Cherokee Crawl 2009

[Kudzu]

When: July 2-4
Where: Morris Mountain ORV


Stay tuned for more info

[Mr.Shrek]

With it being on the 4th of July:patriot: can we expect there to be a wonderful display of explosions? :explosion





and some fireworks would be nice as well.

[peleejosh]

I won't be able to go, but my family runs a fireworks tent for the 4th.
If someone in Mid TN wants to get fireworks for the Crawl, I will give them 50% off.

[Spawn 93]

I was informed that the Crawl would be at Windrock this year. Did I get misinformation?

[XJ Stryker]

Damn not in Ky this year.

[XJfire75]

I'm in I'll be locked and hopfully LAed by then

[256offroad]

ill be there!

[Ghost]

I was informed that the Crawl would be at Windrock this year. Did I get misinformation?

No you were not misinformed. There was some leaning to having it at Windrock but after some debate and some shoping we found a sweet deal. Last year Heather and I talked about moving it around and this new BOD agrees to try and hold it in different places in the SE. There are very few place that can accommadate what the crawl is. Windrock is one of them, but the current BOD did some searching and decided this was the better place at this time.

[XJerome95]

Finally!!!!!! The crawl is 45 mins from the house!!!! I'll be there! I love MM.

[kingmeirl]

i've never been there but hope to go! Maybe I could meet up with someone, I live in Cumming

[The Hard Struggler]

July 2-4? If that is the confirmed date, I won't be there.:flamemad::tears::cry::bawl::gonnablow:mad: Prior engagements that cannot be changed.

[Kudzu]

yep confirmed dates

[bcktracker]

Sounds like a Plan, i will be looking forward to seeing everyone. we had a blast last year in Harlin, and this will
be FUN.

[The Hard Struggler]

No vote? No poll?

[Kudzu]

I don't think so since we have already reserved the park.

[rredalty]

Prob count Tiff and I out for the weekend also.

[The Hard Struggler]

With it being on the 4th of July:patriot: can we expect there to be a wonderful display of explosions? :explosion





and some fireworks would be nice as well. Well, depends how well they enforce the rules... per their website under "RULES".

"8. No dangerous or controlled substances are allowed in the park such as firearms, fireworks, or explosives."

No noise on the 4th?! Boooooo.

[WTF]

I'm probably sitting this one out.

Morris Mountain is a great park with good wheeling for all ability and capability levels, you all will have a blast!

8 hours and 500 miles each way is just too much for me to justify


If anyone else is in the same boat and wants to wheel closer to NC, SC, VA. PM me and we'll work on an unofficial 'crawl' meet, wheel & greet that weekend.

[Turners90XJ]

No vote? No poll?

Yeah thought we would have some kinda input on it.... Can count myself and my wife out as well. Too bad was looking forward to the crawl

[flash2pablo]

The wife and I are out too..550 miles and 8 hour drive is the killer.

WTF - I may be down with doing something unofficial that same weekend closer to home.

[Stallacrew]

Friggin right........finally something going on in Alabama. I am there. Too bad there isnt a race or something that weekend at 'Dega...that would be pimp.

[PacificEd]

You guys wanted a BOD that would do stuff, plan events, and get things rolling in the right direction. You wanted to do more Meet & Greets, wrenching and wheeling. I'd like to think we were listening.

I'm sorry for letting everybody down. The plan was to be proactive, not reactive. We actually have a full calendar of events for the entire year. We have both major rides, the Crawl and Flog, planned with dates set for the year. There is plenty of room on the calendar for tons of other rides, etc.

As to why we chose Morris Mountain. We saw an opportunity to get the exclusive use of an OHV park that would only have Crawl participants there. New facilities. An excellent rate for an entire weekend of wheeling and camping. This allows people to bring their entire family if they so desire and not pay a "per person" fee. It's a park everyone seems to like and in an area many have never been.

With the way things are now, we can get on task to prerun trails, plan the meals, put together the flyers, and gather raffle prizes.

It also gives people who want to attend ample time to save up for the event, make requests for time off from work, etc.

I guess I should have polled everything and got 50 different places and answers for dates. Then we could be rushing around at the last minute trying to pull it together. And even after doing all of that, somebody would still be upset.

By the way, the dates for both '09 events mirror last years Crawl and Flog.

I would hope that 6 months from now everyone would feel better and come have a good time with us. We really meant for this announcement to be positive and a move forward.

[bigalpha]

Well said. I am trying to make some positive change as well. Everything can't be convenient for everyone.

[Mr.Shrek]

Well I will be doing my best to get the fam and myself down there. Even though I will have about 1hr or so longer drive (one way) then some that are:rattle:. Thank you BOD for being on top of things, pulling the trigger and getting things done.

[The Hard Struggler]

Well said Mr. Ed.

