Hey Matt,

Well I'm an old mudder from way, way back, so when I got the chance I went for it. Rocks on the other hand are very new to me and I'm not set up for it.

Cleaning a little mud is a minor issue, but rolling a Jeep, tearing up the underside of my Jeep because of Big Rocks is another matter. However mud and sand gets into your drive train and that is a big issue. Both cost a lot of cash, so I'll see which way I will go soon enough.

I'm leaning towards Baja, which is a whole different Animal there! I love motor sports and speed is my deal. I hit that mud hole at a fairly high rate of speed in 4 Low in 5 gear. No muss, no fuss!

I use this for the mud before taking to the wash to let the pros detail it :)

I'll call you, because as much as this is going to hurt (since everyone will roast me), but I can't text. Never took the time to learn, or never cared to do so.

I can't see the point. It's crazy. Last time I went to visit my Son (29 now), we all were sitting in the same room and everyone was texting someone else. What's the point in being together? And if I'm not around the person I would like to converse, with I just call them... :confused:

It's a generational thing ;)
But I can't stand to be in the same room and everyone is texting each other rather than talk. I just walk out of the room.

Well I'm thinking about going back to Bridgeport on Saturday 11-6. Going to try to bring the wife out there. Just do some easy trails. Don't want to scare her with the rocks lol Just make it a half day trip.

So David, when is the next group outing? And does anyone have a recommendations on a 2.5 lift that has both shocks and coils? I have 3 I'm looking at but I think I'm going to eliminate the rubicon express because because it's $100 more than I want to spend. To many options and not enough info :/

4 Wheel Parts in Dallas can "Kiss My A$$!!!

Nice guys, but don't know their A$$ from a Hole in the Ground when it comes to business!

Sorry but you just hit a nerve ending regarding 4 Wheel Parts. They over billed my credit card $252.44 and it took many calls and visits in person with the store manager, but he kept putting it off on the sales guy. After 65 Days I got a credit on my card -$41.99 short.

I called up and told them I'll never do business with them and they can take that $41.99 and stick it up their A$$!!!

I only do business with Quadratec now. Sort of sucks because if I need help with my installs they are the only game in town besides "Mike's Off Road" and they are so booked it takes forever to "Get R Done"!

Thinking about getting my wrenchs back out and contacting Quadratec about starting up a full service store in the DFW area? It's been a few years since I turned a wrench, but I loved it!

OK, I'm done now, but I still have a hard on for these guys and might even take it to court!!!

Just my 2 cents!!!

Which Dallas store? I have a bud that wrenches on Jeeps and is reasonable. Not sure how busy he is these days though

They only have Dallas, Plano, Coppell and FTW. It's the Dallas location on I-35 and Inspiration.

Don't really have anything to install now but in the future I'll keep in mind.

Thanks,

Anyone looking at going to the Hot Springs Jeep Jamboree event on 10/25-10/27? Has anyone been on one, can you recommend? I thought it might be a good first experience with the new Jeep since I have never been wheeling.
Jeep jamborees are awesome. And it would be a great way to get your feet wet. I highly recommend them. They offer excellent trail guides and you always meet good people. It is also a great way to get your family involved because they have a good family atmosphere.

The coolest part is that you often get to ride trails that are closed to the public. That would be the I only downside to the jamboree in hot springs. I was looking at it recently I think it is hosted entirely at the super lift offroad park in hot springs. Which means that the trails are available year round. Not a real problem, it would still be worth it. But since I won't be able to go on multiple jamborees this year I am thinking about waiting for the TX Spur which runs on closed land.

Exactly or Tribe 4x4 in Fort Worth is who i would go to. Adam is one of the best fabricators i have ever seen. Not ever had many good dealings with 4wheel parts. If you have a facebook account check out Tribes page. He posts alot of pics of their work.

Sorry, been traveling all week and couldn't find the link. Had it booked marked at home, so here you go. 4 tire inflator. Now this isn't the compressor, it's just the air lines.

On the compressor I'm leaning toward this one. It is a permanent mount. ARB
I must have missed something. The air at Bridgeport is free.
