What, no non-early bronco class???

 

[OX1]

Also, whats the menu for Fri night??

And finally, which way is the better route. Coming from central NJ

1. 95 through baltimore, 70 W to 81 south

OR

2. Pa turnpike to 81 south

Grossing over 17K, I usually like to stay out of the mnts (even highways in the mnts like 81) for as long as I can. Even driving up and down mild hills on the highway seems to suck a lot more fuel. It is 4 miles difference in milage, but supposedly 20 minutes longer going through Balt.

Non-EB class? Well we do have a class on Thursday morning. It's a support group for for jeep owners. How to deal with EB-envy . . . But I don't think a guy with a Big Bronco would need to attend . . .

 

[nyhillbilly]

visitors?

if i just want to come out for a few hours on one of the days to meet you guys what do i have to do? can i pay admission there that day or do i have to preregister? i have a funny work schedule so im not sure which day i will show up
oh yea im not bring my bronco because its in a million pieces.

 

[Roadburner]

We invite everyone to come and see what the Roundup is all about. No problem checking it out for a day or even a few hours. If you come just 1 time, you'll be making plans to attend the next year. The campground is going to charge you a $10.00 per person day fee to get in. Friday morning trail rides depart and in the evening the RTI ramp, show & shine, and swap meet. Saturday morning you can watch the rock crawl competition then hang out at the base camp or possibly catch a ride on the street cruise or a trail ride. Sat evening is the tech challenge, and the raffle where we're giving away over $20,000.00 worth of prizes!

NYHB - like Roadburner says, you are welcome to come out and hang for as long as you want. If you can get there before about 9 am on Friday or Saturday we can probably hook you up with an open seat if you would like to go on a trail ride. Just look for someone with a staff shirt or hat on. The meals will cost 10 bucks each night so be sure to get a meal ticket as soon as you show up in case we run out!

Hope to see you there.

OX, I'd look into coming down 95 to Allentown and out 78 to 81 south, that is the fastest and best route from me to you, so I assume it would work equally well in reverse...
I'm still too poor to register, but I'm hoping that changes before next week.
chris on real tires I have to see!
and WHERE IS Mr Joe?????
Bill, should I load those axles back up????

 

[ChrisinWV]

Don't you have a racer to start working on?

Must be time for another team meeting......;D
Bill as usual I'm good for those breakfast treats I've been bringing to the meetings for us......
Chris, have you been to a meeting since MX?????

Better..but I'm not sure the rear 60 is going to hang in there for the entire weekend. Something not quite right inside...after I replaced the dif yoke that Matt broke in to three pieces all the way to the inside end of the spline. I think the Detroit might be trashed...%)

Stick a welded open in it for now........ (I know you have one "somewhere"). Would not even check backlash after the swap, those gears gotta be trashed anyway, from that plug rollin round in there.......

 

[ChrisinWV]

maybe I should load up the rear 9" and chunk too...run an air line to the back Billll.......

I'd have to go north to get to 78 (up the NE extension, which is how I get to Rausch). I'm almost exactly even (north/south) with the PA turnpike. 78 is pretty far out of the way me thinks.

 

[ChrisinWV]

Yeah i guess so....would probably be a wash between 95 and pa turnpike as far as time then, I was thinking you were further north, sorry Jim...
The turnpike although I hate it, would most likely be flatter....

 

[Fordfilly]

No worries guys, we have Duct tape! Snicker Snicker

I fact..the dang gears munched on that plug something terrible and are still fine. It's somethign in the Detroit..heck I've got a 1/4-turn of yoke before a tire moves...but I can feel that the gear backlash is still fine.

She's getting an ARB and 35-spline axles next...
