Pete M Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think my truck is plotting against me. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 My oldest daughter is plotting against me. She's borrowing almost all my camping equipment for Wednesday and Thursday night, to have it back some time Friday morning, when I will have to move it all from the Suburban to the MJ. So much for being packed and ready to go Thursday night and leaving early Friday morning. Somehow I'm guessing I will not get there until like 7pm or so, instead of mid afternoon as I was planning.

LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think 95% of the guys (and gals) who are planning on showing up are on GLXJ as well, but I'll post this here just for reference to those who may not be. JUST A REMINDER ABOUT MEETING TIMES!!! We are planning on meeting at the normal meeting area at 10:00 AM (Indiana Time). This is located at the parking lot across from the pond at the BOTTOM of the hill once you enter the park. We are planning on doing things a little different this time as inevitably we always seem to be waiting on someone to show up. Some members drive several hours to be here and are on time; others run into delays getting here. We understand that so were going to give a window. We will meet at 10:00 AM SHARP the 1st time. We will leave to go play for a few hours hitting the rock quarry, sand dunes, etc. for the 1st few hours of the day. If you are late you can find us in the rock quarry. We will than meet up again at the normal spot (parking lot across the pond at the bottom of the hill) at 1:00 PM SHARP for a guided trail ride. If you want to do lunch please do this PRIOR to meeting up at 1:00; we will not be stopping on the trails to break for lunch. We will than finish out the day hitting several trails. For those of you who have not wheeled with us before this is the highlight of the day. So be on time so we don't leave you behind! We run channel 12 on the CB's if you have one and are trying to find us. See you this weekend! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89eliminator Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 another great weekend of wheelin!!!!!!! great to meet up with old faces as well as meeting some new ones. i think almost everyone came away with some sort of damage, including myself. oh well, we were having too much fun to care. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Damage? Wade, a flattened exhaust tip can not be considered damage compared to what some other people came away with. I also like the creativity of some people I won't mention, like happening to have a can of flat black spray paint with you to cover up a rub mark on the wife's ride so she won't find out :D Anyway, I found out my daughter doesn't like to be in a vehicle that's not horizontal, so for most of the ride she was either telling me not to go there, or chickened out and walked up whenever we got to a hill. Toward the very end she did stay in, mostly because I parked beside a tree at the bottom :D and didn't pull away until the hill was clear. As one GLXJ member mentioned, I should have brought a padlock for her seat belt. She did say she enjoyed it, and supposedly wants to come again next year if her big sis can't make it. Tires surprised me. Not only my own, which did a LOT better than i had even hoped: 235/75 snow tires aired down to 20 psi, but also a set of 31" AT radials on a 2 door XJ, that made some pretty tough stuff simply look easy. I also found out TSL Boggers are not the best choice for that property, although they did paint that particular XJ brown in no time flat when he found some mud. I will definitely be back next year, hopefully having the overheating issue fixed with an aux fan, and a 3" lift that I think will make that orange trail a little easier. And the drop off out of the pipes was a lot higher than the pics on the site, as well as Youtube videos show. Then again, according to the trail leader, even as recently as January is was not nearly as high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains those pics. I was wonder why the hell someone would be painting their rig in the middle of a wheelin' weekend. I was thinking that he should not be out there if he is that anal about his rig :laughin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great friends I have.... Just don't' show her this pic, as I told her I'd take it "easy" on her rig. :brows: This is where the scratch happened. Unfortunately that was the least of the damage, a trashed rear bumper, and 2 smashed rockers wasn't as easily covered up as the scratch mark was. Oh well, I had fun showing everyone up in my wife's rig :D. I think I was more pissed about the damage than she was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
