Comanche Joe Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I hope she makes it... I'll be leaving NJ tomorrow night heading down to Charlotte... 95 south to 66 west thru VA, then 81 south to 77 straight into Charlotte... Fellow MJ'ers state your location on the map incase I run into trouble!!! Wish me luck... Comanche Joe
Mitch Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 If ya get lost and find your way to Massachusetts look me up! Lol, have fun on your trip!
87manche Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 not a problem, I rode 10 hours to flatnasty, beat the hell out of it and rode back. easy to be a truck, hard to be a Jeep
tjbliley Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Mjeff and I are near Richmond VA so we will keep a look out for you. I don't know if it would change the ride but you could come down through richmond and take 85 all the way in.
Comanche Joe Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 yeah i sometimes go down 95 and cut over at richmond.... I'm gonna try 81 this time...let's see what happens.... anything i should look into before i leave??? i'm gonna top off all fluids and change oil & fuel filter.... i've never drove her more than 90 mins at a time since i got her, and she hasnt been driven in a few months.....
Rokhound Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Just my thought take an extra tire and a set of tools and a coolant bottle if you have one. This is the only issues I have had with mine and good luck.
Comanche Joe Posted April 6, 2007 Author Posted April 6, 2007 uhhhhh spare tire??? whats that???? j/k.... i don't have one but i was planning on picking one up at the local bone yard tomorrow...
Duner Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 Oh yea the thing that hangs under the back of the bed that collects mud and aids traction. I thought it was part of the sophisticated jeep traction control system but your saying people actually use them. I think if jeep had intended us to use a spare they would have designed that space to carry a 37" tire and would not have left so much room for patch kits and fix-a-flat. Yep I'm sure it is just part of the trac control system on my MJ.
mjeff87 Posted April 6, 2007 Posted April 6, 2007 PM-ing you my cell # in case you have any problems. Be safe, and have fun! I-81 is beee-u-tiful country, just watch out for all the truck traffic. Jeff
Comanche Joe Posted April 7, 2007 Author Posted April 7, 2007 well, i made it!!! 9hrs, 15mins.... not bad from jersey... espically with stopping for food, filling up 3 times, and driving thru a nasty snowstorm in VA!!! BTW, took 95 to 85 to 77.... i'm more familar with that route now, time for SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
