hey guys need a few things.

I am in the process of bringing my JK back to stock, and some how some where i lost the oem front track bar and rear lowers. I f'in hate it when stuff disappears. If anyone has these up for grabs please let me know.

I also need the following items.
Front bumper with fog cut-outs
rear bumper
rear brake light for tire carrier. i have one that has been cut for a tire carrier if you want it.
if anyone wants to trade stock headlights for a set of hella ecodes, let me know. Great lights by the way.

If anyone is in need or knows anyone, I have 33x12.50x20 Nitto Mud Grapplers with TONS of tread on them and the spare has never touched the ground.... 1K takes all 5 (They're not on wheels though since i kept my wheels and put 37's on them) Really need to get rid of the 33's before they sit and rot in my yard :(

I'm going to rausch next weekend wheeling on Saturday the 20th. Going up Friday afternoon and coming back Sunday morning

I'm leading 2 friends in stock jeeps around on green trails mostly. Any new guys or stock guys want to tag along just let me know. We will be doing greens possibly some easy blues depending on how they do.

More built guys we can run trails with optional black lines like cv or 1a or obstacles like yellow jacket or crawler ridge that are off of green trails

We really need to have a good Meet 'n' Great. I know I've talked to other people in other threads (people from the 5 boroughs/Queens mainly) and nothing ever happens.

Someone needs to say "OK, we're going to meet on [THIS] day, at [THIS] time, at [PLACE OF MEET]!". Lol...

Don't make me do it, I hate organizing things, haha. I mean if I have to take matters into my own hands I'll do it!! :beer:

How about at rausch on the 20th :thefinger: we can actually wheel!! Imagine that

I'm sure most of you would rather have it on pavement like a nice parking lot haha jk

If there is interest in a meet and greet near by post up when where. A Friday is probably best. I know we have a lot of suffolk guys I'm not against a location in between the nassau and suffolk guys but youneed to throw out ideas for the location I don't know any good spots out there. Or maybe someone want to host it? Bbq style? People need to post up that is the problem

Yea I read about that Rausch trip this morning. Funny thing, I can't again just like Tatas. I still have to do stuff to finish my corners and rockers, and I'm getting involved in more mods on the JK, too. I keep on getting further in so for now, no wheelin' trips.
 
#4,510 ·
Yea Adam we have the same problem with the JC, you gotta start calling these guys out. A little busting balls goes a long way. He'll we even got Dancin Dan out this weekend. When are you guys heading south getting into good camping weather. Put something together and hit us up well have a party for you guys. Drag Joe Pile, and the Irish kid down haven't seen you NY ers for a while.

Tony, U guna wheel that beast?
I'm so flunking busy it’s utterly disgusting...
Knoxville, San Jose, Portland, DC, Boston (work), and then the Outer Banks all in the last couple of months. I’m sure there’s another city or two in there that I missed.

Pratt Institute this weekend with son #1.
Temple University next weekend with #2, then off the Cape Cod for a week.

August and September are cooked, but I’d like to do something in October?

I'll be at Smith Point on Friday (8/19) as long as it is not raining. Most of the wheelin these days has been on the beach. Count me in for a local LI meet, only met JKStell so far from the JKO guys. Outlawed Offroad does pretty good with a monthly meet and greet, been to several of those, usually have about 20 4x4's turn out...not just Jeeps so it is a pretty good mix of folks. They keep it simple and meet in the Medford (exit 64) Lowes parking lot.

Oh and LILWB, the 1" rear Teleflex spacers I bought from you...they're on their way to their new home in San Diego, CA as we speak - lol. I love the internet! :)

I installed a MyGiG Lockpick into my heep last night with a back up camera. Now my Fiancee wont be afraid to back it out of our driveway!
We can also watch DVD's while on the long drives to go wheeling.
I dont know why I didnt do this sooner!
Now, Things to do on my vacation next week in preparation for TRAILFEST 2011.

