I postponed my camping trip to the following weekend, so I am free to go on Sat. Anyone interested????? I will hopefully be winch-enabled by then. Maybe cook up some hotdogs.

I might be interested in this. lets see who goes. as said in your text, we would need to do the washer bypass for sure. but then take it out once finished for the say. last thing I need is that things wobbling as I am flat towing it.

all I need to do to be ready is fill my t case back up and check fluids.. again, lets see who will go besides us.

Can't make it guys even though I made noises about it in another post. We really need to get some stuff done here instead. If you get stuck though, give us a call!

guess Sergio cant go on saturday.. I can only go then. lets wait and see what happens in the next couple of days.

I sent GreenTJ a text, he should hopefully chime in at some point. its kinda local to him.. 30 minutes.

Come on guys... All the when no one is invited, now it's only Brian & I??? Sergio - I might go back Sunday if you & Nichole can make it. Brian - as long as I got my winch on I don't care if just you & I go. No winch, no go....dont want another 4 hr stuck ordeal again.

I know some cant make it due to the walk with the pets, but anyone who'd like to go feel free to pm me. Lee did well w/ his 29" tires until he got buried in one spot, so you don't have to have very large tires to run around there & have fun.

if i get back my ds today i should able to make it I'm on 35" and got 2 winches

yeah, I have no problem going with just us 2 jeeps man.. what about some ATV's? you mentioned something to me.. who has them?

we cant forget the camera's this time though!

Jack, this is why I wanted you to mention no XJ's.. haha

i'd be happy to see you there man. squares so far I see.

Been wanting to see 8 ST for a long time now, but, out-of-town this weekend - to Clewiston. Will look for the next time around - and then hopefully the Jeffersons can make it too. May have my jeep by then, and LadyJ if you want to, you can ride with this WINCH! My jeep will be branded

Yeah Brian, there will be 3 atvs going also

just text'd CaptainCody, posted on a few other forums and hoping for the best. at a worse case, I would be down there early and be just us 2 and the ATV's. I have to and WILL be home by 5-6 this time. if not, you figure out the issue and im driving my Laredo back. haha

obviously the day go a bit screwed up. but I was on google maps and see that this place is kinda big. there is a huge area off to the north;north west. the south west spot we went to where that hill was, I think that was pretty much a dead end if you catch my drift. looked a bit sketchy. I think we need to head west and then north on those trials and see where it takes us.

I am thinking of taking off my track bars this time too.. if I have the time. yours rode SO MUCH SMOOTHER on that entrance/exit than mine. and if I am not driving it on the highway coming down, it wont matter either way. only a smoother ride for me when I am out there.

so you got the goods coming today huh?

I'd ride strap b**** with you anytime girl! I'll look forward to it.

Have a great weekend and that's quite the impressive ride you are doing! You go girl.

Funny but putting on a winch was the very first mod I did on my TJ.

this was the first time I went out without somebody having one. but between my front not locking and Jack's reverse not staying we were stuck on a blade of grass. hah

offroadpete wants to ride with me. told him to meet us at the gate.

Nah I am sure it was because the 2 of you were

easy there. ill drop bombs on your little secret.

ack!! losing my co-pilot to a wenc...errr...winch!!

-dave

sounds like a personal problem to me Dave.

Yeah Brian, there is much more ground to cover if we go North from just before that hill. Well all over it w/ Sergio & Nichole last Sunday. Got winch & winch plate, but had to take plate back to work to drill out the mounting holes a little. Will be done tomorrow. Really though, the oly thing we need a winch for is pulling out any TJs that may wander into S.H.I.Team's stomping ground!!

Yup, am happy the way it rides w/o the track bars. The entrance/exit was torture w/ em on.
Hope to wheel w/ you soon Gutsy...actually I wanna get some pics of Holly as a strap _____.

I've never been to 8 st. What times are talking about? I have my kids this weekend, how rough is it?

Good luck on the plate. I'm sure it isn't a big deal. And your right, we need to go north a little and see what's out there.

As for the conditions, they are very managable. No waterthat we saw what so ever. Minus the ditch I found and wanted to see what it led to. Hah. But if your wanting to go with us, bring your kids. It's cool.

