Simple here,
Who is in, who is out, who is heading out when?

Me I will be heading out thursday am, I will have my son with me and plan to stay till Sunday.

I need jim to respond to email and set me up with a rebuild kit for a 78 2f carb that has been desmogged. Other than that I am ready to go.

I'm in.

Check yer spam folder. An email was replied to from my fj40jim@aol address.

zebrabeefj40 · 06-08-08, 06:21 PM

At this point I'm out. I don't have $600 to drop on fuel plus another couple hundy more for the rest so I can wheel for 3 days.

I plan to make the TTORA ride at Harlen in August. Probably a couple other local rides at Badlands and Interlake.

Nick

PHAEDRUS · 06-09-08, 07:08 AM

Hotmail sucks,
Tried one on the crackberry, Maybe I can get it there,
I understand on the fuel Nick, But for me it is the closest decent sized rally.
Dave

BUCKEYE4X4 · 06-09-08, 07:42 PM

I may leave early Thursday and try to wheel the afternoon. Otherwise, I am wheeling Friday and Sat, leave Sun morning. I am probably bringing my son on this trip.

$600 on gas is alot, I figured about $300 max for me. I have been saving my fuel perks so I am going in with jerry cans before the trip, should save me about $100.

zebrabeefj40 · 06-10-08, 01:50 PM

Remember, I'm starting at least 3 hours further west than most of you. 1200 miles at 10 mpg = 120 gallons of diesel x $5/gal = $600 plus the $140 entry fee, camping, food and gas for the crawler; easily over $850 for the weekend. Maybe I'd get better milage but I doubt fuel is gonna get any cheaper. In then end it's a pile of cash to throw down to play for a few days. I figure I can hit 2-3 local events for the cost of this one trip.

Nick

FJ40Jim · 06-10-08, 09:32 PM

10MPG? You oughta just drive a FJ60/62 and get 15MPG.

Or else put a towbar to the front bumper of the FJ40 and fergit that gianormous trailer. My old 7.3IDI would get 14-15 flat-towing an FJ40.

MJM · 06-17-08, 06:23 AM

I will be heading out on Thursday AM. Are you guys trying to wheel on Thursday if so we could attempt to plan an afternoon meeting time. If I do not wheel on Thurs. I will just plan on Fri and Sat and go home on Sunday. Dave let me know what time you think you are haeding out. I have not set time as of yet.
I will be taking the Blu Ox 60 once I get the new clutch in this week ohh and a few other mods that need to be completed.

We will be heading to Echo.

MJM

BUCKEYE4X4 · 06-17-08, 07:33 AM

How do you NE Ohio folks get there?...accross 80 and then down or down and then across the turnpike?

MJM · 06-17-08, 08:38 AM

Last year I went 80 and then some more 80 then down.

PHAEDRUS · 06-17-08, 09:09 AM

Mapquest thinks 76 is faster,
I took 80 across then tried the confusing backroads way on the way there, on the way home I took the interstate to 80 and back, Not any faster that way just less confusing.
I think I will be heading out thursday am, Hopefully by 8 or 9, Kind of depends on how long it takes to load up the truck and get on the road, It will also matter on whether or not Aiden comes with. we will see on that one.
Do you need a hand with the clutch Matt? give me a call if you do, Aside from trying to go fishing I do not have a lot going on till sunday.

No help needed with the clutch. I had a major leak start between the trans and tansfer that means they will need to come out. The rear main was also soaking the clutch so a new one will go in while it is apart. I can only dream of a cruiser with no leaks or least one with a small leak. The only real PITA will be getting the skid plate back on the PO messed up all of the frame nuts by using lag bolts in the holes. I will need to drill and tape those.

I will check out the maps and see what is best way I agree the backs roads were a little slow in the loaded 60 with hills, can you say slow truck lane. Keep me posted as to your departure time.

