FMR offroad day?

[UltimateT]

we have a good amount of 4x4 vehicles on here now, so i was thinking we should have a offroad day to meet up and play in the mud!!!

any takers?
dates?
places to go?

whos in???????????????

[STiDriven]

I'm taking the montaro out tomorrow (Sunday)

I'll probably pick up ben at sometime around 12 in the afternoon (maybe a bit later) and hit up that construction spot off 3 oaks for a bit. After that, IDK.

[UltimateT]

im down

[STiDriven]

Sweet. The construction sites around there should keep us entertained for a couple hours. Afterwards we'll find some other area to play on.

Bring a video camera if possible.

[aero]

Woot woot.

Did a rear diff. breather extension yesterday just to be safe :)

[STiDriven]

Sweet. It's gonna be fun. Cameras and tow straps are a must. Bring them if you have them.

[Jeepin']

I'm game. Got straps, tools, 10,000 lbs winch, fire extingusher, first aid kit, K-BAR. I'm ready for war.

We meeting up first somewhere? Set a place and time to meet. Give it about 20 minute lee-way for the straglers..

[95w_bTEG]

[UltimateT]

we will have no problem if someone gets stuck.......between my and jeepin in a 97xj's equipment we got recovery taken care of

[Jeepin']

IIght so someone name a rondayvue point & time.

[Jeepin']

7-11 at Corkscrew & 3 Oaks. I'm getting out of bed around 9, if nobodies posted a time by then, then I can't go.

[aero]

I'll be unavailable until maybe 1 or 2... so i'll probably just check the thread and do some calling to see whats up.

[+Juan]

I woulda seen this earlier i probably would have gone.......

[Jeepin']

I was just sayin' I'm rolling outta bed around 9. When we actually go is up to yall. Truth be told later in the day would work for me better as well. 2pm ish.

[STiDriven]

2pm

[UltimateT]

[STiDriven]

Shit was so legit today. We hit up spots spots off 3 oaks, went to lehigh and ended the day at cook and brown. Pics will come soon.

[+Juan]

were you off of 82???


i woulda gone out if you were in my area.lol.

instead i was @ home washing/waxing/vaccuming the jeep...

[STiDriven]

Fail. I thought you weren't coming. Yeah, were off 82 but didn't stay too long.

[aero]

Piiiiiiics!

[STiDriven]

Piiiiiiics!

[+Juan]

[aero]

Was it the one in the mudhole? I think greg got one while we were in there.

[STiDriven]

Yeah, greg got a few of your rig.

[aero]

Yeah, greg got a few of your rig.

Gotta get Dave to hack into his computer and get them all!!!

Pics don't do it justice. It was pretty deep in the mud at some point. I can't believe how well the 4runner did. If your keeping it I would buy another stock set of rims and put some good tires on them and switch them out for offroading days. It would be unstoppable.

[+Juan]

where are the pics at?

edit:nvm

[STiDriven]

edit:nvm
probably should have put in the gallery first like I normally do.

Yeah, very true. Not sure though. Need the miata gone, then I can decide if I need to find a 4x4 Cherokee...

[vr_unreality]

Dammit, I had family in town and couldn't make it. Oh well, I'm sure there will be other days. Who's down for an offroad day pt2? I know some other people didn't get to make it out either. WE should plan it a week or so in advance so everyone knows and is prepared.

[STiDriven]

We'll have another one in coming weeks I'm sure.

[vr_unreality]

We'll have another one in coming weeks I'm sure.

:SolidStraight:

[Jeepin']

I was willing to go out today.. but nobody would throw down a definte time to meet up, so without any solid answer I got nagged by the old lady into going to the beach all damn day.

Good to hear you guys actually tore it up. I'm down for the next outting, just get something together again with alittle more notice so I can plan for it.

Now lets see some pictures...

[95w_bTEG]

next one im in!

[+Juan]

next one im in!
kinda sorta maybe me too

[Jeepin']

Alright, someone setup a TIME and PLACE before the weekend to avoid all the confusion for us working people..

[+Juan]

well the jeep is dead right now..so its out of commision till i fix it.

[vr_unreality]

I have to replace my passenger wheel bearings. I should have them done by this weekend. The squeeling is annoying as hell. I'm buying all the parts tomorrow.

[Jeepin']

well the jeep is dead right now..so its out of commision till i fix it.

