I'm looking for a set of wheels...My '03 X is in serious need of new tires, and I'd like to find some wheels that are a bit better-looking than the low-option steel wheels on it now. I'm open to just about anything...Local pick-up would be nice. Anyone have something up for grabs?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I would like to discuss some topic which is rather popular nowadays.

Great Party Today!!!
Thank you Dennis and Marcia for letting us use your place again...
Thank you Jon and Stacy for a great set-up... the table, treats, costumes were outstanding!
It is always a good time when we get together...
The next meeting is going to be November 26th...
Before that, we NEED to decide if we want to participate at the Parade of Lights.
Phil, could you, please, let us know how to register for it and when the deadline is?
Who wants to participate? Yvette and I want to.
Please, lets communicate and get together for that special event...
I am posting this topic on the yahoo board also...
I hope that I'll hear from you all soon!
PS. we will be in Belgium (Europe... not Illinois!!) from October 27 until November 5.
Talk to you soon!
JL

Good morning,
Dave Bernard called me yesterday and told me that him and his group are going to the Badlands on Saturday October 28th... his phone number is 841-3494 if you want to contact him.
Yvette and I won't be able to go that day.
See ya on Sunday!
Have a great week!
JL

Hi All!!

   I know we haven't been around in a while, but a do remeber that Tessa moved, does anyone have her new address? I need it for the party invites!

   Thanx!!

     jon

Thank you Dennis.
I got an email from Stacy and Jon, They wont be able to be at our next meeting on the 24th...
I suggest that we try to communicate via emails and phone calls until the meeting and then make the final decision at the meeting, on the 24th.
Saturday October 07th works for Yvette and I.
Please, let us know what date is the best for you, 4xFools!
Thank you.
Stay on the road!!
JL

WOW, What a space out I did today!!
Marcia and I got a last minute invitation to participate in a U of I ROTC sail boat demonstration over at Clinton Lake today. We had to be there at noon and I figured I could watch some of that, get Marcia back to the hospital for work at a little before 3PM, then make the meeting at the Park. Whoops!! Sorry!!
I stopped by Patrick's house and got the summary from him. We ARE looking forward to the group coming out in early October for the cook out and scenic drive. October 8th would not work very good for us, due to a church function that night. Either the 1st or how about Saturday night the 7th?
I'll talk with you-all later about the dates with Marcia and see what her schedule looks like. With her working evenings now, I need her OK too. Dennis

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Hi gang,
Thank you for showing up today... I think we had a very good meeting.
I emailed Stacy and Dennis about the party. I'll let you know what's going on as soon as they contact me.... or, as we decided today, they can post their answers on this webpage and we'll all use it as a communication tool! :-)
Cannot wait for the Cliffs!!!
Have a great Labor Day Monday!
JL

Attica was pretty nice, a little muggy. None of the Boonie Riders showed. I had some anxious moments on the competition rock course. Had to winch once on Pink. Kalah really enjoyed driving the rock garden course back by the quarry. She also liked Orange until we almost got stuck in deep mud, by ourselves...

How about a trip to the Cliffs or Rockport real soon? I didn't break anything serious at Attica...

Kirk

Hello...
I hope that we'll see you all on Sunday at our meeting!!!
The Club Party is around the corner...
We went to the IFWDA meeting last Sunday, we will report to you what hapened there...
Hey Kirk... how was Attica?
See you all soon!
JL

JL

Well, you know I am interested!!! but I will be in Indy at that meeting on Sunday...
And I need to work on the Jeep before "she" can hit the trail anyway... Thanks Randy's Ravine!!!!
Have fun in Attica!
JL

Since the meeting is rescheduled, I am planning a trip to Attica instead, 27 AUG. I will be meeting Wally Sutt and some of the other Boonie riders. I suspect this will be a big dog run, Orange and Pink trails. Anyone interested?

