Anyone got plans to bring in the new year right and go wheeling New Year's Day?? I'm off on a holiday and dying to get in the woods, would love to wheel with some of y'all and get to meet y'all!
-
I could be convinced to go out. Where are you thinking?
-
I'm game for just about anything. Just need to make sure I can get my rig out of the woods drivable lol
I'm not sure what would and wouldn't be open after the first of the year and if there were hopefully several guys going, we could work out whatever's best.
-
Bump...but it appears there is no traction.
-
I need to do motor mounts, so im out. I dont know what would be open in the middle of the week...
You could go do the West Ga mud park and ride, they're having an event. I can get you in for free.
-
I would like to do some riding. I'll be out in mine tomorrow doing a little wheeling
-
I'm booked tomorrow, but I can do Wednesday.
-
I've got to do my Forest Service checks tomorrow but Wed is good for me unless something comes up
-
Worst case I might just have to see what I can get into up in Chatsworth or Blueridge.
-
Anymore interest in a ride on New Years day?
-
I would like to buy I have two items remaining on my requirements list. Fire ext and wire up my cb.

I am interested in getting out. Where n when do we meet.
-
I can't tell what is happening on my end. Is anyone leading this thing? If so, where and when?
-
Buckwild kicked this thing off so I'm just waiting to see //::)//
-
I'd be interested in riding on Wednesday for a bit if you'll are going to be up here in North Georgia area.
-
I dont know the area so I need to follow.
-
well..i know some of the forest rds up here..I'd be willing to lead.. We can meet at the walmart parking lot in Dahlonega at 9 am if that's not too early. probably will do a 3 to 4 hr ride. please confirm if your coming..thanks
-
I will be there at 9 or a little earlier
-
Ok, I never heard word back on my other option, so I'll be there around 845.
-
For any guests who may be interested in attending, this is not not an official gatrl ride...so you do not need to meet all the safety requirements..this is just an informal forest rd ride, no special gear needed. Will probably be a 3 to 4 hr ride.
-
Mike we'll be there about 8:45 or so
-
great bear!
-
What's the route Mike or we just going to figure it out as we go? Makes no difference to me just wanna ride a while //SLAMIN//
-
I don't know that area, but I'd like to avoid the KVOM path since I've done it twice this year and the last time was less than two months ago. We went past the hatchery on Kirk's path.
-
I'm with Clark on that
-
how about going up near vogel park?..there's a forest rd or two up there.
-
That's fine with me,never been up there
-
To make sure everyone arrives at the correct location:
270 Wal-Mart Way · Dahlonega, GA 30533-0816
-
I'm going to do my best to be there by 9, I've got about 80 miles to get out there, hope it won't be too bad
-

Ya. Good times, but to bad some of you couldn't make it. Some carnage too! Pictures coming soon.

Let's hear it Clark ????

Well, the JK (name withheld on purpose) on the trip had the transfer case shifter cable come off. Carnage was probably used to attract attention...not an actual indication of the issue.
However, since the next few rides are likely to be less intensive than the trips later in the year, I swapped out the 35" krawlers for the 33" KM2s which allowed me to notice that one of my shocks has encountered an explosion with oils all over the shaft and housing. I'm not sure if it happened on the ride today (unlikely) or some previous adventure. It would be a shame to state that a Rugged Ridge shock, supplied as part of their lift kit, couldn't handle a forest service trip...so I'll go with the idea it happened on another trip. :)
-
Not too bad then.....sorry the (undisclosed) JK owner had trouble..........
-
Seems like the transfer case linkage for th jk has some issues.

Supposedly it is not an uncommon issue.
If it was common, I'd proactively find and implement a solution...if I owned a jk.

Thanks for coming out everyone. We had a great ride today.
The shift cable for the 4x4 on one of the Jk's popped off. A small C Clip that holds the end of the cable on to the 4x4 shift lever. I think it came off when he was stopped and shifting out of 4 wheel to 2 wheel. Not really much of a problem getting shifted back in to 2 wheel by hand from under the Jeep. It would be a hard fix on the trail. It's in a tight spot and the exhaust runs where you have to get one of your hands. Made me think about looking at mine and seeing if there's a mod for it. I could see if he was off camber or even in a good twist But this was on flat road and stopped.
Well thanks again and see Uall soon! //SLAMIN//
-
Thanks, Mike, for leading us!
-
Happened to me on Moab. //:o// They get brittle and crack. The new ones are softer and shouldn't break.
18 cent plastic part. Mine was at the shifter. Need to do the one under the Jeep.

The factory set up on XJ's is this backwards boo witchery stuff, so when I converted to 4wd I made my own linkage.