Define "dead"

[aero]

Picked me up a deckplate for my intake (so I can uncap the hole for the street, and cover it up when deep water crossings might be on the way. Couldnt beleive that a stupid piece of plastic could be almost 20 bucks, but I guess cheaper than a hydrolocked engine.

Gotta figure out why I have a 'thump' now. It sounds like a sway bar endlink, but not too sure.

Anyone know of any good stuff to use to keep the mud spray from ending up all over the engine bay? Not looking forward to when I actually need to clean the truck!

[aero]

Define "dead"

see his other post somewhere... seems to be just a battery.

[+Juan]

yeah it wasnt dead , it was ...well , unconscious... batt. is charging now and hopefully is fine...

[Jeepin']

1- Good save Aero

2 - Juan - good to hear it was only an "unconcious" battery. I'm gonna start using that term at my shop

3 - Cleaning a truck? Whats that?

In all actualality, I wash down my truck every week, full detail every month and clay bar every 4 months. I use my preasure washer to get all the muck out of the bay, then go through with a cloth and get all the crevises, then shoot a blanket of Armourall Tire clean on it. Looks brand new everytime. *NOTE* I sealed both my fuse box and airintake. So don't go blasting away untill you've taken the proper steps.

[STiDriven]

My montero shut off a few times after deep water crossings. Then when I started it, the car didn't want to rev and stumbled for a few minutes. Still don't know why.

[AminalPlanet]

lol you guys really suck without my organizational skills.

[+Juan]

atleast they go through the mud...:eek:]


lmao jk

[AminalPlanet]

oh i'm sorry. did i not see your jeep out at cook and brown with us? or survive your own home territory mudhole? stay out of the 4x4 shit talking juan lol

[+Juan]

relax i was joking.

but if you REALLY wanna get serious. ill take you on on that challenge.and ill outmud you.

but wait , you might get your transfercase wet ,GOD FORBID you have to change your fluids.

you know exactly why i didnt take it out to cook & brown & you understood my situation.even though the whole time i was there i was kicking myself for not taking the jeep


and the ONLY reason it fucked up was because the connector was old and shitty and vibration made it finally come loose.

i just put like 5 zipties holding that bitch on there.. lol. that bitch aint goin NOWHERE

Get that battery wire terminal fixed man, and I am sure you will be fine.

So when do we think this'll happen again? Im debating putting my stock rear sway bar back on. The one on there now is for the street and makes it handle quite a bit better. Im just not sure if I'll want to live with all that extra sway on a daily basis.

[aero]

lol you guys really suck without my organizational skills.

:rolleyes2:

[Jeepin']

Sunday??

[UltimateT]

sunday sounds good to me

[STiDriven]

I'd be down for sunday.

[AminalPlanet]

i won't be able to make it. i gotta start packing for my move back to bama.

[STiDriven]

unacceptable :mad:

[UltimateT]

i won't be able to make it. i gotta start packing for my move back to bama.

sounds like a pity excuse for a vehicle who cant hang with the big dogs lol

[vr_unreality]

What time would we meet up. I just got my wheel bearings fixed so I'm good to go.

[STiDriven]

2pm worked out well last time. We had plenty of time to wheel from Estero to Leigh, to N Ft Myers and get our rigs washed before sundown.

[vr_unreality]

In that case I will probably join.

[STiDriven]

awesome!

[AminalPlanet]

yeah, its an excuse, but a valid one lol. i will wheel when i get to alabama, but i don't wanna take the chance of fucking anything up 2 days before a 560mile drive.

who knows i may end up joining you guys for one area.

did you guys like the afternoon's better than mornings?

[95w_bTEG]

can't make it neither. Besides not having the front driveshaft in place, I iz getting married saturday.

[STiDriven]

Both good and bad news. Congrats.


Yeah, I like afternoons. A little rain makes it more interesting : )

[AminalPlanet]

i'm a fan of mornings, cooler temps for the most part. but the bigger reason is that if shit hits the fan, we can work in the day light and not past sundown lol.

psssshhht, getting married, now thats a pity excuse lol

[95w_bTEG]

^i know right! LOL!

[aero]

Well... got the intake all patched up. Shoulda done it to begin with.

Still have a slight squeak over bumps, probably mud got into places it shouldnt be :) But depending on what time and where, I may be up for some Sunday fun. Got some unfinished projects at home that I need to work on.... some landscaping and getting rid of an inground hot tub.

[STiDriven]

Freakin homeowner. :rolleyes2::tongue:
