I may want a trailer spot from someone if any are available. I don't know if I can justify registering my flatbed for 1 trip. The other option would be stealing the plates off my mom's horse trailer again, but I don't know if that's advisable over state lines.

Anybody thinking about going down for Friday as well? Or just Sat/Sun?

I'd like to get there Thursday night so I can potentially wheel Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday. Somewhat weather dependent but mostly on others in the group.

Talked to Spencer and we would both like to wheel Fri-Sun but will have to play it by ear with work. I don't foresee it being an issue though.

I wanna go wheelinnnngggggggggg
I'll let him chime in, but it sounded like Spencer wasn't going to be able to get the 17th off. Don't see why I wouldn't be able to, which would make the Friday wheelers Mark, Gary and I?

Mike should have my XJ down there Thursday and I will be leaving first thing Friday morning to get some afternoon wheeling in.

Post by: Wingman on August 07, 2012, 03:47:05 PM
Judging from the length, I'd guess a doubler? That would make wheelin' a totally different experience!

Not really a Jeep thing as much as an early Bronco thing haha
Got the floor back together last night. I'm pretty much working non-stop to have this thing ready. When the dust settles I'll have some pics. It's been more of an undertaking than I had originally thought.
I can't wait to go wheeling!!!!!!

Post by: MrMindless on August 10, 2012, 10:14:23 AM
so, who's leaving when?
I've got Josh's XJ on my trailer, haven't made up my mind whether I'll bring my pile or sell the other spot. I'm always a little wiped after a race so it could go either way...
I've got all of Friday off as of now but Josh can't leave 'till Friday morning, and I think most others are Friday morning/noon departures? Not much point in my leaving Thursday night if nobody else is going to be there.

i'm working as an inspector on an offshore construction project out on the lake, so it all depends on weather.
if its going to be bad here on friday and they arent going out, i'll be leaving thursday whenever i get out (around 7PM). otherwise its most likely leave here at 7PM Friday. ugh late.

Got Friday off and will be heading down Thursday night. Hoping to leave around 3-4 and usually takes me 5hrs beginning to end.

Ok, now I'm ready. Like, REALLY ready. My building to wheeling ratio is favoring the building side a lot right now. Ideally it's a 1:1 ratio, so I need to even it out.
What time are the other Thursday nighters planning on getting in?

Post by: Wingman on August 13, 2012, 08:26:32 AM
11p. It'll be past my turn-into-a-pumpkin time. Drive in, park, sleep.

Almost ready myself. Rear bumper and hitch receiver all off waiting for my gas tank skid. If Mike takes my XJ down thursday, I'll be leaving between 6 and 8 AM Friday morning. If he take's it down Friday, I'll just be following him. I've definitely got the itch to go wheeling.

At least a few people planning to wheel Sunday till mid afternoon like usual? My Mom and sister were planning to come down then.
i'm in as long as i dont break saturday. looks like i'm working till 7pm-ish friday, then will drive down after. will be ready to rock and roll (just rocks, no rolling) in the AM.

Is a 9:00am start about right for the wreck wheelers? Not set in stone, just ballpark. I know some of us are early risers...
Those who arrive later in the morning or early afternoon Friday, call or text my cell and we'll either come back to camp and get you or meet somewhere in the trail system.

Had a great time. I like being in the woods on moderately hard trails and watching the big boys beat up on those big rocks! Minor carnage: leaking front diff, tree scrape, funky ragtop problem (those LJs and their "sun rider" roof!). Campfire conversation was enjoyable, too.
Thanks to all for their patience and support!

Very rough race in all regards, for all involved. Great wreck wheeling Friday and Sunday! Shame my pile needs so much TLC on the whole - for the way I've treated it the past 2-3 years it sure doesn't owe me anything.
Last oil change was 4/19/11, since so many of you were wondering. :-)

Awesome weekend of wheeling. Sorta sucks not being in the area much at this point in time, but I'm glad I can still meet up with everyone and hit the trails. You guys are a great bunch to wheel with.
It was awesome to see the Dak back out in action. Bummer Spencer and I couldn't blame our D30s for our trip-ending carnage but oh well. I'll still gladly take a day out on the trails in a passenger seat over sitting here in this cubicle.
When are we going back???

Club picnic next Saturday Big Dogs Main Jambo 9/15 Big Dogs Fall Crawl 10/20 I'm definitely going to Rausch for the November 10th multi-discipline race, one way or another http://www.rc4x4.org/rcforum/index.php?topic=16354.0 (http://www.rc4x4.org/rcforum/index.php?topic=16354.0)
I'm psuedo-planning on going to Rausch over Labor Day, been talking about it over on Right Coast a bit. Nothing firm yet.
And I know I typed this, I have no idea where it went. Thought it was intended for here, so I musta closed that before I submitted. Oh well - sorry if it's a dupe somewhere

I know Smike is planning for Main Jambo, and Mark sounded like this was going to be a one VA trip year for Mark (maybe two with a little prodding?) If there is any interest in the Fall Crawl, I'd love to do that as the final hoorah before my tear down for wontons. Maybe I'll start a new thread.