Hi Guys,
I called Patrick tonight about the IFWDA meeting conflict we have
this weekend... I thought we changed our meeting days to avoid those
kinds of conflicts, but, hey, what do I know! :-)
and we decided to change OUR meeting date to the following Sunday,
September 3rd, 2006 instead of this Sunday. Rosa will get back to us
to let us know if the park is okay that day. This is going to be an
important meeting, because we have to talk about our Club Party, in
September or October, at Dennis' Farm if it is okay with him and
Marsha. Also, I sent 4xNews Paper an article about our show and
shine day in July... be sure to read it when you get the paper!
Well, I am sorry for the inconvenience... I hope we will see you all
on Sunday the 3rd, we will report to you what happend at the IFWDA
meeting!
Keep checking the website for updates!
Have a great week!
JL
4xFools President

I keep remembering the kid's happy faces and it makes me feel good!
I hope that y'all will have a good week!
(BTW: on our way back home last night... the CJ quit!! we had to tow it with the Wrangler! Don't know what's wrong yet! I'll be probably calling for advices!)
JL

Gotta love all this spam we're getting.

The bad news is I won't be able to attend the show n shine, I need to take the kids to camp.

The good news is I am making progress on getting the Jeep back together, should have the seats in tonight!

Kirk

Good morning All,
To answer to Andrew's question... we dont have to decorate our rigs, but it is up to us to do so if we want to be a little "special" for the show.
(I will decorate mine with... Mud!!)
I hope that ALL THE MEMBERS will be there on Sunday!
Karen, Dennis, Patrick and Phil worked a lot on that event...

JL
President

Good morning All...
Please, check your email and RSVP to our 4th of July Party invitation!
(If you did not get an "electronic" invitation... consider this message as your invitation! and reply to it)
As usual, we will have beer, white and red wine, pop and meat...
You are welcome to bring a salad, dessert or side dish! (or your favorite beverage)

Good Friday everyone!!
Our next meeting is going to be on Sunday June 25th, 2006 at 3:00pm.
Location: PIZZA GARDEN, 1503, LYNDHURST ALY - SAVOY 61874 TEL: 356-3333.
Again, I wont be there for the meeting, but we (you) have to decide ASAP if we want to be on the 4th of July Parade this year...
Jon told me that he could get an entry form for it if we decide to participate... Today is June 09th... if you want to participate at the Parade this year, send me (or another officer) a message, a note, an email or a phone call before next Friday June 16th (or reply to this forum). This way, I think that Jon will be able to get an application and we'll have time to register.
How does it sound?

Phil, could you, please, update the site with the new meeting date? Thank you!
Of course, your comments and suggestions are always welcome!
Have a great weekend and I hope that I will be seeing you tomorrow at Attica!

I hope that we'll see other members there...
Have a great weekend!
JL

Good morning...
How was the picnic? Hot??
Who is going to Rockport on Saturday? Where are we leaving from and at what time? I assume that the Mattoon People will take a different route.
Please, let me know if you talked about it at the meeting...
Yvette and I are definitively going!!
Have a great day!
JL

Good morning all,
We are sorry, but we wont be able to be at the meeting on Sunday!
This is our daughter's graduation and we don't want to miss that!
Patrick is going to be out of town... is one of the officers wanting to conduct the meeting and report it to me next week? Please, let me know.
The important thing to talk about is the "Show and Shine Show" in June.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and we hope that you'll all have fun on Sunday!
Yvette and JL

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of moving, and I found the front tow hooks that I bought for my 1998 Wrangler last year. They were from 4WheelDrive, and I am looking to sell them for what I paid for them. The shipping can be quite hefty , so you can save some money there. The tow hooks are black and are still in the box they came in. Maybe there are some new members since I left who would be interested.

If interested - please email me at ldhoppe@yahoo.com or call 353-2668.

