Planning on Thursday afternoon as of now.

[WI88XJ]

Tater and Rich

BOB

[GRIMUS99XJ]

I should be there friday evening

[IllianaXJ]

Should be there, not sure which day yet. If I can arrange it like last year, I'll be up Thursday afternoon/evening. This time I may bring a tent heater if I stay at the CG Thursday night, it was a bit chilly last year :D

[85xjwoody]

Plan on being to the campground Thursday afternoon/evening with some possible wheeling. We plan on leaving Sunday evening or Monday morning.
Just might have two jeeps to bring this year. Depends if I get the right parts in time for the 85.

Mac, are you trying to say you'll bring the baby jeep? I think you have done this enough times to know what the weather will be like. I've done this 5 or 6 years in a row and I have to say the weather has been beautiful every single year. Borrow the gooseneck and bring them both, that is the answer.


Oh, and I'm in as usual. Assuming I'm not back here in Russia freezing my butt off. 35 degrees is todays high, and low 40's all week. Looking like I may only be here for two weeks, not 5 as planned, but would have to do a return trip near the end of February.

One XJ or the other...weather dependant...some years its nice enough to go without doors and such...other years its just too damn cold. Besides I have some mods coming for the baby jeep this winter which should make it more fun to wheel.

Was planning on going to the Fall Fling but the floods but the nix on that. :mad: So I think I deserve to get out of here and am going to try and make it to Winterfest.

I better get to work on my XJ :doh:

Nope....we will just laugh at you.

I have notified the parts stores in Attica to keep an abundance of ring and pinion parts in stock that weekend!


It will be good to see you again!
Although, I doubt you will get Lar as a passenger again.

[jester1084]

I hope that I can get in on this, I didn't get to go out at all last year due to money and time. Of course now money is still tight and who knows if I'll be able to get time off or not. I've still got a ton of work to do, like the 44 front 60 rear I have sitting in the garage collecting dust.

If it works now, why monkey with the new axles.

No joke man i'll be there on 235's!

[jester1084]

Well, the axle part would really just be a fun bonus. The bigger problem I have is the new job in the Department of Corrections. I just started and have zero seniority over anyone, meaning last choice for days off and I'm still on probation so I don't get vacation days until after 6 months.

[jester1084]

I'm going to see if I can get those days off but I have no idea if I'll be able to yet or not.

[Fore Wheeler]

I'm going to see if I can get those days off but I have no idea if I'll be able to yet or not.

yea, but the up side of this is that who else in their right mind would want a weekend off in March?

see ya there.

No matter how far down the senority list I've been with the public service over the years, i've always got the weekend for winterfest off...since 2000...

[indyjeepnut]

MOJO is in. We are bring 4 or 5 Rigs.

[bgwyllys61]

im gonna try, would like to make a naxja event, and id like to wheel the Badlands too, so why not?

[jester1084]

Yup, I got off that weekend. So as long as everything is in running order on the jeep and nothing comes up I should be there. I'll just have to give everything a once over and tweak a few things before then. I probably won't get the new axles done yet but I can always try.

[88MJjeep]

Yeah i went with Good Ole Eggie (Aaron Eggleston) last year and had a blast.. I have a camanche that I am taking the Bed off of and Taking the front fenders off and going to run some either 31s or 33s which ever i can find by then!

[HaleYes]

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Hopefully some new faces as well.

Look for pre-registration to be up soon!

[FlexdXJ]

damn i think i'm gonna have to sleep in the Jeep!! :shiver:

[RedHeep]

Trying to get there. Depends on the deployment schedule. Have a request in for Wed-Sun, so I'll be looking for folks to wheel with on thursday and friday.

Hopefully, Mikey will have room in his tent :D

Man, your gonna be so let down :D

Yeah, we're much sexier online. :gee:

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

damn straight Hale!

[GoSlowGetStuck]

Can't wait to actually learn where the trails are! Been out there half a dozen times since August and I still feel like I never follow a trail start to end, without venturing off-course. Also looking forward to putting names to faces, and I know there are some badass XJs there I need to see. To "borrow" ideas from :)

I've got 6" of lift and 33"s, but no lockers or winch. I'm assuming "moderate" is an appropriate trail choice for me? I don't want to be bored, but "hardcore" just sounds so... hardcore.

[IllianaXJ]

Weeelll, to be honest, without lockers or a winch you may need to stick to Green (easy). It will be up to the trail leader on Saturday whether or not you can run Orange (moderate). Depends on how many want to run the trail, weather conditions, etc.

Last year we had a ton of rigs on Orange, some of which were not locked and were placed between locked/winch'd rigs, ended up working out fine. Weather cooperated.

[Rev Den]

Yeah, we're much sexier online. :gee:

Maybe you....

It would be difficult for me to be any sexier online then in person.

:D

Rev

[92XJT]

Well guess I'll stick to the moderate run if I can - 33" boggers, rear locker and 12k winch, and not afraid of any body damage - lol. Looks like I pursuaded the wife to come too, so I am going to see if she will try some seat time driving again, if time/terrain permits.

[jeeplas]

Maybe you....

It would be difficult for me to be any sexier online then in person.

:D

Rev

Especially in your bib overalls!!

[redneckguy0404]

im there, no slip rear and 35's so probably moderate im thinkin, long as i can fix it quick and easy, and on the cheap. economy is killing us all!!!!!!!!!!

[ceejus]

i'll be going the easy trail. 3.5" lift, 31x10.50's, no lockers, no winch.....

[bmyohn]

i will be there, i just have to register!!

[bmyohn]

where would i fit at the badlands? ive never been. im on 35s, aussie front, 4.88s, 8.8/HPD30, y-links, etc

edit: im taking my dad out with me who has never been offroading before, so id like to show him a good time

[IllianaXJ]

Green for sure, you could make Orange easily also.

[HaleYes]

Green for sure, you could make Orange easily also.
He could do white as well. It will just depend on trail conditions and how much body damage he's willing to accept.

[bmyohn]

i guess i dont quite know what colors mean what. green im assuming is easy, then orange, then white?

ive wheeled before, i used to live out in Mass. and wheeled a bunch out there. im pretty well armored up, and id like to keep the body straight for a little longer lol, but i built it to wheel it, so im up for anything

[HaleYes]

The colors are just the names of the trails.

Easy - Green
Med. - Orange
Lil' Harder - Pink & White.

[bmyohn]

oh okay, i gotcha now...well looks like i have a full size spare lined up, a hitch on the way. so now i just gotta grab a fire extinguisher and CB radio and im good to go!!
