set a date I'm in , after all day at the dealer $$$$$$, alot of head scratching , and some guessing the rig is running great again. I got the 231 swapped in yesterday and all I have to do is make a new cross member and fab up the new front drive shaft. It will be in the woods this week end for test run number 2 ................

Lets see, if I can swap leafspring, build new front driveshaft, replace power steering hose, install ford 8.8.....................

Ok peeps. Are you serious about this? And when are we interested in it happening? October or November ? I'm wondering about Nov 6th...Too cold?

Ooo, early-mid November the ThrillKiller may be in Houston... Cat's away, mice'll play...

I agree that driving it would be cool, but are you/we camping the whole time?

The XJ just isn't equipped to tote three days of food, beverages and gear.

My idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service....

I would love to do this. If everything works out, I am in.

Well???? what was it?

[sarge]

it was a combo , computer was frag'd and the fuel spider . What we think was the computer took a crap and slammed #3 so hard it stuck and caused a dead hole ...... went to the dealer with 3 cylinders and came home with five ...... put a new spider in it and it runs great . spent all day in the garage today and got all the loose ends buttoned up and I'm ready .....

So how many days ya'll thinking? Just a weekend run (Sat/Sun)? Or more?

[T-bird]

I would really like to tag along on this ride, but not as built as most. I think a Friday, Saturday and Sunday run would be fun. The Friday run could be a optional night run, because a lot of people would be getting in at different times.

Are there going to be general guidelines on how built your rig should be. I would kill the road section in my DD TJ, but would need a bypass on the harder stuff off road.

[tjjeepjeep]

Initially getting a level of interest but seems like that is there. So now we're working on the specific details (who, what, where, when) but definitely plan on making it feasible for all levels of vehicles (my rig isn't locked).

How about CORE Almostimate Adventure ? :) (Thinking Tshirts and stickers)

After seeing the pictures and videos of the Big Rock ride over Labor Day , I am in for that part of the adventure. I may be limited to a single day, but hope to be part of this. The weekend of Nov. 5-7 was once mentioned. Is that still a go?

Even if I can do Haspin and the Big Rock, I WILL trailer the 3A between sites. My 3A does not have a cruising gear. 35 mph is about my cruising max.

This gives me a date to build some rock sliders by. Deadlines can be good.

Yes planning it for 11/5-11/7. Still working on the where all we will invade.

...How about CORE Almostimate Adventure ? :)

Do you really want to be able to abbreviate this subgroup within our community ---> AA? Dunno, maybe that was on purpose??

I dig the CORE UA concept... As a group, we're clearly higher on the trailering quotient than many... and for a variety of reasons (thanks for chiming in John... I can't get enough of that CJ-3a).

Completion of the CORE UA should be simple, run what you brung, fix what you break, no trailers, drive the whole thing... HOWEVER, exclusion of all others has never been our thing... if folks want to join in based on an approximate schedule (clearly subject to change) then I say that they are as welcomed to join in to enjoy some wheeling as any other trip...

Maybe we just hold the t-shirts/stickers for the finish line??


Just some thoughts to continue the conversation...