The side door to my garage blew open during a storm and my dogs got muddy paw prints all over my Miata - inside and out. I think that's about as dirty as a Miata gets. I still haven't installed the lift kit for clearing the big boulders. :)

Lisa

We would like to invite you all to the next Buchanan Mudfest. We just finished up the May 13th event and are preparing for the the next on September 16th. We are located in Roberstville, MO about twenty miles south of Six Flags.

I would like you to think about the places you pick for our meeting. For a family with kids we will need to feed them plus now they will want to bowl. Bowling is 5.29 a person a game. Then 2.49 for shoes. You want people to come to a family orientated meeting then we pick place that a family of 4 or 5 would spend about $25 - $30 on food then another $30 - $40 to bowl. The reason I'm writting is if you take your kids in is hard to tell them they have to watch, Or we spend $50 - $70 for a MEETING!!!

At our last meeting we never nominated officers. I think everyone should do this before the next meeting. Just have an E-Mail sent out to everyone to nominate how they want that will save sometime at our next meeting. Jon said he would like to stay treasurer. So I ( Stacy ) nominate Jon for treasurer. And Phil said that he would be one of the I.F.W.D.A. delegates, so I nominate Phil as our number 1 delegate.

Thank you

Stacy Schwanke

Hi All,
Thank you, Phil, for placing the next meeting date and location on the front page... It looks great!
Everyone should be present to the next meeting... again, a Club cannot exist without active members.

JL and all,
I just called G.T.'s Western Bowl and told them we would meet there on Sunday afternoon March 26th from 3 pm to about 5 pm. They will be expecting us.
See you there!
Dennis Riggs

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Good morning all,
Thank you very much, Dennis, for looking at meeting locations.
G.T.’s Western Bowl sounds good to me!
Would you call them and reserve the room for our next meeting, Sunday March 26, 2006 at 3:00pm, please?
I will post this message on Yahoo and on our webpage as well.
Have a great week!

Yvette

Kirk, it works fine now, thanks.

I got to it, that's when I deleted the post. Of course it was to late for those who have it e-mailed. Sorry about that! After looking at those pics I think it's a great idea to replace the factory roll bar.

Hmmm, word wrap problem. You can hit the link, then copy/paste the second line into your browser so you get the whole address. Let's see if it works this time:

http://bbs.offroad.com/ubbthreads/showflat...r/1481000/an/0/page /0#Post1481000

Kirk

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Not sure if anyone saw this email. The link takes you to a discussion of the Haspin Acres run and helps reinforce why additional protection is a good idea. Think the factory bar is good enough? Better check out the link.

Knowing that Billy is over 25 years old from Central Indiana, rust bucket of the midwest, I'll glad my main cage is tied into frame and gusseted. I heard this was his first time out.
I want to have bottom of main bar repaired before going out again. You can never be too safe.

Thank you Dennis...
See you at the meeting...
JL

Thanks to all who went on the Saturday road trip to Danville! Had about a dozen folks total. Really saw some great rides at Johnson's Off-road and learned a lot of "inside" information about CB radios at Sparky's CB Shop. And, the "Gross Burgers" were great!
We have found three businesses that know and appreciate off-roaders. Full report at the next meeting in Villa Grove on February 26th at 3:00pm. Dennis Riggs

Good Monday!
How was the trip on Saturday?
I wish I could go...

Thank you Dennis...

I hope that we'll be seeing a lot of members!
Have a great day!
JL
President
4xFools

Hi Crew!
I have the back room at O'Charlies booked for Sun Jan 15th. The only catch is that we have to hold off until 4:00 pm for the meeting because they have another group in there from 1 until 3 pm. It might be open by 3:30 pm, but they asked for 4:00 pm just to give them time to clean the room and get it ready.
Hope this works for everyone, if not, let me know.
Dennis Riggs

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Good Morning All...
Our next meeting is going to be on SUNDAY JANUARY 15TH, 2006, at 3:00pm.

