Well, I booked a hotel room, the NAC express schedule is filling up, and I've already told a friend they can come along for the fun... I'm there either way.

I'm going out of my mind. The MJ ALWAYS gives me trouble right before a trip. I've got a nasty vibe in the front end now. I thought it was the steering, but I fixed a few things there and its all fine. I'm gonna start pulling driveshafts tonight, and I'm getting the tires all balanced tomrrow.

I'm gonna do everything I can over the next few days to track it down and fix it. If I can't, I still might limp it up to RC anyway - just have to stay below 45 mph!

You and me both... my passenger LCA bracket shattered into a pile of rust the evening before the September run at Lobster's, and my AW-4 shit itself the day before the snow run last month. The MJ seems to be treating me a bit better so far, though I left the blower on low and drained my battery so this morning I had to jump it and then discovered I was out of gas. That disaster was user error though :dunce:

I'm coming from Narberth. I take 476 north so if you want to meet anywhere from conshohocken to the lehigh valley exit, you are welcome to. So far it's 2 cherokees and a TJ in the caravan. The more, the merrier.

Hey gents... its a trail ride only now!!!!

See the first post for more info...

Also, it looks like I won't be able to make it this time, just way too many other things happening right now, and the MJ needs a little TLC before another trip in the woods.

Post up who-all wants to go though... it should be a great day to go wheeling in some fresh powder!!!

[kastein]

still gonna be there :yelclap: still won't be wheeling. Not sure if it's going to be just me or me and a friend, though.

 

[imoverit]

Any word on how much snow they got up there? I am in for Sunday!

 

[MrSimon]

JoeV was king enough to climb under my MJ and inform me that my front pinion seal is officially destroyed. The truck isn't going anywhere until I fix it, so I'm out.

Have fun folks and take lots of pictures!!!
