"But seriosely why do all CJ, YJ, and TJ people wave?"

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand

It's been all snow here Ben, 2"-3" an hour. About 14" last weekend, and another 22" more by the time its all said and done tomorrow. Blizzard conditions now, I90 is closed, so is I35W from Southern Mn to Mason City.
I'll be going up snowmobiling this weekend for the last ride of the yr.

Tornado reported about a mile from my house, still havn't got home to see if I have any damage. I was about 30 miles east of town when the front came thru...pretty wild, mean dark rolling clouds, rain and hail, huge gusts of wind. 5 minutes and 10 degrees later... sun shine and calm.
And still some snow on the ground.

Soya · 03-01-2007, 04:22 PM

Yeah I can't believe I still have snow either.

Cole82 · 03-01-2007, 04:52 PM

Well we can go crawling. I went out there today plenty of places to go still. The steps are very dangerouse. The little creek isn't little any more. I'll post pics later. If yopu still want to crawl it's open to do so.

No you miss understood me why do they wave at me? I drive a wannabe Jeep. Acording to bens link, they are not allowed to wave.

Cole I like the green beast in the pic.

I even got the wave when I owned a 1988 Grand Wageneer, The beast had an AMC 360 under the hood. Got approx 6-8mpg. I would still have it if the the frame was rusting away, it had an 8" chunk missing. It had a little bit of flex to it

Mnster · 03-01-2007, 09:18 PM

Rocks look good enough for me.

Soya · 03-01-2007, 09:29 PM

Etype R · 03-01-2007, 10:39 PM

I think I score higher then most jeeps do according to that silly page....

Halfj-7 · 03-02-2007, 10:49 AM

Trying to rebuild my Super...it was the victem of a horrible accident. Moving some stuff around the basement so I could test out a few changes, 5 sheets of drywall knocked over the sawhorses and landed on the bodyless truck. Ripped the motor from the trans, bent the frame into a U-shape and tore off a shock mount...
After I threw a beer bottle against the wall, I started on a new frame. Hope to have it ready by Sunday morning.

I can't make this one, I'm having radio issues that I haven't fingered out yet.

Hopefuly I'll get the bugs out by the 17th.

If you need a spare reciever let me know, got tired of messing with the glitchy traxxas radios. Commonly, the reciever case is sharp where the wire comes out tearing the antenna. Check to make sure the radio antenna is screwed down tight to.

I'll let you know if I need the reciever or not. I do have the another Tx that I broke the steering pot on if I need parts for the Tx. I'm going to work on it to night

Welcome,
I'm assuming you meant run not fun?
I would have to say most have scalers, and comp trucks.

brushlessnut · 03-03-2007, 11:18 AM

Yeah.Sorry about the typo.Cool,My only crawling rig is a highlift right now.I'm going to building a comp rig soon.But I'm not sure what I want to use for axles.Do the 2.2 comp rigs or the super comp rigs seem to have more trucks show up?

I would have to say 2.2 is the more popular rig since it take less challanging terrain to run them on. However, most that have 2.2's also have a super class rig. But I would start out with a 2.2 forsure.

Cole82 · 03-03-2007, 11:27 AM

Most people have a couple of everything. Count on allmost 10 trucks in every class.

We also go to sailersville lake(sp) in dsmoines for crawling.
