Looking forward to getting out with a group. But I should probably get something better than 225/75-15 All-Season budget tires first. They do well enough, but some 235/75-15 ATs are first on my list.

[PETEY]

It's between Abilene and Lubbock. Anybody out here in West Texas?

[mudfreakin73]

You'll find the wife ( Stacy ) our 2 boys and I ( Fly ) in Spring,TX.

Her ride is a 93' XJ Country on 5.5" of lift, 31" Baja Claws , full interior cage , rock rails , Lincoln locked in the rear with a Detroit up front , 10k lb. winch , custom bumpers , on-board air , and the list goes on and on.

My ride is a 1973 CJ-5 , stretched, caged, locked front and rear w/ 4.88 gears. 383 Stroker w/ Vortec heads ,4" exhaust and headers. Running 14 bolt FF rear and Dana 44 up front . 38.5x15.50x15 Baja Claws on MRT beadlock wheels .

If anyone would ever want to plan a ride somewhere , were usually up for it . See you on the trails. :peace:

[etjoyride]

Fort Worth Here (right by Hulen and 20 intersection).

Have 5 jeeps in the family right now (will go down to four soon unless we buy a comanche)

79 CJ7- ranch vehicle/project vehicle
2000 WJ- sisters DD
2001 XJ- my DD/ trail rig (work in progress)
2006 commander- moms DD
2007 commander- step-dads DD

would love to get both some meet&greets and some trail runs going.

[Kendrik]

So far, we have 16 folks (18, if you count Jeeps) in the region. It looks like our primary population densities are around the DFW and Houston area. If you want a "close to central" meeting place, then Waco is the closest thing to it, but there's no actual members, there. :)

[Kendrik]

Waco is easy enough for me, although where is there to wheel around there? there is Long Ranch in Llano?

Well, I was thinking for non-wheeling meetups, but yeah...that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense, would it. :) That said, it looks like Shiloh Ridge (http://www.shilohridge.com) might be a reasonably central location for everyone.

[goodburbon]

Remember that we can only count red members at first I think. Since forum users are not Actually members of the organization.

The formation of this new chapter should give a few more people a reason to join.

Doh. I knew that. Then we have 10 posting members, or 12 if the wives are also members. So, we're short 3 - 5 folks for Chapter formation. If only some folks were willing to sign up... :wave1:

[Wallymander]

Where at in Ft Worth?

North Richland Hills to be precise..... Buying a house up there.

[BIgDaddyChia]

Ahhh good ole Nacanowhere. Spent any weekends there the 2 years my wife was going to SFA.

Yes!
If your name is not red, you don't count!
Sorry....

[Ecomike]

So we descrimate on the basis color of eh? LOL.

OK, I give, how do we know who is red and who is not?

[roxj]

your red if you are a paying member. also your forum name is in red.

[Ecomike]

your red if you are a paying member. also your forum name is in red.
Then something is wrong here as I paid my dues 8 to 12 weeks ago, my package showed up in the mail about 4 weeks ago, but my name, and I think everyone elses name including yours is showing up as blue in this forum on my browser. I am using Firefox V-1.5.0.12 , could this be a browser issue?

Never mind, I just checked EI, which I almost never use, the members are red in the IE browser. In the Firefox browser everyone is blue, members and (none member) forum users. Must be web site code issue!

[Ramsey]

user error. I'm using firefox and its working fine. On the blue scheme board members were blue and users were black.

[Ecomike]

User error, Eh? Well I thought I made a mistake once, but it turned out I was wrong!:D :laugh2:

You may be using a different firefox version than I am, or you have settings other than default (mine were set on default). I just set my options to allow the website to pick the colors (instead of using browser default colors) and the red colors are now showing up.

Cool, now I know who to talk into paying dues and becoming REAL members!:roflmao::D

[PETEY]

I was just the Sheppard Air Force Base Recreation Annex. Was there for a week, just got back.

[Ecomike]

By my count that makes 14 paid (red) members actually in Texas and a total of at least (from this thread) 17 paid members in or near Texas.

Sounds to me like we have the more than enough for the official body count!:party:

[msrorysddad]

Clifton, Tx near Waco

Kennedale, TX. That's on the south side of Ft. Worth.

Aren't u a member of LSJC also.

[Kendrik]

Okay, here's a link to the Google Earth KMZ file I've created showing the locations of all members who've posted here. I'll keep it updated as new members post. I've also put together a list of potential meeting / wheeling locations.

Good job Kendrik. I really like the way thats set up. Had no idea I was this close to wear the originnal Texas Chainsaw Massacre was filmed.

[Ecomike]

There is now an official announcement page for this soon to be official chapter (how is that for positive thinking?) NAXJA chapter. It is at:

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=243548069#post243548069

Please browse to that page/thread, DO NOT post to it, but instead subscribe to it so that you will get timely official chapter announcements by email about topics like pending meetings or votes in the chapter, etc.

[Ecomike]

Ratherbcamping is down near you (relatively speaking) in Corpus Christi, but I don't know if is going to be active in the chapter. I Pm'd him yesterday and he was not aware of this new chapter forming either. I bought all his Renix Jeep parting-out inventory recently when he passed through Houston.

