Just signed up. Wanted to express interest in the upcoming Raush Creek trip in October. Don't have much free time but if my free time and the trip match I would like to go.

1993 Jeep YJ. Used to be a bone stock daily driver until I got interested in off road and pooled enough cash to make the mods I wanted. 190,000 miles on the clock. Had two Grand Cherokees while I was driving the YJ. Daughter has a 2000 XJ that she wants lifted. That's another story. Used to drive CJ-7 in the Navy, an M151 and an M715. Love Jeeps. Looking for a CJ-2 or 3 to work on.

Dual purpose rig: drive to the trail, air down, unhook sway bar and track bar and go wheeling; air up, hook up and drive home 75MPH on the Pike. Work was done by Bob at Bay State Off Road who I highly recommend. Pooling up some more cash for the next wish list.

Mods include: Dana 30 front with chromoly solid axles, ARB air locker, 4.56 gears; Ford 8.8-inch rear, 4.56 gears, ARB air locker; NP231 transfer case with slip yoke eliminator and heavy duty chain; belly up skid plate; GenRight rock sliders and gas tank skid; original 4-liter in line 6 and 5 speed manual AX15.

Needs new fenders and seats. Needs to be driven off road more then I have been.

How do you like your Warn front bumper? Was thinking about running a Warn bumper when I replace my stock.

Hey man how's it going? This is Joe with the beat YJ on 38's who led FTR on a stocker run back in Spring.

How's your daughter doing? She get any more seat time in the YJ?

Good to see you here.

The Warn bumpers are fine. Good solid construction and a good size, although everyone is making them now so you could probably look around and get the same quality for less. I bought the name and probably paid more than I should have.

Joe, your YJ isn't beat, it is just getting broken in. My daughter has gotten more seat time but it is never enough. She needs more.

Please excuse my ignorance, but is there a list of proposed runs somewhere that I can use for planning?

XXXXXXX on the XXXXth: is the the Fall Crawl? Couldn't sign up as I can only predict my schedule about 3-weeks in advance. Plus I have to get a kitchen pass from my wife.
