I dont know about that... there were some obstacles that made my jaw hit the ground.... We just had stock jeeps in the crew and ran mostly mild stuff...

What? ME freak out? I am NEVER nervous while wheeling... LOL.
Well, I can try to get up there to check out the campground but it sure won't be this weekend because it is snowing like crazy and we are expecting over a foot of snow. I will ask around and see what I can find out in the meantime, OK?

There are only a couple normal round ones and then there are these dumb oval shaped ones that are all painted over and you have to bust thru the paint to pry them out. Anyway, it was quite a job but looks 200% better now. I was looking at the tires-they are 245's on 16 inch rims. SO what is a 245 equivalent to in terms I can understand? They look about the size of 31's to me. You know, that sounds awful small to me. Maybe I looked at it wrong and they are 295's. I guess I'll have to check again. Duh.
Sounds like its been a bit.. uhh.. mistreated? Hope you got a good deal at least.

Sheck the connector/harness to it... accessible from the drivers rear fender well. You'll have to drop the tank to change the pump... a couple guys (or one guy and a good floor jack) can drop the tank in short order... so yeah, it's possible to do it one day. Check that fuel pump is getting power, etc. first though.
Also, check the fuel rail to see if it is pressurized... schrader valve on the fuel rail... that'll tell you for sure if pump is working or not.
Good luck! Wish I was that close to being able to leave tomorrow morning with my jeep to wheel[:I]

I know this will sound cliche, but they do taste just like chicken.
One of our local Chinese buffets has them, usually lightly breaded and deep fried.
So, if they taste "just like chikcen", then why not just eat chicken

I dont think i'm going to be taking any vacation time for this. Just the weekend off. So i'll be getting there Friday night sometime. I get outa work at 5, gotta go home, load up the jeep if i dont get it done the night before, take care of any last minute stuff, then _find_ whatever camp site we're going to.

Officially, I ain't gonna be there to ride bitch. A major milestone for the development/release of my new product is now the week of July 2. Means next week is gonna be alot of work and the following week is all out.
Sucks... even though I officially have Friday and Monday blocked off as vacation, I can't, in good conscious, blow out of there and leave my team to do everything. AH well, guess that's why they pay me the "big bucks", LOL!
Have fun! Next year, I'll have my junk ready to wheel

Here is some info for you from the RC website's FAQ:
How much does it cost? We require all persons 16 and older to become members of the park. The membership costs $10 and is good for a year from the date you join. This membership requirement applies to passengers as well as drivers. Once you are a member, the daily entrance fee for the vehicle and its driver is $30.00. Passengers are $5 each with children 15 and younger free. Included in your daily fees is free primitive camping. See Membership Application page for the membership application and parental waiver. All children 17 and younger require their parent to sign a parental waiver. We do not accept credit cards (cash or check only). For our frequent visitors, we offer some specials. A Frequent Driver Pass for $100 which is good for five visits, or a Season Pass for $250. We also offer a weekend special 2-day pass for $50
I want to visit, can I just show up anytime? We are open year-round. There are times when members will be required to make a reservation for their visit which is explained more fully below. From April 1st through November 30th, the office will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 8 to 10 a.m. for our members to check in without the need to have made a reservation. If you wish to visit from Monday through Friday, then you must contact one of the officers so we can make arrangements to check-in your group and open the gate. From December 1st through March 31st, we are open on a reservation only basis.
THE MINIMUM GROUP SIZE IS TWO VEHICLES. When setting up a ride with your friends and fellow club members, it is advisable for one person in the group to be the official contact person. If everyone exchanges cell phone numbers with each other, than late arrivals can be dealt with in an orderly fashion. The contact person will be the one responsible to schedule the ride and to check-out at the end of the day with one of the officers. UPDATE September 06, the minimum group size is two vehicles. Keep in mind if one of the two vehicles breaks down, you cannot continue on alone, you will either have to call it a day or find another group to join.
What does making a reservation involve? The Off-Road Park is a non-profit organization and we do not have the means to have the park office staffed seven days a week. Therefore, during non-peak times we need to know in advance that your group wants to visit the park. We have three club officers who are available by e-mail and phone. Typically you will be able to reach or hear back from one of the officers within a day of your contact. All we need to know is that you are planning on coming to the park and approximately what time you expect to be there so we can make arrangements to open the gate and have your group checked-in. We do not require a deposit.
Does our group need a trail guide? It is not a requirement, but if your club is visiting for the first time, you may want to have a guide to show you around. However, the trails are well-marked and groups are provided with maps, and we have found that most people are able to navigate themselves quite well on their own. If you wish to have a guide, ask for one when you schedule your visit. The cost for a trail guide is $135.

Hersheypark is awesome--tons of roller coasters and other rides too. They have water rides too. The new coaster is called "Storm Runner" and I didn't get to ride it last season yet. It goes from a dead stop to super fast in like a second or something. LOL. My favorite coaster is the Lightning Racer where 2 coasters race each other. They also have the Great Bear which is a coaster where your feet dangle. The Comet which is an old wooden coaster. The Sooper Dooper Looper which is an old one too--it goes upside down---woooooo! It is fun though. ALso there is the Sidewinder which goes forwards and then stops and goes backwards. The Wild Mouse which is one of those jerky coasters that goes around corners fast and you feel like you are going to fly off. And there is the trailblazer which is a mellow coaster in the shade in the trees. I think that is all the coasters. Oh there is also a zoo called ZooAmerica which is included in the ticket fee. The park is GREAT--I love it there.
Knoebels is nice too but I haven't been there in years. The big difference is that it is free to get into Knoebels and you pay as you ride. It isn't as big as Hersheypark but it is a good park too.

Assclown showed up to jaocmj1 on a roll back. sometime in the wee hours of the morning. 2AM iirc.
At jaocmj3 (which is where that pic was taken), his jeep caught fire... twice... and was clutchless all day. It was after this trip that i had the assclown disaster prevention team stickers made up.
I got two for my jeep, and pete bought about 10 from me, in misc. colors. The intent was that whoever helped save rob's jeep from becoming ball of flame that day, got a sticker. I got one because my extinguisher was used to put out one of the fires. Pete got the others because.. well... because he's pete.
We ended up towing him out of the park because he was overheating from driving around in 4-low/1st gear all day.
To be fair, Pete showed up to JAOCMJ1 at 5AM, with a barely running cj. Saturday morning he and Spirit swapped the carb, and he spent the entire day tinkering with the carb. Sunday morning he decided to gap his sparkplugs in the parking lot at red ridge.
I think trish, trav, and I were the only ones NOT working on our jeep's BEFORE hitting the trails that year.

What engine does tom's jeep have? If its a 4.0, i'd definately consider 4.56's at least. My 4.10's on 33's are just about pefect, i'd think that if i jumped up to 35's (which will happen eventually) i'd like 4.56's.
Who drives a jeep on 35's 80mph anyway? 
Go to 4.88's if you go to 35's, 4.56 is not quite enough, IMO.

I'm just getting home. Just took my time. After we split off yesterday, Jake took the 5 remaining to a few good rock gardens. I thrashed another flare and Scott inverted a spring hanger that we couldn't seem to get back straight, spring still looked good.
I had a fun weekend. I didn't take many pictures, do to me being gimp, but I did take a few of Jake trying to climb this sick hill. Tyler you would have been all over it even in 2 wheel drive.
Nate, if you set me up an account I'll upload them after class tonight.

Sorry guys, i cant make it.
After a long frustrating day of working on the jeep, i threw in the towel and sold it, then i threw away my wheeling hat, and replaced it with one of those pink baseball caps with the flat brim.
Then the next day i was so depressed about selling the jeep, i tried to slit my wrists. but i didnt cut deep enough, so luckily i'm still alive. But i'm in the mental ward at Lehighton hospital.
Sh!t, gotta go, theyre coming to check on me. They'll be pissed if the find me online.

I'm all about the original date, June 29th i think it was... but dont change it on my part... I will try to make it whenever. Just seemed like a great date since the holiday falls in the next week and i can get a whole week off work by taking 2 days off, etc...
That way i can relax and travel without speed and stres, etc.

AS much as I hate to say it, Count me out (I could still show but count on me not) with gas prices and the Graduation and the wedding poping up and I have to Stay in Maine for the week.and now the corse at the Church and its almost a month away I just can't see me haveing the cash to do all of this with todays gas prices and as many miles as I have to log in this month!
Now renting a mini van to go to Maine so its gets better gas milage. because it haveing better gas milage will balance out the 4 doors extra cost in fuel and if somethign fails I can just call the rental place, not have to fix and pay for it my self

Ummm I think it would be fine to take your trailer down to unload it, but you have to park it in the staging area because the way the campsites are set up, trailers would take up room needed for other campers. The campsites are in the woods, see, and there may not be a lot of room for trailers. I have only driven past the campsites--I haven't been thru the woods to check them out. I will email Lynn to check, OK?
I could maybe make a sign. I don't know if I will be camping though. I also don't know if I will have a Jeep that runs...

2007 Paragon Adventure Jeep Jamboree Update!
There have been some unexpected but exciting changes in the venue for this year’s Paragon Adventure Jeep Jamboree scheduled for June 1-3, 2007. The existing land that the Paragon Adventure Park was operating on has been sold. However, owners and Paragon Adventure local coordinators Kyle & Stephanie Knosp have been negotiating with landowners in the vicinity to secure some new trails and the prospects are looking great. New information will be released to participants as it becomes available but the trip is a definite go!

Just kidding. Why dont we put the dates out for everyone to decide on? Instead of picking between Art or CW. We'll see which date MORE people can make it on, and make it that date.
As it stands, i could make any of the dates proposed, though it would be easier if it was the weekend of the 23rd for me. as i work (and am on-call) the weekend of the 16th, and the 30th.
BUT I'm 99% sure i can switch with the other admin for just about any weekend we might decide on.

The turkey should be completely defrosted and dried of excess water and turkey schmutz and then season it with an even mixture of salt, pepper, and season all salt gentlely rubbed in all over the bird.
I think two is going to be overkill. The last two trips we had leftovers that had to get tossed and seeing as though we are going to be at a primitive campsites, I'd be worried about having meat laying around (bears) and packing out a greasey turkey carcass.

Clutch isnt _that_ hard to replace.
You just need to disconnect your shafts, drop the tcase, disconnect your shifter, drop the transmission and bellhousing, replace the clutch, put the trans back in, put your shifter back on, put the tcase back in, reconnect your driveshafts....
Simple!
Good luck with that.

