It's time for a rain dance!! Best of luck guys, wildfire season sucks!!

 

I installed the 8.8 in my rig, i tryed to do a detailed write up on the install and setup. Check out my thread and see if it helps. if you need more info drop me a line and i might be able to help. Page 5 and 6 of 1988 Redneck ride

 

Yep, I had Family living in Heber/Overgaurd at that time, My grandmother had a mobile home that was destroyed in that one. Luckily My Uncle's house was on the other side of 260 andwasn't touched. That was a bad one, from the sounds of things this one will be bigger.

I heard this morning that the town of greer was comprimised. I used to go to a camp there as a kid and just this last summer my I rented a cabin with my GF, glad I got to show her it before all of this happened.

 

Yes sir. Greer was compromised. Straight from the Incident website, here's the announcement

"The property damage has been assessed in the community of Greer. In total, 22 homes lost, 5 damaged, 24 out-buildings, and 1 vehicle. Apache County Sheriff's Officials are in the process of notifying the property owners."

http://www.inciweb.org/incident/2262/:
Firefighters have achieved 18% containment of the 469,407-acre Wallow Fire. While the Wallow Fire is now the largest wildfire in Arizona's history, significant progress has been made towards containment. A previously destroyed structure at Pool Corral, in the Greer area, was confirmed yesterday. Mop up of backing fire continues in the Alpine and Tal Wi Wi communities. Burnout operations continue from FR 220 south to US 180. Structure protection activities continue in Nutrioso and Alpine. Mop up and widening of containment lines continues in the Greer and South Fork areas. Electricity has been restored to Greer and South Fork.
There was poor humidity recovery overnight and humidity will remain low today. Firefighters continued with structure protection, line improvement and mop-up on the eastern flank. Roads, dozer lines and natural barriers are being improved for use as containment lines. Crews worked to strengthen these lines along FR 281. The fire remains active in unburned areas of the fire. Good progress has been made on the fire's southeast flank, where crews are working to slow the spread of fire and continue to build and improve containment lines and mop-up. There was minimal movement last night. On the west flank, the fire is backing to the south and further southern spread is expected.
Firefighters made good progress at strengthening and holding existing control lines and are mopping-up north of Black River. Firelines immediately south of Black River are holding. Construction of 8-10 miles of indirect line along the south end of the fire continues in preparation of a planned burnout when conditions are optimal. Along the southwestern and southern flanks, extremely dry fuels and low relative humidity will continue to result in active fire behavior and longer burning periods.

 

Hey AZ,

Went near Castle Hot Springs

 

Next time keep going up to Crown King.

 

I have, its an awesome trip. Will do it again soon for sure.

 

Since my xj is down right now(sye and 8.8 install) goin down to bulldog with a buddy from work tomorrow, if you see us, don't be shy, stop us. this should be awesome, doin this kinda early though (no a/c). Hit us up, names anthony, we will be in a green xj., see y'all out there!

 

Just bought another Jeep. 5th one an XJ. /I am actually looking for another low mile 2000-2001 loaded XJ if anyone knows of one for sale

 

Theres a ton of them on craigslist. I suggest trying there regularly.

 

new member here. my wife has an xj that i'm allowed to play with now. the xj is gonna need some TLC, but i'm convinced that its still a sound vehicle. i've done the car modding and i know it gets costly, but i'm just looking to build her up to a fun offroading jeep with camping in mind.

 

Looked there a TON but nothing low mileage... Or for a good deal.

I picked one up and posted pics in the what you did today thread though. going to pick it up on Sunday
