May 6th thru 10th Pyeatte Draw!!

[AZXJ]

Who's in ???



post up!!



This year we are moving camp 1.5 miles east of the current camp spot. The new area will accomidate large RV's and trailer's as well as tent campers.. The area has much more shade and a larger open area for the group to stick together.. There are two ways to get to the new camp spot. From the Houston Mesa entrance you all know and love.. or Take 260 east to Control rd. (Tonto Village) Take control rd (FR64 north west) to FR198 (Pyeatte draw rd.) and make a left. Camp is apx 1.5 miles to the west on Pyeatte draw rd. (Fr198)



Here is the map

I could help too. In fact, I was thinking about meeting someone in casa grande on Sunday to swap some parts, I could drop in and show you how to lay a bead. Or just carry some heavy shit around.

[RoXJok]

Any room for a hommie from Flagstaff?!?!?!?! I don't have anything planned tha weekend and I could use a little getaway.

[RoXJok]

BTW, did anyone notice May 10th is Mother's Day? I may have to leave Saturday then.

It's not how good you can weld, It's how good you can grind!!!

[OddBallXJ]

BTW, did anyone notice May 10th is Mother's Day? I may have to leave Saturday then.

My mom lives on the other side of the country. No worries there. I take my wife with me to stay out of that dog house.

[AZRockRunner]

and now you all know WHY I got my wife into Jeeping. HAHAHAHA, makes mothers day wheeling a GOOD thing
:party:

[89_white_xj]

[AZXJ]

Come awn you fawkers you know you wanna get some!!! Let's go!!!! If any of you need help getting your junk ready make arraingments for my place Thursday's and Friday's and Sat's.. I'm free three days a week and don't mind helping..

Spent most of the day under Jager's rig today..

[RoXJok]

I would love to get my wife into jeepin', but she gets seriously car sick unless she's the one driving. And she's not driving my rig. I told her about it today though, so I plan on being there 'till Saturday.

[AZXJ]

There will be wives and Girlfriends at this event and quite a few of them aren't all that much into wheeling.. So if she's cool hangin with some of the ladies at camp she'd have a nice relaxing weekend!!

[themud]

I might be out for this one unless someone has some 1.5" .250 wall tube lying around I need about 10feet and its gotta be super cheap oh yeah I also need a 1 1/8" 16tpi right hand tap( I think thats the right one it goes on the pitman arm). or 450 dollars to finish my steering and get my wheels mounted on the new chromies:sunshine:(bringing the bling baby)...

I still need a new rear brakeline(tore mine) need to pickup the new rear shaft and get the front shortened and put on the novak shifter but at least the alxes are mostly done fronts going in this weekend so I can mock up the steering. The rear is ready to go in except for the brakeline and Im getting the springs rewrapped at valley spring service oh yeah and I need to put a 1000 miles on my rig in the next month:confused1
this could be fun...
themud

[RoXJok]

So would this event be limited to XJs?

[bigazxj]

So would this event be limited to XJs?


im bringing my zuk buggy out this year if it is back in one piece.

[RoXJok]

I ask, cuz I might be able to get a few rigs from up here to come down. Possibly a couple TJs and maybe a couple others.

[AZXJ]

we are trying to keep it Cherokee based.. since some of our former XJ buddies are now wheeling other junk we put up with them... :D the Core of the event will be Cherokee based, and the runs will cater to the Cherokee crowd..

[RoXJok]

I will invite XJs only then. No worries!!! We have several up here in our club that may like to come. I'll post it on our website.

[AZXJ]

Right awn!! :D

The new camp site is literally right of the road. Its on the north side of NF 198 "Payeatte Rd".

I have GPS coordinates if you want those?

[AZXJ]

What Rob said!! No problem finding it.. Just stay on 198 till you see all the Jeeps and Campers !

[bc99xj]

going to borrow a friends GPS so yeah if you could post up the coordinates. thanks

[pma4x4]

going to borrow a friends GPS so yeah if you could post up the coordinates. thanks

Will post them up tonite. All those entries should still be on the GPS. Will check when i get home

[archangel]

Looks like I'm out...catch ya next time:wave1:

[pma4x4]

I cant seem to find the GPS data either on the GPS or on my puter. Will find the Coordinates manually and post them. It will be a ball park but when your close just look for someone crashing a motorhome into trees and rocks...and jeeps and thats the site.

[pma4x4]

Dave

I forgot to mention, if we get up there on Wednesday I can put up the offical AZXJ paperplate signs on both ways in.

[chrslefty]

Thanks Rob!

