I will say yes at the moment but I am still chasing the high/low range problem I seem to be having, so if I find the problem
I definately be joining you, if I don't well I still only have a 2wd KJ :dizzy:

Sorry i must have missed something Jason, You cant select 4wd???? Didnt you have a drive shaft issue a while ago, hope nothing is broken in that transfercase!!!! Maybe its just the selector cable..

I have to chuckle at this discussion. Jenko, for the past two years, has insisted his front diff was stuffed and needed a rebuild. When he finally took it in to get it fixed it turned out to be the selector cable! I seem to recall gi-frogs coming loose at Camp Coffs and had to be fixed trailside by one of the LOST members. Seems a common issue.

Yes I remember James being stuck in low, even more the leaches that I had on me after climbing under in the mud, just a
simple slide back on. I am leaning towards the cable linkage as I can't get it into low now. Mine sounds like Jenko's, a bit
like a bunch of ball bearings having a dance party under neath when you pull on the stubby lever. I haven't found any shavings
in the front diff although I have a little amount of pinion movement. It takes abit to disingage 4WD as well so here is to hoping
it is minor and can be fixed before the outing. I don't want to try and fit Nash and camping gear into a TJ.

If there is anyway I can get down there for that weekend I will try and make it. My son leaves for Japan on the 15th so no reason for me to hang around Dysart. We'll see.

It would be great if you could join us Glen.

I'll keep some extra wood for the camp fire

Whats a bit of rain between friends, I almost feel like a wet camp expert these days. Aleast if it rains we can always make our own
fun. We did at Woodgate and it was miserable weather. I am just looking forward to catching up with everyone.
Hope you are going to bring that big tarp of yours Greg we may need it. :JEEPIN:

= I can sleep anywhere.
See you all Friday.
