Are we still planning on meeting at wes' house at 9:00AM? Wes, since your jack has issues I will bring my 2 1/2 ton jack. Do you think that you'll need my 2 jack stands? And what about FULLTIMER? Since you'r comming from St. Augustine just make it when you can. That is going to be a long ride, Maybe 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Wes are you going to PM him with directions? Who all is going to be there?

Yeah I guess I need to PM everyone directions. I do have a new 2 1/2 ton jack. Ended up getting one at Walmart the other night. I figure we can start around 9 to 10 am. No hurry, we'll be working a while.

Hey guys, this may sound kind of square but it looks like we are going to have a bunch of kids here on Sat. Lets leave the beer and stuff at home and save it for afterwards. The wife and I don't drink around our daughter and 00yllwrsp is the same way. His kids will be here that day to. Hope this doesn't put a damper on things. It wasn't to big a deal until I found out all the kids are going to be here.

Lets stick to soft drinks and stuff.

Thanks guys,

Wes

Glad to see that some people are stepping up to the plate to help out. Just think you guys might even learn something or teach us something. We all enjoy more company. So don't be afraid to speak up and come. We will not bite you. Jus' the burgers! Mudtrac? Did I see you say an unlimited rubi is in your mind,HMMMMM! Just think lots of bolt ons!!!!! and think of the things that you will already have, lockers, lower gears and such.

Are we still thinking of riding on Sunday? If so I need to make arraingments cause i'm on call. Just let me know. I just got my rig clean from last weekend.

Sunday ride at 200pm I guess. I've had about 5 people ask me today if we are going riding Suday. I guess we are!! MAN, and I just got the jeep clean from last time. SO RIDE TIME IS 1400 hours at the Kangaroo at CR 42 and SR 19. Ride will last as long as you want to stay.

I'm Ready to go riding. I think that it will be cool to see how the new lift on the KJ works. With the new tires I don't think that Bryan willl get stuck as much this time. Can we go up to the place in the north end of the forest this time. I haven't been there yet but heard it's a lot of fun, I don't know where it is so you'll have to show me.

hey ya'll...just an update...the Jeep is riding great, love the way it handled off-road. I really don't like all the clunking and rattling in the front. It really sounds/feels unsafe!!!!

I think I'm going to tare down the front end again this weekend, tighten that top strut nut all the way, leave the front sway bar discoed and see if it helps. Then connect the front swaybar again, make sure everything is torqued to spec. I've been asking questions on the forum and others say their's makes no noise. I don't understand. I know I'm still learning the IFS, but I don't see how replacing stock components with upgraded can lead to that much noise??? If i dig around and find nothing that is fine, but I would rather give it a try than end up with something bad happening on the road!!! or it causing premature failure of something else. I know Wes said it happened on his the entire time he had it, but safety is my biggest concern here, otherwise I can deal with the noise.