Really glad to hear it.
Ever try any of the "cask strength" single malts from the top-shelf distilleries? Good stuff
Can't say I have. Got some suggestions?
Working on a fifth of The MacCallan now... probably the best cask strength I've tried so far. They run around 120proof... what the whiskey is when it comes out of the cask after aging. The distilleries water it down when they bottle it or sell a small amount as "cask strength"... I really lke the much deeper flavor of it... over ice and the ice melting "tempers" it a bit. Very good sipping
I've got a pretty good collection of good whiskeys going (mostly bourbons, scotches, and irish)... you should pay a visit some time
Oh yeah... I got the gas tank pulled and the pump/sender unit and hoses all transfered over to the Genright cell tonight. Pulled the rear flares and tailights off so I can mock up the stretch corners. Now I just need another set of hands to help me get it all in place and clamped/bolted in. Slowly but surely my junk is coming back together[:I]

I did some "research" at work today.
If we have as much fun as these guys did at Rausch Creek, it aughta turn out to be a good trip
Did you call the camp ground yet rob?
I called Red ridge the first... 3 years iirc. Ive paid my dues.

It's a bit of a haul from where you are at, but Elias 4WD Center in Townsend is a good shop that I try to pimp recommend. I had them do R&P installs and some other bigger work for me before I had a garage.
If you are interested, I have RE stuff - 4 LCAs, rear UCAs, and rear trackbar+bracket. It's used, for sure, but all the joints still have life left in them and nothing is fawked. I keep meaning to post all my old short arm stuff up for sale but I never get a chance.
Oh, and when you re-gear, get nothing less than 4.88s... you're 4 squirrells will thank you

OK! We will be there plus 1, a little one, it doesn't seem like it is going to be hot so we are going to bring her. Camping might be fun, she has already camped out on our sailboat, but not in a tent yet. Please let us know if there are any last minute things anyone needs.
My cel is 908-319-6420. Parts, fuel, food etc. Do NOT hesitate to call. What food sould we bring for the feast....Keep it simple guys... Where are you going to be camping, Jake and I wanted to set up our tent on our trailer to get off of the ground, are you camping in that area, is anyone else trailering?

couldnt do anything to the jeep, I needed to jack it up, take the tires off, and get under it to reach some of the stuff so i quit.

I'll defer to your judgement Jenny, you have after all seen the place. I have no problem with primitive camping. What better way to get to know someone than to smell their two day funk?  However, I will leave it up to everyone else, because a shower a day keeps the gnats away.

OK, I have some rocks for you. These pictures were taken on Yellow Jacket Ridge. See my Jeep safely sitting at the bottom of the hill? The rocks go all the way up the hill and then it is pretty clear at the top. Then you have to go down the other side, but I didn't get pictures of that. This might look easy to a lot of you, but it looked pretty intimidating to me. I would like to try it with a good spotter though.:

I am working on the pics I took today. I am sending them to myself again.
I would be ok with staying at RC and showing at Jenny's then we wouldn't have to trailer the Jeep, well I wouldn't anyways Mine would be plated and insured with MI plates and PA can kiss it when they pull me over!

INFO FOR YOU TO READ ABOUT CAMPING: (I just cut and pasted from the RC site). Please read...
Camping & Local Lodging Info
Camping:
Rausch Creek allows its members to camp on the property overnight when they visit the park to wheel. Here’s some information about that. Please keep in mind that Rausch Creek is an off-road park first and foremost, the camping is a benefit of your membership. We require advance notice about your group’s camping. Once your group decides on a date to visit the park, the group leader should contact Lynn to schedule the visit. We need to know when you’re arriving and whether you have trucks with trailers, or are tent camping out of your trail rigs. Our primary camping area has two areas, one is better suited for members with trailers, and the other for tents and trail rigs. Information about how to access the property will be given to the group leader who can then coordinate everything with the group. The camping is primitive. There is no running water. During the camping season, we have a few porta-potties located at the main camping area. NEW WAIVER. In addition to the usual membership application that everyone age 16 and up fills out once a year, there is now a check-in waiver form required by our insurance company. This is simply a form that you “print your name, sign your name” on. This form must be signed by everyone each day that they are in the park. So if you are camping and arrive the day before you go out wheeling, before you set up camp, please stop at the office and sign the new form. This must be signed by drivers and passengers. The clipboard will either be on the front porch, or it will be in the filebox under the window. If anyone in your group is new to the park, they can sign the check-in waiver, and then the following morning take care of their membership when they come to the office to check-in. Once your group enters the park, you’ll see our office building on the right, and the staging area up on the plateau to the left. Straight ahead is a Pole Line Road that leads directly to the main camping area which is called the Pole Line Camp. There are two areas, PL Camp 1 and PL Camp 2. The first area is next to a gravel parking lot so trucks and trailers can set up close to the tent area, and the porta-potties are located close-by. Drive past PL Camp 1 and down at the bottom of the hill is the second area where you can park your rig next to the woods and set up camp. See Page 3 of this newsletter for the latest map of the camping area. BEFORE YOU PROCEED TO THE CAMP, HOWEVER, EVERYONE IN YOUR GROUP MUST SIGN THE CHECK-IN WAIVER THAT WILL BE ON THE FRONT PORCH OF THE OFFICE. FAILURE TO SIGN IT MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CAMPING PRIVILEGES. RV’s and large campers should set up camp in the staging plateau. The view from the top is excellent.
These are the basics:
Alcohol is permitted ONLY AFTER you are done driving for the day. We take this rule seriously and any infractions will result in loss of membership and possible sanctions against your group as well. Pack in and pack out your trash. Burn what you can that is burnable. Do not leave GLASS, ALUMINUM, or other JUNK in the firepits. Use the established firepits. Do not set up any campfires under the pole line. Check-out time is 10 a.m. Prior to 10 a.m. your group should have checked-in at the office to go out wheeling for the day, or your group has checked-out. Leave the camping area clean. If you arrive and find a mess left behind by a previous group, report it to the office so you don’t get blamed for it. Dogs are welcome. Clean-up after them if they make a mess in areas where people will be walking or setting up camp. We try to keep the camping area stocked with firewood. However, there is plenty of firewood throughout the trail network, if everyone in the group grabs a couple pieces, you’ll have a nice supply for your visit. There is usually some firewood stored behind the office as well, available by donation. Although we require advance notice about your group’s camping, during most weekends the camping is on a firstcome, first-served basis. There is plenty of space if everyone cooperates and sets up camp so as not to waste a lot of space between tents and vehicles. Driving a full-size truck with trailer, RV or pop-up into an area that is meant for tents is the type of thing we frown upon. So when your group comes to visit, please keep in mind that other groups may be arriving as well and everyone needs to work together to share the space. Occasionally there may be large group events scheduled and you will be informed of that when you schedule your visit. Other options for camping would be to visit one of the private campgrounds in the area. The closest one to the park is Echo Valley. They are located about 10 minutes away and provide a group camping area as well as individual sites. They are open year-round and have RV’s for overnight rentals. The owner of the campground has been very receptive to our groups having bbq parties and doing necessary wrenching as long as some basic rules are followed (clean-up fluid spills, no excess noise late at night, etc.). The Xterra club has held an event there the past three years with approx. 40 to 50 vehicles. Another campground is Camp-A-While located 5 miles north just off the interstate. This is a very scenic wooded campground. They are open April to October. About 15 miles south, near Pine Grove, is the Twin Grove KOA Campground. They have heated camping cabins, banquet facilities, and so much more to keep your family occupied.

Guys, its 2 days!
Get a shower before you leave for the trip. Then get one as soon as you get home. Minimum funk time.
Bring soap and a basin, and some jugs of water so you can wash your face and hands at the campsite. This really isnt that big a deal.

Ioman2 you should definately come out to this...we always have fun! Plus the park has trails for all types of rigs, from stock on up. I am always willing to do the more mild trails if there are some people wanting to. I did notice that the group minimum for Rausch Creek is only 2 vehicles, as compared to Paragon where it is 3 vehicles.
How many pages is it that we are trying to get with this thread?
I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on camping. Do you want to stay at Rausch Creek for free with no running water or stay somewhere else? I put a link to campground stuff on the other JAOCMJ thread, wherever that went.

Well here is my nice little update. My Jeep still won't start and now Tom's Jeep needs new gears, so it is going to cost us a boatful of money to get the damn thing fixed. We are trying to figure out what gears to get. It has 35's on it and still gets up to 80 on the highway. What gear ratio do you think we should get? We are thinking 4:88's but we do still want to be able to drive the thing on the road.
I'm glad everyone had fun! So did everyone like Rausch Creek?

Thanks I'm stil learning... booger some shit up now and then, but it's becoming quite infrequent.
Cool stuff on getting your jeep done... watch it, those lockers can get you into trouble faster, and in ways you never expected. First time out locked front/rear, I came about 1* from rolling over backwards... never even saw it coming, I had traction so I stayed in the skinny pedal
Looks to be an awful nice day today... debating on whether to continue working on the jeep or work outside... got all the material to make Megan a new 4x8 cedar sandbox and also have a pool to open. Decisions, decisions.

So far since last year ive put on warn rockers, currie front bumper, SRC bumper and tire carrier and plan to purchase at least a rear locker, but both probably. Any Definate word on the campsite or still in the air?

Read and learn: http://www.jeeptech.com/javaAps/conv.html

How to Convert Metric Tire Sizes
Metric tire sizes are made up of four components: prefix, width, aspect ratio, and wheel size. It takes three of these components to calculate the diameter of the tire. It sure is not a very straight forward sizing convention.
The prefix is used to indicate general use of the tire. The tire input field trys to ignore the prefix and if your prefix causes an error, just don't input it. The Gear and Tire Applet currently will successfully ignore 'P' for passenger car and 'LT' for light truck. When in doubt, drop the prefix.
The width simply the width of the tire in mm. For example the tire size P215/75R15 has a width of 215mm.
The next component is the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is the percentage of the width that makes up the sidewall of the tire. In the above example the aspect ratio is 75 or 75%, so the sidewall height is 75% of 215 or 161.25mm. If you want the diameter of the tire, you need to take into acount that the diameter of the tire passes two sections of the side wall. This means the sidewall takes up 161.25*2 or 322.5mm of the diameter.
The next component is the wheel size. In the above example the wheel size is 15". If you convert the total sidewall into inches you get 322.5mm*0.03937in/mm or about 12.6". Add that to wheel size and you get the diameter 15"+12.6" is 27.6". So a P215/75R15 tire has a diameter of about 27.6".
Youngons will learn one day os old farts know what were talking about some time!

my battery is just fine thank you very much...we3 is having trouble with his......but the rest of what you said makes sense.....pretty much what I did a few years ago
im going to start it and let it run tomorrow. Then I will drive it to my property that we will be living at in a couple of months. Its about 9 miles away. With Morgan going to my parents house in South Carolina for 3 weeks I should get time to do some wrenching on it....I hope
Maybe it can sit up there without someone stealing parts off it

Holy crap it was hot today. I almost got everything I wanted to get done, done. Just a few minor issues I didn't get to. The jeep is loaded on the trailer and ready to go. I just have to pack the coolers and the suitcase.
I picked up a bunch of firewood today. At least enough to get us through one night. Two nights if we keep Nate away from the fire.
Now I'm off to go boil 2 dozen eggs for deviled eggs.

