. Note to self, toss one of these in the toolbox. $13.49 for a new one, 40 mile round trip to pick it up including 3-4 of fire road to get to the main road. :( Enjoyed a lovely 3-4 hours of downtime. Good news is that we took all the fireroad bypasses after it was fixed, almost had to pull in the mirrors a couple times, and felt like I was going to flop it. I should ride with someone who has a red xj so I can see where the flopping point is. :)

[silverslk]

the way that started out I thought it was gonna be one of those "priceless" commercials. Glad to see everyone made it home safe and you got your XJ running and continued with the good time we were having when I left.

[Monkey55]

It was FUN!!!!! I had a great time.. I think everyone else enjoyed the run too... 8 rigs showed up. 6 XJ's, 1 YJ and 1 FSJ. I'll have to get a pic up of my FIRST carnage and my brother's, Manny, carnage..

Damage Report - My rear driver door and rocker panel and woke up to a flat tire, Paul's rear window popped out, Manny's driver's side step thingy on his YJ is thrashed, Mark's idler pully seized up, and David's air line drained his co2 tank. Not too bad..

For some reason, Manny's YJ didn't like to have all four tires on the ground.. Everytime we turned around, one or two tires were up the in the air.. :rof: I couldn't understand why my beast keep creeping up the side walls. You can see that in one of the vids. I see Rock Rails in my future. Andy had to show us up by doing most of the trail in a stock rig. David took a couple of years off his life by doing Pucker Hill (I think all of our hearts stopped a beat when he hit the top of the wall), I think Nathan will now get a compressor or a CB or a jacket or snuggle up to his honey in the cold :D .BRRRRR it was COLD when the sun dropped. I think this run motivated Rick or Rich (sorry, I forgot) to finish up his XJ. He brought his Wagoneer.. Mark will trust his instinct next time he thinks a part needs to be replaced. Paul proably won't be lugging around too many extra tires in the back of his rig any more. That must have been a cold drive home, HomeBrew..

And finally, all of us, Mark first, win the Bone Head Award for the day when we stuck our heads over the engine, while it was running, to get a closer look at the idler pully that was bad.. DOH!!!!! We jumped back pretty quickly when we heard a snapped and saw/heard a piece of metal shoot out. We knew better than that.. :explosion

Fun Times. Next time, we'll have to do it both ways.. Maybe sometime in January..

:wave1:

Elias

[silverslk]

The last two videos I have.

Watch his face when his trucks wheels fall off the rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQNmRd2ozPk


And last Three wheel Manny then my SD card filled up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQuld4Q8Uzw


Oh and Manny found the problem with his rig while we were kickin it fixing the pulley. His rear disconnects were hung up and jammed under his springs.

[Monkey55]

Hey Andy,

Is there a way I can get those Quicktime files from you?? I'll put them together and add music to the back ground.. And put the pics in too.

Elias

[silverslk]

PM'd you my numbers

[markw]

Like I said, the idler felt fine before JV when I had the belt off checking out the water pump. Definately a trail spare part, cheap enough to toss a new one in the toolbox and they're used on all the 4.0's with AC. Yeah, having 4 or 5 of us looking at it wobble while it was running wasn't the brightest thing, especially when it froze. If that was caught on tape it'd been the redneck move of the week, wonder who jumped back the furthest?? :) Lots of fun, regretting not doing the first part where you dented your door, but now that I look back, I walked away with only some scratches from branches, and my passenger side doesn't match my drivers side. :)

[djblade311]

Nice vids! Elias, yer supposed to get rock rails BEFORE the damage. hehe

Wish I could have went

[corbinafly]

Cool pics/vids. Wish I could have made it.

David, is that the reflexxion cowl hood on your rig?

Kyung

[SlimsXJ]

Yes it is, really nice part!

[corbinafly]

Yes it is, really nice part!
Yeah. I've been thinking about one of those for a while now.

[Monkey55]

LOL.. Yeah, even the wife told me that when I showed her the dent.. :doh: Well, sometimes I do things backwards.. Although, I think it can be buffed out.. :wierd:


Elias

[SlimsXJ]

Sure you can, with some sandpaper!

[GNRXJ]

i bashed my rocker a couple weeks ago with slimy and now i have a pair of rock rails to put on it seems we never lean from others mistakes . oh well

[homebrew]

heard a pop out there(trail) thought it was just my BPE's or lack there of driving to work monday had a weird vibe looked under found out my rear u joint kinda exploded, sucks because it was just replaced
