June 9th Rausch Creek trail ride

Well, on June 9th is our schedule monthly run, by reading the MeetUp site, I see there are a lot of you broken , my heart goes out to you, I am in the same boat. However, I don't see many takers going this month or am I wrong?

Right now there will be some 3 to 4 Jeep on the agenda to go to Rausch Creek on the 9th, if you are going or want to go, please make a mention here. If you are not going, there is no reason to mention anything. Ijust need to know who is going and how many rigs will be there. I am hopefull my rig will be ready and running to make this run, if not I welcome the opportunity to ride right seat. Let me know.... Our meeting time and location remains the same as always. See the meetup site for more details.

you might want to move this to the upcoming section instead of the post trail ride section. I wil not be going though

I'll be there, and maybe two other jeeps as well..TBD

I'm out. And I was really hoping to get out with the club this month. Maybe August.

I'm in for at least sunday. Maybe saturday but camping is a def. I doubt the YJ will be ready by then. But this will be a good chance to get the WJ out and see what she can do. So if there are any one out there that wants to go to just check out the park and run the greens and fire roads your welcome to come along. I'm taking the newbies

Planning on it but still running the stocker if we have enough to split to an easy and hard groups. Looks I will have to wait til mid june for the lift. Good side is may be able to swing a 4" ( looks like I'm leaning toward http://www.quadratec.com/products/16207_016.htm and a 1" body lif) rather than just the 2" budget. But that doesnt help for this run.

I may be in for both days if I can wheel two trips in june.

Check out this link for a 4" lift, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-Suspension-Lift-Kit-for-TJ-Jeep-Wrangler-1997-2006_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33585QQihZ003QQitemZ130116652100QQrdZ1

We may be in for the 9th...greens & light-med blues. Been looking at
used mod Jeeps to run the hell out of so my DD won't get too beat up.
But unless I get my hands on one by then it'll be the DD for this run.

V-

El Toro is still sick, but we will try to be there in Golden Eagle.

Looks like I am in. I'm planning on heading up on Friday night with the family, wife and 2 kids are coming. With the uncertainty of the camping situation at Rausch and the requirement for showers when the wife is along we are going to camp at a local campground. We will be wheeling saturday and sunday. Blue and black trails.

Hey, I'm pretty sure that I can make it. I am with Patty and Victoria, I will stay with Greens and Lt Blues. I am still a bit gun shy after my last outing. My DD has 33's with only a 2" lift, I am not in the mood to hurt her.

Can't make it Sat. I have a lacrosse playoff game. If we lose I'll be there for the Sunday run.

I'm out. wrenching, birthday party and a wedding to go to. I tried to get out of it but I'm stuck.

Heyyyyyy!!!! I am picking up my rig Wednesday night, she will have 5:66 gears, Ha! I am getting excited again, haven't been wheeling for 2 months and going crazy....Looking forward to see the new members and the old alike. I haven't decided about camping though, I prefer the coolness and comfort of a room, with a warm shower, TV and whatever company I may have.

I'm a broke, jobless happy camper again, at least for this month. Got to get a job in July after the PA Jeep Show. If you are going and need to call me 443-865-0504

5:66 gears The limit on a Dana 30 is 4:88's. Tico make sure you breaking those gears before you go wheeling on them or drive it on the highway. When you get it the best way to break them in is take a couple trips around your local area to break in the gears.

I'll let you know for sure later tonight.

I'm definitely in. will by staying at the comfort inn at exit 100 sat through sunday and wheeling both days. bringing the family along.

Oh boy! I am excited about getting out again this weekend. It's been to long for me and I miss my trail friends. With the new gears and repairs I should handle just about everything. After this weekends trip, it’s going back to the shop for major mod’s; new fabrication of a long arm kit and other stuff. I will be McMahon’s Fabrications guinea subject!
I will be getting pictures of the damages I had and the repairs thereafter.

i like eating porky but i will not be there also i thought that the lowest ratio for a d30 is 4:56 and a d35 is 4:88.???...l tico do you have lockers front and rear now?

Tico had a locker put in the front last fall sometime and he has the stock LS in the rear as of before the rear blowing up on him. I was trying to figure out what his gearing setup was going to be. 4:88's are the max gearing that you can install in a Dana 30.

Tico what gears did you get installed in your rig? Did you get a upgrade kit for the Dana 35 ?

OK, I see I got everyone confused , Nester, Bill, and Von, yes I now have 4:56 gears front and back with lockers. I am dangerous now, the temptation is killing me, I have to balance my tires today and stop the wobling I am experiancing. I forgot to get the pictures but I will have them soon. I also bend the axle housing on my last turn at TOMB STONE. GOD knows what I will do next!

Did someone say PIG Roast? Mummmmm I am hungry already, sign me up!

Yeah well blowing up a Dana 35 is a cake walk. I have blown spider gears, bent both axle tubes, the mounts are all busted and all the seals are trashed. I will be so happy to have that thing put in the trash next week.
