John (Hubjeep) is cool. When I wheeled with him at the Jamboree in the Poconos, he had his first motor, which was a diesel from a Isuzu. The Cummins is a huge improvement. it runs low 19's now :bounce: (search him on youtube).
oh, and as I understand it, it's a full CJ7 `Glass body on a TJ frame, not just the nose.
Dimitri, as for my gearing, you're nuts!
Actually, I was telling people that day how I was amazed at how much the jeep crawled at idle. I barely used the gas pedal all day. And MY MPG WENT UP!!! I got 17 MPG average there and back - not counting the wheeling at 2MPG of course.

Haven't been on Sore Thumb yet but it was open. Democrat Point was fine, the bar was open and was able to drive all the way to the middle of the inlet.

Took the Jeep to the dealer today for the recall on the transmission fluid overheating. Hope I don't get "flagged" as a modded Jeep.

Adam's MA wheeling trip
Howdy folks. As you know, I'm planning a small off road trip to MA this Spring. I have to change the date to June 17-19, which is Fathers day weekend. What better way to celebrate masculinity and testosterone than playing in the dirt.
I will be heading up friday afternoon to wheel saturday, and likely come home Sunday. We'll be in the charlemont/n adams/savoy area along Route 2. You can camp or stay at a hotel. I'll give more details to anyone interested.
This is intended to be a modest sized group of experienced wheelers with capable rigs. We won't be doing insane stuff, be we will be taking whatever trail feels good at that moment. My friend from CT knows the area well. We have wheeled together a lot. He's good, but "only" driving a non lifted Rubi. We've done Old Florida Road before, but he doesn't want to do it this trip. Use that as your gauge. Feel free to watch the vids on my youtube page.
Rsvp interest here and them pm me your email address.

Sup fellas, long time no talk. I moved down here to Puerto Rico. I should be gettin my jeep sometime soon. Its on a barge right now coming down. There is a rain forrest and some serious mountains with "roads" aka trails. Going to be fun.
On a more mechanical note, has anyone had E-brake issues with it not holding? I just had the boots adjusted and the handle was tight. But after a week of pulling the handle, it got looser and looser. Watcha think?

Old Florida Rd. is definitely not intended for "highly modified" rigs. There's only 2 spots on OFR that need to get bumped or winched, the rest of the trail is a very nice easy day of crawling. We've had guys on 33s unlocked make the entire trail without an issue every year.
Hey Adam shoot me some info on this, thanks!

So I see the interest in having a LI meet-up and Rausch Creek run has faded.
What is everyone doing this weekend? There are a couple of Car Shows going on this Saturday and Sunday that members of the LIOR Club have been pushing. Or do people prefer to meet up at a free/impromptu location?
Whatever the location it would be cool to actually meet some of you that I have probably waved to. I think I have seen Greenmeanie quite a few times on the Meadowbrook headed north while I have been headed south on my way home from work at @ 4:30.

I am in the Coast Guard and they sent me down here. Damn, it kind of pisses me off, being that my jeep is a manual I use the e-brake everytime i park. Whatevs...
I like the new bumper waaay better than that stinger...looks good, though i dont see a winch, is it tucked in there behind the license plate?
very cool man
just park it in gear, but dont forget. I think there may be a write up on how to adjust the e brake I will see if I can find it, idk if it really works though.
No winch in the new bumper yet.
