June Club Run, 6-21 day trip to Haspin

WrenchMonkey · 06-07-2014, 03:02 PM

** Polling is done, Haspin it is! **

The June ride is scheduled for the 21st, but Mud Madness was just sorta penciled in as a placeholder.

At the meeting last week, we talked about running a poll to see where everybody really wanted to go. So, here it is!

I personally would like to keep it local, since we've scheduled a lot of three-day trips for the rest of the year. We've also been invited out to Rich's to do a little trailcutting. Of course, if the majority would rather do something bigger and farther, that'll work too.

I've got DTOR, Haspin, MMadness, and Rich's off the top of my head. I think I should be able to add any suggestions to the list...

Vote early, vote often, vote for any and all the places you'd like to go. The poll is set to close next Sunday, but hopefully we'll have a decision made before then.

Thanks!
Robert

And while we're at it, I guess we might as well get a head count together:

Me!

I hope I am able to go. My jeep as of yesterday is back on the ground.

My wife just picked up her own sami and needs to break something so I guess I'm in.

WrenchMonkey · 06-12-2014, 04:41 PM

Cool. So that's:

Me, Robert
Jeff - TJRider
Tom - ComancheDude
Scott - 94Truggy
Dan - Biggin69
Nick - Coppertop
Tim - Timido
W - Disney

It's looking like Haspin is the popular vote. Is that okay with everybody? Would anybody skip Haspin but go elsewhere?

(I've been downgraded to a "hopefully." Nine days out and I'm still looking for Jeep axle parts, the trailer ramps still need rebuilt, and the tow rig may need a crank sensor... Bah.)

Robert

biggin69 · 06-12-2014, 09:54 PM

I'm cool with haspin.

timido · 06-12-2014, 10:19 PM

A day trip is welcome. Haspin it is.

BlackCJ · 06-13-2014, 05:02 PM

I'm in. I haven't been wheeling in WAY too long.

Coppertop · 06-14-2014, 05:26 PM

Haspin,is fine.Now,I need to get the heep ready.....

Nick

monkeystrong · 06-14-2014, 07:50 PM

I'm gonna be a maybe for this ride. If I'm off work I will plan to go.

tjrider · 06-14-2014, 07:56 PM

I'm sure my parasitic twin Brian will go.

Coppertop · 06-15-2014, 06:33 PM

Progess has been made, anyway. The front axle is all back together. And while the pinion seal (still) leaks like a sieve, the bearings didn't make any scary noises on the way to work today. Still needs a driveshaft, but it looks like the XJ should be good to go.

I still have lots to do to get the trailer ramps mounted, and I haven't been able to duplicate the problem with the Burb. Maybe it's fixed? Maybe it's waiting for the worst possible time to die again...

Remind me about how this is all fun!

See y'all Saturday!

Robert

biggin69 · 06-17-2014, 02:18 PM

Scratch my name off of the list as I will not have time to wheel this weekend.

tjrider · 06-17-2014, 09:16 PM

I have a new interior rack and full cage now, I'm ready to wheel. I worked all winter in between subzero temps on this bastard. I want to see the pay off

WrenchMonkey · 06-18-2014, 01:27 PM

Trailers about done. Still need a ujoint for the XJ front drive shaft, but it's looking like I'll make it!

And they're downgrading the chance of rain, so that's cool...
