GWNF Fall Wheeling Trip

[VBVA]

Hey Hey, it was a nice Jeep. I really respect the Grand Cherokee vehicles and their owners more than the Wrangler vehicle and owner combos who know nothing about their vehicle or off-roading in general. Way to go donkeyboy on having such a killer vehicle even though it still is a JEEP! If was only an explorer....

I never said it wasn;t. I gave him quite a few nice compliments. What I liked most about it was the scratches on the rock rails, and the 2 dings on the door (don;t worry, i'll keep it to myself, donkey ), showing that he uses it. The thing is most guys with a wrangler "build" them for the look of a cool wrangler but it will never see any bit of dirt, mud, or rock. And for him to take his new, daily driver, through some of that stuff, i give him props!

With all them Explorers on the trails nowadays, I had to do something for being different

BTW, I also started liking the YJ and TJ drivers, most of them are great guys which wheel like we do. I have no problems keeping with my well protected but just mildly moded WJ up with most stock ir light modded Wranglers

I guess you wheel with the respectable YJ and TJ drivers who know what they are doing, but the ones I know (mostly college and high school students) have a Jeep just to have a Jeep. One more thing, your kids should be proud of their daddy, he knows what he is doing and has a killer daily driver

OK, since the trip is over and obviously you guys had a great time (I wish I had foreseen how it would have turned out!!!!!!!!!!!), I hope it is okay to take this off topic real quick. Isles4evr, where are you in Hangover? I use to live in Spring Meadows right past Wal-Mart. Now, I am only about 15 minutes out 295, right off Woodman. And donkey boy, you are in Glen Allen.........with a good tailwind, I can almost throw a football to Glen Allen. How come I never see you guys on the road. I have only seen one modded X in Richmond, and that was down south near Petersburg.

Anyways, glad you guys had a GREAT time. Hopefully I will be ready for a repeat run in Spring maybe.

Hangover, eh? So what do I give the whole community the nick name now or something? . Naw I am in the Atlee/Elmont area off of Atlee Station Road right by the hanover air park (kings charter ring a bell?). You probably don't see me around cause the X gets driven like once a week unless my Tahoe has something being done to it.
I have seen a few "build" explorers around here. I saw a bad ass bright yellow first gen downtown, when I went to the Y101 birthday bash this summer. It had a 5.5" lift and 33's from what I could tell. And there is a 93/94 Eddie 4 door with a 3" body that drives by me all the time but never waves (even when I am in the explorer)... i get so pissed!
And VBVA, I know what you mean by the kids owning a YJ or TJ just to have a jeep. We have what we call here a "Jeep Borgrade (sp?)." When there are parties here there are usually like 6 or 7 YJ's TJ's and a CJ that park behind one another.

those Jeepers Well, I don't really consider those yahoos as "Jeepers", and actually, you find them at some easy to access hangouts in the woods (normally leaving tons of empty cans behind :fire: ), maybe getting stuck in the first puddle, but you rarely meet them on the real trails.

Robb, you will never find me if you are on the look-out for a modded X

the guys we wheeled with were pretty cool.... i liked being the big dawg... but that one trail was to small for my X compared to those tj's an yj's

Where are all the pics that were promissed

 

[Isles4evr]

No where to be found i guess. I can't find anyone with a scanner around here.. my buddy who had one is away at Ohio state now. I did, however, go out and buy a dig. camera last week. I got a Canon A40. It definitly fits my needs... actually has more features than I need, but oh well.

I don't remember from the run, but was it a throw away camera?

Hope you find it

Chris

 

[yob_yeknom]

No, it wasn't a disposable camera. It's not a big loss, I got it for like $30 at Wal-Mart. I don't know where else to look for it though. I think I might have left it in my truck when I had the damage from the deer fixed. It could have got lost there.

 

[VBVA]

John, you can post some of my pics if you want to since you are elite. Sucks to hear about your camera, your friends were taking a lot of pics with it.
