Goat on the 5th?

[banderso]

Anyone interested in showing me around the mountain this weekend? Or just exploring? I've never been, but would like to check it out.

[mopar440]

Where exactly is Goat?

[88manche]

Coming from Portland/sunnyside area.
Take sunnyside road to hwy 224. Go out hwy 224 and take a right when you get to the junction for hwy 211. go down 211 for about 20? minuites, and you'll see "Hillockburn Road". Take a left on Hillockburn. Keep driving. You'll be at Goat.

[mopar440]

I'll Mapquest it... I'd be coming from Stayton...

[88manche]

If your gonna mapquest it, this is the closest real place to it that I can think of. Or maybe the Colton gas station.

Estacada Ranger Station, 595 NW Industrial Way , Estacada, OR, 97023,

[Los Lobos]

From Stayton take 213 North.

I might be up for it but I need to check my scheduler.

[Los Lobos]

That get's you almost there, just keep following up to the yellow gate and you at that part.

[banderso]

So what do you guys think? Anyone in?

I don't get the impression there is too much challenging stuff out there, but it should make for an enjoyable day.

[Los Lobos]

I'm there and I can get you as challenging as you want to get in to.

[mopar440]

I'm still pretty much stock, except for the tires/wheels and removing the flares... gonna do some trimming tomorrow, and remove rear swaybar, disco the front and see what I come up with... am on a limited budget for the next few weeks, just trying to do stuff to get more articulation without tearing s%$t up for now...

[mojojojo]

i'm in 88%. debating on breaking this weekend, or saving it for the 12th.....hmmmmmm, meh..... WTF..... i'll do both. C-ya saturday!!!!

[banderso]

Great. What about a meeting place? Is the Colton gas station the best bet? And is this the right gas station?

[RlCHARD CRANlUM]

I may be in if I can get my transfer case to quite leaking since the last trip...

[mopar440]

As a side note, anybody have a set of V8 ZJ front springs collecting dust? Yards around here seem to have a shortage... and maybe a set of stock XJ leafs that need a new home? I know, I suck because I'm being a cheap-ass, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and I gotta lift! Just can't spend alot right now...hasta

[RlCHARD CRANlUM]

There's a "pick a part" near Turner that has the market cornered on ZJ's.

[mopar440]

Gotcha... will check it out!:wave1:

Okay thanks. Lets meet here then. Is nine o'clock a good time? I'm flexible.

[RlCHARD CRANlUM]

I'm fine with nine.

[WheelinJR]

oh poo, ill be in olympia...

oh well, the jeeps pissing brake fluid and needs steering maintenance anyways.

[mopar440]

9 it shall be, then...

By the way, Cranium... stopped @ Pick A Part in Turner today... scored 2 V8 ZJ springs with a couple nitrogen-gas shocks and stock isolators for 20 bucks! Forgot all about that place... thanks for the heads-up... also found a cheap way to extend rear bumpstops... get 'em off a mid 80's Dodge D-50... they mount to the axle and are a perfect fit on the D35... used them full size, and cut the stockers on the XJ up to the last "step"... they Dodge 'stops attatched to the axle with a 2 1/2" muffler clamp, and the inboard u-bolt... works slick as snot! Removed rear sway and used the axle mount for a cheap BPE... gained about an inch of droop...

Cool, I'll have to look into that.

[mojojojo]

hate to bail out on you guys, but this is my first 2 day weekend in 2 months. i'm gonna take advantage and go tow rig shopping. have fun, be safe, and take pictures!

[banderso]

Sorry you can't make it. Good lucky finding a tow rig though. I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures.

Sounds like it will be me, Richard Cranium, and Mopar440.

And just to reiterate - we will meet at 9 o'clock at the address posted by Richard Cranium, NOT at the address I originally posted. CB ch 4, see you there.

[mopar440]

Colton gas station @ 9am... will leave Stayton around 7:30...