Does that mean the frier's coming?

Any idea how hot that frier gets?

Hi all long time no posts!
Well, Jake and I are going to try to make it. My Jeep is acting up, it shuts off when it gets warm. Jake is now checking all of the sensors that actually work! Thought it was a fuel issue, so now I have a new gas tank,an awesome inline fuel pump, the race car kind. Oh well, I'll try to keep in touch. We really want to go.
BTW, they are cutting trails near Red Ridge!

The 910 has a 20G hard drive, I use it like a portable flash drive. Also can play video if you buy the player.

I suffered a set back yesterday. I tore the meniscus in my right knee. I can barely walk right now, more or less hop in and out of the jeep or work on it. They are talking orthoscoptic surgery. I'll have to see how I am when June rolls around. Luckily, I don't have much to do to the jeep. I do have to build some drive over fenders on my trailer.
I'm not backing out as of right yet. But, it is looking like I may have to. The military medical system isn't the fastest organization around.

Just so you know it's known as CornHole because you are supposed to fill the bags with cornmeal, instead of beans. This adds to the difficulty of the game as the residue from the cornmeal works through the bag making the boards more slippery, the more you play.
Due to our lust for life we changed the game to BeamBag as our boards are sponsered by Kentucky's Best Bourbon, Jim Beam!
I really wish I was going, I had my Vegas trip cancelled only to have a Wedding to go to in Atlantic City. Why do I know so many degenerate gamblers? At least it's at the Borgata.

You can always put the oil in a pan and have a nice open fire fryer. The campfire will burn forsure. You can get a grill hot enough to fry them. No gasoline required!

The folks planning my high school reunions keep scheduling them for long weekends. I finally called and told the people doing all of my reunions to leave me alone. I had better things to do with my holiday weekends than spend it with people I don't know anymore. They were shocked by my statement and asked if the people I grew up with didn't matter to me anymore. I said the ones who do I see on a regular basis and the rest really don't matter. I hope I don't hear about my 15 year reunion next year because I would rather be wheeling.

AS the only thing that has really held me up int he last year was the motor. with pistons being on back order then the Machine Shop (not my friends, he dosen't turn cranks) lost/stole/sold my crank they had to buy another 401 and we pulled the crank and turned it Cost the machine shop 400 bucks to get me a crank...but after a sonic check and polished up we have...
off the stand and on the chery picker going in the Jeep tomorrow!
I will pull it later and paint it body color of what ever i paint on the body with but for now its going in!

When are you going to be in TJ? Any time to go have a drink somewhere in SD?
Hell yeah At this point, it looks like I'd arrive the evening of Sunday 06/24 and be there thru the week. Prolly work late most nights... but that Sunday or maybe the following Fri/Sat I might have free time. We stay in SD and commute over the border each day (ugh) Won't have firm info until about a week before (alot can go wrong or change on our build schedules)...

June 2, June 16, June 30, July 14, July 28. Those are all the weekends that are good for me... what sucks is i would hate for it to be changed to suit me better, then something come up and i can't make it. the weekend before 4th of july, the June 30 one is ideal, as i can take little time off and go longer. If paragon is open, i will be hitting both places.

Sounds like a brilliant idea to me. I was hoping one of the local peeps could go check it out. Web sites only show the good about it. But, what other choice do we have? Ask about tow rig and trailer parking. With me, Dave, Mike, and the T's, there is at least four trailers going to be there.

Ok, I took the iniative and sent our request to RC. This is the email I sent. Looking at their newsletter, they don't take reservations. They just want us to announce our intentions to the park.
quote:
Lynn,
The Jeepaholics is planning an event to RC the last weekend in June. We will be camping on RC Friday, June 29th to Monday, July 2nd. We'll need space for 25 tents and 10 Tow rig and trailers. We request a place that we can all be together.
There may be a few that will be staying longer than this, but they will make their own arrangements.

RC was pretty cool. I still like paragon a little better, but it'll do.
What engine does tom's jeep have? If its a 4.0, i'd definately consider 4.56's at least. My 4.10's on 33's are just about pefect, i'd think that if i jumped up to 35's (which will happen eventually) i'd like 4.56's.
Who drives a jeep on 35's 80mph anyway?

We got to it on Saturday. Rob stuck his "toes" in and sunk up to his headlights. Then we read the sign that sits in the middle about how this hole has wasted engines, transmissions, and t-cases. We poked around at the bottom and didn't seem to bad and I might have tried it if I was sealed up better.

It looks like it will be good camping weather, the weather here says 53 at night. I am about 1.75 hrs from RC. Jake was there last weekend he said that the guy that worked there was an A$$, he is reluctant to go back. I haven't been there since 03 so I can't remember. He says that it is NOTHING like Paragon but the coal dirt. I guess that we we spoiled for so many years. With the pleasant employees and owners!

Just saw this over on the RC forum:
quote:
The Days Inn located south of the park is now offering discounts to RC visitors. Ask for Tammy to get the discounted room rate of $58.50 (which I understand is significantly less than what Comfort Inn is now charging).
They are located about 15 minutes south of the park, from Interstate 81, take Exit 90 (Lebanon/Lickdale exit). The other businesses there are a Wendy's, Subway, a full-service campground, and a restaurant-style Dairy Queen.
Days Inn has a spa with a Jacuzzi, and a washer/dryer available. The rooms all have refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, hair dryer, and 2 double beds.
The local number there is 717-865-4064.
If I come down with the little 'un, this sounds like a great fallback in case weather or whatever makes for poor camping conditions with a <2yr old.

Lynn wrote me back. We can park any trailers at the staging area. The camping sites were supposed to have changed by now but they didn't. She didn't tell me where we were supposed to camp, so whoever gets there first may have to look for the best spot. The camping areas are described on the RC website and also I believe there is a map. Basically, when you get to RC you will be turning Right to enter the property. There is a small building on the right and this is the check-in building. To the left of here up on the hill is the staging area. If you just go straight past the building, the campsites are on the left, further past the staging area.
Is everyone OK with their directions to RC?

Hey everyone, here is the response I got from Lynn:
Good to hear from you. I put your group on the calendar.
We should have plenty of room for a large group now, if you've been following the forum, we're making all new parking, staging and camping areas, the project should be completed early June.
When it gets closer let me know what's going on Friday. Is anyone arriving in the morning to go wheeling, or is everyone arriving after work that night, that sort of thing. At that time I can update you on instructions about signing in when you get to the park.
Thank you.
Lynn
Wa-lah!

No, they haven't got back with me. I looked at the calendar earlier today and we weren't on there yet. I had used my work email to contact them, but I start vacation tomorrow afternoon. Someone may have to email them as a secondary contact if they don't get back to me by tomorrow.
I wouldn't pay that much to go to Camp Jeep or Jeep Jamboree either. That's why I trail guide. But there will be 3000 other jeep owners that will. To be a trail guide you need four things: 1) own a jeep, 2) Be a member of United, 3) Be a member of Virginia 4 Wheel Drive association, and 4) be able to make the preruns. Number 2 and 3 costs you $26. Then you have to throw your name in for the lottery on the United forums. All you have to do is work 4 trails over the 3 days. You get a half day on your own with free admittance in to Camp Jeep. And the year I did it, I got $450 for gas and hotel room compensation plus you are provided 3 shirts to wear and keep. Plus there are other goodies, lunch if you have a lunch time run, and trail guide only raffle in which I won a winch at. All of that just for being overly nice to everyone and keeping some schmuck from scraping his new Commander against a tree.

Ok in truth I had one years ago, lost it while in the woods, and all the places I go. I either know that place, better then anyone else or they have a GPS so I save money by not buying a new one, and MAYBE I might find my old one

How much does it cost? We require all persons 16 and older to become members of the park. The membership costs $10 and is good for a year from the date you join. This membership requirement applies to passengers as well as drivers. Once you are a member, the daily entrance fee for the vehicle and its driver is $30.00. Passengers are $5 each with children 15 and younger free. Included in your daily fees is free primitive camping. See Membership Application page for the membership application and parental waiver. All children 17 and younger require their parent to sign a parental waiver. We do not accept credit cards (cash or check only). For our frequent visitors, we offer some specials. A Frequent Driver Pass for $100 which is good for five visits, or a Season Pass for $250. We also offer a weekend special 2-day pass for $50.
What kind of campground do you have? The camping is primitive and included with your admission. Pack in and pack out what you need. We have porta-potty service at the main parking lot. There is room for tow rigs and trailer parking as well as for RV's and pop-ups. We have fire rings and there is plenty of firewood along the trails for our members to use. We also have split dry firewood available by donation. Please see our March, 2005, newsletter for more detailed camping information.