How was the Parade last night?
I hope that you had a nice turn out!
JL

Great run-a-way Jeep story!
It was ready to go...too bad you weren't.
Good advise JL
Dennis

< replied-to message removed by QT >

...Do NOT trust your emergency brake...!
This morning, I had the Jeep running to get warm, hood up, checking the fluids... then I went inside the house to get something... looked thru the window and saw my "accross the street" neighbourg coming to the house... I looked and, sure enough... the Wrangler is in the middle of the street, running, hood still up, against his car!!! The brake popped loose and the Wrangler went downhill my drive way into his car... breaking his turning signal in 2 or 3 pieces!!! He was cool with the situation and I told him that I was going to replace the broken part... but, again... Never Trust Your Emergency Brake!!! :-)
JL

Hi Everyone,
I won't be able to go to the Parade in Sidney... :-(
Does someone plan to be there? I think that would be a good thing to have our Club represented at the Parade...
The 4xFools signs are available at my house, give me a call if you need them! 621-3231 Yvette's cell - 337-7271 home.
Have an ice Day!!!
Stay warm...
JL

Great... Thank you, Sir!
JL

I just talked to the manager at Tracks. He said that no other parties are booked for tomorrow night. We would be more than welcome to stop by. Dennis

< replied-to message removed by QT >

The new tranny is ready to go in the CJ!!! Thank you to Kirk and Phil for the help...
Anyway, we are going to start the job tomorrow night after the Parade of Lights and finish it on Sunday... (I rent a Transmission Jack for the weekend).
So... if you really want to freeze your butt in my garage (no I have kinda sort of heat), get your hands greazy, or just want to hang on with us... you know my address!.
That's my last message!!
JL

Dennis,
did you have the chance to talk to your body at Tracks about tomorrow night?

Hi Guys,
We took the Jeep back after work and drove it... the temperature gauge does alright and we had a nice, warm and cozy drive back home!!!! Heat is working fine now!!!
Probably a frozen hose somewhere...
Thanks for your emails!
Stay warm!
JL

Dennis, thank you for your answer, I will be looking if I am losing water somewhere...
See ya Tomorrow!
JL

JL,
Sounds like you are losing water somewhere. The first place you usually notice it is when the heater core is not getting water from the Jeep's cooling system.
When you refilled the antifreeze, there was probably still air in the core. That's why no heat from the heater. Filling it again with the Jeep running and the heater turned on and running is the way to fix that.
But, why did you lose the water in the first place. That should be your next thing to look for.

< replied-to message removed by QT >

Good morning,
I started the Wrangler this morning to heat it up before leaving to work and it worked fine.
I let it run for a while and then rode it to work. At half way (about 1 mile) from home, I noticed that the air coming for the vent into the Jeep was freezing cold still!
My temp gauge was almost at 200F!
The temperature kept raising up to 260F when I stopped at the gas station... I thought I was out of water in the radiator. I opened the hood, nothing is really hot under there, until I opened the cap of the radiator... then boiling water started comming out the radiator... I waited a little bit and when it cooled of, I added some antifreeze and water to level. Oil was okay too.
I started the Jeep again, let it run for a while... temp. is now okay.
I drove the rest of the way to work, temp. was still okay but I still have freezing air coming from the vent inside the car!!!
Thermostat problem? Water Pump? Any idea?
See ya'll tomorrow...
JL

Phil...
This is what we have for the January 1st raffle.

Good morning,
If you were not at the meeting yesterday... well, you missed a good one! The officers reported what we talked about at our Board Meeting last wednesday, and we made a lot of plans for the following months.
Please, try to attend our next Club Event... "Jeep 101"... next Saturday (Oct 22), from 9:00am until 1:00pm, at Shelby Motor in Champaign... we'll do the same thing we did a few months ago... (safety clinic, mini trail drive...). I will burn some of the Club pictures I have on a CD and we will show them on Dennis' labtop...
Email me at gourmetjl@aol.com if you have any questions.
Have a great day!
JL

Happy Birthday... Sam and Rebecca!!!

