Count me in! Let meet in the Wendy's parking lot at Eubank and I-40 (in front of the walmart). We need to hop on the freeway anyway to get out to the Puerco, so we can caravan there. We should probably meet relatively early, like 9am.

So 9am in the Wendy's Parking lot at Eubank and I-40 then?

I'll be in New Mexico this weekend.... but we're going down Eelephant Butte Friday - Monday.
I'll have my stock 05 Renegade out there

I'm still planning on going on the 6th, but I'm not sure how far I'll be able to keep up comfortably in my jeep, considering I got a flat tire and replaced it with the spare, but haven't fixed the flat one yet.

BTW, I dropped by Desert Rat, and talked to one of the guys there about how much it would be to install a spring lift and he told me $400 if I supplied the lift. Then he said thats what he charged another KJ that stopped by there a couple of weeks back. He said they installed a Rockfather Lift on a Liberty. Was that any one of us???

He installed part of my franken lift, a tranny skid, and a diffgaurd for $300 so you might see if you could just get the back lifted (which is fairly easy) and that would probably cut the price in half.

I am going to go back there to have the ARB diff installed and they have given me 2 different prices $500 and $375 so I don't know which one they will charge me.

I am really excited about this weekend.

The only thing I ask of those coming along is a full tank of gas in there jeep if they plan on doing any wheelin.

(it really stinks when you aren't sure you can get it goin again, I did that this last monday and I had 3/4s a tank, but again I was at a pretty good angle and I killed my engine on accident)

EDIT:
There will be room for 2 people in my KJ if you decide you want to leave yours at a safe place and we will bring you back to it. I am planning on 2 of my friends coming along, so it might be tight. It might also be really fun just to watch.

Bring a friend, it makes it much more fun. And sometimes they make fun noises while you are going over stuff.

Yeah, and comments like 'Are you SURE you know what you're doing?" as they try to pull the oh-$#!T bar off the A-pillar :shock:

I'll be getting in to ABQ about the time you guys are starting to the Puerco, but I need to get some stuff taken care of at my Moms place so I'll have to take a pass. But my brother is visiting also and I think I'll try to talk him into helping me install my skid plate and front hitch

I'd like to get the boulder bars installed but I think that would be way too much work for one day.

Tomorrow at 9am it is... I'll be there and maybe bring my girlfriend if she's willing...

I'll have my 4mp Olympus camera too... See you there. -Nate

I have a couple pictures that I should be able to post later today.

Sapien · **Posted:** Wed Aug 10, 2005 11:44 pm

I haven't posted pics yet, but I will tomorrow. I worked 12 hours monday, 12 hours Tuesday, 12 hours wednesday, and I have to work 12 more tomorrow, then I can have some time to post all the tons of pics I took. Me and my girlfriend took over 100 pics, but she took most of them from the comfort of inside the jeep, so she really just took pics of the bugs and dirt on the windshield... :lol:

I snapped some killer shots of both of your cars...

Good times, good times... we ought to do that again...

I'll post them in my webpage on cardomain, and let me know which ones to send to LOST Rockies... I didn't really take much pics of my own car, but its a stockie anyways...

I am trying to talk my out of the Durango into a CRD. If the prices keep going up--I think that she might get convinced...but not holding by breath.