I will be there around 9ish. I'm sure we can go back up front to meet you if your going to be later.

i'm in. anyone wanna post or PM me the info? time & location, etc. i've not been to 8th street yet, only south of Bird road.

Well I hope your jeep makes it further than your did... hahaha =)))




Look who had to help you get pulled out.. lmao!!


Alright Alright.. Guess I didnt make it too far either.. lmao!!!



I would love to come test out the new tires on the jeep but hmm.. Ill be doing the walk for the animals then heading to Rib Round up in palm beach for the rest of the day.. Booooo And then the following weekend we've got the parade and then the following weekend ill be in GA.. So hmm.. RAIN CHECK FOR sometime around the 28?!??!! Ill be on the ATV though I have a group that wants to come!!

where will you be coming from? taking the turnpike or 95?

I will be on 95 south, going west on the Dolphin Express out turnpike north and to the 137 south. if you want to meet me on the way, like on the side of 95 or something past an exit let me know.

So it's like that now Nichole!!!! You just had to post THOSE pics. The only reason my got stuck is cause it doesn't have the square lights.

LrdJeffson likes this!!

PS - Jack...you might want to reconsider this ride...don't you have an axle build project starting this weekend?

uh oh. did he forget about something? he was supposed to go camping before and now he wants to ride.

in all seriousness, I would like to go but wouldnt mind staying back and wrenching a little. but then again, there is nothing to work on besides washing both jeeps and securing my new gauges somewhere

I'll tell ya about it later Brian. I still gotta finish winch & I got TJ flares waiting to be installed. However I can't turn down a chance to get dirty & test wench or..er..winch. Dave , let me know about the arrangements to secure the "merchandise". I can cancel the return ride on Sunday & get started early then. Besides, Brian will get if he comes home late. So maybe can start Sat afternoon.

she was actually pretty cool about it when I got home that night.. but when I told her I was going back out, she looked at me, raised a brow and said O.K… dont be late.. walking away. hahaha.. I really wish she could go. she loves it but with being prego, its going to be a while til you will see her on the trails.

well... as spoken with Brian i cant go this weekend, its pretty much the only FULL day that i have with the wifey (prego as well), id really like to hit this spot, let me know when yall set something for a next date (saturday) have fun!!

bro, why dont you just go for a few hours? I am going to be there around 930 ish and leave around 4. takes me less than an hour to get there. your closer to home. this way you can spend time with her AND go out. lazy…

i'm actually about 15 minutes south of 8th street (on 127 avenue) so i won't be using any highways to get there, just surface streets. where's everyone gonna meet up? is the place on 137 avenue on the north side of 8th street?

its right at the intersection of 137 and 8th. my guess it that we should meet there at the entrance or maybe at the gas station on the corner right there.

I will leave by 830, say an hour to get there.. so 930(ish) seems like a good time to meet. if you arent there or running late, we can always just want a few for ya.

we will have to do a quick little bit of wrenching when I get there to add some washers to my posi lock to be sure it stays engaged. that wont take more than 20 minutes though.

Just a thought...but you should consider hanging out with a guy who actually takes his jeep out and goes offroad with it. again...just a thought.

-dave

Just wait one minute ------- hmmmm

too much talking about wheeling when you both have the perfect opportunity to take this to the trails!!!

Tell em again Brian!!! It's easy to talk smack when you can't get perm to go...

Your timeing is off on this 8st ride - already commited to out-of-town trip as posted before. 8st will go on my calendar, just post the next trip well in advance - I do have a jeep with many projects taking up alot of my time and I do have a busy calendar thanks to my awesome BF, who can outwheel anyone! ... hey I should have said that before V-day hehe

-dave

Ok we need to know who is going for sure. Nobody has confirmed besides Jack and myself. Please let us know so that we can wait for you

Just passed u guys on the t-pike on our way to homestead for the rolex race. Have fun but don't call for help if yer stuck - don't think
my friend's M3 would be very good in the muck. (:

So I guess you were the guys that Sergio asked me if I was able to get you out, but I'm very sorry to say I was on my way to west plam that afternoon. well next time.
