mvusse Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 I forgot about the flag - how much are those? Anyone know? I can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I forgot about the flag - how much are those? Anyone know? I can't remember. they have a couple different choices, most expensive being 20 bux i think. i still have the first one i bought 10 yrs ago to. but its a good idea to figure out how to mount it now, cuz its a pain sitting in the entrance waiting for someone to figure out how to mount your flag. you can also zip tie one to a cb antenna we all have cb's right?

89eliminator Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 yeah i agree with Dave. mounting is key. yup, all of us up here have cb's and we run ch16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 ya, cb's and proper tow points. not to be a jag, but i won't wheel with someone that doesn't have tow points. no metal hooks on straps, and no tieing knots and stupid stuff like that.

mvusse Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 well official rig count is 9, with a maybe for 1 more. Hmmm, I count 7 on WI4x4 (8 if jeepjerry's back is ok), Dave on here, Anthony on JeepSkool and myself. That makes 10, possibly 11 plus the "almost sure".

That makes 10, possibly 11 plus the "almost sure". that list isnt accurate. only couple of guys from wi4x4 are going now and one guy will be meeting us saturday that my dad knows who lives an hour from the badlands.

mvusse Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 sweet action. all jeeps but one are really nicely built too. there will be one stockish TJ. Be aware I'm running half bald street tread 33s on a D35 rear... Although I'm pretty sure it's not C clip, so if I do break a shaft it's not the end of the world. And those 33s still work much better than the 29s did. Add the locker, and okay, I might be considered "nicely built" after all. I do still have to walk over the green trail rock crawl, and dance through the mud by the river bend to get retribution. And I WILL get to that corner wall in the quarry. Even if I have to dig a furrow into the rock bottom with my trailer hitch. 4" more ground clearance, 4" bigger tires, so much more stuff to attempt.

mvusse Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Black gear oil less than a month old, leak at rear axle pinion shaft and inconsistent drive line vibration clued my in my rear pinion shaft has play in it. This will probably end up in all the teeth ground off the pinion gear, which happened to a buddy's TJ years ago. Against better judgement (which I have never had anyway) I am still going to Badlands. I might be in front wheel drive when I get there, though. Thanks to the Aussie I have been able to wheel with a busted front axle shaft before. This weekend I might be wheeling without power to the rear axle... BRING IT ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