I hear ya man... when my junk came to rest in the garage exactly where you saw it the other night 1.5yrs ago, it was muddy and dirty as hell... found the ripped trackbar brackets and front LCA mounts... put in on jack stands and have been working around the dirt since then Sucks ass, frankly. When I pulled the rear axle last weekend to strip the CAs off for you, I drug it out in the front and hosed it off in the rainstorm

LOL! A bunch of drinking helping hands would be nice.. problem is I don't know what the fawk I'm doing, let alone telling someone else what to do to help
Alot of progress has been made... alot still to be done though Gotta take some time to get pictures, too... I get a chance to work and I go apeshit... keep forgetting to take photos and psuedo document what I am doing. So far, here's what's been done:
NP241: case chopped off to make crawl box, found 21 spline input gear, have Duffy's "Box4Rocks" kit ready to go. Still need to get/install new input bearing/seal and pilot bearing, block off old vent, drill/tap new vent, and weld in the block off plate.
Flipped D300: I have a "flipped" shift rail guides and interlock assembly (true twin-stick with interlocks to prevent hi-low combo) fabbed up, case is drilled/tapped for new vents and sight-tube, speedo adapter to mate TJ VSS to short-tailshaft-housing is finished and ready to install, need to make new cover for case. Also need to fab up shifters for 300 and crawl box.
Front radius arm suspension: Picked up some used RE front arms for cheap and fabbed my own trackbar setup to set the roll center higher than RE setup. I'm designing a new tender-spring-slider spring contraption setup... material has been ordered... should show up this week and I can finish those next weekend. This little contraption will allow me to run a 4" Eibach 300lb/in tender spring on top of a 4" Tera spring to get spring travel over the full 14" of Bilstein 5150 shock travel and true dual-rate springs No more springs dropping free and flopping around for me New shock towers are almost done... have cardboard templates made up for all the pieces done up. Also have Currie Anti-Rock I need to install.
New crossmember and skid: cradle tying into tranny and D300 completed, roughed in the crossmember and poly bushing mounts to hold it to frame. Still need to brace and gussett the crossmember and cut/mount to 3/16" steel skid "skin" for it. Also have to order/install poly motor mounts to match the poly tranny/tcase mount.
Rear suspension: Uh, yeah... not even started. Have RE LAs as a start... also have BTF D44 truss kit. Parallel lowers and triangulated uppers. Gonna push rear axle back approx. 4"... need to mock up how fender flares and body works out to be sure it will still let me get an inspection sticker... prolly gonna use BTF stretch wheelbase gas tank to do it. Not clear yet how this is all going to work. Planning to notch rear frame and fab ner shock towers to run 14" 5150s. Cutting off stock frame-side spring perch and moving/modifying to allow me to run a 3-4" TJ front spring (still have to figure out which spring/rate/length) back there with the same tender-spring setup as the front.
Exhaust: Duuno HTF I'm gonna get the exhaust, cat, and muffler to all fit. This should be fun
Still need: buy new battery, order new wheels w/ <3" BS, flush PS system and check new PS cooler for leaks (burnt fluid last time out), change really leaking rear main seal, change oil, antifreeze, fluids, etc. after sitting for almost 2yrs. Also have to get some "protection" of the rear seat passenger compartment installed for Megan.. thinking I want to atleast put some expanded steel mesh up over the passenger side to keep things off her... also want to atleast get some extra diagonals and gussets on the cage in the rear, minimum.
Yikes Can we move this out a few weeks months years

Come to think of it, i'd like to remove my previous statement, about prefering running water.
irdgaf either way. Water is nice, but if i could survive a 50 mile canoe trip in canada with the boy scouts (very prmitive camping) i can survive 2 days 5 minutes from civilization without running water.
It _is_ camping after all!

OH and how was I gone all day running down 44" tires (2 SS) for a freind never been mounted 650 and 4 boggers traded for 42" SS ... my friend with bogger went to unimog portals and wanted the lighter narrower tire and they swaped out. and noone posted on this page..this wasnt even in my active topics

Simple!
Good luck with that.

Also my jeep doesnt start now. I jumped it and let it run for 5-10 mins and then the next day I went to start it and it wont turn over now. the first day it clicked when I turned the Key, now it doesnt do anything.
I guess I should have drove the thing......last time was over a month ago

I just sent an e-mail to Rausch creek's info address.
Questions asked:
Membership, do we need to pre-register, or can we do it the day of the run?
Scheduling, Do we need a reservation, and if not, is our date going to be a problem?
Guide, if by some change we decide that we want a guide (not knowing the park) what would it cost, and what are the policies on guided vs unguided entry to the park.

I got the results from my MRI this morning. A complete tear of my ACL. I just got my referral to see a Orthopedic Surgeon. I doubt my surgery will happen before this run. I'm able to walk around, but I don't know how I will do on uneven terrain. IF I make it, I can't do any heavy lifting or much hiking. I'll probably have to hotel it cause there is no way I'll be able to move my heavy camping gear around much less trying to get in or out of the air mattress in the tent. Hell, I don't even know if I can get in and out my jeep. Haven't tried since my accident.

Any thoughts on one day at the new Paragon site?
Paragon Adventure Park presents a new location for dealership outings, large events and large group rides. This new area is geared toward SUV/4x4 vehicles. Sorry, no ATV/dirt bikes at this time. We plan to acquire more land in the near future for ATV/dirt bikes.
This new location has a beautiful setting. It is close to the Hazleton hotels and right next door to the Red Ridge Lake Campground.
This location will be guided to all groups as the trails are not easy to follow. The cost of the guide is included in your admission price.
We are taking reservations for groups/events. These reservations are on a first come first serve basis and are already being booked. If you are interested in a date, please contact us at reservations@paragonap.com. If you would like to book during the week, we ask that you have a group of at least ten vehicles (the cost will be a minimum of 10 vehicles). Saturdays and Sundays will be reserved for our larger groups and events. Anyone with less vehicles may slide in on short notice if we do not have anyone booked.
After Memorial Day, we will post some pictures so you have an idea of what kind of terrain to expect. Please don’t misunderstand, this is not a replacement to our Oak Ridge Road location. The terrain and layout is very different. There is not a lot of “crazy” stuff, however, there are very difficult trails. We are not gearing this toward the buggies and rock crawlers. This is a true trail riding area.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail reservations@paragonap.com.

More to life than building my rig i guess...
Daughter is sick, it's raining cats and dogs here, starting an offroad shop, doing home repairs, surfing porn, etc... lots of reasons i guess.

I think those are when your artieries are cloggged and need to be cleaned out, so doctors perform these "bypasses" to help prevent you from having a heart attack....I cant be sure though...I didnt go to a doctor school.

Oh Trish, I really wanted to come hang out but it just didn't work out. I can't wait to see pics of little Sydney! Where do you and Jake live now? Tom and I would love to get together.
OK seems as though the gears in the TJ were installed wrong by the kid that had it before us and it basically ruined them. So we want to make sure to get what we want and do it right. I am leaning toward 4:56's now. We only will be driving it locally on the road, and also to and from the parks. That will be most of the road travel because the Jeeps aren't our daily drivers.
Hey Nate by the way--we still have the Jeep we got from your buddy. It now has a YJ body on it but isn't finished yet. It is in the driveway under a tarp. If it EVER gets done, I'll post a thread.

Might want to drain/refill your diffs at least after the water incident. Maybe the trans /tcase too if the water had them submerged.
Best to do it now, right after it happened, than to wait until it comes to haunt you.

Because the shifter cable melted on the header but we had to bnack it off the trailer and you didn't want to lay under it while it was running to put it in gear so i had to lay on the muddy trailer under a rig that has crapy breaks while running trusting pete not to kill me and put the truck in reverse, before anyone the nutral safty switch was working and it was pitch black so we had no other way to atempt it!
(note to self never let a 16 year old rout your shifter cable)

I keep thinking about bringing my lab/pointer, but she's so iffy around other dogs.. and i have no idea how she;d behave in the jeep all day.
I can most likely make it any weeked, the sooner we have one set, the more likely i am to get the date off.
Oh, and the pete/dog thing.....
Pete was amazed that Scrambler was able to get his dog to hurdle over 2 people in their chairs sitting by the campfire to go fetch a ball.
It really was rather amusing.
Food... mmm... we'll have to get a nice variety of stuff together again.

Remember when I had to be winched off the mountain at Paragon and towed out and then had to get towed home? Well my Jeep is doing the exact same thing it did then. We replaced so many things trying to fix it and now I forget which thing it actually was. SO now my Jeep needs fixed. I will still be there though even if I am a hmmmhmmm passenger with Tom (hubby).
What happened to David and Crystal? I didn't see them on the updated list even as a maybe. I was gone all last week so I must have missed something. I think the thread was on page 49 when I left and page 50 a WEEK later!

How to Convert Metric Tire Sizes
Metric tire sizes are made up of four components: prefix, width, aspect ratio, and wheel size. It takes three of these components to calculate the diameter of the tire. It sure is not a very straight forward sizing convention.
The prefix is used to indicate general use of the tire. The tire input field trys to ignore the prefix and if your prefix causes an error, just don't input it. The Gear and Tire Applet currently will successfully ignore 'P' for passenger car and 'LT' for light truck. When in doubt, drop the prefix.
The width simply the width of the tire in mm. For example the tire size P215/75R15 has a width of 215mm.
The next component is the aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is the percentage of the width that makes up the sidewall of the tire. In the above example the aspect ratio is 75 or 75%, so the sidewall height is 75% of 215 or 161.25mm. If you want the diameter of the tire, you need to take into acount that the diameter of the tire passes two sections of the side wall. This means the sidewall takes up 161.25*2 or 322.5mm of the diameter.
The next component is the wheel size. In the above example the wheel size is 15". If you convert the total sidewall into inches you get 322.5mm*0.03937in/mm or about 12.6". Add that to wheel size and you get the diameter 15"+12.6" is 27.6". So a P215/75R15 tire has a diameter of about 27.6".

Sounds like a brilliant idea to me. I was hoping one of the local peeps could go check it out. Web sites only show the good about it. But, what other choice do we have? Ask about tow rig and trailer parking. With me, Dave, Mike, and the T's, there is at least four trailers going to be there.
LOL! I was just thinking of that the other night... kept forgetting to post up the question though Sure would be nice to have a convenient, reasonable place to park trailers and pickups.

Hmmm, as a rule my stuff breaks either before I go wheeling or after, not on the trail itself, fender flares suck, I have 'em on the front still, held w/ bolts, the rears I never put back on...

You just have a regular car seat for Sydney offroad? I've been seriously considering getting a PRP toddler racing seat for Megan... mounted down nice and low in the tub instead of the back seat + car seat. She loves to ride in my "vroom, vroom" (her term for my pickup) and bumpy roads make her happy and she asks "more", so I suspect she just might get a kick out of wheeling

Well, we could always camp in my yard and everyone can use our showers and bathrooms. It took me about half an hour today to get to RC, but I was going a lot faster than I should have been.
I am up for just camping at RC. Maybe people that can't live without showers could go to my house for 1.

I'm out. I have 2 weddings on Friday to go to. Only one is in Vegas and one in Atlantic City (yes, I only know drunks and degenerate gamblers). Since the AC one is my uncle I'm heading there. I thought about driving in Sat but we're gonna stay and hit the beach and casino's.
Can't wait to see pics, and I can't believe I missed 2 of these in a row.
Art, Ian and Trav, a local group here in Roch, NY is setting up something to some private land north of Adams, Mass in late Sept/Oct. If it happens and I get some details I'll let you know.

