April 24-25th Badlands Run

XJ Stryker · 03-11-2009, 04:58 PM

Anyone down for a run through that weekend. Winterfest was such a blast we are trying to plan another one that weekend on NAXJA! It would give a lot of you CFers a chance to test your rig before we all get together in June. This is a unofficial event so it will kinda just be hey you lets go! I can still promise a good time though.

Post up if you are in and have any questions. Just getting back from Winterfest a few days ago everything is still fresh in my head!

might beable to make that date an should have lift and new tires on by then so it would be good place to check it out.

REWSTER · 03-12-2009, 07:56 AM

well see when it gets a little closer, i will mark my calender

89eliminator · 03-12-2009, 09:05 AM

count me out for that one. we will be in TN the weekend before and wont be returning till the wednesday before this run. wont have enough cash, time, energy to go.

96 XJ Sport · 03-12-2009, 10:07 AM

I hope I can make this one because I can't be there in June. Gotta have my lift on to go, though. Old tires are way too dry rotted to trust on the trail and new 31s won't work well at stock height...we'll see how it goes.

At WF we had 3 stock XJ's only one got stuck and that is becuase he didn't air down. Once you get your lift give me a call or what ever and I will help you put it on!

You guys that are just SCARED of breaking trust your Jeep they are awesome pieces of machine.

I drove a 22 yr old vehicle two days in Badlands and didn't even get a scratch and my rig is not nearly as built as some of youin's.

Another thing for Badlands I would reccomend Rock Rails over Lift initially! Also the steering skid to protect your alternator from some of the mud!

Eric when you want to go to pull-a-part again I am starting to get the ITCH!

That's an awfully kind offer...I'll give you a call, maybe in the next few weeks. I'm not afraid to run er stock if it wasn't for the tires and something bangin in the front suspension like maybe a shot bushing in the sway bar or control arm. My poor XJ is crying out for a lift!

I'm ready for the pull-a-part again, too. I noticed the other day that they have 5 new XJs since the last time we went. What about this weekend?

bmyohn · 03-12-2009, 07:35 PM

i will be there, just gotta convince the girlfriend to camp out friday night with me lol

XJ Stryker · 03-30-2009, 07:51 AM

Well I am out! Falls the same weekend as opening day for Tee-ball and I am the coach of the team

JeepCoMJ · 03-30-2009, 09:47 PM

So who all is in for sure.

I've already taken off work, as has my brother...and don't we want to be the only people there lol. this is my late b-day celebration lol, so let's make it a fun time.

hopefully 89eliminator and JakeWI are gonna be able to make it. and if JakeWI's bro stops being a p***y and buys his lift and tires he'd be around too.

I'll have my friend Aaron's smittybuilt winch on the truck for the trip, but don't really want a reason to test it out...my electrical hasn't been sufficiently upgraded yet to handle strenuous winch activity, though I just installed my idle-up switch

Just need to know who is going so we can set up times. I guess if

96 XJ Sport · 03-31-2009, 01:56 PM

I wanna come, but I seriously doubt my rig is going to be ready. I now have a large wooden swing set to put together first, LOL. Priorities

If anyone has room and is willing to let me and my 6 yr old son ride along, I may consider coming without the XJ. Will bring food

JeepCoMJ · 03-31-2009, 04:33 PM

if I had an XJ I'd say come on...but I doubt you guys are gonna appreciate riding in the bed lol.

96 XJ Sport · 03-31-2009, 08:36 PM

Aw, come on, strap an old couch back there and we're good! JK, probably been 20 years since I rode in the bed of a truck and I don't plan to do it again!

Mattpar · 04-13-2009, 07:38 PM

dang it! I work that weekend,... Lame!
