We've been talking about going up on March 11th, so I figured I'd make the formal post and see who's in...

Damnit I wanna go wheeling!!! Unfortunately that weekend is the grand opening for my new store and my ZJ is still in POS mode. Once I get the new steering box in and T&T Customs gets their Y-Link setup on my ZJ, it's on like Donkey Kong!

We've got a group of 3 possibly 5 XJ's heading up on the 11th. The wife and I are testing out the new camper (bought for EJS) so we'll be crashing at Chalk Creek and meeting the rest of the group at the trailhead. Planning on heading up early to avoid any crowds. It sounds like there's another larger group heading up also.

Did you say Y link? Does that mean you're the guinea pig for a new TnT kit?
Congrats!

I am in too. I need to fix my mirror first. The duck tape looks a little too redneck for my tastes.

Didn't you say yesterday that you were cruising the net at work because there was no work? So they're building a new store 'cause you need a new location to cruise the net?

I'm in for Chinamen's - assuming my new steering gearbox fixes my steering problems.

This location shouldn't allow me too much time to cruise the net! The forecasted numbers put the store over $3,000,000 in sales for the rest of this year, LOTS of money for me, but not so much free time at work anymore. Which I'll happily take the money!

And to the other poster, yes I am going to be the guinea pig for T&T and their ZJ Y-Link setup. I'll have more details after EJS.

Well looks like I will need to back out on the 11th. My daughters Cheerleading team qualified to be in the St Patricks Day parade on Saturday. We may go somewhere on Sunday if anyone is interested. Probably Slaughterhouse unless a group wants to go to Chinamans.

The kids had a good weekend my boys both won 3rd place trophies in a Karate Tournament as well.

I'm not opposed to just running it on the 12th instead so you can come, Keith. It was your idea to go... Everyone else ok with this?

JohnBoulderCO

Little League try outs on the 12th. Oh well, these kids are always in the way.;) No worries for me either way. The majority should pick a day and go, Keith and I will do what we need to do.

Keith have the wife take your girl to her thing and take the boys wheeling. Just a suggestion. :)

Thanks guys - You should all run Chinamans on Saturday. This is a big deal for my Daughter. We will likely run Slaughterhouse on Sunday. I do want to run chinamans in the near future but it can wait a few weeks.

Sweet. may be a few more from the On The Rocks club coming too. Now all we have to do is watch the weather, hopefully no snow down there with this up-coming storm.

Looks like it will snow before and on Saturday.. You guys want to run it still in the snow?

I'm out. Not due to snow, but my steering is still bad. New gearbox didn't totally fix it, I still have a bad dead spot in the center. I'm thinking its the steering shaft, 'cause there's nothing else it could be!

If it is snowing, no. If it snows and there is snow on the trail, no.

I have had my fill of snow runs.

I have had my fill of helping you get out of the snow too!

SO its snowing now, and they could get a foot in the foothills. Thoughts? Does anyone still want to go or should this get postponed?

I bet you have! You and Scott!

I'm not going this weekend. Tom's steering is still messed up, so my vote would be to postpone it. If you guys want to, have fun and take pics of the winching!;)

I vote if you want to postpone it to try the 19th or 26th of March.

Ok,lets hold off for those dates and see how the weather is.

Cool. Lets see how it goes. I am still planning on running Slaughterhouse if there is not too much snow. I want to make it a fairly quick run to be back to Denver and pick someone up at DIA by 3:30.

Sounds fine, I don't know if I'll be able to make the re-scheduled run though. Busy next weekend and then a week at Whistler/BC wooooo hooo

I would definitely be up for the March 11th trip if I can figure out how to keep my jeep in the middle of the lane. Anyone looking at heading out from Colorado Springs? I'd much prefer to follow someone or what not.

I don't think anyone is planning on going the 11th anymore. Might go play on slaughterhouse Sunday.

Back to Chinamans. It seems that BV recieved a bunch of snow this weekend and there may be still a fair amount this weekend. How about we try to run Chinamans on the 26th? I need to figure out why my ARB is leaking again anyway.. Who might be in?

I won't be able to run it on the 26th if anyone was still planning on it. I leave for NYC on Wedsnesday and I still have some things I have to get done before I go.