[AZRockRunner]

I was up in the Payson area this past weekend and drove to the camp site.
I went in the back way off the control road and it was smoother than most of the Tucson roads I drive on every day.
Its EXACTLY 1.5 miles away from the control road and EASILY handled by even MY RV!!!!!!. There is a few skinny places but other than that, its all good. the drive into camp will probably need smoothing out with a shovel before long RV's like mine can make it in with tow rig attached but no big deal.

Although I am unsure if I am taking my RV due to electrical problems but for those that have them, this back way in is the BESTEST WAY EVER, and I will probably go that way even if I tow jeep behind Ford.

C ya there guys

Excellent. Mt Ord 146.92 PL162.2 and Mt Ord 147.36 PL162.2 should work also.

[cdhowell]

Cant make it, Mom is flying in from Oklahoma, and my daughter is moving back to Utah the same weekend. catch the next one.

[AZRockRunner]

I will try Mt.Ord on the HT to see if I can hit that, otherwise be on simplex.

[bc99xj]

Whats the problem just ask her if she wants to rent a motorhome or rough it in a tent....:looser:.. Tell her its about time after all these years you spend some quality time together just you and her on the trail....Can't get much more together than that... The only reason Im not going is Ive got tickets and a flight and hotel paid for it cali at legoland can't beat the all expenses paid vactions... I wonder if my daughter can fit in the rear seat of a rental vette....:scottm:

themud

[bc99xj]

i already tried asking her to go camping, buy my wife is not about doing any of it. dammit! i think theirs a word for women like her umm oh yeah Ex-wife. hahaha

themud
just trying to help ya as I cant go this year....

C ya there guys

Lata

I drove up today to check out the back way in from Tonto Village... other than a few blown over dead trees hanging across the road (need to be knocked down & cleared) to get a trailer or RV threw,The road is rutted out for about 3-4 hundred yards very doable, also the road is narrow I would suggest sending a pilot driver in first to warn on comming traffic..At the new camp site there was alot of campers some kind of annual event for them approx 20-25 campers... I decided to exit via Huston Mesa road... the road is at its best not rutted out at all the smoothest I have seen in many years & alot more wider.. I have choose to drag my camper trailer in from Huston Mesa road

[AZRockRunner]

Where were the blown over tree's at? The control road was smooth and I didnt think that the 1.5 miles in was that bad. unless things have changed in the past week which is possable. We didnt go back out through Housten Mesa though but its nice to hear that it has been graded and smoothed since it was getting pretty rough.

Things are still kinda up in the air on wether or not we will be there. I still have som eelec problems in RV and my gears are still not done yet in the rock jeep but hoiping to have that all wrapped up in a few days.

[archangel]

Well, after a discussion amongst myself, my buddy Chris and James98XJ, we are going to be there, splitting the cost three ways... We'll be coming up Friday night and staying at a (flame suit on) MOTEL 6 in Payson, and meeting you guys out there Saturday morning.

We'll bring you guys some muffins from the free breakfast...C ya Saturday morning.

Brian, I'll do your gears ASAP, and we'll do our best to get miles on it.

So stop :rattle: and fix the RV, and lets go wheeling in Payette!

[AZRockRunner]

Motel 6, I AM JELIOUS!!!1 hahahaha
Glad to hear that things worked out so you guys can make the trip. Hopefully Trailer Rated will ACTUALLY make a run. I mean, I think his jeep will do fine, its all rocks and no dirt road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yucka yucka yucka!!!

[AZRockRunner]

Does anybody know a good place to fill up 100 gallons of fresh water in Payson? I dont want to drag the XJ up with a full motorhome if I can help it. Last year I filled up at Gordons place and it was nice, but I am going up later than Dave and dont know how to get in touch with Gordon to beg for more water.

Thanks

Where were the blown over tree's at? The control road was smooth and I didnt think that the 1.5 miles in was that bad. unless things have changed in the past week which is possable. We didnt go back out through Housten Mesa though but its nice to hear that it has been graded and smoothed since it was getting pretty rough.

Things are still kinda up in the air on wether or not we will be there. I still have som eelec problems in RV and my gears are still not done yet in the rock jeep but hoiping to have that all wrapped up in a few days.

Lata
Trees are located on fr198
The blown over trees are not a big issue, they are dead trees approx 4-5inch in diameter.(firewood) Hopefully someone will take care of them prior to everyones arrival in two weeks but keep an eye out for them just in case the ruts in the road are a good 8-10 inches deep so if your dragging a trailer or an RV take it slow to prevent damage to any plumbing or holding tanks. Once again the entrance from Huston mesa road is the smothest I have ever seen the only issue would be oncomming traffic traveling at faster speeds I gave 2 dirt bikers & quad a good scare

[AZXJ]

Brian,

I'll chat with gordon to see if it's cool for you to stop in and get water.

