I want to organize a trip to the Badlands on October 26th. My Dad has never been offroading before and it's his birthday so I'm going to take him out to the Badlands. I'd like to get a decent size group to go - so who's in???

Meet at 9am at the usual place by the shelter we usually eat lunch at. (Just North of the entrance road and East of the main building for those of you who don't know)

OK... roll call. Here's the list:

Actually I was hoping to take my parents in the fall (they love the leaf change). That and I owe it to them; my life in the womb was spent riding with my mom in their CJ7.

[Jeepin' Rock Climber]

10/26 is the fall. So you'll be there?

[JeepGrl97TJ]

That's a definite possibility, but I dunno if I wanna do a day trip again :(
Maybe it could be a .... bring-your-parent-to-the-Badlands trip...maybe I can bring my mom :D

We could make it a "Bring Your FAMILY Wheeling" event for those of us that are a tad bit older. Parents, children, spouses, significant others, and random people you hooked up with the night before are welcome.

[magnolia]

Hmmm, well that is also my birthday weekend (alright it is two days after my birthday but who's counting). I will have to see how I am feeling at that juncture as I will be 7 months pregnant at that time. :eek: :eek: I could fit right into this whole bring your parent theme though, cuz munchkin is bringing me!
I will have to get back on this one once the date comes closer.
Maggie

[RedTJ]

Hey I hooked up with some of you guys on the 9/7 trip, and am itching to go back, so if the schedule works out I will be there (at least for the green trail and quarry). Thanks to everyone for letting us tag along on the 7th, and I hope to see you all on the 26th.

-Ed-Glad you had a good time... welcome to the board! I'd recommend getting some quick disconnects on your Jeep -- you'll notice a huge difference next time you're out!

[binfordw]

OR- if your cheap like me,

Just remove the front swaybar and try it- Im sure you'll never want your swaybar connected while offroad again- then you can buy disconnects if you want.

[RedTJ]

I am hoping to get the quick disconnects, but figure if Santa doesn't deliver early I will bring the wrench with to pull them at the badlands and put them back in before I leave. Is it a major job to get them rebolted?

[binfordw]

I'd go ahead and bust the bolts loose now, make sure you can get the links off the actual bar- the links are pressed in the bar and can be a pain to get out.

I took the whole thing off because of that reason, and just never have felt the need to put it back on ;) Course I dont drive like Mario Andretti either-

[ 09-19-2002, 07:33 AM: Message edited by: tinknocker ]

[RedTJ]

just taking the bottom bolts out is what I was thinking about. I think I will play with it this weekend and see how it goes. maybe test it out on one of the car ramps I have and see how much better it is. I tried the cement blocks at the badlands and didn't get very far before I ran out of stroke.

[Chris O'Neill]

well regretfully i must back out spent 725 on tires at the jambo and decided to do the lift gona start tearing her down fri fot the soa at least im not jsut ussing out its for a good reason gota get the jeep upin the air to clear the 35's

chris

[jkirisits]

Cris,

sounds like a good reason not to go... take pics. oh, what do you know about that 4x4 place on north washington?

john

[bya72]

I might be able to make on the 26th. A few unexpected mods have left me broke. So I have to wait to see what the funds are like. But I want to try a few new things out before winter.

So whats the head count so far???

IM IN!! 1.

[bya72]

I didn't say unexpected repairs, I said unexpected mods. hehe There is a difference. I didn't have to do what I did, but it still left me broke.

[RedTJ]

Those are the best kind of Repairs. Always more enjoyable doing the work and spending the money.

[bya72]

I got most of my mods for less than half of what it would have cost me buying new. Just found out that the better half has plans for me that weekend, so I am out. The next weekend I have free looks to be in Nov sometime. Till then the jeep stays on the road. :( But that will just make the next wheeling trip that much sweeter. Besides, I am stil trying to recover what I spent. haha

[Suzjeep]

Hey, Creep!! Yeah, you, Bya72!! You go and get married on us when we weren't looking?? :D :D ;)

Hey, I don't get married that quickly. I have to wait at least a few more weeks. :D :D I likes to ride in the jeep, and she is not interested taking it over!!! I think I found a keeper. :D

[RedTJ]

Ok I was trying to figure out what SOA stands for but can't come up with anything that fits. Can someone enlighten me please. I'm hoping it's not dead obvious :confused:
BTW got the quick disconnect pins in place of the sway bar bolts, can't wait to try it our now.

