Mid-Illini Jeepers

That was good! No, she doesn't normally read except for trips.

Colorado update. Yesterday I made resverations for the trip to CO. Kat and Al, Vicki and I will be staying at the KOA in Ouray, the owner of the campground told me they are filling up fast. I'll post a link to the KOA website.

No, that's her job now.

Yes, a sandwich and a beer.

Kat,Al, Vic and I will be camping.

Haha, 7 days into the new year and the only posts are about eating. I'm not surprised.

Way cool Christmas card! Congrats to the Martin family.

Vicki and Papa Billy

Many thanks to Matt and Jon M. for all the work that made for a great trip! And thanks to the guys that helped clean up the kitchen after the meals!

No damage report, the weather wasn't bad, well, except for Friday's rain. We off roaded all day Saturday.

Please fix. I'm stressing here.

Are you sure it's not revelant, maybe the problem is at your end.

Sent from my iphone.

Let's see. Off road roads/trails near Telluride and Quray.

Sounds good to me Matt. I should be there by 11am on Friday.

Jon, if you haven't counted me in, you can now.

What the tech was saying was not to use the flow thru. They are longer and could get hung up. I think it's a good idea. They can be transferred from trailer to trailer or what ever.

Looks like a good idea. This quote is from a tech guy where they sell them.

Seat belts are overrated anyway.

I do have experiance with baby delivery. I have a feeling it's going to be a C section, no experiance there. Plus I'll need to supplement my fixed retirement income.

On top of that, this Daughters birthday is the 26th, the baby is due the 18th, and the Grandaugthers B-day is the 29th.

I did tell Brandt about the advantages of being a MIJC member.

I thought I'd update this thread after looking at the Jeep tonight. Here's what I found. 1). Slop in the steering shaft at the joints. 2). 1/4 of a turn of the steering wheel before the tires start turning. 3). Zero caster. 4). At least 2" of side to side movement of the steering box and mount ...

As of right now I would like to go. The good news is, November 14, 2015 is my last day at work.

The bad is, ( not really bad) the Daughters baby is due about this same time. Papa Billy should probably be there.

I would also be willing to look at the jeep in person. A number of us have a SOA set up, and the SOA is done correctly.

PM me your phone number, include the best time to call.

Bill

Vicki and I will be there. Unsure about Grandkids

That's what I think Dave, or someplace like this.

The owner has the clear title, not a salvage title.

From my search I've found prices from $2k to 3.9k, depending on damage. The owner has put Rubicon stickers on the hood, they know it isn't a Rubicon. I have a feeling they won't like the price I give them. The owners wife told me they have all the receipts for what they put on it. After market rear ...
