well come out and introduce yourself anyways.  It is always nice to meet other wheelers.

Good deal.  I think I\'ve seen that XJ around a few times.

[wnepwrsteernkid]

oh yeah i will be hoteling it... no primitive camping for me

[MrMindless]

I guess we\'ll be waiting for you in the parking lot Saturday morning then.  I\'m usually not the earliest riser but I\'m usually up there by 9.

It looks good for making Rausch Creek. I\'m still modifying, the front bumper with switch winch is finished, and I managed to get the frame up off the ground a couple of inches with homemade shackles & cranking the torsion bars to the frame. it\'s coming together pretty decent for a low buck 2 week rush conversion. Still have a long list of things I\'d like done before the weekend, but time is getting short. I did cut the plugged cat off, so I\'ll have to get the exaust buttoned up for sure. It would be nice if the spatter burns healed up by the trip. We pulled the little camper out of the weeds. Progress.

Anybody else going to join in? It looks like we are up to 3.

The weather looks good, (Low 70\'s and only a slight chance of rain for the weekend) and it cost only a tad more than a campground to go wheeling for the weekend.

Did I see your Blazer in Bath on Sunday?  There was one that looked like it fit the description but it was wearing Swampers of some flavor not MT/Rs.  Was a dark blue two door with tinted tail lights....

Looking like it\'ll just be the three of us from up here, we\'ll see who we run into down there.  I\'m not sure if the others I know who will be down there would have us tag along with them or not, depends on who ends up there which days I think.  They have an even wider range of \"builtness\" than we do, depending on who shows.

It wasn\'t me, I spent the weekend getting my bumper finished, or I probably would have been there. My S10 is Maroon with the factory 12 hole aluminum wheels. Thanks for the suspension info, clever trick, I\'ll try it.

I WANT to go but it is to early in the season for me still haven\'t pull the jeep out to cheak on it. that and no money kinda hurts my chance to go, probably start working on it this weekend. let me know when the next trip is. I defantly want to go.
