February 15, 200818 yr I was wondering if anyone would like to try a walker run for March 15th. I put it out about a month so that way everyone will have fair warning about it coming up. I hope that there are a few people that would like to come up for it, or down for that matter. I'm sure that I could say Will and I are in, Although I haven't asked Will about it yet, But Scott, Rollie,Rob, Kenny and maybe a few other northerners would like to come down to romp around in my neck of the woods. Zap and Qman It would always be nice for you guys to come up too, but it is a long drive I understand. Jess (slideshow86) if you want to come too this is a good time, If you have any trouble up here I think there are enough parts to get you going again.I'll even offer up some shop space if anything happens.Anyone who would like to come, come on down. Maybe we can even get Todd out for this. Jeff
February 15, 200818 yr Count me in. I just downloaded a DNR map of the area. The map is from 2006 and somewhat incomplete, however, it is the best one I could find. http://www.nwjeepn.com/Maps/walkerValley.pdf If anyone has a newer, more complete version of this map; please post a link. Thanks I'll be sure to invite some of my Toyota buddys, as they're always very entertaining to watch . Oh, how they do try so very hard!
February 15, 200818 yr if i have the gas money, after a run to reiter the first weekend of march. i'll be there.

February 17, 200818 yr OK OK Im going to shoot to make this one. But in my brat! Ill be putting all my time till then into it. Just dont know what Im going to do about tires.

Ill let you guys know Jess walker's mud is alot slicker than tahuya and gooier.
February 17, 200818 yr Damn then the tires I got free on the brat aren't going to hack it. I'm not sure the a/t's I have on then wagon are any good in gooy mud either? Hmmm Jess
February 17, 200818 yr Chris whats ya got ?? um, that stock 87 that removed a certain burgundy wagon out of a snowbank at reiters a month ago its an 87 ea82 3at 4wd pushbutton, by march 15th it should have a welded diff. did ok at reiters, just needed a little better ground clearance and some knobby tires. chris
February 17, 200818 yr Author We could move it to what ever day is best for everyone. I just put up a date so that everyone would maybe have an Idea and all, about this. What ever day works for me. Jeff

Hmmm Jess Are those Widcats that you got on there right now? If they have some decent tread left on them I think they would do the trick. My buddy Brian went up there with, almost bald 30's and he went everywhere. As long as there is a fair amount of tread I wouldn't worry about it.:cool: Jeff
February 17, 200818 yr well i'm out for now, unless i get a couple things fixed, i need to find an ea81 caliper and rotor for the front right. grenaded cv shaft is on order, need to find a spare also and i have to find some sealed ball joints also... so a big maybe now.
February 18, 200818 yr Author Woody says he is in too. He is going to get his brat done this week and he'll be going up with us. Jeff
February 18, 200818 yr ^You should order two. Keep one as a spare. yeah but this one is lifetime warranty. just need to find another rear cv, and do another warranty exchange.

I had an incredible overheating problem, and an even more incredible camber issure. All due to my own ignorance of course. But the Wildcats performed just fine.
February 18, 200818 yr Author I'll bring an extra rear axle just in case, It can be the "Crew axle" cause all of us w/ the gen 2's know one of us is going to need it. I might even bring 2 extras. and I'll have a front one at my house If anyone needs one for the drive home. Jeff
February 18, 200818 yr Heres walker at its best http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=14 [/url] Scott Mud 5

February 19, 200818 yr Author Thanks Scott. I know. I hope they'll all hold in there but there is always one axle. Jeff
February 19, 200818 yr After the weather today, I'm sure hoping it is nice for this trip. Not that I dislike some tacky mud to play in. It would just be nice to see some sunshine. Now that I think about it, I've never been to Walker when the sun was shining.