OK I sent the email. I don't think Lynn knows who I am but my local club helps cut trails and wheels there all the time, so that should help. I'll let you know when I hear from her.
(I think Ken is out of town, but I could be wrong. His wife's myspace told me she is on a cruise, so if he went along then I would say he is out of town. lol)

Also, people that want to stay longer than the weekend are invited to stay at our house. I will probably camp Friday and Saturday night but will be home for sure on Sunday night. If anyone wants to do any local stuff like Hersheypark or anything like that, I could most likely take off work on Monday or Tuesday or whenever. Just let me know!

i got my jeep back from the shop late yesterday. spent most of the day messing around with it. (sorry no pics, it was raining) all i can say is what a difference lockers make. right now i have to completely change the way that i approach an obstacle. i had never driven a jeep that was locked, being able to flip a switch and be locked is nice. i'll take some pics tomorrow if it doesnt rain.

She;s been to rausch in the past, she's already said its a great place.
Its the campsite she's checking out this weekend.
On another note. It looks like my dad might be joining us this year! Though he isn't sure that he wants to join us on the trails, he has offered to serve as the camp cook though. After all the year's that he's got under his belt, between boy scouts (he was a scout master when he was younger) and recreational camping, you can bet that he's got some pretty good camp recipe's. I was in boy scouts, he and i used to actually cook over a campfire. None of this propane stove stuff.
Anyway, i want to convince him to come to the park with us, at least for one day. But either way, it'll be nice to have him along.

I emailed that campawhile and it doesnt sound like what we are looking for,they done have a group tent area and we need to be in a group or it wouldnt be the same!!!
here is what they wrote back
We are a wooded campsite so we can not offer an area to put 11 tents together. We can accommodate your needs as of now, however June is a busy month for us so it would be a good idea to book soon. Our tent sites are primitive, they offer a picnic table, fire-ring, and grill. As you saw on the website our site are priced for 2 adults and 2 children. Additional people can register at $3/adult/night or $1/child/night with a max of 4 adults/site. I hope this is helpful information, any questions you can call me at 570-682-8696. Thank you for your interest. C.A.W.

Sorry this pic is blurry but it's the only other pic we have so far. And what is with the tires being like metric or something. They don't say 31's they say something else. And I think they are MTRs. I didn't really check out the Jeep too much...left that up to him.

Ha! Yea right!
Of course i'll be there!
So i giess i missed scrambler man backing out. That sucks. No mike, no trav, no scrambler, and maybe no rob (i assume that the inspection is going to hold him up?)
The roster is getting a little short.
I'm pretty certian at this point that i wont have the SOA done. I havent even gotten to start it. Been busy with house stuff, work, and a few other projects. Been working on my BBS a lot lately, and some web projects. So i havent been checking on the forums much.
I have the rear buggy springs removed, and i replaced them with Boomerangs. I have a few repair issues to take care of, and an inspection to get done.
Inspection... Wow rob! I thought pa inspections were bad, shit man, sounds like NJ is even worse! Cant you find a lick -n- stick?
Trav, you can ride with me (if i have an open seat... heh) if you come down for the trip!
My wife might be coming along, my dad probably is.
My wife's not too keen on the primitive camping. So we'll see what she decides.

Wheel it like ya stole it
That sucks Mike.
Made some good progress in the past few days... wifey and kiddo are up visiting at FILs Finished getting all the UCA and shock mounts cleaned off the axle, fitted up and tacked down the BTF truss. Got the new Genright extended wheelbase gas tank mounted, and one side of the extended corners mocked up (c-clamped to body). Got the rear axle back under the jeep for final measurements and mock up. Got front suspension finished except for the "sliders" that will mate the tender coils to the main springs and the passenger side axle shock mount (ran out of 3/16" stock) Holy poop, 14" of shock travel makes for alot of articulation. Can't fully cycle the suspension as the brake disks hit the floor about 1" before the shocks run out
Measured up everything on the rear mock up and was playing with 4-link calculator and modeling pinion angle vs suspension travel tonight. Still debating whether to triangulate the lower CAs. Would have to be a bolt-in crossmember so I can get the D300 and crawl box in/out... only real difference in suspension performance is flex-steer. Shying away from triangulating the lowers since fabbing up good, solid but removable crossmember is gonna be alot more work that burning a couple of LCA mounts on to the frame rails.
Wifey took my digital camera with her, so I'm at a loss for real progress picts. Bah... was hoping ot atleast show some tangible progress

spiffy rig, i'm not looking to push any limits unless i can trailer my jeep there. (this event might turn into a shake down run, or maybe the 7 hour drive there) its down to 23% chance i'll have a trailer, my grandfather is playing hardball. there will be a trailer sitting in my backyard with a dodge pickup and i'll probably end up having to just drive my jeep there.... it could be worse i guess, my junk could be in a million pieces sitting, unready in my garage...

well lets just say i found a big pile of rocks by my house.... and when i say big, i mean big.... so 2 nights of wheeling on it = body damage.. (dont care to much)... todds jeep has an extremely bent tie rod... and I blew up a hub... I Havent opened the hub up yet, but My wheel stopped spinning and the axle was so.... Haha At least i had a good time! Time to go order a hub expedited shipping... ha

So, has anyone been to the RC campground?
I was reading their campground rules, and it says in there that everyone is to "check out" of the campsite by 10AM. I'm hoping this doesnt mean that those who dont want to wheel, dont have to leave the campsite. That just doesnt make a lot of sense.
The reason i ask is, my dad's planning on camping, but he isnt sure he wants to actually go wheeling. He's planning on just hanging out at the campsite, relaxing, and whatnot while we're in the park. I cant immagine that this would be a problem.
He was also curious if there was anything to do around the camp, or nearby. Any nearby streams/ponds for fishing?

CW! you should come on down anyway! Plenty of open seats!
Art, sounds like a battery, youre on the right track. I used to have the same problem until a few years ago. i replaced the battery with an optima, and replaced all of the batt. cables. Now it fires up real nice!

I don't know if this matters. Although I am not camping, I will be leaving my trailer and either the jeep or my truck at the park at night. IIRC, the tow rig parking isn't near the campsite. It shouldn't make a differnce.
I took a glance at the weather for next weekend.
Jun 28 Thursday
Scattered thunderstorms possible. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the low 60s.
Jun 29 Friday
Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 80s and lows in the low 60s.
Jun 30 Saturday
Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 80s and lows in the low 60s.
Jul 1 Sunday
Mostly cloudy. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s.
I know, it will change every single day. It is cooler there then I thought it would be.

It's going to rain that day.
Everyone I've known that has gotten married the last weekend in June has ended in divorce.
Call ahead and book the church they want to do it in for that day so they can't have it. Probably too late for this one.

i'm tempted to leave here at friday at like 8pm and go through the night. traffic is gay
i think that once i get out of MA, i should make good time.

It's a bit of a haul from where you are at, but Elias 4WD Center in Townsend is a good shop that I try to pimp recommend. I had them do R&P installs and some other bigger work for me before I had a garage.
If you are interested, I have RE stuff - 4 LCAs, rear UCAs, and rear trackbar+bracket. It's used, for sure, but all the joints still have life left in them and nothing is fawked. I keep meaning to post all my old short arm stuff up for sale but I never get a chance.
Oh, and when you re-gear, get nothing less than 4.88s... you're 4 squirrells will thank you

Hey everyone, guess where I was yesterday!! Rausch Creek! Our club had its monthly run there. We had a blast--wheeled all day from about 9:30-5:45 and still had a ton of trails we didn't do. So I think we will be quite entertained on our trip. I got a few pics but don't have them on the computer yet. Someone else posted a few pics:
Me and my sister in my favorite: mud!

This trail was sort of narrow with a lot of rocks and trickier than it looks in this picture. This guy got stuck and ruined a running board.
Image Insert:
71.01 KB
We did a lot of rocky trails but didn't get many pictures. I got some pics of an awesome rock trail called Yellow Jacket Ridge and I want to try it next time. Couldn't then because we ran out of time. I will post pics of it then. Trust me, you will love it and hardly be able to wait! One guy was so stuck with his Toyota...he had to have a, hhhmmm hmmmmm, JEEP winch him out. The smaller wheelbase vehicles didn't have too bad of a time. Pics later! I promise!

Yea, we pretty much see who shows up, and what theyve got, and plan trails accordingly.
Ive been running 33's since... well.. forever. And i'd have to say that this past year was probably about the limit of what i can do without risking too much damage.
BUT we've had jeeps on 31's in the past. Hell, the very first time i went to paragon, we had a bone stock TJ, and a GRAND CHEROKEE in the group.
So anyway, i want to be running SOA and taller tires by this trip, but realistically, i'll probably be running the same junk ive been running for years.

Front radius arm suspension: Picked up some used RE front arms for cheap and fabbed my own trackbar setup to set the roll center higher than RE setup. I'm designing a new tender-spring-slider spring contraption setup... material has been ordered... should show up this week and I can finish those next weekend. This little contraption will allow me to run a 4" Eibach 300lb/in tender spring on top of a 4" Tera spring to get spring travel over the full 14" of Bilstein 5150 shock travel and true dual-rate springs No more springs dropping free and flopping around for me New shock towers are almost done... have cardboard templates made up for all the pieces done up. Also have Currie Anti-Rock I need to install.
even I can install the anti rock...

OK here's some stuff for you. Looks like RC is going thru major changes due to a mine area reclamation. I guess RC doesn't have a choice-lots of trees going down and lots of changes. They hope to be done in late May though. Here are some links if you want to check it out.

We'll be there tonight.
My dad got a 13Lbs turkey. So it might not hurt for someone to bring a second one.
Trish, talk jake into coming! I dont get to see you guys but once a year. Enough of the regulars have backed out already, not you too!
BTW, i heard on the radio this morning that the Cargo Airport is getting a bit of resistance in the senate. Even if paragon is gone from that site forver, it'd still give me some sense of justice to know that the cargo airport isnt there either.

I am ready to roll. Just took off my rear tire swing and bumper for some better ground clerance and threw the spare in the back. I am going to have to do something to improve that clearance with that carrier. Now if only I had a locker

I think the Echo Valley campground sounds good. It's pretty close by. I wouldn't mind no running water for a night or 2 but for any longer would suck. They only provide porta-potties at Rausch Creek.
We've had people with 31's before, and they did just fine. And remember Rausch Creek has bypasses for most of the harder stuff.
|
|
By JennyX - 5/11/2007 1:46:35 AM

That is way too complicated.
OK so why does my Jeep have 33's and our new jeep has the metric size? I think they are 31's but metric.

it'd be good to figure out whats in there before you go to buy gears.
Whats wrong with the gears that are in it anyway?

I think most of us leaning towards just camping at RC now.It's convenient and we'll get to see carwash sponge bath.
3 night min shouldn't be a problem. I think someone was saying they will be there Thursday and Trav said he'll stay until Monday morning. I usually stay until Monday morning, but if I make it this year, I'll have to leave Sunday afternoon to make it to school on Monday night.

Tyler toasted his front detroit, but we think that happened before he got there.
I think rob's talking about the way home. Because he was there, and wheeled both days.
No major carnage that i can recall. I popped my fender flare off, again, and seporated my exhaust, again. Both easy fixes. The rest was the usual scratches/dents.
My pics are at http://www.swbcrawler.com/gallery/jaocmj7/ I didnt get too many, i was busy spotting/driving most of the day.
Here's one of Koozkid showing off his mad flex.
And the usual group shot.

IIRC, 4 was the best turnout.
2 and 3 were probably the least.
There were something like 5 jeeps at jaocmj2, and 3 was rained out, but we still got together... 6 or 7 jeeps maybe?

Yes Rob, but you were also imortilized on the JAOCMJIV tee-shirt, so I think that made the Assclown Recovery Team stickers fair.
I finally got my driveshaft done yesterday and being stock on 31's for so long this 4.5" with 33's is taking some getting used to. It would have been nice to get it back when the county was NOT in a state of emergency for Wind, Ice, Snow, White Out and Blizzard-like conditions.
Tyler, since Rob was the only one to answer you, I'll second EcoValley. But I'd be willing to do Red Ridge if we were gonna do Rausch on Sat and PAP on Sun.

I'll be down for a day at paragon. But, do we have 10 vehicles now? With the drops and maybes, we are running a little scarce.
I got an update on my knee this morning. Complete tear of the ACL, partical tear of the MCL, and a tear in the meniscus. Doc said I'm looking at knee reconstruction surgery. But, I'll still be there. I'm stubborn too. If you see me about to do something stupid, tell me stop and to sit my ass down.

I may have lend/lease program on a friends trailer for the summer, or at least part of it, so getting my junk there and back just increased substantially. Gotta work out a few details with getting a day or two off work.
Only thing I gotta do, is get a new shock. Make some limiting straps for the front axle, and a tunnel cover for the tranny. All easy stuff.
Trav, nice work.

i took off my fender flare. its too wide, i couldn't see my tire and made for tuff wheeling. i did 42 miles or so, wheeled a ton. i had to clean my jeep twice to get it close to clean.
my friend nate had no fear and he put his stock jeep is some crazy places. i'm totally amazed what a stock jeep can do.
the 7-8 hour ride home was no problem. i was kinda worried about that. i just decieded i'm not going to take it to the outer banks tomorrow. i'm taking my car. alternator is kinda toast. lower control arms (still stock) bushing's are toast it wobbles like a mofo. i just have to replace them with my adjustable RE arms. (i'm lazy). oh, and my brakes are leaking somewhere. i had to add a bunch of brake fluid, i guess thats it. exhaust leaks more than before too

Well, I definately want to make this trip. It was sad that my Jeep made it and I didnt but I had 2 surgeries in 1 month, so offroading was out. I could wheel 8months prego, but not with stitches. I have not been to Rausch in years. We do have the motorhome, showering there may be an option BUT water could be an issue, running out I mean. Let me know if there are any ideas on how to get more water so we could all shower. Also, like Jenny mentioned about the toilet, I have one of those pottys that a bag would fit and work great. Just have to find privacy.

I don't think you understand my question. Why does my YJ have tires marked by the inch and the TJ has tires marked metrically. They are all MTR's.
??? I would just like to understand.

Well, Echo Valley is a DUMP. Good thing I went to check it out. It is one of those places where people live in their campers year round. I couldn't find any signs for where the tent camping was and the office was closed. There was a large, very filthy girl walking around staring at me. There was an old rusty barrel with a fire in it. The pool was rough looking. The mini golf looked like it hasn't been used in a long time. I know it IS winter, but this place looks really ROUGH. I just looked at the pictures on the website for the campground again, and it doesn't look anything like the pictures. I couldn't even find a fish pond anywhere. There must be a part of the campground somewhere else that I didn't see. I took pictures with my cell phone, but they haven't come thru on my email yet, so I'm not sure what is up with that.
I then went to check out the KOA campground off the Pine Grove exit. It really isn't THAT far away. It is called Twin Grove. It is actually where we had the Christmas party for my local club, the Keystone Krawlers. It is 5 miles off of I81. It is really a nice place. It has a restaurant, cabins, nice looking mini-golf, a little ferris wheel, pavillions, playgrounds, a gift shop, internet station in the gift shop, and the place looks very clean. The party we had was in the lodge and it was very nice in there-it even had a theater where we did a slide show. Problem is: as of right now they have no RV spots for our weekend and have a tent camping site for 7 tents. I was told they will be opening more tent sites soon but the girl didn't know when or how many. She said to call tomorrow. SO, we may not be able to stay at this place! She said trailers can be parked in the front main lot. I am pretty sure there is a way to get to Rausch Creek from there without getting on the highway. I will look that up.

SO, what do we do?

That campground looks just like home
And, any place significantly inland that puts up a lighthouse for decoration can't be all that bad, right?
I'm with 'wash, I'd be afraid of the three-armed sideshow freak stealing my stuff during that day or making me "squeal like a piggy" during the night

I would start with just cleaing all the conections and then start it and let it run for a while as 5-10 min dosen't fully charge a batt. but on a side not you should pull it off and charge it with a charger as You alternator is allso sitting and it taxes the alt more with a dead battery and has been known to take out a alt that has been sitting!

OK here is what I found out so far...it isn't much but it is something. I asked on my club's board and someone said this:
"I have camped there( in a camper). It has a full hook up for campers. It is a basic no frills campground. I would camp there again but I would not take my kids there. The place is just different I dont know how to explain it. They dont mind late night partying and anything to that nature."
Then someone gave me this link with some info:
http://www.hikercentral.com/campgrounds/110083.html
So it sounds like it should be sufficient. The only other info I got was that the KOA campground is kind of far away and not too convenient. It is nicer than Echo Valley, but they don't like partying.
I will try to go there this weekend, OK? I won't have time til then. So figure out how much space we will need. I have never done this before so I need you to tell me what to say to reserve the site. I assume if the place is decent you want me to go ahead and do that, right?

it would be unthinkable to have a JAOCMJ in a month other than June. Except that weird JAOCMJ2, which was in october, and not in PA. WTF was with that anyway?
Sooooo anywho.. we've gone thought 5 pages, and really accomplished nothing?
Sounds like you guys were doing a good job while i was out of town.

Yeah, let us all know how that works out.
Yes, that will work perfectly... I'll have plenty of time to work the jeep and whatever I want to Since I will have no wife, not be living in my house (ergo, not doing any work there), and paying alimony + child support

We might want to plan around Rausch's calendar. http://rc4x4.org/forums/calendar.php?s=&c=1&week=&month=6&year=2007
East Coast 4-Runner Jamboree is 6/22-6/24. July is even more packed with WERock going down July 14th.
I'm also looking for camp sites with facilities. For those of us that don't live right around the corner, a shower will be nice after a hot, dusty ride. How far is Red Ridge to Rausch? I hear 30-45 minutes.

If you are interested, I have RE stuff - 4 LCAs, rear UCAs, and rear trackbar+bracket. It's used, for sure, but all the joints still have life left in them and nothing is fawked. I keep meaning to post all my old short arm stuff up for sale but I never get a chance.

Robs jeep requires a flat bed, a tow vehicle, and a firewatch.

Home is probably about 20 miles for me though.

I'm still throwing around the idea of doing trail guide for camp jeep this year. I'll have to ditch some classes to do it.
The majority of the trails we have set up for camp jeep are super easy. We get stock Grands and liberties through 90% of the trails. Only three of the trails we even have vehicle requirements for.

Learn to ride your brakes... poor man's locker. Wheel that open D35 until you get the $$$ to do it right. My junk came with the trashlock D35... I found that if I cranked the e-brake up pretty tight and gave it some skinny pedal in low range, I could make both rear tires sorta spin. Try learning how to wheel smarter, not locked-and-floor-it.

There is really no minimum. If you look at the group pictures from the previous years earlier in the thread, you see its anywhere from close to stock to rockwells and 44's.. If we get enough people, we would probably split the group into two.

Does the camping area have room for large campers and if they do, is it in the same area as the tents?

Holy jeebus Rob! You have the WORST luck ever with inspections? WTF? Joisey inspection stations must have a poster in the employee break room with your photo on it that says "Fail this asshat if you see him. $50 reward"
A&A Mfg tab order arrived today...sent me the wrong set of adjustable link plates. Bah... means progress on getting the rear axle swing under the jeep stops until I return them and get the right ones or spend a bunch of hours making my own out of 3/16" plate. $%#&@^#$@&*$^*@(&*$&(*@(%@!)!)$&)!#
On a positive note, corporate bonuses were handed out today... they showed me a quite flattering "appreciation for my busting major ass hard work this past fiscal year" Been thinking that maybe I will assume some of the bonus $$$ resulted diectly from my working long hours instead of, oh, say, working on my jeep, so it should go towards parts/tools to make the build go faster as compensation. Been eyeing a plasma cutter and cold-cut chop saw... might pull the trigger on one or both. Would make fab work go alot faster than angle grinders, sawzalls, and hand work.

Oh, and if its just 10-15 min from this KOA to RC, i think thats a good place to stay, as long as its not a dump.
I can deal with primitive camping, I've done it before, but if i have a choice, i'd rather something with running water. It just makes the whole experience a little nicer.
On the other hand, camping right at RC would definately speed up our wake up to wheeling time.

Well, since I am too lazy to start a buildup thread, I'll continue to post progress picts here
With only the dog to distract me, I got alot done today... in addition to some house chores and work on the garden.
Made up brackets for the UCAs on the axle truss... here's the sides and rears:
Sure wish I could have bought these the size/shape I wanted... fabbing tabs is suck work
Mounted on the truss with tops installed tying both brackets together:
Also got the truss completely welded onto the axle and the brake lines re-routed. DS brake line may have to be routed differently as I suspect it will get in the way of where the shock mount will want to go.
Got one of the stock LCA mounts cut/ground off the axle before running out of cut-off wheels
Hoping to get the other stock LCA mount off tomorrow and weld the new triangulated lower mount brackets on.
Got all the rest of my tabs and stuff, too, so I might be able to get the front limit straps on and finish fabbing the spring sliders. That would make the front complete and ready to rock

LOL! I might have need for that Hell, if you have some work to be done, we might be able to figure out a weekend later this spring to help each other out I've got a shop, air tools, welder, etc.
If you are running a 3.5 RE lift, you can clear 33s I just happen to know of a set of 33x12.50 SSRs that used to be on a TJ w/ 3" lift Might suck ass for ya with stock gearing for that long of drive, but if (big IF... I have a ton of work to get done ) I make this run, I could toss 'em in the pickup and you could "borrow" them for the weekend

It's always a wait and see who is there. The first year I could make it, we did break off in groups. Last year we pretty much stuck together as one group, but a few of us did take a couple of quick harder trails. Looking like we'll have 15-20 vehicles this year, we may want to split up just to keep things moving. I'm there more for the friendship then the wheeling. I usually don't care what we do. I've been virtual friends with some of these guys for 5 years now. It's just nice to be able to get together and have a beer.