I guess Im the only sole way down here in Pharr Texas. Its about 60 miles west of Brownsville right on the river/border. Thanks Ecomike for the heads up. I usually skip right to the original or modified forums since, until now, there was no Tx/La chapter.

[BIgDaddyChia]

Yes, Corpus Christi isn't at the end of the world, but you can see it from here.

Well at least i KNow who to message when I go down to north padre again.

[Kendrik]

Google Earth updated. Again. Okay, from now on, just assume I'm updating when someone new posts. :)

[avnsteve]

Yes!
If your name is not red, you don't count!
Sorry....

just bought a year today, I want to be a part of this. Mike, I got your voice mail today. I couldn't take the call because I was in the middle of an inspection.

[goodburbon]

welcome aboard glad to have you here!

[Ecomike]

Wow, that must be a record for us, 4 new (Paid up NAXJA) members added to the chapter in less than 24 hours!

I lost count, how many is that now?

[90Blue_XJ]

Yeah Steve I thought you might like to know this was underway. Thought the phone was the quickest way to reach you. Hope the inspection went well.

Okay, Google Earth is updated. I went ahead and did some clean-up on it, as well, so it's quite a bit easier to read and includes color-coded names AND pins, now. Ditto for the Wheeling destinations.

How do I add the files to my Google Earth????? I'm usually not retarded about such things...

[90Blue_XJ]

I'm way the hell out in Lubbock. I wonder what the guys in New Mexico are doing?

Thought they were part of the Intermountain Chapter? Are they?

[Kendrik]

Well, when you installed google earth, it should have automagically associated the kmz files. So, you should just be able to hit the download link and pick "Open". Google Earth should fire up with everything in place. Otherwise, if you downloaded the link, you should be able to do a "File->Open" in Google Earth and pick the kmz file.

Damn dude, Member #149, since 2002, where have you been hiding all this time!

I think he qualifies for the Board, yes?:laugh2::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

kendrick,

Does the google earth install and run in Win98 SE OK?

I think it's XP/2000 only. Seriously, though...Win98? Time for an upgrade, man! Leave off the Detroit and get a new PC instead! ;)

[Ecomike]

I think it's XP/2000 only. Seriously, though...Win98? Time for an upgrade, man! Leave off the Detroit and get a new PC instead! ;)
No good reason to go to 2000. I have over $10,000 in professional software that Bill Gates wants me to throw away :rattle:just to upgrade to XP. Thanks, But No thanks, Bill! I'd rather fund my own philanthropic (AD)ventures some day.

XP makes the Old Microsoft bloatware (Win 98) look like a lean, mean, trim operating system.

The only reason I would even consider XP would be if I was using my Pcs for video, which I am not. Or if some EPA mandated software came out that I had to use, that required an upgrade. So far I have been lucky in that department. In some ways it is getting the point where I am becoming one of the few remaining Win98 Tech Experts left around.

I still have Win 3.11 on my custom GC lab data aquisition computer at my shop. (GC = Gas chromatograph).

Actualy I still have my first XT clone (1990), with that huge 20 MB hard drive, and my fathers patented 1963 Talamatic computer, which I am saving for the Smithsonian (its the only one left in existance that I know of). I also have a SW Tech 1980 computer of my fathers in storage. He used assembly language on it to write his code. He was a real hard core programer, even used Cobal.

Anyway, my XJs (85 and 87) and my Ford, (73) are still way older than my 98 Wins operating system! LOL.:D And none of them are as old as I am!:laugh2:

Oh, almost forgot, my favorite, most used computer (the one I am on now) is still just a Compaq 166 mhz pentium 1 laptop! I have 10 of them. I do have several newer faster computers, but this one still runs I everthing I need and use, and it runs as fast as I can move, type and read.

[Kendrik]

<<Snip scary talk about old crappy computers>>

I'm crying and hiding under my bed right now.

"Mommy, make the bad man with the old scary computers go away!"

In all seriousness, I see where you're coming from. But my other hobby is PC gaming, so biggest and baddest is the watch word for me when it comes to computers.

It's like me telling you that a cherokee is a waste, my bicycle does the job just fine. ;)

[crazydave]

I know I don't count(at least on this board) but reside in Saginaw, Tx. When we are not wheeling we could still have impompt gatherings at restaurants. Who would turn away a bunch of "nice and decent" people in their wicked cherokee's? Don't answer that.:rof:

Good ol' Altus, OK here.

[goodburbon]

OK guys Part 2 was originally created by the National mods so that we could seperate the wheat from the chaff. If your original post is not in here then you should not worry, you are in the original thread.

If you feel like discussing where someone is from this was the place those posts ended up.

We were really trying to keep a clean thread with nothing but people posting their locations.

IF you have never posted your location in the original "what's your 20" thread please check to see if i moved your post there. If I haven't yet you may post there. Please help make Kendriks life a little easier and save the "Oh really, I grew up near there" comments for this thread or for Personal messages.