Dave

[AZRockRunner]

oh, now see, that would be sweet. I would just need directions to his house. Also, if he aint up for that, then maybe he knows a place in town?

Its almost time boys, I am REALLY looking forward to it this year.

Call Giant Gas station. There is a Giant on 260 and on 87 on the way either direction. Also give a call to Payson RV campgound (I think that's the name). They are just N of Giant on 260 on the opposite side of the road. Could also try the KOA south of town, don't remember the name.

[OddBallXJ]

Dave- would you mind sending me a text or a call prior to Fri 0800 and let me know the status of the roads? Which is better? Thanks. Rick's got me all skeeeeered now :D

Sorry to skeer you or anybody else...........If you driven in the original way before with the ruts & had no issues it is not any harder I just posted this to imform eveyone Just take it nice & slow you will be just fine

[AZXJ]

Man what a buncha panzy's... should I just bring the D9 and grade the road in ? :D


John, I'll text ya when I get to camp.. I'm going in the normal way..

No problems Rick. I'm just looking for the easiest way. I've been in the Houston Mesa path a couple of times. I'll take my 5th wheel where some folks won't take their jeep :roflmao:

[AZXJ]

Remeber folks it's still getting down in the high 30's at night.. Pack the warm stuff and put the soda's in the cooler so they don't explode.. :D Last Oct was fun!!! haha!!

[AZRockRunner]

The soda rockets were interesting thats for sure. It looks like we wont be pulling out till Thursday or Friday morning now. The contractor doing my electrical panel and stuff wont be done till Wed and I am STILL chasing electrical issues in the RV.
Worse case scenario, we come up Friday night, wheel Saturday and head home.
Will keep ya'al updated.

[AZXJ]

All I read was Waaaah waaaahhh wahhhhh... home! :D



get yer shizt fixed and lets wheel !!!

[MarioWario]

i wanna go but im having issues with my t-case.
when its 4lo and i try climbing a rock it seems like it sends all the power to the rear wheels...
i heard it might be caused by misadjusted linkages and i need a new tire or two.
but if i can get it all fixed ill be out there with my friend and his zj

[AZRockRunner]

Well, UPDATE!!! Archangel got my gears installed yesterday but when we went to start it for the test drive it wouldnt start. a fuel pump later and still no fuel pressure at the rail.
Brought it home last night and began working on it this morning. Changed the filter and rubber line and now have fuel pressure at rail and it started but runs like CRAP. misfireing and studdering and just overall NOT good.

I am thinking electrical since I also unplugged EVERYTHING and plugged it back in and also crimped on a new fitting onto the ground of the relay next to the battery.
So, I will continue to troubleshoot it but its not looking likely that I will make the payson run this year. I REFUSE to take a jeep that I KNOW has problems as it is NO FUN for me or the rest of the group.

Wish me luck

Lata

[bigazxj]

well my zuk is still down but i will bring the light rig down for some fun on sat. if i can get the carb working better and find a set of points for it.

it is open difs and 30 in tires i also do not want to dent it (wow ive never said that before) but i think it will be a good time

First, what is the "light rig"? And second, who hacked into Justin's account...? What is this "I also don't want to dent it" ish? :rolleyes: Third, you bringing the hillbilly Bro-in-law and the only black dude in Snowflake? I'm starting to get tempted into making the drive...

the light rig is a 65 L60 nissan patrol,one of 975 soft top patrols imported to this country,there was also 1,641 KL60 hardtops imported but we never got the long wb or the pickup,just like toyota they only imported a swb to this country to compete with the cj5 and the IH scout. but enough weird 4wd history for now,you can have plenty more if you come to payson

chris (hillbilly broinlaw) is not going to make it,cj (one of about 4 black dudes in cornflake) is a mabey

[James98XJ]

I love Nissan Patrols! I want one some day

[AZRockRunner]

Well, new update. After removing the Fuel rail and blowing it out and fixing a few electrical problems, it is RUNNING LIKE A TOP!!! I just took it through emissions and it passed with flying colors. So, I will be driving it EVERYDAY and that should get enough miles to give it a good break in. So, we might make it after all!!!!!!!!!

Come On you still got a few days and plenty more beer to drink to figure this out, don't quit now before we have a few days and plenty more beer to drink.
:patriot:

[AZRockRunner]

oh, I aint giving up but it sure is cutting it close.

