Sounds good.
Any minimum requirements

Ya let's say

-Min 31" tires with good tread. Preferably a good AT or MT.
-Tow points front and rear
-CB...not 100% necessary I guess...but always good to have.

Would love to come out but my Jeep still getting work done anyone got room for a passenger (first time as a passenger person who volunteers to drive me may get jeepjacked as I am starting to jones for some wheeling). My Jeep should be done by end of March and I could return the favor.

Post by: Immortal on February 26, 2010, 03:08:42 PM
isn't the run on Sunday? wouldn't you want to arrange something on Saturday, instead of scrambling Sunday morn?

Thanks for the heads up "DAD"...

I do not know what you need to get ready to be a passenger on a DAY long wheeling trip but all I need is some clothes and drinks...NO NEED TO SCRAMBLE for that.

However, anytime you would like to call (JEEPTASTIC) this weekend go ahead!!!

$.02 not needed!!!

That is just my $.02 ???
Title: Re: Wheelin' this weekend? Feb. 27/28
Post by: SilverTJ on February 26, 2010, 11:12:54 PM
Should we pick a place to meet and a time?

T's too short to be your DAD.  And he has a point, why would you try and figure out a game plan that morning when you most likely have to be out there early?

I was just trying to help you organize your schedule a little better instead of SCRAMBLING at 6am trying to find a ride... possibly you had a type-o? But if you want to handle everything yourself (possibly pissing off your prospective ride in the process) then by all means.... give 'er. I guess that is part of growing up, son.
You sir, will never be offered my $0.02  again.

Good luck.

Yes! back to the wheelin' bit. What time are you guys thinking? Do you know where the Timmy's is in cochrane..?

Im not exactly one for very early mornings...How about we meet at Timmy's for 9:30 and leave at 9:45 - 10.

Thanks for no more .02, I have wheeled with DoubleJ before and know he is not a morning person, and I am up at 6 to drive the old lady to work. I also lice clode to Cochrane which is where most people meet so I could be there before most.

Lived long enough to "schedule" my day.

Besides are you even coming on the ride or are you just one of those people with nothing better to do but chime in on everyone else's discussion.

Wow. Trev was trying to provide some helpful input, but you're obviously not in need of any help from anyone else. That's why you're driving your own Jeep out there, and leading the run, right?

Post by: jeeptastic on February 27, 2010, 08:37:55 AM
Hey Guys I think I might have to back out. I will let you know later on in the day if I can still come. After6Beers I live near the University as well just in St. Andrews Heights so if I can make out I will send you a message and we can figure out where to meet up. Sorry for the late notice.

Oh yeah, I'll be there, don't you worry about that.
Looks like you might have seat troubles now if jeeptastic is out. I have an empty passenger seat... but not for you. You can go pound sand, buddy.
What the hell is "lice clode". That isn't even remotely close to "live close".... sorry son, you'll have to repeat Language Arts.

glad you all had fun! 
we ended up running out to the lake with the Landcruiser club haha, and then out the new trails.  happy to report clutch is working fine. 
Trevors driveshaft is a different story.

glad everyone had a good time!

Post by: w squared on February 28, 2010, 08:57:17 PM
Oh come on now Johnny. Trev's driveshaft didn't actually break...it's still hanging in there. The fact that it sounds like there are a couple of goats that are caught in a barbed wire fence underneath his rig doesn't totally equate to his driveshaft "not working". Or does it...

It was all good, until 84th St... then it started up again. Then the sounds went away by the time I got onto my street.... time to start ripping shtuff apart.... damnit.
