Anyone up for wheelin next SAT (22JAN)? Last couple runs lots of people said "I'm in!!" but almost nobody showed at Sonic......
I'm going because I've got a friend coming in from out of town and I've got to test out the new lift and 35's.
Ill meet you at Sonic at 10 AM as long as you buy the cheese burger
My HEEP is still down or I would be in.

Don't know yet... I sealed the transmission last night. Haven't driven it yet. Work is cutting into my schedule. I will check it out this week some time. I have a gear set here at the house for a 30, but it is a 4.56... prolly not what we're looking for.
I found a D30 rebuild kit for $75, but I've been told it is a shit ton of work and I'd be better off just picking up a new D30 at the JY.
If I am going to pick up a new axle I would rather upgrade, so I have been looking for a D44 front. I don't know what I'm doing yet.

Hey Matt, call Get Ugly, the owner Gina is getting rid of her D30..........not sure what gears she has in it though....
I'm thinking I just leave the HEEP in the driveway for the next month or two while I save up for beefier axles and lockers. Then when the 33's are toast I can upgrade.
I am putting Jay in charge of finding me axles :D Thanks Jay.... but which ones would be best for me? My front is driver's side drop, by the way.
http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/pts/2166747608.html driver's side drop

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/2140500235.html Some randoms...
Just for a few...
I called them and they are all passenger side drops except for MAYBE the J10. He is double checking and getting back to me. He wants $800 for both axles, wheels, and brand new 31" tires. I could use the tires for the Durango, so that would work out.

If I had 2200 these would be under my YJ.
Rubitron
01-18-2011, 20:21
The bottom set, from the Dodge, are a smokin deal. 800 for both 1-ton axles, do it.
jaredmcvay
01-18-2011, 20:21
What about the matched 60 and 80 for 800? That almost seemed too good...
Rubitron

You mean if Matt had 2200?
I actually talked to one of the guys in Wilmington that Jay posted earlier. He didn't have any that were driver's side drop, but gave me the # to another guy. He returned my call a bit ago and said he has a set of D44's for me for $450 or $500 with the 8 lug wheels that go with it. I want to call Gina tomorrow to see what she has or can get. The guy said that he talked to Gina a week or so ago. When he gave her a price for a front 44 for her rig she said she can get them at a JY for $100 up here somewhere and turned his offer down.
I can maybe pull $800 out of my ass, but I want to make sure I'm not getting shite.

Either way. When I build my next rig it will be 60/C14.
good for you Nick
Here is a 44 front and 12 bolt rear....

So go figure, right after the household 6 gave me the green light, I find out that my brigade is going to the field so I'll be stuck at the motorpool all weekend working on trucks. Gay!

If I had a place to put another vehicle I would have that MJ.
I just want the front axle out of it.
As of now I will be coming down on Saturday. Still meeting at Sonic at usual time?
GOVT1911
01-21-2011, 16:29
Yup. gonna be a few of us there. Me, a guy I work with wants to bring his Taco out, George with his school bus and Gina from Get Ugly said she's gonna try to come out and play. I've got a friend that is jumping in with me, too. Nick said he's going to try to get his seats mounted tonight and if he does, then he'll be out. Jay and Dave keep whining about needing to work on rigs, but I'm trying to get them to come play first.
I should be at Sonic NLT 0930, gotta get a nice greasy bacon/egg/cheese crossant before we roll out.
anyone have an open seat or 2?

Nothing wrong with being mellow, George! Looks like we should have a decent turnout. The dumps is getting kind of old, maybe we'll run around there and try to find some new trails after we hit the basics (sandbar, bowl, step).
AK98ZJ5.9
01-21-2011, 21:18
where else is there local.... sorry.. new guy here
Rubitron
01-21-2011, 21:39
There is so much more to the dumps. When I laid mine over we were just driving on trails, I have no idea where we were, if we just drive around aimlessly I'm sure there's other cool stuff left to find.
When I laid mine over we were just driving on trails Just saw that on youtube today. That was crazy! why do I miss the good stuff?
Thanks guys i had a good timehopefully we can do it again soon. Ohhh and john good choice on the chick shes pretty cool even when i was being an ass

01-22-2011, 18:54
I had a good time too! Wheelin with friends is always a good way to spend a day. I was pretty happy with the stuff I've done to the Green Jeep lately, it went ALMOST everywhere I wanted it to today! George, thanks for the little pull out of that mudhole, I was tryin but no way I was gonna make it out without help.
Yeah, she's a pretty good chick, but we're just friends, which is good for me now. She had a good time and will be out again.

I was pretty happy with the stuff I've done to the Green Jeep You talking about that brown one you drove home? I have to say, it was pretty impressive. I meant to ask, does it still have a 4 cyl? how was it for power today?

Yup, that mud was deceptively thick...like loose concrete! I could move slowly front and back about 10 feet, but then it just grabbed onto the frame and held me there!
Rubitron
01-23-2011, 09:57
I thought I'd try it too, but as soon as I got in it I was completely stopped. I had no chance. That was some super thick cake mix.

ha... i wouldnt go within 15 ft of that hole... maybe someday after i water my jeep and she grows big and tall...

john had to keep his foot on the skinny pedal just to keep the mud from creeping up his tailpipe!
i had an awesome time guys, can't wait to go back out. are there any other spots nearby that are good for wheeling?
GOVT1911
01-24-2011, 08:25
Danny,
not really. I mean, I'm sure there ARE some decent wheeling places around here, we just haven't found'em! Guys go out and play around Mott Lake, but technically that's a no-no. No wheeling, but you ARE allowed to go fish the lake, so if you happen to be driving around looking for a fishing spot.........
so if you happen to be driving around looking for a fishing spot.........
LOL @ 15 Jeeps trying to find a fishing spot!
^^^^ with no fishing poles :D

Wheeling on Saturday was definitely a lot of fun. I hope we can get together again soon. To add to the pictures of the event, I wanted to share the route tracks with the group. I've attached a KMZ file which can be opened with Google Earth and you can see the various tracks we took throughout the dumps. Also attached are a few photos. Google earth is a free download from www.googleearth.com Download the KMZ file and it should open up google earth automagically! John, thanks for introducing me to the group and for pulling my ass out of that black mud!
http://web.me.com/carieandgusmendiola/carieandgusmendiola/Jeep_Stuff_files/The%20Dumps.kmz
Save this file as TheDumps.kmz and open with google earth. Let me know if you can't access it.
Gus
crap... no google earth at work.