[bya72]

SOA is "spring over axle". A common way to lift YJ's by having the springs go over the axle instead of under the axle. It is good for about 5 inches of lift. TJ's cannot do it, only leaf sprung jeeps.

Thanks !

[RedTJ]

Wolfie, I will be going on this run. i'm running a stock 2002 tj. I will only be running the quary and green trail. I ran with them in september and only got hung up once. I just happen to run into the group that time and they let me tag along. These people are great. Hope to see ya there.

Second time out, green is still a rush. first time out was spent trying to get to know what a Jeep could do. this time I'm ready to relax and have some fun. Besides this is also my daily transportation to work. Looks like santa is going to be bringing new tires, so next spring we will have to see what that does. smile.gif

[RedTJ]

Almost forgot, wolfe check you Personal messages, we can discuss travel plans.

[Jeepin' Rock Climber]

Hehe... this is on the green trail also:

I can't miss Jeff's first (Q'tec) trail ride! :D

Besides... this is more in my budget than my Jeepclub's planned trip to KY. smile.gif

Yeah, thanks Aaron. No problem. It's usually a bad idea to let me lead because I tend to see a turn off, decide that I can make it and go for it, abandoning the trail and all sense of where I am in the park.

hey y'all watch this! Hmmm... how's that redneck joke go? :D

[Jeeper4Life]

WOOHOO!!!! i'm gonna get a GOOD test of the new 32" tsl's smile.gif

no more bypasses for me smile.gif

although, i have to say, in my 5 times that i've been to the badlands, 4 were bone stock, with the stock GS/A's, and the last one i had only added the daystar 2" spacers.. so there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with running stock through green OR orange.. wickedwyld and alpine have both run stock YJ's through green and orange CONNECTED.. it's the man, not the machine..

but the swampers ain't gonna hurt ;)

[JeepInFlames]

Hello all. This is Bill from Indy Jeepers. I won't be running on their OFFICIAL runs anymore, but I know some of you guys from the club;(Gettle, Aaron, Dave) and wish to run with you guys in the future when I get my own Jeep in Jan/Feb after my divorce is final. I love XJ's and not ruling them out, but it's time for a Wrangler!

Thanks, Bill :D

Take my name off of the list. My best friend is getting married at 2:30 that day. I am now best man. I already tried to talk him into changing the date, or not getteing married, but he is set on it...

FINALLY! tongue.gif
Hope to see you there man!

[magnolia]

OK, you can offically take me off the list for this run.
My cousin is throwing me a baby shower that day so I guess I have to go to that. It was a tough decision though. Gifts or wheeling!

Maggie

[wolfe1]

Did you finally get your wife a Jeep?
No not yet- Pam won't be with me because we have a bun in the oven! Due in March and all the bouncing around would not be good-

MaggieMaggie, Maggie Maggie... just cause its your first child and all, not as big of a deal as meeting a bunch of folks to participate in your favorite hobby! C'moooon, there's lots of other days available for your very first baby shower, I mean of all days... reschedule that minor event in your life!

[kennedy]

well, it looks like I SHOULD be there. I have to work the Haunted House at VWMC fridaynight, I took saturday off so that we could go out for my sister's B-day, well, she has a pagent, so now I can go to Badlands. And since it appears that there will be people staying in Fortville then it appears that I will just leave work and make the short drive over to Mike &T's, the only catch is that I probably won't get off work til 2am, So I'll just sleep in my buddy's truck out in the road (yeah, my jeep is gonna be a trailer king for that weekend, don't want to risk anything).

