CORE Ultimate Adventure?

KargoMaster · 08-12-2010, 09:07 PM

I might be able to be on standby with a trailer if needed... just thinking that might be some nice insurance...

sarge · 08-13-2010, 09:16 PM

ha ! at this point I might have my junk back on the road !!! got to take it to the dealer to have a new ECM flashed ....... hopefully have it fixed ...... I'm shooting for the benefit b ut maybe the Adventure will happen ........

If I can find a place to work on my junk and swap my D300 front outputs and build some quick twin stick shifters I may be able to make it if it is the October 23 weekend... hopefully that is enough time after moving to bug the wife about more Jeep stuff

KargoMaster · 08-31-2010, 10:42 AM

tell me more of this d300 output swap... are you going 32 spl for the front (cuz that will require some machining) or just replacing stock bits... (If that is the case I have an extra stock front output if you need it...)

I know now that I will not be going on this one... (fawk drama) so I would be happy to help if I can...

flatlander757 · 08-31-2010, 07:30 PM

I have another stock D300 case that I need to swap the front outputs... I was stupid and hacked off BOTH of the shifter ears early on the build... at the time I was pretty dead-set on either cable shifters or air-actuated shifters... not I'm more a fan of keeping as much crap simple as possible.

Though I don't -need- it from you, I'll gladly throw some money or beer at you for it... I'd like to have an extra so I can get it machined for whenever I DO decide to go 32spline.

I'm probably going to eventually go to Toyota joints and 32 splines for my front shaft whenever I grenade the 1310 axleshaft/square tube abortion of a driveshaft I made... It takes a beating but I replace the joints for getting loose every time or two out... I guess a 4500ish lb jeep sitting on the front shaft and on the rev limiter will do that that

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?

gothodgie · 09-02-2010, 02:53 PM

i think the Nov date would be good. There seems to be a few things going in Oct that we would have to work around. I don't think it would be to cold in early Nov, unless we go straight from summer into winter. Which we all know here in good ole Cincinnati could happen.

I'll be up for it when ever we decided to do it.

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.

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

Red Dog · 09-12-2010, 06:29 PM

The 9th i can do, going out of town the weekend of the 23rd. Is there an option to meet up on saturday morning at haspen then again on sunday morning. My better half doesn't do the camping thing.

Red Dog · 09-12-2010, 06:44 PM

my fault i missed pages 2 and 3. I can do Nov. 5 weekend. Other items still apply, if i go by myself i can camp, if i bring the rest of the crew we can meet you there. If we go to a hotel, we might as well run home and meet ya at big rock. Is this set in stone yet?

Only thing set in stone is the date. We're definitely doing something at a couple places. Still deciding the places and rules associated. More at the meeting and will publish details.

itbrokeagain · 09-12-2010, 09:50 PM

I would like to go. What is the deal on trailers? I drove mine on 275 for the first time in about 8 years yesterday. 60 was my absolute max. I am up for no trailer as long as others are too. Makes it more ultimate!!!!! My spare will be a 39.5 Irok. Will look funny with 37s but oh well.
