Where is grayrock? How far of a drive from Chattanooga? I might be interested if I can have my junk trail ready by then.

If you go and NOS goes, I may try to make it. Maybe caravan down there? It's just outside Birmingham I'm pretty sure.

What else do you need to do to get trail ready?

Towhooks up front mainly. I am still looking around for some. I would like to get my BB on, but its not really necessary. I also gotta get my fuel pump changed. I get pretty crappy engine performance after its been running for about an hour. Would I be able to do the ride on 30" BFG ATs?

I will not comment if you can make it or not, there is stock trails, but after the last nearly stocker on 32" did not end up so good. But if you hang with the smaller guys you should be fine.

You can have some fun. I've been there stock, and now 3 inches on 32's open, and it's fun.
Here I am on The Canyon, I think it's considered "medium" It'd be easier with a locker!

and here is a link to the latest map of the park(some of the guys from CAOS put in some time on it). It's pretty big. 2200 acres.

Ok, I have been building my xj . I rebuilt the motor put the lift on. I got 29 sp axles frome alloy usa should be here tomorrow allong with a true trac. I gotta order 456s f/r I want to lock the front and put some c/m axles in but have'nt decided on locker type. I want to do it right b/c my 2000 tj I broke 7 axles. I have learned to build axles pretty good. Any input on the lockers would be great. It shouldn't take to long to put it together. thats the only thing thats holding me back, but I should be done by then .:laugh:

 

[caglezxj]

If it is a front, you need to run a detroit locker. I sell Randy's stuff, Give me a go at your parts. i have a built 44 with chromo, and a bunch of spare stuff for sale. will give you a good deal, and it is ready to bolt up.

Yea its for the front I was thinking of building up the 30 but that 44 sounds good. What is the 44 geared to,I got myalloy usa axles today 29sp and true track. The only thing that scares me is that the axle is cut down behind the splines.they say that it makes it stronger, but thats where my tj broke its axles. I will call you before I order my next parts.

It is geared 5:13's but I could give you the gears and install kit for what ever gears you want to run at cost. I need this thing gone so I can put all the goodies in my dana 60.

Who is bringing a 110v welder? Who has a small pancake style air compressor they could bring. I am bringing a generator some scrap steel and a cutting torch. We need to get a list up of who is coming and what they are bringing.