I am all for Morris Mt., only 80 miles from home!!! I mean NO ill will! I'm very happy with the BOD being pro-active! The date conflicts with a prior engagement thats all. :cheers: I was hoping for a vote on the date, out of a hope of last resort, i'm the idiot for not remembering the dates.

Who knows, it's six months away, my schedule might open up.

[Spawn 93]

I didn't want to complain either, just had heard it was at Windrock. Turns out that I will have a tough time makin it myself since I will be in Ft. Polk until the 3rd. I will try my hardest though. Plan to have some mods by then......


Brian

[256offroad]

lemme know if you need any help. i am looking forward to this. i have never been to morris mt. but plan to run there shamrock ride.

[MELKORsXJ]

i've never been to morris mt. either... i'll try to gather up a few friends from Chattanooga to go... and Mark, Ed... when the time gets closer and you know when you'll be driving through let me know, and maybe we can meet up and have a convoy...:clap:

...i don't know what we'll do without Chef Tim !!! :chef:

[Ghost]

Jsut an FYI, the Crawl has always been on the first weekend of July.

[XJfire75]

Im going to try to get my cousin to go and we will sty at the lake house in Cedar Bluff only about an hour away.

Bronco forums talking about going to Morris the next weekend too LOL...

[WTF]

Yeah, not complaining here either; just stating my circumstances. kudos to the organizers for having plans ready so early and an exclusive weekend at the park will be a welcome luxury.

[nickjc13]

So whats it all about im new to this?

[mclovin]

i just checked out the morris mountain website. looks awesome. how strict are they on vehicle requirements? if they hold you to it alot of us can't go passed the class 3 trails. or do we want to go past the class 3 trails?

[PacificEd]

The Cherokee Crawl is one of two events put on by the South East Chapter of NAXJA (the Flog being the other). It's an event where eveyone gets together for wheeling, camping, and eating for a long weekend. There is also a raffle for all kinds of Jeep goodies.

[WTF]

i just checked out the morris mountain website. looks awesome. how strict are they on vehicle requirements? if they hold you to it alot of us can't go passed the class 3 trails. or do we want to go past the class 3 trails?

I believe these are more 'suggested equipment' than requirements. All of the trails cross over and fork off of each other, so there would be no feasible way to enforce what trails you ride with what level of built rig. If you lack the experience or common sense to determine what level of trail you should attempt and the trail boss warning you of what you're getting into don't dissuade you from going on a trail, there will be plenty of people eager to watch and photo/video you tearing up your junk! :fuse:

You will need the NAXJA required equipment to participate in any trail ride though.

[XJfire75]

Yeah they're just suggestions...

We were there on New Years. Its a good place. I will be wheeling at Mountainside a week or 2 after this so Im not sure as of now but We'll see.


Any ideas where the Flog will be?

[nickjc13]

So its going to be at morris mtn? I want to go im going to be coming from Biloxi MS

[PacificEd]

Yes, it will be at Morris Mountain. July 2-4, 2009.

[bcktracker]

well i look at it this way, its a MONEY thing for me.
i can drive to bama from SC, and camp, ride the park for 3 days. and also pay event fee, and have the entire park for just us is also a PLUS for less than 150 round trip.
and the windrock thing is by what i understand, 20 or 25 per person, per day. and i got 4 in my clan, then also pay for a place to stay. i can not see that type of cash for a 3 day thing. maybe if i was local in the area. and could go home every night, but not for me.

so Morris Mtn is for me ,, GOOD call on the place for this year.

Awesome! good to hear we will have some travelers!

[sofo259]

I'll make plans to be there!
This will be my first wheeling trip with you guys, are there any mandatory items/equipment we must have?

[Kudzu]

yep...let me see if I can find that list

Required Equipment for
Event Participation

1. Visibly Charged Fire Extinguisher
(BC or ABC)

2. First Aid Kit
3. Adequate Spare Tire, Jack and
Lug Wrench

4. Safety Belts for driver and any
current passenger

5. Adequate Attachment points in
the front and rear of the vehicle

6. 20ft 10,000lb Snatch Strap
without any metal hooks

7. Secured Battery

VERY HIGHLY recommends that all
event participants have a CB Radio.
NAXJA requires all listed items
to be present, and available for
use, for a vehicle to be permitted
to participate in an event. Participants
are expected to stow equipment
and all other items within
their vehicle in a safe manner,
conscious of the effects of OHV
use and possible shifting of items.
Safety Inspectors will use this
list for safety inspections prior to
any event. The Safety Inspector
has final say in approval or rejection
of any vehicle for event participation
and may at anytime defer
to a second event or club officer
for additional ruling
NAXJA expects each event
participant to carry insurance and
registration sufficient to meet the
legal requirements of their vehicle
state of residence and for the
roads and trails traveled for the
event. NAXJA is not responsible
for assuring an entrant vehicle is
legal for the roads and trails traveled
in the event.