[TERESIA]

Now Justin...you know if there isn't anyone up at that hour, we will leave the door open for you......of course Jeff is in charge of the ID's this time. ;) and no hopping in bed with anyone. :eek:

Less than a week :D

[All My Needs]

When and where is the meeting place? I'll probably meet everone just at the Badlands unless some people are planning on meeting at that rest stop on 74 first.

[bya72]

I might get let off the leash this Saturday!!! woo hoo!!! I just hope i can remember how to get out to Attica. 9:30 or so, behind the office? I will know more later this week if I can go. I am let off the leash, but lack the funds. The last trip to the badlands cost me a tire, and that was only a few weeks ago.

And yes Kristi, we know. Only a few more days. Getting a little excited?

[MADDNES95]

Just for info's sake....I'll be getting home from Toledo early on Friday...about 1 or so in the afternoon, so if anyone is coming out early, I'll be here, so come on over.
If anyone needs a phone number for directions, get intouch with Teresia, or myself.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone again..

Well ... hmmm, I could probably try to meet up with you guys also...

DereckVan- you're near Castleton right? I'm planning on leaving about 7:00 - 7:15 from my place. I'm on 82nd & Allisonville. If you want to meet up that's cool. I usually take 465 - 65N - 32W - 74 W - Exit 15 off of I-74 - Badlands. That saves the drive halfway around the circle to 74 which shaves 10 minutes off the drive.

[ImperialFleet]

Maiden voyage..... eeeeeexcellent. :D

Sounds like Dave has ya covered. If you're up north, it'd be way outta the way if you came to Greenwood. It's up to you. tongue.gif

I really really don't wanna ride solo on my first trip in my new TJ. My roommate works and I'm trying to contact two friends who could go. I work until 2am tonight, so only after then can I come home and say yes/no to meet you there. I guess check this board in the morning or something.</font>[/QUOTE](ladiesman tone) Um, yeaaaah, thas kewl.

Just got home from work, packing up gear. Heading to Southport and 31st street. Where... are... the... sugarfrostersugarflakeswithsugar? I guess I'll nap for oh... 2 1/2 hours when I get there. I hope ImperialFleet or AllMyNeeds sees me and come wakes me up. My Jeep is sans alarm clock :( I'll be on the corner of 31st and Southport Rd at 6:45 guys, I'll just be asleep, rofl. Look for a big black Sahara w/tan top and black everything else. If you have a cell, gimme a call, I'll have it right next to my head (812) 219-0852. Cya in a few hours, guys! Breakfast @ McDonald's involves lots of coffee, right? :D Later.

Hello to my IndyJeeper friends. How was the run? For those who asked, I won't have a rig until Jan at the earliest due to divorce stuff. Still looking at Wranglers.
I look forward to running with the unofficial QBB crew in the future!

BillHowdy Bill. The run was great -- we had like 28 Jeeps show up by my count. :eek: Good times were had by all (except those that got broken).

And as usual, Aaron's Jeep doesn't have a spec of dust on it. :rolleyes: :D

Hmmm... is it a good thing when you go to your Jeep Club's meeting and the president walks in and tells you that you need to clean your Jeep? :D :D

Hey now, just because poop happens, doesn't mean I didn't have a good time! That was probably one of my Top 3 Badlands runs that Saturday, even though I did break.

But, as you might recall, I took on some obstacles that nobody else was willing to do. In addition, I overcame obstacles that a locked YJ with 33" BFG MTs couldn't tackle, which I rack up to driving skill not the rig.

I had a blast, and as usual the day ended way too quickly. And yes I hardly got muddy at all! :D My favorite part was the 4lb chunk of rock I chiseled off of the quarry wall with my front bumper that was wedged in so hard I needed a hammer to remove it.

Any XJ's on your run?

How many from IndyJeepers?

Is the QBB Indiana crew planning any trips to Turkey Bay? I love that place! Tellico was of course awesome as well.

Later,
Bill

Later,
BillJeff, Aaron, and I were there. And even though Jeff got the IJ award for prettiest Jeep he got plenty of mud on it... almost as much as me!

Free Jeep wash today -- supposed to get almost an inch of rain. Can't wait to drive thru puddles during lunch to clean the underbody!
