The February 24th Brown's Camp Wheelin Thread

That would help the cracks from getting bigger but it won't fix them. I am pretty sure these were caused from me beffing up the area that cracked earlier, the old cracks are not getting bigger they are fixed. It is just flexing the frame in a different spot now!! I welded up the old cracks and made my own plate like the C-Rok one I believe it is. Driving on the street is fine but when I am wheeling I hear popping noises that don't sound good.

Yeah, I meant only to stop existing cracks, not fix them.

There was a post on pnwjeep about a guy making a frame re-inforcement plate. Was intended mostly for Jeepspeed. Let me see what I can find here...

5 minutes later...

Those are sweet, I will see if I get anything done this weekend or not. I might have to purchase one of those. Thanks!!
 
i can fix it the crack the same way to did. weld it up and plate it. but if it did not work the first time i dont think it will work a second time.

hit me up need weekend and we can figure out why it is happaning. in all my cherokees i have never had that problem. i was thinking it was in the frame rail area. that what i get for thinking

Hey everybody- I had a great time at browns. sorry I bailed out that fast today but I wasnt gonna let mad max go down by himself w/his tire like that. anyway, it was alota fun cant wait till next time!:yelclap:
 
yup, was a pretty good run, kinda wet tho haha.

I have about 30 pics to upload, they weren't great because we didn't hang out at many obstacles and such, but still good pics of all the snow and stuff.

It was DEEP up high
 
Ok here are the pictures...

Pretty good run, we started with about 10 rigs, then Atownathiest showed up outta nowhere and we were up to 11. Then another guy in a YJ showed up with 3 buddies, then they later broke off.
First some power line trail

Rod struggling to get outta the same spot, I'm really glad he struggled here and I rubbed it in. Mostly because in a few minutes he'll post the pics of me having to be pulled outta there with a towstrap, lol. So when he came up he was holding up his hands as if to mock me, and then he started having troubles getting up the last part of the hill. Made me feel better haha.

Aside from all that they are some pretty good action shots of his rig.

His Jeep was a little monthly. He had a t-case leak he didn't know about til we headed out there.

The snow got really deep up high. It looked really cool.

Towards the end of the day, madmax and one of his buddies decided to play on the Crushers, no one got too far, and madmax broke a window. Pretty hectic under an assload of snow.

Madmax

This is about as far as he got, and that tree on the right broke his window

browns23.jpg

When he hit the tree, it knocked all the snow off, here is Kyle (aussiewheeler) taking a snow shower

This is about the last good pic I got before I fell in the snow and fogged up my camera.
browns28.jpg


This guy showed up right as we were about to leave, he goes by benztoy on here. Jeff lost a rear diff so this guy pulled him out of the snow so we could get him down the road. Hopefully we see him at the next Meet/Greet

Here we were just before we bailed outta browns camp for the day. Doug played on the rocks a little and we went on our way.
