I have no idea who you are directing that question to, as I am DEN, not fing Dan.

I will be at the gate at 9AM Attica time, if you leave Chicago at 8 or 9 you will need to look for us...we may be anywhere by that time.

Sorry about that Dan thing... We'll be leaving Chi-town about 9-ish

We failed to find any of you on Saturday. Xtra-J blew out his shortside axle joint 40 minutes into our day down there; on one of the green trails too. Also did damage to the gears in the diff. Ended up leaving it down there at the shop for them to fix.

Went back today in my XJ to get stuff out of his jeep. Then spent the rest of the afternoon running on the green trails. Will try to post pictures of the blown axle and the trails we ran today.

Ran into some great people that invited us to join in on their run. One person from the run is on this board; from Warsaw, IN if I remember correctly. Will be back in two weeks to pick up Xtra-J's fixed jeep. Thanks to him and his friends for showing us around.
 
Had fun too, sort of. I couldn't "get" anything Sat. Plus my junk broke :(. On top of that the bars in IN won't let you in with your kid. Up here in WI that's no problamo. So I got to miss out on all the bar fun Sat evening.

Got a call from my wife at around 6:30 Sunday night. She went to OH to visit a friend of her's while I went and played at Attica. Anyway, she drove her Jeep all the way there and just got through downtown Milwaukee when her Jeep check engine light went on and the oil pressure went to 0. She pulled over right away and shut the car down. She called me and I told her to try and start it. No go. I had to go down to Milwaukee and strap her Jeep 40 miles home.

I checked the trouble code and it showed no cam position input into the computer. I pulled the oil pump drive (no distributor on '01) and sure as heck there were teeth broken off cam gear. Not on the cam itself but on the oil pump drive. So, no oil pressure and no cam position. I grabbed the one from her old motor and stuck it in. I followed the FSM steps to replace and fired up the motor. Now the motor is making noise and the oil pump drive wobbles while the motor runs (bent cam?). The good news is the motor is under warranty so I should get another for free. Bad news is I have to pull the motor and replace again :( :( :(. I'm thinking when I get the next motor in we'll be trading this POS in.

B-loose
 
Also wanted the mention that kid4life put on a great show at Purgitory. He did a great job of Gettin it. Good show!!!

And thanks to all who helped get my Junk going again. Funny thing is with all the beating my Jeep gets that's what my wife is driving until here babied Jeep is road worthy again.

You might want to add that Scott wasn't responsible for either. (just in case a certain banana colored pile is trolling)
 
It was a great day all around. I knew the gods were smiling when nothing broke on Purgatory but the best was yet to come. On the way back I was doing almost 80 and coming up on a Porche when I saw a county cop coming the other way. He did a U turn and hit the lights behind me. I started pulling over and he went around me and pulled over the Porche.
God loves Jeepers.

Ya know I seem to remember a movie like that; two mustached cops pull over a well endowed blond in a Porche. She'd do anything not to get a ticket...
 
Here is a picture of the axle my friend blew out on Saturday.

Yep, I remember seeing you, you live over in Indiana?

Yes, I had a good time; certainly made up for the day before with the blown axle.
