So it looks like we have freed up some time Monday for Creekside.

Need to check if the park is open Monday though as their site states friday through sunday.

normally you can call them to let them know you have a small group comin, and they are pretty accomodating.

I thought about doing that mod once but the mechanical fan sounds cool lol

I emailed them but no response back yet. As of right now it seemed to be just you talking about going so I was in for a run to test out the brackets I made. Seems no-one is going now.

I have read that if you get the fans off of a Lexus that can cool a 350 no problem, but I do not know if they will fit on a XJ.

Yea the Taurus fans are 2200 CFM and most jy's have em. Just make sure you run it through a relay with the power straight from the battery as they really pull the juice.

i might be going to down south off-road park on Sunday and was wondering what to expect? I have a 3in lift with 30in km2s. pretty sure I can handle most of the stuff there. but I would like some advice from an experienced person who has knowledge of this park.

I agree. I have not been there but I have looked at quite a few vids and there are some spots that you will want to stay out of.

Take a look at the first one, and then watch the rest. The first one has an extremely built XJ LOL

Click on the title not the video as it wont work. The title will give you the search results.... stupid auto youtube website thing

You might want to call first and check on pricing. They have been having some bands and stuff out there and it gets kinda expensive. I think Saturday is Cory Morrow band and it usually costs $40 per person to get into the park.....and that is kids as well. Maybe sunday the prices will be back to normal.

Like someone else said....there are some DEEP holes out there. There is a guy that will pull you out for a pretty good chunk of cash....
