Walker Valley Run Wednesday, 15 July 09

BuckB91XJ · 07-13-2009, 12:03 AM

The boy (1987XJ) and I (BuckB91XJ) worked all weekend getting his 4.56 gears put in. They are done and we are planning a trip up to Walker Valley, Wednesday, to see how well they work. Anybody who wants to come along post up. It's the boy's normal day off. I am going to be sick that day....lol. Should be a good time. We've had a little rain so the trails shouldn't be all dry and boring. His Jeep broke on Expressway the last time we were up there together so, that is the first trail he wants to run. I'm going go up the rock face on Expressway...even if I have to cheat and use the hook. Wednesday is perfect because we won't have the normal 1.2 Bazillion bikes up there like on the weekends.

i would love to run with you to test out my jeep but it wont be together by then. have a good time!

BuckB91XJ · 07-13-2009, 01:31 PM

Well, I am wanting to get back down there and run Evans Creek again now that the snow has melted. How does this next weekend look for you??

tampaviking · 07-13-2009, 08:49 PM

I need to replace my steering box, but I would like to go to Evan's again.

I have one off of an 88

If I can't find one off of a GC this weekend I might get that one from you. I kinda want to grab one with the pitman arm still attached.

98CherokeeSport · 07-13-2009, 11:32 PM

i am hoping to have the jeep back in running order and i want to run up to evans at the end of next week. no promises. it depends on how long it takes to get my gears installed.

BuckB91XJ · 07-14-2009, 12:09 AM

Bobby,

I could pull the steering box with pitman arm attached off of my son's 88 parts Jeep and meet you somewhere halfway. Hell, you can have the PS pump, too, if you need that. Don't mess with grabbing one from the scrap yard. This one is free because you're a friend. Let me know if you want to do it.

Buck

BuckB91XJ · 07-14-2009, 12:10 AM

Brandon,

Gears are easy, though, I have to say I would much rather put new gears in a Dana axle than one of those ChryCo 8.25's any day.

BuckB91XJ · 07-14-2009, 11:29 PM

The boy and I are heading to Walker Valley at 0930 Wednesday morning. We plan to take a lot of pics.

tampaviking · 07-15-2009, 08:52 PM

Brian, would saturday be good for you. I still have that axle shaft and hub. It is from a non disco axle, so I don't know if it is the same kind you need.

BuckB91XJ · 07-16-2009, 12:57 AM

Bring it along. I'll take a look at it and see if I can use it. So, where would you like to meet up? The PS pump and hoses are already spoken for but, you can have the Steering box with pitman arm.

tampaviking · 07-16-2009, 09:11 PM

On saturday I got to pick up my father in law at SEA/TAC at 1625. So I would like to meet sometime before that. I could drive all the way through Seattle and mee you somewhere on your side. It's really up to you. Any time around 1500-1530 is ok with me.