Hi Gang...
Don't forget next Sunday Meeting, please...
And reserve your next Saturday morning/early afternoon
(Oct 22) for our good friend Dennis... The 4xFools are going to be at Shelby that day... I can tell you that this is a lot of fun...! More details on Sunday!

Hi Everyone...
We had our Board Meeting tonight and we decided to have our October Meeting this coming Sunday (16) at 3:oo pm at the Stinky Park in Urbana (the weather is supposed to be nice!) due to some conflicts with October 23rd. This meeting is an important one because we are going to report to you what we talked about tonight... I hope that a lot of members will be there, and I am sorry for the short notice!
Have a great week!
JL

Hi Gang,
How was the meeting yesterday? Wet???
We had a great time with our daughter and she told us that she will never forget her 18th Birthday!!
I will stop by Patrick's shop soon to get his report.
The pics that Andrew posted are good, I suggest that we all share our pictures (Wilstem - Party...) with Phil or Mark and they can post them on the website!
Have a great week!
JL

Hi Everyone,
We are not going to be present at our monthly meeting in Mattoon... it is our younger daughter Amandine's 18th Birthday and we want to spend the day with her for that special occasion... I called Patrick and I am going to meet with him on Friday to go over the topics for our meeting...
Please, let's "start" to talk about next year agenda... I know, it is hard with 90F degree days... but next year is around the corner and I would like to see next year very successfull and full of activities and events for all of our member's tastes and preferences... shows, rides, meetings...
We will be at the next meeting on Oct 23rd... let me know where you want to meet and I"l be looking for availability...
Talk to you soon...
JL

Phil,

Pro of going to the dark side:
Lots of Jeeps on the trail, people have spares and know how to diagnose/fix them.
The open top experience rules, Samurai and Toyota FJ40 are other options.
Cons of going to the dark side:
Jeeps are actually fragile things with a tough image
It is fairly expensive to get one in reliable trail shape.
Older models have really crappy carburetor, weak axles, finicky clutches... Here is a spotters guide:
http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/sgdynamo....cle_ID.html&checked= Y

Pro of picking a CJ-5 for a trail rig:
Short wheelbase makes them very maneuverable
Relatively cheap due to lower demand.

Cons of picking a CJ-5 for a trail rig:
Small front seat
Really only good for 2 people on trail
Short wheelbase (83.5" is one inch longer than Sammi) limits tire size and lift
Zero storage for spares, tools, etc.
Expect high miles, crappy carburetor, weak axles, finicky clutch... Rust

Pro of picking a CJ-7 for a trail rig:
Longer wheelbase, 93.5
Front seat fits big people, storage behind rear seat.
One of the easier vehicles to lift.

Cons of picking a CJ-7 for a trail rig:
Expect high miles, crappy carburetor, weak axles, finicky clutch... Rust

Pro of picking a YJ for a trail rig:
Much better rust proofing
Late models have fuel injection

Con of picking a YJ for a trail rig:
Lower than CJ, tend not to flex as well
Dana 35C is crappiest axle of all, but rare Dana 44 from Cherokee can be swapped in.


< replied-to message removed by QT >

Well, since I MAY go over to the dark side, tell me why I should or shouldn't get a CJ5. Explain please.

Oh - on the Jeep...

Those tires are 30", not 19".

I might have 19" tires on my bicycle. Just a little typo there.

Looking forward to a great time on Sunday.
I have arranged a little off-road/senic tour of some land just a few miles from our farm. I'll have details at the party.
Does anyone have a time constraint (JL & Yvette have to leave at 4PM) if so let me know so that we can plan our outing around them.

Man, I wish I had $ 9000.00 right now!!! Good Luck Lisa!
Also, Gang... Yvette has to work tomorrow :-(
We will have to leave the party around 4:00pm.
The weather is going to be