[thatguytrav]

I will prolly be attended but no promises!

[Ghost]

I'll be there! One way or another!

[XJerome95]

That makes 2 Fulmers attending.

[Ghost]

That makes 2 Fulmers attending.

What you talking about Willis?

[XJerome95]

Heh, Thats my last name too!

[bigalpha]

Sorry folks, your local SEC technology and organization master :D won't be there this year.

Serious lack of $ coupled with many things that need replacin' leave me out of it for now. Once I get the important stuff fixed, I'll come out and meet you jokers.

You can still come along. Being the tech guru means you get to film and photo the wheeling activites.

That should help spur you along to getting your rig going.

Heh. I gotta upgrade my A/V facilities before I become the official videographer, lol. It's hard to mix A/v when you only have 11GB left on your hard drive, lol.

Not to mention, I'll be bringing my SO and she's pretty shy. Gotta ease her into these social situations.

[PacificEd]

What are you talking about? You know how to hold a Sony Handicam, right? If I can do it, it ought to be a breeze for you.

Bring her along. We don't bite......well, I don't think any of us do but you never know.

[bigalpha]

Naw, the Handycam is the easy part - I've got one of those. Pulling the video to the computer for the editing is the resource-intensive part. I guarantee that it'd fill up my HDD fast. I'm in the process of getting a big 320GB HDD soon.

I'll sit this one out and try to make the next one where I can wheel my own rig with my girl. Thanks, though. :D

[Kudzu]

I promise not to bite..;)

[MELKORsXJ]

...the trip is still over 5 months away... you don't have to sit this one out, there's plenty of time to put away some money...
i mean shoot, if everyone could put away $25 a week, they'd have $500 by the trip... and all you'd have to do is not eat out once or twice during the week to save 25 bucks right?

[nosigma]

Well said. I am trying to make some positive change as well. Everything can't be convenient for everyone.

No joke there, 724 miles, 11hrs 41 minutes. whine, snivel, nose bubble.

I will start planning and saving now. Sounds like it should be a good time. Been east for almost 3 years and I spend more time wheeling with NAXJA in SoCal while TDY tham I do with NAXJA SEC in my own "back yard".

Thats gonna change.

John

[Chad29860]

Seems how I didnt make the flog I am gonna try and make this event. I am really wanting to put some faces to these screen names. Hope to see ya'll there.

[Ghost]

Those of you complaining about how far it is. Just rember OneTon and Fore wheeler came from the midwest to ride in the crawl. We had Crunch from Colorodo come and a host of others make long drives. Those are off the top of my head. I'd like to see a crawl in VA in the future. I just hope I cane scrape up the money to drive that far! LOL!

[bigalpha]

That one's gonna be tough for me right now. In two months or so when our income stabilizes, I might could scrape something up. I actually overdrew my account yesterday :looser:

Been there done that. It will get better! My office went a few months without freight.

[bigalpha]

What do you do Ghost?

[The Hard Struggler]

"Wait just a minute, folks, things might be a changing in Team Malcom's Crawl schedule!!!" :yelclap::yelclap::yelclap::yelclap::clap::clap::c lap::clap:

Ghost is in the trucking business, if I recall.

[Kudzu]

Yes he is..& things have been slim for him this past year.

That's Great Tim..Jessie is all set & is trying to talk me into bringing her little sister.

[PacificEd]

"Wait just a minute, folks, things might be a changing in Team Malcom's Crawl schedule!!!" :yelclap::yelclap::yelclap::yelclap::clap::clap::c lap::clap:



Sounds good Tim!

My grandparents moved their 60th wedding anniversary last year so I could go to the 2008 Crawl.

It's looking like it will be a great turnout.

John,

We sure hope you decide to come down for the Crawl. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I'm like Ghost. I think an event in Virginia would be a lot of fun.

[nosigma]

If enough folks are interested I might be able set something up at Crozet near Charlottesville. Its private members only or clubs by special arrangement. I am going there this weekend and will inquire. If the answer the folks who run it are interested I will post up terms/conditions and see what interest we might generate.

I would be intrested in a VA thread with the different locations that might be doable and what facilities they have along with trails.

I work in a family owned truck brokerage business. We do about 24m a year in business. I have not heared what we did this year except I need to hussle and find some freight. !!!1 :dunce:

[Chad29860]

Hey Glen what way do you go to Morris? Also when you planning on heading down for the Crawl? I will hopefully be back working and would like to make the Crawl to put some faces to the names. If your coming by me maybe we could roll out together. Talk to ya later.

From what I can see, I'll go I-20 all the way. I think I will head down on Wednesday. I usually go and wheel thursday friday and saturday when I go to the crawl. It is my one big trip a year.

