Rush September 2nd -4th

Runoveru2 · 08-10-2016, 12:56 PM

Time to get back out to with Core at Rush Offroad and beat on your junk for the last time for 2016.

I currently have a few repairs that have to made in order to make this trip, it would take a miracle to get everything complete in time with my current insane schedule.

I know Kevin had a Tranny issue he is looking into along with a rear broken leaf spring

I know Jim Busch said he would not be able to make this Trip.

I know Mark is looking to get his new rear axle installed, I doubt this will keep em from going.

It's a good possibility a few of us will have our repairs complete before this trip.

So who all is in ?

Going: Jim C Runoveru2
Kevin 93 Krawler
Mark Waffle (As long as Sunfire gets Rig togther)
Zack Smiddy24
Jeff. Jeepmanjeff
Robert WrenchMonkey Sat-Sun
Chris. Cvaske. Fri - Sun
Brad. Blazerbrad (Out due to Wife's birthday)

93 Krawler · 08-10-2016, 01:24 PM

I'll be there with something...

Smiddy24 · 08-10-2016, 02:16 PM

I would like to make it out there, but all depends on my dads schedule.

No football games that weekend so a chance I could make it.

Drivermod · 08-10-2016, 06:26 PM

I'd love to go but will be on my way to Moab.

Runoveru2 · 08-11-2016, 01:54 AM

Got my propane issue fixed today, that will put me 1 step closer to making Rush trip, for those of you that Run Propane or plan too...If you loose the plug for your idle adjustment cap I PROMISE dirt and misc crap will get in there and cause problems even though Got propane said it wouldnt. The Major dust at Harlan or Windrock or wherever you may go is too much and gets into places it shouldn't.

93 Krawler · 08-15-2016, 01:33 PM

Trans and spring are good now. I'm ready.

monkeystrong · 08-15-2016, 09:58 PM

I'd like to ride along if someone has an open seat.

Not sure how many seats will be there yet. Its not looking good. Thought you had a sxs of some sort?

Runoveru2 · 08-16-2016, 07:01 PM

My bearing and race for my rear diff won't be in till at least next Monday for my rig, upon fixing broke stud in the rear housing I noticed metal on the drain plug. After inspecting 3rd member I noticed it didn't want to spin the way it should. Took it apart and discovered top pinion bearing race cracked in 2 places. Will try my best to get this thing together, would be nice if I had a day off somewhere between now and Rush.

No. I sold it last fall.

93 Krawler · 08-17-2016, 09:02 PM

I bet they get warm at windrock. That hill is a mother...

beer_goggles_009 · 08-18-2016, 01:15 PM

I second the "set them up tight" mantra. Drag racers also set them up tight for the same reasons. I ran the gears on my built stock axles set up slightly tighter than spec, setup by a professional who drag raced. They are still around about 7 years (on and off-road use) after initial setup on someone elses rig. And you guys know that I beat the hell out of that set of axles.

Smiddy24 · 08-18-2016, 03:48 PM

Gotta see if I can get off of work.. Stupid AutoZone.. Gonna try my best.

93 Krawler · 08-28-2016, 09:25 PM

Weather is looking great for the weekend. Perfect wheelin weather. 👍

Smiddy24 · 08-30-2016, 09:28 AM

We're looking to leave Fairfield, on Friday around 2-4pm so should be down there by mid-late afternoon.

93 Krawler · 08-30-2016, 10:17 PM

I should be there no later than 3 on friday

WrenchMonkey · 08-31-2016, 12:43 PM

Oh man the weather is looking good!

I should be down fairly early Saturday morning. Not middle of the afternoon like last time...

93 Krawler · 08-31-2016, 01:36 PM

I decided to take the little crawler and leave the big one at home. Bought a 20' toy hauler and wanted to try it out.

NICE!

I'd love something like that, but I really wouldn't use it enough to justify it, and I don't think they'll haul much more than your RZR anyway...

Anyway... Should I bring firewood Saturday? I guess we can never have too much.

The rzr barely fits. Should've gotten one with a 12' garage instead of 10'. I may trade up eventually.

Man that's a nice looking set-up.

I'll be down there with a group of SxS's..should be pulling in mid-morn on Fri. I'll keep my eyes open for your camp and we'll stop in and say hi.

Smiddy24 · 08-31-2016, 07:57 PM
