Im in for the diff guard and if you want to split a room or something thats cool or get a cot and split 3 ways.
Also for those going, Ive got a 4xGuard belly guard brand new for sale.. Scottso699 I know you said you may be interested let me know..
Ok looks like as much as it will make for a VERY Long day, I will be driving up Sunday Morning... my new little (he's tiny) 3 month old Son is requiring too much team work at night between my wife and I right now for me to come up the night prior to the run. I will just leave my house at 6 am and meet at the Park or worst case out on the trails. Come hell or hi water I will be there. At this point I will do what ever I need to do to get there!
On another subject though...
What do you guys do for lunch out there on the trail? Whether this sounds corny or not the group I used to go with would bring a loaf of bread and a container of peanut butter and Jelly and eat down at the bottom of the quarry. Do you guys just bring sandwiches or do you starve and eat after?
We normally bring food/sandwiches and stop on the trails for lunch.
Should I bring the grill again? :)
Do we have a date yet?
I can Bring food too. (I don't drink but boy do I eat!)
I'll bring the grill and a small cooler of condiments and such..
Sounds good!
I'll see if chuck can bring his grill too.... get two going. :)
Hey Jacob, since Ill be getting that CB ant mount from you whats a good cb cable I should buy and install with it? Also I know you said you were having some issues with the ground I think? You ever figure out how to fix it.
I'll bring what I have from the CB setup, I'm not sure if it was a crappy radio, or the antenna cable (which has a pretty good bend in it so maybe it's damaged inside?) and the cheap antenna.. and then wish you luck :)
hahaha well Ill have a new antenna from my Dad so Ill grab a new cable anyway they arent expenisve..

Quick update.... any changes?
Yea as of now I'm still in, however I have a strange noise when braking. It's almost like the sound ABS makes or metal on metal. Sounds like the rear but It's not the brakes, they are near new. I'm hoping It's nothing to do with the diffs it only happens under normal braking under 10-15 MPH. Any thoughts on what this could be?

Rust on the brakes from all the recent moisture/salt? Could also be a suspension creak or bushing noise.... spray some silicone lube on the sway bar bushings, control arms, strut piston..
Yea my dad said the same thing on the inside of the rotor may have rust and the pad rubs it when breaking.. Ill spray those things down and see what happens, could water in the diff make that noise or similar issues?
Doubtful..... its easy to change the fluid though if you've been through deep water recently and wanted to be safe.
I havent changed the fluid since I got it 10k miles ago.. Im getting the rear diff guard off Jacob at RC, do you have to change fluid when you install it or no?
I was able to install and uninstall the guard without breaking the seal on the diff cover.
Ok cool, should be fun installing that on the cold ground! Hopefully its dry for that time at least
If you have a small tarp bring it to lay down on to install skids, I'm going to try to find one but having just moved I can't find anything..
Great idea, luckily I only have to install the guard and cb mount, everything else will be done.
Matt which hotel are you guys staying at?
Who needs to room mate? (Andrew anyone else?)
Yea I could certainly use the savings on cost if you want to split up a room.. We have a time frame Saturday everyone wants to meet?
I'm game for a floor spot even, I have camping gear that is more comfy than most hotel beds :p and after a few beers I REALLY won't care
hahaha Ill text Adam and see what his plan is, havent heard from him lately..
Im going to reserve a room today.. Matt what time are you getting in?
I'll probably get there around 7-8pm
I'm waiting to hear from a new job on Monday to see if ill be able to make this trip. NY state is broke so there is no more money for Active Duty through the national guard like I have been doing the past three years. If I dont get the job unfortunately I won't be able to make this trip because I have to budget my money till I get new job. I'm currently on leave right now and will only receive one last pay check through the Army on the 15th.
I hope everything works out man. Consider riding along?
Ill have to install the diff guard and cb mount at some point before we wheel, guess early morning since everyone is getting in later Saturday night
You know me. If my jeep goes to RC ill wanna wheel it.
HAHA point. What time you getting there?!!?
