Mid-Illini Jeepers

Probably so. The lady I spoke with at the campground said we'd have to trailer out our jeeps from the campground unless they have a liscense plate on them. I have no idea if she actually polices it but her and her husband are the owners. Besides the concern at the campground we're going to be on the...

There's a few pieces that go into a successful hydraulic steering system. In the case of full hydraulic you would want a correctly sized orbital valve that has a realistic lock-to-lock ratio like 3.4 revolutions vs. something like 10. Also the pump plays a huge part. If your pump can't flow enough l...

Are you running 3/4" or 7/8" heims at the clevis eyes?

Is your cylinder a 2.5x8"?

A few months ago I was given the number of a Black Hills local that was supposedly into jeeps. I called the number last night and to my surprise this guy is one of the coordinators for the Dakota Territory Challenge. 8) The guys name is Craig and he's down with helping provide information about the ...

With the clock ticking we need to make a decision on the Big Trip for 2011. The 4 options that have been voiced have been South Dakota, Hot Srings, AR, Wheelin World in Eureka Springs, AR and an unknown location in Pennsylvania. Hot Springs has been ruled out as their hours and days of operation our...

Buggy! When do we start?

By popular demand.......

That it is. Haven't read much in the past on filtration and fluids for the Cummins but after a some recent reading on Cummins Forum I plan to switch to synthetic next oil change and would gladly take some suggestions for a better brand of filter.

Chevy never made a ball joint 60. If you're going high-steer then I'd definitely suggest sticking with a kingpin axle. Check out Pirate 4x4's Dana 60 Bible. All GM / Chevy versions were passenger side differential, regular rotation (low pinion) gears, disc brakes, 35 spline inners, 30 spline outers,...

These seem to be the local trails. Still don't know where they are yet. Apparently some of these criss-cross over Camp 5 Rd. which comes up on google maps. U Bolt -> 5+ Captain Crunch -> 5+ Fruity Pebbles Rock Gardens -> 5 Hal Johns -> 5 T-Back -> 5 Bikini -> 5 3 Blind Mice -> 5 Kong -> 4+ Nasties -...

Todd, we all had to pull cable to get up it.

One of the guys from this trip posted up the pics recently so I figured I'd share for anyone that might be interested.

x2 on avoiding the Camp Jeep event. If it's anything like the SFWDA Dixie Run or some of the Planet Isuzu runs I've been on, you'll be waiting in line to run each trail.

A little trail action from Helldorado there in Area BFE. Pretty insane trail but very doable. A full bodied CJ8 was with us and made it through on 36's. No body damage surprisingly but we all had to pull line on the last waterfall. http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/3883/moab2010058.jpg http://img70...

Geez Bill. Way to kill my chances of ever being the safety director.

The weekend was a great success with incredible weather. Lisa and I both had a great time. A big thanks to both Duke and Sally for making this such an enjoyable event. I hope to remedy the clutch squeal in the next few days. Keep your fingers crossed. Max, it was a pleasure for sure. The 'pink shamm...

Thanks Tom and Todd for the offer but Frank and I were able to make short work of it this afternoon. Thanks again Frank.

If anyone is going to be in the Morton area, I need about 10 minutes of help to lift my camper top onto my truck. Looking to do this either this Sunday afternoon when I return from Duke's or one night next week after 5pm. Please let me know if you're able to assist with this. Thanks

Headed out next Friday on a very last-minute trip to Moab. Traveling out with a buddy of mine to meet 2 other rigs. Will be leaving by 2pm on the 29th and returning the evening of the 4th. Sorry for the late notice but this came together this week. If anyone is interested, give me a shout.

I graduated from TTU in 05. How things slip in 2 years! Just kidding and welcome to the website.

Lisa and I plan to arrive Saturday morning and depart sometime Sunday. What can we bring?

Count me in.

Is the Jeep club that you contacted the BH4Wheelers? There are pics now up from the most recent Dakota Territory Challenge. It looks like a worthwhile place if we know where to go and can find a good place to say.
