    I will be there. We will have everyone meet up first thing Saturday morning. Make sure you have you flag and get your registration with the park done first and we will meet in the camp ground area.

    I tell you what, why don't we meet up at the lower parking lot right after the park opens. I will be there until 10:00a.m., then we head out. We will meet again @ noon so that anyone that comes in late can catch up. Sound good? I run a CB radio also, if you need to get a hold of me just call for Jim Bailey on channel 15.

    About a week left guys! I still have to bleed the new full hydo system and mount and charge my ORI's. Should be ready then! I have put a ton of work in to make this ride, and It's just about done.

    Man, this is going to be down to the wire again! I always feel like I'm on one of those Chop, Cut, Rebuild episodes when I get ready to go wheelin".

    Seems that I have lost or misplaced some fittings for the orbital. Chip @ PringleFab in Houston is next daying me the parts today and I should have them tomorrow. I still need to mount the ORI's and charge them today. I also found out I have a hairline crack in one of my knuckles. I'm gonna weld it, plate it, and pray. If all goes as planned, should be loaded up on Wednesday night. My shake down run will consist of a blast down a turn row, though a couple of ditches, and on to the trailer.

    Jim, you don't have a build thread with your most recent changes, do you? Anything other than coil springs are a long way off for me, but I'm really interested how the ORIs work out for you.

    Fawk me. The YJ is definitely not going to be ready and I wouldn't be able to stay all weekend - too busy with school and a snafu with work. I'm wanting to dust off the ZJ and bringing it out for a day, but it wouldn't be up for a whole hell of a lot (basically stock with 2" of lift, 31s, and no skids now).

    Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm not big on writing build write ups because it feels like I'm pulling the "Look at me, and how awesome I am", kinda thing. I know most of the time it's not that way, and I really do need to document some of the things I've done to my WJ. I'm a pretty humble guy and don't want people to think that I'm bragging or know everything there is to know. I have read countless builds for information, and it's only right that I post up my experiences with a Grand. I went with 16" STX ORI's. I have not put them in the dirt yet, but after this weekend, I will give you a full write up on both my Jeep and the ORI's performance. I was planning on running them soon, but not for this trip. This all changed when I discovered a coil over lost charge due to a bad seal. I bumped up my purchase date and pulled the trigger now. What really sold me was a comment from an ORI owner on Pirate that refered to them as, "Riding on a cloud of titties", and who would think that was not a good idea?

    Well with everything going on with my house i am buying looks like i will only be able to make it down for the day on saturday. Planning on just driving it down now instead of trailering so will have to watch what i get into but will still have a good time. Anybody know how many rigs we got coming?

    Well guys, I will not be making the trip. I got the 60 in the front, Steering done, ORI's mounted and charged, winch working, and even got the rear suck down winch working. I took it for a shake down run last night and there is something banging and binding in the front end. I also discovered i have 2 cracked knuckles. I would have just loaded it up and went if it was not 550 miles. I figured I would end up wrenching all weekend and probably breaking something and making things worse. Sorry guys.

    Is this still going down? Looks like this year isn't panning out too well

    If anyone is still going, I should be able to get the ZJ going and make it Sunday, but won't be able to hit anything too serious. There's still plenty to do at Badlands for mild rigs, though.

    So who's still in?