[BearWagon]

Is there a fuel regulator at the rail for the return line to the tank, like my 93??? I had some hesitation with my cell before replacing that (after the filter and lines)and thus far all as been good. The kicker is that little BS part is as much as my pump, WTF.

[AZRockRunner]

fule problem is solved. I got good pressure at the rail now. I am going to check the crank sensor tomorrow and do the usual renix crap. I am sure I will find it eventually. If I miss Payson then ohwell, I will go when its ready.

Lata

[A7XJ]

If I was in tucson i'd pull an all nighter for ya. I have nothin better to do.

[aszaunmi]

Camper is on, food is packed... Are we ready to go yet? Im ready to get out of town! Get your rig fixed man, we need things we can dent up there. I dont want to be the only one that smashes something!

[bigazxj]

he had a similar problem a few years ago i never realy had a concrete answer as to the fix but when searching for the problem in my driveway on a trailer at midnight the day before we had to leave for payson. it just started running. my guess at the time was some shit built up in a connector i had disturbed while checking it out it.he has not had any issues since then.

i think it is just payson wheeling that makes his jalopy nervous and it craps out.:flame:

Brian, my rig was dying for no apparent reason. Just would not stay running. Without warning it would stop. But in addition to that, I was having trouble filling the fuel tank all the way. Turned out it was the Evap canister not letting fuel vent properly. Do either of those symptoms sound familiar?

Also it sounds like you turned it off, then it wouldn't start.....then DON'T TURN IT OFF. Payson is only like 4 days away. Shouldn't be too hard to keep her gassed up.:spin1:

[pma4x4]

Wow, I thought I was the only one pulling last minute upgrades/repairs and I thought it was close as of 3 days ago.

Keep going guys.

[pma4x4]

Almost forgot. If i can get it in time. to locate the campsite, look for a AZXJ flag flying high.

More details on Hwy 87 Construction and lane closures. This is direct off of the Tonto NF website

PAYSON, Ariz. (29 April 2009)– The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will close the southbound lanes of State Route (SR) 87 near Sunflower and shift traffic to one lane in each direction in the northbound lanes from May 4 to May 20. The work will begin at 9 p.m. on Monday, May 4 with the closure of both southbound lanes of SR 87 at the junction of SR 188. Traffic will be routed through Globe until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5. At that time one lane in each direction will be opened to traffic in the northbound lanes. A wide-load restriction of 12-feet will be in place for both northbound and southbound vehicles.
This construction activity is part of phase two of the work to repair the highway and slope impacted by last year’s landslide near Slate Creek.
The traffic shift is needed to allow crews to remove concrete barriers and continue other construction work including installation of 12-foot wide drain pipes adjacent to the southbound lanes, and repairing pavement. Speeds will be temporarily reduced to 45 mph during the lane closure, which will last until May 20.
ADOT closed the highway on March 21, 2008 to ensure the safety of the traveling public following a landslide that occurred between Sunflower and Rye near Slate Creek. No one was injured, but the landslide caused sections of the highway’s southbound lanes to buckle and shift, creating an unsafe roadway. The highway was reopened March 27 with one lane in each direction, while construction crews continued making repairs. In May, ADOT opened all lanes of traffic after substantial erosion control and drainage measures were implemented.
Phase two of the SR 87 erosion control project began in early 2009 and includes the installation of a retaining wall on the west side of SR 87 and additional erosion-control measures on both sides of the highway.
ADOT appreciates drivers’ cooperation during this short-term inconvenience and asks motorists to drive safely in the construction zone and be alert for workers and heavy equipment. Motorists are advised to call 5-1-1 or visit www.az511.gov (http://www.az511.gov/) for the latest updates on highway conditions across Arizona.

[AZRockRunner]

Looks like I am OUT!!!!!
Thanks to Rob and Justin for all the OVER DA PHONE assistance.
It appears that the no starting and when it does start the stuttering is in the wiring harness. After much troubleshooting I realized I am getting intermittent and non consistant voltage to the fuel injectors. ( Yes JJ, I found the power wire and voltage is all over the board when I get it )

I am not sure if I am going to attempt to fix this or just tear the jeep apart, take the good stuff and build the 2 door in the back yard which is a 91 HO and will get rid of the renix crap once and for all. I have always wanted a 2 door and a HO motor so I guess we will see what happens.

So, I will be up visiting my Grandson in BullHead city while you guys are out wheeling. Be safe, have fun and I cant wait to see pics.

Lata

[AZXJ]

Did Brian just Krause out ?

[AZRockRunner]

Not sure what KROUSE is, but I have had enough of this $#!T!!!!!

