If my rig is back together by then...I'm in.
Maybe lyle will have his rig together then too, and be able to give her a run?

~Scott

[Blkxjkrawler]

Definately still going to be in Moab.
-Ryan

[Bruno™]

I should have my stuff put together by then. We'll see what the coming weeks bring. After the main install of the lift and axles, I need to get a SYE and driveshaft fitted. Depends on when that gets finished up.

-Lyle

[Ba-Riedo]

Damn Lyle you work fast, and yet I have never seen a picture of your jeep. So when is the rear locker coming?

He hasn't even touched his Jeep yet as far as modding! :laugh:

And when I last spoke to him he said he's waiting on the locker.

Correct. The parts are stacking up in my dads shop. Putting it all on next weekend. As for the locker, Im going to armor up etc first.

I'm telling you dude...if you want to wheel this thing...order your armor now. Like I said in the past, sliders, bumper, ect. take at least a month in most cases.

But, I will say I can't wait to see that thing with some lift and dents! :yelclap:

~Scott

[Ba-Riedo]

Lyle for the most part you do not need sliders in the winter around here. Most people run deep snow and few trails, I would say wait till march to get bumpers and sliders and get a locker for the snow. If you value your jeep you probably wont be hitting the trails till spring time.

-Alex

[WaXJ_Skier]

If I'm not up and running by the cleanup can I get a ride?

Thats pretty much what I was thinking. Winter is just around the corner, so Im most likely going to wait till spring for sliders. Gonna get towing means and call it good for now. Im pretty sure untouched snow isnt going to crush my rockers :wierd:.

-Lyle

P.S. I cant wait either to get my stuff bolted up. Been catching looks from my kit everytime I go downstairs. Saturday and Sunday of next week is the plan.

[Muddy Beast]

If you can get up to Everett I can hook you up with a ride (assuming I go) if you want.

~Scott

[ladywolf]

i may be going, if my jeep is fixed and back. so you can ride w/ me if ya want.

[CanMan]

50% chance for me. Thats if the tow rig comes back from Cle Elum by then.

[squidd]

Going to try to make it. Won't be in Moab unless I win that red cherokee :rof:

As to ordering armor in the spring... just be prepared for realllyyyy long lead times on your order. Waited a month and half from AJ's and then decided I couldn't wait that long and had to wait a little over another month for the sliders and bumper from JCR. Started the whole process in March got my bumper the 3rd of June. Deffinitly worth the wait but seemed like forever when I was waiting.

Ya, Ill probably order sometime after xmas...when money is flowing again. That way Ill have them by the time spring runs start.

Haha, only if I could :confused1.

-Lyle

[rooneypower]

you can, all you have to do is put your mind to it. I'd help you out, but I'm to busy right now to build bumpers and rockrails for people. I might in a while, but not right now...

Ill take second in line gladly haha. That would be sick if you could fab some stuff for me in the future. Your busy, and Im in no immediate need so we've got some time.

Working with gas welders is not that much fun, I did my seats with a engineer from Boeing and a gas welder and it was kinda a PITA.

Its slow and boring, limited setup too. Cant really build a bumper with that...

Gotta see what happens these first few months of school but I might be able to hook you up Lyle.

Word. Things are pretty crazy with me too. Between school, cross country, college apps/SAT, and soon to be resuming my job...Im pretty slammed with time. Come mid november things will settle though. Thanks for the possible offering.

-Lyle

[Ba-Riedo]

Word? Were you even alive when that phrase was in popular useage? Oh and where are you thinking about applying Lyle? Do early admission whenever possible, you will have a nice quiet winter while everyone else is worrying about getting their apps in by spring.

-Alex

[IXNAYXJ]

:roflmao:

-Lyle

[Ba-Riedo]

Thought I would bump this back up to the top, a little over a week away.

-Alex

[GinisKratos]

I finally got my fuel pump replaced again (replaced it just before NWFest) as well as another IAV (replaced it in Feb bah) and put in the replacment back window, so im good to go =) I'm hoping to be able to go. its about 50/50 right now.

Ed

[Bruno™]

If I have tow points and some skids by then Im more than likely in. Got all my stuff installed this past weekend, but thats for a different thread when I get pics up. From what I hear though, Reiter can be brutal to your rockers, and Im slider-less currently. Any thoughts?

