Headin to Reiter on Sat for a shakedown run...

JayH · Nov 19, 2008

Just got the Jeep back on her own wheels and power for the first time in fourteen months. Lookin to hit Reiter to find the spots that will need attention so's I can finish her up. Prolly hit the parking area around 10:00. Would appreciate the company.

Jay, I will be up there on Sunday. I need to re-route my hydro asst line.

You should have fun driving it with no seats. :haha:

slidillon · Nov 19, 2008

Is that a Liberty? How you gonna drive with no seats?

JayH · Nov 19, 2008

Nathen,

I left two wires total running aft of the firewall into the "cabin": one for the fuel pump and one for the electric seats

slid: That's a Grand Cherokee

NateH · Nov 19, 2008

Nice. I have just the wires for my lights going to the rear. I will see you on the trail on a different day then.

I might come out jay--been a long time since we have been at the same spot at the same time :redneck:

notstock · Nov 20, 2008

I remember when that thing was nearly stock.

NateH · Nov 20, 2008

Hey Crash when are you going to follow the leader again? I will be going out Sunday.

JayH · Nov 20, 2008

Sounds good Mike. It'd be reassuring to have you around when the rig falls apart in the middle of nowhere too :redneck:

notstock - Sorry, I can't put a face (or rig) with the screen name. It's still mostly stock :haha:

Is this Dan with the Blue Toyota, works in printing and lives up North of Sultan? yeah, I remember now - he told me his screen name one day up on Index Wall trail. OK

I'll never forget the first time we met. It was on a run organized by Kurt of 2 Big Broncos - my first time running Manastash. We were working our way across the ridge trail from the campground towards tripod flats when he busted a front cv on a hill climb and almost rolled off the mountain. I bet you were hoping that would never come up again, huh Dan?

Money Mark · Nov 20, 2008

We'll be camped at the Rock Garden Friday night. Come wake us up Saturday morning. :redneck:

I knew you would figure it out:haha: It busted going down the hill climb, but yeah, that's pretty much it. Took some creative winching to get it out safely. That was the day I decided it was time to get rid of the IFS. I also remember them sitting around under umbrellas in lawn chairs sipping cocktails while I tried to fix the damned thing. Yelling suggestions while my 15 minute fix turned into an hour plus.:redneck:

Boonie Buster · Nov 20, 2008

I might be out there depending on my schedule, my shakedown run too! I plan to at least maybe go explore a little. Stop and laugh if you see me! :hi:

Aaron

Money Mark · Nov 20, 2008

I'm laughing at you now. Right now. :hi:

WOW! You sure do wheel A LOT!

Wish I could get out but I've dedicated my garage to some "fixes" on the buggy... new wheel studs, replace broken transfer case shifter cable, thread insert/new gasket on the 700R4 tranny, installation of Super Short SYE kit on NP231, waiting on new front axle diff cover from Crane, new heims for a few of the links...

Some could probably do this in 2 days but apparently I cannot...guess I'm just not that driven...oh well, I enjoy drinking beer and staring at parts that need to be installed or fixed :booo:

Guess I could grab the Jeep out of storage.......nah, I'm too lazy