Its only 1 run, once the jeep is fixed or replaced I will be there with bells on.
Have fun guys

I just got home too. For anyone who saw Daves busted heep above.... We got the new ball joints and borrowed shaft assemb back in and got him rolling again. Everyone chipped in and I was glad to be part of a group who helps each other on the trail and off. Thanks for the great time and I hope to see everyone again soon. If not sooner I plan on attending the 10th ann trip if Dave O plans it again.

Happy Trails,

I can't believe how much fun I had considering how much carnage I endured. You have to have a strong stomach (and wallet) to enjoy this activity.

Total carnage:

Broken rear glass :doh:

Taco'd tie rod :wow:

Cut (brand new) Krawler tire :mad:

Snapped rear axle shaft :eek:

Broken driver's side mirror and housing :sad1:

Two broken rock lights :looser:

Anyway, like I said, I still had a blast. Thanks to Jaeger, Bear, Krakka-ass Krakka, Jeep-Pox and Superman for a hella fun Friday night. That night run was the ish.

Thanks to Dave, Pox, Leonard, Bear, Jaeger and Kraker for the help on the trail. I plan on returning to that trail and making it my b-yaatch. See you guys next time. Let's see some pics !

You forgot to mention the out of balance front tires and the 105 degree heat :flame:...

It was a fun ride for me, which apparently went unnoticed and unappreciated. I heard later on that he would have driven my jeep if I let him... Yea...RIGHT.

Hey Marshall, you forgot to mention the 27.00 bucks you gave my buddy Chris for towing your busted junk 100 miles home...That was awfully expensive for you considering all the other carnage you had over the weekend, but we gave the money to the waitress at the bar as a tip...we didn't want your (insult) money. And Marshall, if you're worried about carnage, maybe you should stick to the mall in Gilbert...

I will never tow anyone home again unless they are a close friend of mine...

That's all I am gonna say I am not going to ruin this thread anymore. Now, where's the rest of the pics! Dave, glad you rolled off the trail alright...Get that thing fixed and wheel it harder! Time for big axles!

pm sent. I tried to call you but the # I had for you is disconnected. If you have something to say like that about someone, you should speak to them like a man. Not air it out to make it everyone's business. That is pretty disgusting.

I can't count the times I thanked Chris. I told him that if you got sick of it I'd drive your Jeep for you, he said "James is fine". You are a weird dude, with some serious issues. Most people do nice things for people to be nice, not because they want credit or compensation.

I gave Chris every dollar I had in my pocket, do you want me to write you a check? I just rattled off all the crap that is broken on my rig, and because I forgot to mention you in a posting you blast me like that?

Weak.

Anything else to add?

[stewie]

i am sure someone misplaced some sanity...

[archangel]

Well, I went out this morning and verified what I was fearing...I'm pretty sure I toasted the t-case in the YJ. I guess the 100 mile drive from Payette to Phoenix wasn't good for it when it was leaking fluid. I pulled the drain plug and I cannot feel any fluid. When the whole setup is put in neutral, I can hear a "scary" sound coming from inside the case... Could be fun to fix :eek:. Will have more details tomorrow when I pull the case out.

I'm spending my 1,000 post to thanks for the support. You were definitely missed. You would have loved the Friday night runs. They were the bomb. And even the Saturday run with all the carnage was really fun. The ledges on that trail never end and to be surrounded by pine trees... AWESOME.

[x*BIGASSALEX*j]

First run on the first night............

I gotta thank everyone who gave a hand or offered up specialty tools and supplies, the teamwork got me back on the trail the next afternoon. BUT MAJOR thanks to BigAssAlex and Kraker, Alex offered up his 8.8 shafts without hesitation and Kraker pulled them out of the axle them on his way out of Phoenix.
Thanks again!

Nice job Dave on taking this on,another good time with some good people!! Can't wait to see all the pics.

Ya i took the wife and kids exporing along the east verde to play in the water. It wasn't very deep where we went but it was fine with us since our daughters are only 19 mos and 3 mos.

[JiveTurkey]

Good times, good times; I'm gonna try to make it to the next one. :worship:

[Brandoson]

lol, yeah that's a good shot.

[cdhowell]

No pics of the Filter or the big climb by the water hole. What happened every one broke by then?

[pma4x4]

I left Saturday after Dave got up and running. I suspect the falls were not attempted this year. It was pretty heavy on carnage just getting to the filter this time around.

[Mdub]

this about sums up the entire trip!



LOL, holy moley that is funny !! I don't know how you did it, but yep that pretty much sums it up. It's a nice mixture of "o shit" with a little "ah crap" mixed in. I kind of look like Shaquille O'neal with a half lazy eye and just a sprinkle of retardation.