I am gonna try and make this trip so maybe we can hook up around exit 1 and ride up through I-20 together. We will talk more about closer to the date.

I should be back down in AL by then so I can't think of what better place to be on the 4th. :party:

[thatguytrav]

Well maybe we can all meet up at Exit 1. I really need to gather up spare parts first since I will be driving my rig down.

Sounds good to me. I live about 3 miles from exit 1 so when it gets closer we can work it out with everyones schedule. I will take two days off work to make it on Wednesday like Glenn. Cant wait to wheel with some :NAXJA: guys.

[~Spanky~]

I'm stressed! Still not movable! Hope to have it moving on its own power by the weekend. Need to sell some stuff so I can buy a front locker. I'm going to weld the rear!

[Spawn 93]

Still so much to do!!!!!!!!! All kinds of mechanical stuff that I could be doing and my dumba$$ is painting it in my spare time. Makes as much sense as Military Intelligence.


Not even putting a big effort into painting it either......:anon:

[XJfire75]

Ill prolly come out. If I can talk my cousin into getting his done and stay at his lake house about an hour from MM.

Be trying out the 35s and shackle relocation brakets then since June is booked with vacations...

[stumpXJ]

Seeing as how I just bought a house in ATL last week, and my XJ will be there in about 2 weeks, my wife and I would like to make this event. Its only a little over an hour or so from our new house, so I dont see any reason not to go! The only problem I see is I am not sure if my wheeling stuff will be there in time (straps, Hi-lift, RTT, camping stuff etc). We have to ship all that stuff with our house hold goods, and It may not be there in time.... It will be down to the wire. I am coming though, if even only for a day or two. If the stuff gets to ATL in time, we will stay the whole time.

I read through this whole thread, and didnt get much info. Is there some other place that has info? Like, what is the cost for wheeling? can we camp? Can we arrive on Wed. and leave on Sunday? Any sort of schedule at all?

~James

[stumpXJ]

Duh... never mind. I found what I was looking for.

I'm still in need of a pic of last years crawl shirt if anyone can help out.

[Ghost]

I'm still in need of a pic of last years crawl shirt if anyone can help out.

Why? It needs a chest logo with the site and date and a big logo on the back with the same. Run with it. Or are you not a real artist?

[Mr.Shrek]

I am not an artist by any means of the word, the wife just wanted an idea of what y'all had before.

[Ghost]

I am not an artist by any means of the word, the wife just wanted an idea of what y'all had before.

Oh. LOL! Was joking anyway about the artist thing. Like I said logo on front chest logo on back is what we have done in the past. If I can get a camera I'll try and shoot some for you.

[PacificEd]

correct...
Ed said it was being taken care of.

I just talked to Randy @ Morris Mountain and he said everything is a go for the NAXJA Crawl. He said his website guy has been busy and he hasn't been able to update the site. That is why our event isn't on the calendar.

We can begin arriving on Wednesday and leave out on Sunday.

Unfortunately, even though it will be the 4th of July, no fireworks will be permitted. He said there is a lot of pine straw in the campground and if it is dry doesn't want to chance a fire.

Randy seems excited to have us so lets go out and see how much fun we can have.

GL with that. Lennie just installed a Terra knuckle and all I have to say is I hope the WJ knuckle does not have the same problem his older terra knuckle has.

Ok Curiosty peeked. What do you mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghost]

Ok Curiosty peeked. What do you mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BAsically the early tera knuckle had the upper arm for the draglink longer then the original setup. So it gave the same problem that I have and all highsteer setups on D44 and D60's have. You loose turning radious because the pitman arm is not long enough. I wonder if the wj pitmanarm is longer? Did you get it too?

I don't have the pitman arm. I know I'm gonna have to tweak the steering some. I'm already OTK with what I have so I'm hoping I can get it to work with a little modification.

BAsically the early tera knuckle had the upper arm for the draglink longer then the original setup. So it gave the same problem that I have and all highsteer setups on D44 and D60's have. You loose turning radious because the pitman arm is not long enough. I wonder if the wj pitmanarm is longer? Did you get it too?

I just added a 96 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 pitman arm to my box. Not only does it give me more throw, but it also has more drop than my other drop pitman arm had. The only thing is that it is tapered for a TRE to attach from the top and not the bottom. It didn't matter for my setup because I run heims and I drilled the taper out anyways.

I bought the pitman arm from the JY for less than ten bucks and it bolted on the box with the exact same grooves. I gained a substatial amount of turning radius with the dodge arm. So, if you are at the JY, keep an eye out for a Dodge 2500 box and you'll see what I mean. Good luck!

That's what happens when you leave the door open over night. Come in the next day, flip the lights on and you find that thing!

Well let's put it this way, neither one of those XJ's are going to fit under that opening in the door behind oldblue.