Well the new Jeep is out there in the driveway. Needs minor repairs: front driveshaft needs put back on, track bar needs attached, and driver's seatbelt needs fixed. I think that is it. I was out there trying to hose the thing out because the prior owner gave us an inch of mud and grime and gross stuff on the floors. What is with the stupid drain holes on TJ's? There are only a couple normal round ones and then there are these dumb oval shaped ones that are all painted over and you have to bust thru the paint to pry them out. Anyway, it was quite a job but looks 200% better now. I was looking at the tires-they are 245's on 16 inch rims. SO what is a 245 equivalent to in terms I can understand? They look about the size of 31's to me. You know, that sounds awful small to me. Maybe I looked at it wrong and they are 295's. I guess I'll have to check again. Duh.

We are camping there. I am SURE there will be seats open! My hubby and I will have 2, plus his Jeep has a back seat with working seatbelts.
OK the size of the tires on the new Jeep is 245 75 R16. Sound like 31's? Anyway he wants to get 33's soon. And please explain to me why these tires are not just called 31's!! I don't understand!

Here is another campground called Camp-A-While. It is in Hegins and doesn't look too bad. I would have checked it out today but I didn't realize it was an option. The pictures look OK.
http://www.campawhilepa.com/index.htm
It is closer than the KOA. Here are directions without using the highway:
1: Start out going EAST on E MAIN ST / PA-25 E toward PA-25 W. Continue to follow PA-25 E. 3.6 miles
2: Turn SLIGHT RIGHT onto US-209 / TREMONT ST. Continue to follow US-209. 6.5 miles
3: Turn LEFT onto TOWNSHIP RD 634 / MOLLEYSTOWN RD. 0.4 miles
4: End at [1-33] Main St., Tremont, PA 17981, US
Total Est. Time: 16 minutes Total Est. Distance: 10.76 miles

Correct. I think though that if it is usually a street-legal vehicle, you still have to be current on tags and registration to be in the park. I can check on that for you. Being from out of state I would think you would be totally fine.

Depends on how you have your active topics set up.
Finally got my school schedule. This will be the end of the first week of a new term. I'll only have school monday-thursday. If I go, I'll probably have to leave on Sunday and do homework by the camp fire. Knowing me, I'll say screw it and wheel Sunday anyway, especially if it's a Paragon run.
Any local peeps checked out the campground yet? I wouldn't even mind still camping at red ridge if it isn't that far of a drive to Rausch.

There are some bypasses very similiar to Paragon. But there are some really tough spots. I found a spot on the back side of rock creek that was pretty tough. All flat ground just jagged rocks
Can't believe this is up to 20 pages already

I think it was actually 3 that rob caught fire.. 3 times.
So, has anyone contacted rausch creek?
If so, does anyone know ho much its going to cost per vehicle/passenger?
iirc, we each need to become members of rausch creek, and then its a fee per vehicle after that.

Hot dogs were pretty good IIRC... think somebody had brauts and said they were pretty good deep fried.
Last winter, a bunch of us did a deep fried turkey out on the ice while ice fishing... man did that hit the spot. That night, we filleted some white perch, battered them, and fired them in the left over oil... was damned fried fish I have EVER had

does this camping area have showers and such like red ridge?
A shower area at the camp ground is a need to have thing!!!
I dont have a whole lot to fix.......its just my jeep wags like a dog going down the road. its not something i want to drive on the highway. im thinking I need new bushings in my sway bar(or a new ones), new sway bar links, and an adjustable trackbar to replace the stock one (bad bushings) that has the longer bracket on it.
I also need to get a new upper mount welded in for my rear passenger side shock. that is the only thing that might be a pain.
If i get the time it will all get done. I also need to get new tires.....unles I run my 35's that i have now......not much tread left on them at all. I want some swampers

Bring that thing to RC!
Took my jeep in for inspection Wednesday morning.
The guys says to me, as he's filling out the paperwork.
"So, promise me youre not going to drive this thing on the road".
Nooooo, i wouldnt do that.
He was all bent out of shape over my front panhard bar being disconnected. Whatever. I'll connect it before i take it back next year.
He passed it, thats all that matters to me.

It is a 4.0. What do you think about 4:88's with selective locker in front? The axles aren't stock but we aren't sure what they are. The rear is supposed to have the strength of a Dana 44. The t-case is stock.

There are some bypasses very similiar to Paragon. But there are some really tough spots. I found a spot on the back side of rock creek that was pretty tough. All flat ground just jagged rocks

I'll be getting there around 6ish on Friday and it looks like Mrs. Cape will be joining me at least until Saturday night. I'm not sure when my nephew and his friends will be showing up, but they did say they are still coming.
Nate, Thanks for offering to pick up the Turkey, we should be safe with a bird 15-18 pounds. I was going to pick one up so I could get it thawed, seasoned, and ready to fry so we don't have to mess around with all the nastyness at the campsite, but if you want to handle that, that would be cool too.

As it stands, my passenger seat might be taken by my dad, or my wife. My dad's definately coming, but might not be coming into the park, my wife says now that she's not coming, but she says that every year. We'll see.

i've decieded not to replace the d35. i plan on only going to 33" tires so i don't think it will be really needed. i'd also lock up the rear with an Ox or ARB. while it's not my DD, i'd like to be able to take it on the road. also i'm going to regear. i'd like to do it all myself. my grandfather is my techinical advisor he lives 10 minites away so i use him when i have questions.

OK you only need to have it insured if it is a street-legal vehicle, even if you trailer it. Don't need registration apparently.
Here are the rules and regs from the RC page:
Rausch Creek Off Road Park Rules and Regulations
1) Before entering the park, members are required to check in at the Office, pay admission, and pick-up a wristband and vehicle tag.
a. The Office hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 8 to 10 a.m. from April through November. Other times are by reservation only.
b. GROUPS SHOULD EXCHANGE CELL NUMBERS SO THEY CAN CONTACT EACH OTHER IN THE EVENT OF LATE ARRIVALS. It will be up to each group to send someone back to the office to pick up late arrivals. So please exchange cell phone numbers with each other.
2) The minimum group size is two vehicles.
3) Members shall keep their membership card with them at all times and keep their wristband on during their visit. Vehicles must have the proper vehicle tag in plain sight.
4) Members wishing to camp overnight prior to their day of wheeling must make appropriate arrangements prior to their visit. Campers who are still in the park past 10:00 a.m. the following day shall be required to pay for that additional day.
5) Seatbelt use is mandatory.
6) All vehicles should have at least one towpoint and a full-size spare.
7) All street legal vehicles must be insured. All drivers must hold a valid drivers license and be covered by an automobile insurance policy. Competition rigs are welcome.
8) No littering. Pack in and pack out everything. Designated campfire areas are for cooking and burning of firewood only. All campfires must be put out when leaving the camping area. Check at the Office for any Burn Ban advisories.
9) Quiet hours at the camping areas are 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
10) All vehicles must be off the trails by DUSK, except for repair or recovery purposes. Nighttime wheeling is prohibited!
11) Anyone observed drinking and driving will permanently lose their membership privileges and their affiliated club will be sanctioned.
12) Stay on designated trails. Do not park vehicles where they might block a trail. Do not drive past the park's boundary markers or around gates. Cross streams only at designated stream crossings. Traffic may cross over or drive upon the Water Line only where it is part of a designated trail. Avoid bushwacking around muddy trails so we can keep our muddy trails muddy. Members should not drive through the hunt club's food plots.
13) Members should check the posted map at the Office for information about possible trail closures and updates on new trails.
Any person observing a violation of these rules or any unsafe or suspect behavior will report it to their club representative or a Park officer as soon as possible.
Members who disregard the rules of Rausch Creek Off-Road Park, or pose a safety threat to themselves or other Members, will be ejected from the park without a refund. Repeated violations will result in loss of membership.

I guess there _is_ an advantage to not having touched my jeep since last year at this time.
Its still in pretty much the exact same condition it was in when i brought it home last year. Seporated exhaust and everything.
I'm mostly ready. I've got half of my clothes and stuff ready up in the bedroom, still need to get some supplies such as... FOOD, still need to pack my camping gear, get the jeep from the other property, get it ready (which is pretty much as simple as cleaning out all the junk, and taking the top off.
So yea, i;m about ready.. Just gotta go to work today..

Then my next question would be: Would we have to change campsites since we'll only be wheeling one day at Rausch?
And Trav, those are some pretty welds. I think I decided I'm going to buy me a MIG welder today.

The number of individual pieces in my garage is getting smaller... got the truss tacked on the axle tonight. Also go tired of dragging the damned axle around by myself under the jeep to mock up, out to weld, back under... my back just can't take that shit anymore Had some scrap 2x4s and crappy furniture casters laying around, so I half-assed a cradle-dolley for the axle... holds it at ride height and I can wheel it under the jep to measure real easy now.
Genright tank is in and corners test fitted on. Gonna have to trim alot more away to keep the up travel I had and stretch the wheelbase Keep in mind I had already trimmed alot away and shifted the fender flare up/back... gonna trim out about a inch from the top and rear of the Genright corners to clear 36-37" tires with 5" stretch.
Got the empty (gearless) NP241 crawlbox and flipped D300 cases mounted in place in the finished cradle mount (mounts to the tranny foot and mounts to two 5/8" studs on the D300 where the stock shifter holes were). The crossmember peices still need the triangulated braces... gotta figure out where the rear suspension x-member goes before I finish those. The 3/16" skid plate will also tie into the tranny mount support rails and the rear suspension crossmember to tie it all together in a brick shithouse design
Waiting on the box of tabs and brackets from A&A to show up so I can get the rear suspension tacked in place and cycle it. The RoushStuff box showed up today... so the LCA frame and axle mounts are ready to get tacked on tomorrow night.
Wifey and kiddo left this morning to visit Grandma for 2wks... me thinks I'm gonna make some progress

Assclown.
So, if paragon is still open, would anyone be open to Rausch one day, pap the next?
Just seems like a lot of people want to hit both.
if my shit is together and im not moving then I wouldbe up for it
what i really want is to go wheeling.....no offence but you guys sleep to long and dont get ready in time.
that is the only complaint i have about the meet and greet.
Im used to being at the gates waiting in line for them to open them up so I can wheel all day long.
but since there is only 2 jeeps needed to run the trails i dont think it would be hard finding someone in the group ready to roll out early and start wheeling
Hey now for JAOCMJI I was up early....BUT I had to spend a few hours on repairs....

