Well the event went well, our sponsor donated a 75 dollar give certificate & Jeep Talk donated a Premium account, other prises were given away to JeepNaked cause he was the only yJ out there. Could have almost built a new yJ out of'em. :sneak:

So here we go, the rest can be found HERE

Then cam Rambo to the rescue, oh, wait, thought he was stuck but...no.

We did a poker run that evening & then some went to play the next day & ended up w/some carnage. Rambo's front DS froze up. Probably from lack of use :2:

Rear shock mount broke.

It was cool meeting you guys and putting faces to screen names. Probably the most fun I've had wheeling.

Looks like a good outing fellows. I'm glad all you had a good time. :read: :biggrin1:

I also enjoyed some of you checking in with me by cell with regards to taking parts of these Jeeps to sell. No problem as long as they are not from Rambo's Jeep because none of his parts work. :king1:

Rollbar, checked out your album link for the rest of the pictures... they look really nice. :read:
You getting better, did you buy a new lighter for the flash :2: :question: :bounce:

Oh,. not to mention my broken rear bumper. :( Guess I have to beef it up.

It was the BEST wheeling I have ever done, everything went very smooth, Rollbar and the Citrus Jeepers were awesome :bounce:. Thanks for the exciting night poker run because it was a blast :king1:. Even though it was not a race the non-local guys made it back to camp before the local guys did including Rollbar :2: :read: :question:

Once againg hats off :x to Rollbar and the Citrus Jeepers for an exellent ride.

You forgot to mentioned that we convinced you to really test your YJ :read: and once you disconnected your swaybar you were flexing like a champ.

The ride was great and the hospitality by the Citrus County Jeep Club was the best. :2thumup: Thanks to everyone that helped put the good time together. The poker run was an absolute blast driving those roads like BAJA racing at night. I have a bunch of pictures which I will post but I am too tired tonight (Plus I have to put my jeep of the month consent statement and date and time on all the photos I took!). Probably the best one of them all is my JK flat towing a TJ the hole way up and back.

South Florida Jeepers - I had a blast and would wheel with any of you again. Thanks for a great weekend.

Citrus County Jeepers - Rollbar and Scott and the rest of you, thanks for the hospitality and showing us around. :2thumup: :2thumup:

I'll definitely be back.

Rollbar, Marcus's TJ got great gas mileage and my JK towing that TJ got about the same gas mileage as Rambo's TJ by itself. But then again, he has inferior equipment and his extra weight! I am guessing about 10 to 11 mpg. Ran great thought. 2900 rpm at 65 to 70 mph with overdrive off.

Because he was lazy! No really, I wanted to prove that the JKs are all around better quality then the TJs. :2thumup: :2thumup: :2thumup: Actually we wanted to test if it would work if there was breakage on the ride and then we got thinking about how much money we could save in gas. We cut our gas cost in half because we split the cost.

For me gas mileage was great with a new air filter and the air intake horn removed as suggested by Rollbar :2thumup: It took 3/4 tank for me to get down to WPB. 1/2 tank to Ft Drum Service Plaza and 1/4 tank to Southern Blvd WPB :2thumup: :2thumup:

Next trip I think I'll find someone with a TJ that is willing to tow my jeep to see how the TJ does at flat towing my Jeep. Anyone with a TJ got the guts enough to try it? Probably not. :2thumup: :2thumup: I'll be waiting to hear!

Well it was a great trip, those of you who couldn't make it missed out big time. The Citrus Jeepers really took care of us this weekend, trails, events, and repairs. I wish we had a place for them to come down here and wheel but it wouldnt compare to their park. Rollbar really went out his way for us, Thanks man!

Also was alot of fun wheelin/camping with

1. the alien (jeepnaked)
2. The Surfer (Gerardo)
3. Sergio the best mechanic and cave diver i have ever seen.
4. Smokey the camp cook/maid/Towmaster/photographer/fellow hieneken lite drinker
5. Yellowsub from the 50's
6. Willy the navigator
7. And the New Diet Angler and his crabbie patties.


and the unknown campers next to us rockin the popup sunday morning!!! yea baby!!!

i dont have any pics, since Smokey handled this with his bad a### rocket launcher ( i want one)