-Lyle

[Ba-Riedo]

You probably wont want your first trip to be there, well that depends on the trails but for the most part its pretty brutal.

-Alex

[Bruno™]

Thats what I figured. Gotta get some armor first. Good thing winter is close though, wont miss too much :D

-Lyle

[Ba-Riedo]

Yeah you can ride along with at reiter anyways. You will have more fun if you dont have to worry about doing alot of damage to a clean rig.

-Alex

[WaXJ_Skier]

-Alex

I disagree Ive gooten way more damage other places than I have at Reiter.

[Ba-Riedo]

It kinda depends where we go Joe, rhino land, wall trail, and sac up were gonna be doing a little smaking. But if he stays on the power line trails he would be alright.

-Alex

[Sideshow]

I have about a 75% chance of making it to this cleanup run. This will be my first run with NAXJA people. I was at Reiter all day last Saturday and did just fine. I smacked my front diff cover and bent a spring clip but that's all. BTW, there were lots of puddles but no mud yet.

Do you have a meeting time and place determined yet?

[Sideshow]

The Wall was closed last weekend along with another trail I can't remember the name of. The sign said for one day only but I hope their open on Oct 12th.

[Ba-Riedo]

For the cleanups everyone just meets in the main parking lot around 9am, signs in, gets trash bags and groups up.

-Alex

[CanMan]

Tow rig will be back. Gotta find a trailer next. So about 50% chance again.

[Bruno™]

-Alex

Ya sounds good. I dont want to puss out but Id rather keep the rig straight till I have some armor I KNOW will take the hits. Word from my rentals is Im getting mostly money for my b-day, so Ill put that toward some armor, most likely sliders.

-Lyle

P.S. Im putting my status at 50/50 because I have homecoming the night before(sat.), and am not sure how much fun getting to bed at 2, up at 7 would be :D

[Ba-Riedo]

Meow, looks like im pulling an all night saturday night and cleanin up saturday. :D

-Alex

[supsa]

Meow, looks like im pulling an all night saturday night and cleanin up sunday. :D

Thought I'd help ya out there a little

[Ba-Riedo]

:kissyou:

[reson46]

Anybody heading out Sunday morning from the Kent/Renton area? I've never been out there and wouldn't mind following somebody who knows the way. :D

Willy

[supsa]

I'm coming from that area but I'll already be there. There is a back way from 18 to fallcity to 203 out to Monroe. You could alway just take the freeway all the way as well.

It's super easy to find. My first time out I was scared too, but its litterally go along highway 2 until you see Reiter RD (Look it up on mapquest, you'd know real quick if you missed it) then you keep driving up on the road until you see a large parking lot that will likely be full of trailers and rigs on the left.

~Scott

[KyleLou]

If you make your own sliders/bumpers, you can get 'em all done in a weekend if you put in like 12+ hours/day lol

:huh:

[KarlVP]

The NWW crew is gonna be camping and partying in the main pit on Saturday night if anyone is interested.

[Ba-Riedo]

Cool, a few of us are going to be up there probably near the rock garden saturday. Time for you to tell me this story. :D

It involves the Hummer test course on the Ft. Eustis Army base in Virginia.

Ask me around the campfire some night.

-Alex

are you back?

[KarlVP]

are you back?

Yes. But I won't be wheeling for a bit.

My wife and I are buying a house right now. I'm taking care of the loose ends before we close on the place. I also have to fix her jeep and my truck before she will let me fix my jeep.

Won't be long. I plan on being back in the TJ by the end of the month. I just needs a new rear driveshaft, two new batteries, and oil change, and some other preventative maintenance.

Not a biggie, just not a lot of time right now.

[WaXJ_Skier]

Yes.

Sweet I might have to bring the Stroh.

[Metal Thrasher]

Welcome Back! Now get back to instigating, prodding and promoting winches!

~Scott

Just wanted to note that after you turn left onto Reiter Rd. the road will split at a "Y" intersection, take the right hand fork and you will eventually come to a gravel area where you can park on your left hand side. It will be easy to tell by the huge number of tow rigs parked there.