I think 5 is when I lost the clutch line and I had to come home by starting the jeep in gear whenever I came to a complete stop.
I made it all the way home in 1 shot...till some jerk stopped at a green light to let someone go across the street.

Yes you can just register there.
Yes there is room for large campers but I don't know where.
No, I only told Lynn we needed space for Friday and Saturday. Anyone needing other nights will have to make their own arrangements or I guess I can tell her. I would just shoot her an email if I were you. There should be plenty of camping room, but I would let her know ahead of time for sure.

As it stands, i could make any of the dates proposed, though it would be easier if it was the weekend of the 23rd for me. as i work (and am on-call) the weekend of the 16th, and the 30th.
BUT I'm 99% sure i can switch with the other admin for just about any weekend we might decide on.
oh really????? oddly enough I'm not offended  ..... the dates I think can make are June 7-11,21-24

I think I have a free pass to Rausch somewhere. I haven't had a chance to check that place out yet. I have no idea about a date. I'm starting to go back to college for my BS in Networking and Security Management. Course load will determine if I can make it. In JAOCMJ style, I throw a "I'm going" in there only to back out later.

even if only half the list comes we'll need to split groups. too many Jeeps and we wont get to do too much. But it is always fun to see everytone do there thing.

[quote]what is the deal with camping on site at Rausch?[/quote
Just primitive camping. Your entry fee into the park covers camping. What I like is you can run back to camp anytime you want. Or you can play on some rocks near camp.

And, "definite head count"? That's some funny chit there... head count occurs Sat morning around 9am when whomever is showing up rolls into camp or out of bed

I think primitive camping means i can club girls over the head and take them back to my tent...

cuz if you drag them by their feet, they fill up with dirt.

I've been virtual friends with some of these guys for 5 years now. It's just nice to be able to get together and have a beer.
thats what i loved about PAP even when we split off on harder trails the stockers were right there and got to watch and we got to stick together and have fun!to me its about the friend ship and sticking together it was fun bing on the harder trails while watching Jenny flip out and NAte flog his Jeep..watching you rip off your fender flair was fun also!
that's what i was hopeing would happen. cause i want to drive my jeep around but i want to watch some of your higher level achievments. does this place not allow for that?

You just have a regular car seat for Sydney offroad? I've been seriously considering getting a PRP toddler racing seat for Megan... mounted down nice and low in the tub instead of the back seat + car seat. She loves to ride in my "vroom, vroom" (her term for my pickup) and bumpy roads make her happy and she asks "more", so I suspect she just might get a kick out of wheeling
We use a chair made by Cosco(we have 3 I think that is the one), it has a high head shield were more padding can be adde

Work pays for mods and fuel so Keep doing that! Let the grass grow, for get about paint, and tell her to take out the trash. working 60+hrs you can hire a mexican worker to be a nanny, and tell your wife to start watching the DYI tv show if she wants other NON JEEP stuff done!

Well, Jake figured out what was wrong with my jeep. The ONLY thing that he didn't replace was something in the ignition. So now I have a kill switch and some kind of heat something or other grease. He is at Rausch Creek today trying it out. Hope that everything is good, so I can have my Jeep back on the road. I need new sneakers Jake wants 37's I'd be happy with 35's. Oh well, I hope that it doesnt break, but I know Jake........he can flop on a green trail

it would be unthinkable to have a JAOCMJ in a month other than June. Except that weird JAOCMJ2, which was in october, and not in PA. WTF was with that anyway?
Sooooo anywho.. we've gone thought 5 pages, and really accomplished nothing?
Sounds like you guys were doing a good job while i was out of town.

I had to look that word up to realize I spelled it wrong. But still I don't think i'm the only one that spells 'haul' that way. I don't think I've spelled haul correct in years.

Advise: Cheedarworst is dangerous! That explosive lavalike cheesesauce that erupts during your first bite can be the end of taste for a few days.
Excuse: I might be heading to Vegas for a friend's wedding. So as much as I enjoy the trip, and hate to miss it. Vegas baby, Vegas!

So, if paragon is still open, would anyone be open to Rausch one day, pap the next?
Just seems like a lot of people want to hit both.
if my shit is together and im not moving then I wouldbe up for it
what i really want is to go wheeling.....no offence but you guys sleep to long and dont get ready in time.
that is the only complaint i have about the meet and greet.
Im used to being at the gates waiting in line for them to open them up so I can wheel all day long.
but since there is only 2 jeeps needed to run the trails i dont think it would be hard finding someone in the group ready to roll out early and start wheeling

I've been virtual friends with some of these guys for 5 years now. It's just nice to be able to get together and have a beer.
thats what i loved about PAP even when we split off on harder trails the stockers were right there and got to watch and we got to stick together and have fun!to me its about the friend ship and sticking together it was fun bing on the harder trails while watching Jenny flip out and NAte flog his Jeep..watching you rip off your fender flair was fun also!

If you are running a 3.5 RE lift, you can clear 33s I just happen to know of a set of 33x12.50 SSRs that used to be on a TJ w/ 3" lift Might suck ass for ya with stock gearing for that long of drive, but if (big IF...

I was out there trying to hose the thing out because the prior owner gave us an inch of mud and grime and gross stuff on the floors. What is with the stupid drain holes on TJ's? There are only a couple normal round ones and then there are these dumb oval shaped ones that are all painted over and you have to bust thru the paint to pry them out. Anyway, it was quite a job but looks 200% better now. I was looking at the tires-they are 245's on 16 inch rims. SO what is a 245 equivalent to in terms I can understand? They look about the size of 31's to me. You know, that sounds awful small to me. Maybe I looked at it wrong and they are 295's. I guess I'll have to check again. Duh.
a 245/75R16 is roughly a 31" tire... that's what comes stock on a Rubicon.
Jenny, get us the whole string of numbers off the tire... three number slash two numbers R16 is what it will be. Regardless what the kids who dunno WTF they are talking about say, all of those numbers are needed to tell you the equivalent inch tire size.

By Scramblerman72 - 5/8/2007 11:43:40 PM

305 is 33
but its really on the other # as the bigger # is the tread WIDTH and the the 2nd # is the % of the tread width for the height of the sidewall from rime to the center of the tire and the 3rd the rim size
so a 305/75/17 is taller then a 305/70/17

Said fuggit to the pool and sandbox
More progress... stock LCA mounts ground off and the new ones tacked on. Axle end is now completely mocked up here, approx. at ride height.
Had a pretty good model of what I wanted in the 4-Link calc spreadsheet before I started... updated it with actual link mount points. Frame side adj UCAs make anitsquat adj from from approx 80% to 135%.
Got the axle back under the jeep and the frame-side link mounts roughly located. Went to fab the crossmember for the lowers and realized that the piece of 2x2x0.25 sq tube I had was 2" too short. Fawk Anyway, got the adjustable upper frame mounts fabbed up and ready to weld onto the frame...
Hopefully I'll get a chance to swing by the steel place tomorrow on my way home from work and get more square tube for the crossmember. With any luck, the rear axle will be swinging in a few days
Problems I am already seeing: Rear anti-sway bar is gonna be "challenging" to get hooked up... links are all in the way of the stock configuration. Might have to go with a Currie and modify the rear crossmember/bumper to accomodate Also, I have nofawking idea how I am gonna get both a cat and muffler plumbed up with those links all in the way I'll have to get creative when I cross that bridge

I'm hoping to get my front and rear lockers installed before the trip, but even if it doesn't happen Me and the Mrs. are still in.
The only change would be that we are thinking about not bringing the fryer, due to it being a PITA to clean, especially without running water.

Well then i guess camp-a-while isn't going to work either.
Maybe there are some small campsites around somewhere that aren't super well known. I'll look in the phone book.

is it me or the more i build my jeep the more i have left to do to finish?

Jenny, I had 4:88 in my 44's, I have 4:56's now, BUT I have a Dana 300 to go along with a Tera Low kit. How much it is going to be driven on the road? BTW, 80 w/ 35's isn't that like 50-60 or something like that. Take a GPS out with you and you will get a better idea of how fast you are going. MY .02

I'll probably have to hotel it cause there is no way I'll be able to move my heavy camping gear around much less trying to get in or out of the air mattress in the tent. Hell, I don't even know if I can get in and out my jeep. Haven't tried since my accident.

I know what you mean. I walked on my trailer and about fell thru one of the boards. I need to replace them before I can put my jeep on it. Then I have to make a way to drive over the fenders. We have a tropical storm blowing thru tomorrow and I have a make up day of college next weekend. My time is severely short.

It's a bit of a haul from where you are at, but Elias 4WD Center in Townsend is a good shop that I try to pimp recommend. I had them do R&P installs and some other bigger work for me before I had a garage.
If you are interested, I have RE stuff - 4 LCAs, rear UCAs, and rear trackbar+bracket. It's used, for sure, but all the joints still have life left in them and nothing is fawked. I keep meaning to post all my old short arm stuff up for sale but I never get a chance.
Oh, and when you re-gear, get nothing less than 4.88s... you're 4 squirrells will thank you

Nate, Thanks for offering to pick up the Turkey, we should be safe with a bird 15-18 pounds. I was going to pick one up so I could get it thawed, seasoned, and ready to fry so we don't have to mess around with all the nastyness at the campsite, but if you want to handle that, that would be cool too.
Like one turkey is ever enough?
Thanks on the turkey specs.
What do you usually season it with?

Yea, you got that right. Inspections suck.
I managed to find a good shop, that looks at important stuff, like... you know, the brakes, and safety type things.
He doesnt care about how tall/wide your vehicle is, as long as it appears safe to him.
I even asked him, if i went SOA, and taller/wider tires, would i have a problem getting inspected. He paused for a second, and said as long as it didnt look hacked together, he'd pass it.
Cant complain there.

if we stay at RC we can do more wheeling and less screwing round trying to get there. then if people want to go shower at a motel, they can. Others can wheel. Thats probably the best way to roll. do we know if RC is cheap to camp?
