JeepcoMJ Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm all good to go, as long as the truck is. :brows:  you're coming regardless of what shape the 86 is in :P  and no arguing.   anyways thought I'd make it official  july 18, 19, and 20 of 2008. that's a friday, saturday, and sunday. I'll be leaving friday between 10 and noon (along with Joe i'm sure), and heading back late sunday or early monday morning.  -Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 so your wheeling Sunday as well? Â i'll be leaving noon on that friday, wheel all day saturday, come home sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 so your wheeling Sunday as well? i'll be leaving noon on that friday, wheel all day saturday, come home sunday morning.  I'd like to wheel on sunday as well. I'm not going to be with menards too much longer, and though I still have 2 jobs, they will both give me the time off that I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 anyone else thinking of going besides Pat (jeepcoMJ), Joe (beaterjeep), Correy (geonovast), and me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm tentatively thinking of going so I can meet some of you in person. I just know people by their avatars right now... Â Of course that does depend on getting my death wobble fixed, and getting my rear brakes working. Can't wait for that white stuff to melt so I can actually work on it at my house. Â Or should I not even bother with a stock 4.0 on 235/75 15 Wintermark snow tires? (cheaper than M/T and better traction, at least on my old F100 I used to have).

89eliminator Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 if you brought that stock, you would be pleasently suprised on what it could do. i say you should come along, you would be able to keep up with us. if something was to hard for your truck, you can just go around it. no matter what, you will have fun.

beaterjeep Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 If we get my '86 done in time, it'll still be mainly stock, and I'll be taking that. So, the "I have a stock rig" line don't work too well. ;) To make it worse, I'm running with the stock axles and gearing. I'm full well expecting to break at least something, but that's the fun of it, break it and rebuild it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaterjeep Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ah man, there goes that idea; I was planning on breaking a rear axle shaft, the front driveshaft, and rolling it on it's side. :eek: :roll: Â Yes, if any/all of that happens, I'll kick my own @$$ for mentioning it.

Â i suppose i do. you'll be fine as long as its not really muddy which it usually isn't in the middle of July. my dent in the box was caused because it was rutted and extremely slick and it slide right into a tree. i couldn't even stop it from hitting. oh well, its apart of wheelin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 haha  i'll have my dent fixed by then. but...i'm not paying for a paint job ever again. so, i'll spray it myself...and if it gets scratched, i'll just buff it. pssh. when there's not much invested in something it's easier to have fun.

beaterjeep Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 oh well, its a part of wheelin' Â Well said; couldn't have done any better myself. And believe me, I tried before posting this. :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Okay, one more question. I have a fiberglass cap on the back (see avatar). Makes is easy for camping as I'll just throw the sleeping bag in the back. No tent needed. Â But, will that get in the way wheeling? Â Or basically: Â Should I leave it home? Or leave it on?