MJM · 06-24-08, 07:08 AM

Clutch done, new rear main seal done, new seals between trans/transfer done. The problem was there are two dowel pins between the tranny/tranfer and I only had one. The transfer shifted and sucked the gasket in so the oil leaked out and fast. New seals on the all around both units the old ones were like glass instead of rubber I guess that should be the 25 year PM. Also replaced the side cover gasket on the old 2f along with complete rebuild of rear brakes. Next up is the locker.

PHAEDRUS · 06-25-08, 04:16 PM

It's easy,
grab a wire coat hanger from the dry cleaning before you start. You will use it to install the c clip right before you button it all up. My sister is in town starting tomorrow but give me a call on my cell if you get hung up.
Dave

PHAEDRUS · 07-02-08, 01:38 PM

Did you get the lockrite in?

Aiden is coming with for sure, No dogs just the kid. I should be pulling out around 9 am on thursday, Probably will not wheel thursday night, just try and relax. hopefully it is not raining all the way there like last year. wich reminds me, I need to get Aiden a new rain suit.....
Dave

BUCKEYE4X4 · 07-02-08, 04:14 PM

How does that Echo Valley camping work, do you need to make reservations for primitive spot, or do that when you show up.

I have not had time to fix my junk yet...but I am still scheduled to go

Karl

PHAEDRUS · 07-03-08, 06:38 AM

If you are tent camping you just show up. No reservation needed. I recommend either heading out thursday am or letting Matt or I try to save you a spot.
Dave

BUCKEYE4X4 · 07-05-08, 02:39 PM

Thanks

I will let you know, I am trying leave Thursday am.

How old is Aiden? I am trying to bring activities for Cole (7 years young).
It might work out good if we camp next to each other so the young dudes
can hang out. I have a 10 X 10 canopy, etc.

So lets say the first one gets (2) sites. Anybody else interested in this chime in.

I see there is a pool, I am bring swim gear.

Give me call when you get a chance
614-554-9371

Later

Karl

PHAEDRUS · 07-06-08, 07:37 AM

Don't remember a pool,
Aiden is 9 now. If there are trees and sticks and somewhere to explore he will be in heaven.
I will call you tomorrow.
Dave

MJM · 07-07-08, 06:49 AM

They did have a pool near the main check-in area. I will be heading out around 8:30-9am on Thursday depending on my when my buddy is ready.
Truck is 99% complete no lock-rite but I do have an ARB in the rear. I was thinking about bring some extra parts to sell (Lock-Rite, high lift mount, Jerry Can holder ect. )
Saw you on Friday Dave I was in the 100 306/east Wash.

MJM · 07-07-08, 06:51 AM

Dave you had a great spot last year my area was a littel crowded Just Look for the Blue Ox

FJ40Jim · 07-07-08, 07:43 AM

Due to overscheduling on the workload, I can't make this event.

Maybe something in a month or two.

PHAEDRUS · 07-07-08, 12:42 PM

I am going to try and grab the same area again this year, there were sites on either side of mine that would work, and a little fire pit there to use if it is wanted.
So did you install the arb or did you have someone do it for you? and is your buddy the same guy from last year ? (Jeff IIRC)

Sorry to hear you are not going to make it Jim, I thought last year was worthwhile for you, Get caught up and come anyways!

So Karl and Matt and I are in, Jeff are you coming?? anyone else??

Dave

BUCKEYE4X4 · 07-07-08, 08:21 PM

I am struggling at work and might have to leave later than expected.

Save me a site and you will be rewarded with

PHAEDRUS · 07-08-08, 10:05 AM

No problem, I will give you a call once we set up and let you know where to find us.
Dave

BUCKEYE4X4 · 07-08-08, 08:35 PM

Jim,

You can hitch a ride with me if you would like to converse with a inquisitive 7 year old for 6 hours.

MJM · 07-09-08, 07:54 AM

So it looks like just three trucks from the Ohio crew will be going.
Have a safe long drive!

PHAEDRUS · 07-09-08, 08:06 AM

I See your 7 year old and raise you a 9 year old in a bikini top 40.

See you there.
