Great pictures and videos guys. Next time we go out I will have a GoPro or two and get some better video footage.

 

I had one with me. Only used it once though because I don't have a vehicle mount.

 

Looked like a good time

 

What a great time! I will make plans for sure for a run with all of you as soon as I can. Thinking rear diff needs some work though...next spring early for sure!

 

By the way, did anyone need/ use front locker while there? Thought about one a while back.

 

Mine was the white xj, I think my main issue was clearance of the diffs. Im runnin 31s. A locker would have been nice as well, so bigger tires and lockers are on the list. As well as bumps tops and cut and trim the fenders.

 

I think me and vonguido were the only ones without lockers.

 

The rubi and myself were locked front and rear.

The other dark cherokee was locked in the rear.

But on the trails we were on tires were the key, not lockers.

There was a bit of goo on the ground, the agressive tires worked well.


Lockers are nice, but they are for much more difficult trails.

The problem I have running full locked is on the more difficult trails, your chance at doing body damage greatly increases.

That is why I still firmly believe good suspension, and good tires are number one.

Number two is body armor to protect your pretty xj.

And lastly is lockers.

I mean if you don't have rock sliders, don't waste money on lockers unless you don't care if your doors ever shut again. I have knocked both tail lights off multiple times. That is why side armor is my next investment. Should have gotten side armor and bumpers before my lockers. I did it backwards.


Anyway, that is just my opinion from my own experience.

 

Just out of curiosity what ever happened to making that jeep club we were talking about after the quaker steak get together?

 

To be quite honest with you we had only 3 guys show up from this forum besides myself.

I brought a friend, and creepin brought a friend. That was with over a month notice!!!!

We had a ball yes, and a great group.

But I am not interested at this time in a club of 4.

When we get more guys showing up, I would be willing to put some effort into it.


Clint Heiney will rent me the farm. WE could start a club there. WE NEED about 10 guys willing to come at about 35bucks a pop.

Now who is in? Fill the 10 spots and I am whit ya. We will start a club.

 

Well I would be able to fill 4 spots easy ( between my brothers me and my dad) if we ever do that. Provided it was on a good weekend.(If we ever do this)

 

Thanks Michael. Then its hopeful. I would be willing also. But we would need more.

 

Indeed, I do not have lockers. When I do get lockers it will probably be the rear first, I have a D44 in the rear so when I get a locker I will go to a 35 spline axle shaft while I'm there, debating between a ARB, Yukon Zip or OX locker. The front I'm not in a rush to do yet.

Besides I still have a lot of other things on the list that I need to get done first before lockers as holycaveman said.