1:Install synthetic line on my Warn 9.5ti and swap it with my M8000 currently on my JK. Put M8000 onto fiancee's LJ
2:Install longer front bump stops so my front driveshaft stops hitting my tranny
3:Install Cobra 75 CB under my dashboard
4: re-wire 3rd brake light onto spare tire mount and permanently mount back up camera
5:Finish on board air installation
6:Finish Dual Battery Installation
7: figure out why I am still getting a small evap leak and gascap code so I can finally get a state inspection
8: weld rub rail/step onto my rubicon rocker protection and re-weld my hi-lift mount so I dont have to take my spare tire off to access my jack.
9: front end alignment so I can turn off that psekey ESP BAS dash light and then fully disable the system.

So, whats the over under on me getting it all done while still enjoying the beach and mountain biking?

I give you till october to get that all done... And I'll take the over on it! LOL

I bought my ALLGIG before my jeep was delivered! I love it! It makes using Nav fully functional while driving. And, Surround sound and sub sound great when the kids are watching The Incredibles ;)

DJ,

1:Install synthetic line on my Warn 9.5ti and swap it with my M8000 currently on my JK. Put M8000 onto fiancee's LJ

1.5 hours

2:Install longer front bump stops so my front driveshaft stops hitting my tranny

1.5 hours

3:Install Cobra 75 CB under my dashboard

1.5 hours

4: re-wire 3rd brake light onto spare tire mount and permanently mount back up camera

1.5 hours

5:Finish on board air installation

Don't know how far you are, I'll opt. for 4 hours

6:Finish Dual Battery Installation

Don't know how far you are, I'll opt for 2 hours

7: figure out why I am still getting a small evap leak and gascap code so I can finally get a state inspection I

Loose hose clamp connection, had one 3 years ago when I relocated the EVAP. Tightened it down, done. Hopefully 5 minutes.

8: weld rub rail/step onto my rubicon rocker protection and re-weld my hi-lift mount so I dont have to take my spare tire off to access my jack.

If you have a welder, with prep, 2 hours.

9: front end alignment so I can turn off that psekey ESP BAS dash light and then fully disable the system.

Shouldn't need an alignment if steering wheel is centered, and toe is 0-1/16" in.

That can all be done by next Thursday, no problem. Get to ******* work!!!:thefinger:






On another note, NOVA has me trail leading blacks only Friday and Saturday. So much for stretching her legs with the new locker on Friday with some blues, straight to the lions den for me. No problem!! Trailer got a nice coat of Rustoleum gloss black, all the trailer lights have been changed over to LED (markers and tails). Just finished the cut away brake. Trailer is looking REALLY purdy!! Just need an oil change on ol' Red and she'll be good to go for Trail Fest. D44 spares in the back too, finally. Been searching for a while.

:laughing::laughing:

I have gone through the evap system over and over, cant find what it is. I am beginning to think its the stock connections between the hard lines since they are a little more stressed with the can in a different place. I might cut them out completely.

Ya the steering wheel is not centered anymore so that needs to be addressed then I want to do that procedure of turning the wheel and pressing the button to turn off the ESP for good. I fkng hate ABS!

I'll probably just stick to the necessary stuff. I will still need to rig up a way to keep the dog in the jeep and some kind of cargo basket for all our crap. Also Jenny got new rocker armor/sliders for her LJ and I'll have to paint those along with her hard top and re-paint her bumpers. We have spent most of our summer working in the yard/house so we have a lot of beach time and mountain biking to catch up on so the new outdoor shower that I plumbed up can be put to good use!

I also have to help my neighbor put new sheathing on his car port. Its currently rotting press board and it makes our back yard look even more white trash than it is. Granted the pile of jeep tires and parts doesn't help but at least I will be able to hide them behind the shed now that we put pea gravel down.
Gezzz I can go on and on!

Hows the new house cumming? :beer:

I got to install my PSC evap skid today as well as 98% of the CB radio. Just need to tune it (got the SWR earlier today) and install the CB bracket. Power and antenna cables are run as well as wiring for the remote speaker. I mounted the CB in the console and installed a West Marine water resistant speaker on the dash just to the right of the steering column.
