LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Old Navy's Fall '06 GTG

Well it's time top start planning for the fall GTG. Linda has provided me the date, she says Saturday 14 Oct is the day.

As usual we will provide the food and drink, but if you have something special you want to bring feel free to do so. We have a gas fired grill and if you want to warm up something or cook something special feel free to do so. What we do is try to provide all the food and drink along with a outside porta-potty for the guys. The reason for this is everyone coming is generally coming off a 3 to 6 hr drive, and some may be doing 10 or 12 hrs road time.

More info will be posted later such as directions and motel info, this is just to let everyone know the date so calendars can be adjusted.

This will also be open to Jeep CRD and VW drivers. At the bottom is a link to the VW TDI forum about the GTG if you want to watch that page.

Only 10-12 hrs from Atlanta??

Yea Buddy, I am putting that on the calender. I know thw GTG is for the TDI's but we guys and Gals in our CRD's might be the dominant group In as my neighbor says "Missura". Yahoo Maps says only 491.2 mi. not even two tanks of fuel.

Perhaps some CCV filter installs at this event ...?

Just making sure that those that are new here see it and maybe come, along with it being a reminder to people with real busy lives that might forget about the fun & work coming up in Oct. :wink:

Bump... Maybe this should be a sticky?

Yahoo Maps says only 491.2 mi. not even two tanks of fuel. If you slow down to about 60 mph get some good 46 to 50 cetane fuel with about a B2 to B20 mix you could probably make it on a tank. When I head to MI for that GTG I am going to keep it at 60 to 65 mph and see if I can do a 600 mile tank. Yes, I will have 4 jerry cans each with 3 gal of B10 fuel just in case.

If you want to have someone do or help with something on the Jeep such as skid plate install, oil change or fuel filter change please post it here so I can repost with the current work list below and on the VW site. Work List: TB List: As per MOGolf: B4's require: timing belt, timing belt tensioner, idler roller, serpentine belt, power steering/water pump v-belt, serpentine belt tensioner pulley. Optional is water pump as these last a very long time typically. Usually only the part with the impeller is needed, however if bolts break off then you're better off with the entire assmbly with new o-rings for mating to the block and thermosat. Replacing the entire assembly takes a lot longer than just the impeller housing. Some vendors sell the entire assembly for less than just the impeller housing with gasket. 1.) Jerry Stringer: TB on '97 Passat 2.) Kneebull: TB on '96 Passat 3.) mcolmsted: TB on '03 Jetta Wagon 4.) Bookerdog: TB on '02 Golf General maintenace & trouble shooting: 1.) Cardinarky: vacuum problems? brake bleeding. 2.) Old Navy: Brake bleeding on Magnum. 3.) ensanity: Door handle adjustment to prevent pulling off arms. 4.) marauderer: Provent install and TS Performance MP-8 power module and their Multi purpose display module to install.

Old Navy - Where would you recommend to get fuel in your area?

Author:	oldnavy [ Sun Aug 06, 2006 12:23 pm ]

There is one station just off US 60 at Sikeston MO, on highway 61/62 about 11 miles that is an MFA 24hr Major Credit Card only with B10 49 Cetane fuel at pump #3 and I figured I would do some more checking in Sept for fuel type available closer to home.

Things are looking good for the GTG on Saturday 14 Oct, does anyone need any info that is not posted here? This is a major stop over for Ozark travel and entry into local vacation area's so you might want to make arangements at motel's listed. Also there is an RV camp just 2 or 3 miles north of town and about 5 minutes from my house with full facilities.
