Does evreyone airdown? I read the TLCA reqs and it said we have to. if so, to what PSI? I dont have a CO2 tank ( another thing on the list to buy.... EXPENSIVE ) I have a 7 gal air tank. Will I be OK?

CB.... I did notice that its not a requirement, I dont have one in the truck yet. Should I get one put together before the run or should I just go with the handheld CB that I have?

AND.... Any other tips/help is truly appreicated!

Also, If possible I would like to meet up on Thrs. for Pizza and beer's so I can meet as many people as possible before the run saturday. (I still dont know about friday)

A CB is nice to have, but not neaded.

As for air last year and the year before it was required to air down to maximum of 15 psi. The O'brien store does have air although it doesn't work great, this weekend it would only go to 25psi. I will have my CO2 full by then so I should have enough to cover most of the club that comes out when I do (at least those that don't have their own). I may also bring my Costco compressor after seeing how well it did for Steve.

Stuff to know....bring sun block and TP.... Nothin' particularly special.

Lookin' forward to getting to meet you face to face on Thursday, should be a good time.

Also last year they did put out the disclaimer that a stock rig, not doing silly things, will come thru without body damage. So you will be fine as long as you don't push beyond your limits.

Word! I would TRULY APPREICATE the use of your CO2 to help me get back to highway pressure!

As for the Sunblock, I'm a Blad white kid, I dont leave home with out it! Same goes for TP, its Mountin Money on the trail! not to mention the Wif (the WIFE) is tagging along so you know I better have it or I'm in trouble!!!

I agree I cant wait to meet you and the rest of the JSC crew!

Word, I have some pretty bad ones my self, those are the only one's my cell phone would pick up.

Hey KNOLL, I dont know if you got my PM or E-mail. I basicly said If you can build a set of sliders for around A 100 bucks, I'M IN!!! Please let me know.... And on a side note, What did you do with your stock roof rack? I'm in NEED of one......

Thanks for all of your help/input!!!

While the FJ Sizzle is shorter and thus needs less steel, I'm sitting at around $175 for mine after buying the steel and bolts/nuts. (Over $60 for the nuts and bolts alone, though I did buy the metrics when I could have cheated and gotten the SAE size.) I'll also have a bunch of steel left over, no doubt.

I did go way overkill on mine (lots of 3/16ths wall steel), but you can't go that much smaller and keep the strength without more engineering (and more cutting/welding).

I'd figure on $200 for it, just to be on the safe side. That's still far cheaper than other places though. (No idea on the FJC, but I know for the 80 you're looking at $800 to a grand real easy.)

dILzNAK · 07-02-09, 12:51 PM

OK, I'm sure that you are all tired of getting on here and looking at all of my rookie post's. Sorry for that!!
However, I have another one. Camping/Potluck on Mcgrew.... When do we figure all of that out? is that going to be one of the topic's of discussion at Wild River on thrs?

Thats good to know! The 200 mark is what I'm tryN to stay away from. I can get a set of stock or aftermarket for about that... Thats Why I jumped at knoll's comment about building a set for 100 or less... Its all about the money, We all know that!

Never really discussed. There is usually plenty of food. Plan on feeding yourself like you were camping and then bring a side dish or meal or dessert to throw on the table on the potluck night. Peeps bring ham, cookies, salads, whatever you can haul in undamaged and share. It's kick back.

knoll0351 · 07-02-09, 04:02 PM

I thought I replied to your email...and pm... ooops. When I got my Plasma and Welder I told the club that I'd help out with welding things and not charge for labor. So if you wanna get together and build up something I'd be happy to weld it for you. As for engenering for the FJC it is prety cut and dry I will be building new sliders for mine soon...not sure if I'll do it befor McGrew or not, but soon. I don't like that the factory sliders don't stick out past the rocker. If I do get mine done before McGrew I'll make you a heck of a deal on my factory...slightly used

. But if you want to get together and weld up a set let me know and we can figure out some time that works for both of us. I'm going to say that if you don't want to go much thicker than factory you should be close to the 100 mark...not sure about hardware, but I'll try and price whatever the capture nuts are....

Edit:
If you have factory running boards you may want to remove them in either case...

knoll0351 · 07-02-09, 04:03 PM

Oh and I don't have even so much as one body panel that is still straight....you'll understand what I meant when you get the chance to see my rig

OK, I'm pickN up what your putN down!!! I would like to get together and make something happen! Maybe we can do a set for each of up to make it less expensive! On the other hand picking up your factory stock slider's for cheep is apealing too!!

As for those pesky step sides, I removed them quite a while ago after some Lake creek Carnage... (I went out in the MUD on some ATV trails and Ripped the right side off)

First timers are required to bring home-made icecream or ben&jerry's or hagen-daz and a dutch oven and make peach cobbler as there usually isn't enough..

Kief · 07-02-09, 07:25 PM

Dry ice keeps it really cold btw.

jmkfj60 · 07-02-09, 08:17 PM

I'm with Kief, I like Vanilla with fresh Strawberry's.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Keif - You can PM me if you dont already have my email. The sooner the better. Nick can turn some stuff around pretty quick, but dont want to dump it on him last minute.

I think he will be joining me in the 80 for the trip.

You guys are making me hungry! stop it. LOL.

Can't wait!

Kief · 07-08-09, 07:04 PM

It's usually a bit of a rush to get the grub heated up for dinner depending on how late we get in but no worries, we'll save room for all of the aforementioned goodies!
