AJOR Xmas Trail Trip...8th Dec

[Jimmyb]

Well its been a looooong time since I've run a AJOR trip in Qld. Last time we did a run I think we ended up with approx 25+ vehicles.

Plan will be....

Date: 8th Dec
Idea: Sat Arvo / Night run
Time: Meet at 5pm @ Caboolture BP
Location: Glasshouse Mountains / Beewah
What to bring: Rated shackles. Snatch strap. Drinks. Food. Torch. Things that glow in the dark!

Always a good way to get various clubs together and to also meet people from the forum.

Please put expressions of interest here.

[Matt&Leisa]

[bikemat]

ooooooh recent bad memories from glasshouse (involving filling the grand up with mud) but i'd be keen!! So long as it's nothing too tough.
I have my final uni exams ending on the 15th so anytime after that would be fine by me.

[silver_jk]

i recken a cple of jk's would be there ;)

[stoney2]

would be keen just say when

[waynegler]

Count us in, be great to meet some new jeepers!
Hey Jimmy hear we have some mutual friends DT and DT's Biarch!

[55SIC]

I would be very keen to come along, but i agree with bikemat as long as there is nothing to tough or damaging. But i am up for a bit of fun !!!!! :D

[OIIIO]

Yep,
I'm keen, I work on Saturday's.
But if you're camping overnight, we can meet you guys later in the night, and have a play on Sunday.

(assuming i don't get lost):rolleyes:

[Lux_095]

Ill be keen to come along depending on work

[Remus]

I'm also keen dependant on work commitments

[wendaloo]

i recken a cple of jk's would be there ;)

Can I come along with you guys? I would love to go, but not keen on driving at night by myself. :wall:

I will bring food! :mrgreen:

[grand jg]

im interested, will it be a run that a stock grand could make?

[Jimmyb]

It will be a easy/med run through Glasshouse at night, that will have time to stop for people that want to do harder things.

[kyro]

yeah i'm keen at this stage

[andy_n]

I will have to fix the fuse on my rock lights.

[ShadoZJ]

Yep i am also keen

[Matt&Leisa]

We will not be able to confirm for a few weeks as we will have no email/net on the Cape. But as I said if at the end on next month we would be 95%..

[silver_jk]

Can I come along with you guys? I would love to go, but not keen on driving at night by myself. :wall:

I will bring food! :mrgreen:

[RedJeep]

[wendaloo]

i recken we could let the lovely wen in one or both the jk's & you mention he special word "food" **)

Thanks guys! :p

[55SIC]

I have just returned home from a day testing out my new beast on a few of the trails from the ''dirty weekends'' book around the glass house mountains. Had a great time and can't wait to do it again with some jeep pro's :). I was very suprised how rutted the tracks are they must have got a flogging in the last few times we have had some decent rain. But i had no drama's in my car crawing over them.

[Jimmyb]

Date: 8th Dec
Idea: Sat Arvo / Night run
Time: Meet at 5pm @ Caboolture BP
Location: Glasshouse Mountains

Please confirm if this date works for you so we can get a list together.

[XJ 98]

Good for me.

[bikemat]

no go for me, i'll be away then - guess i'll be coming home early if it stays on the 8th

[wendaloo]

Date: 8th Dec

Please confirm if this date works for you so we can get a list together.

I will be in WA picking up a sailor. **)

[silver_jk]

were easy lol

[Lux_095]

good for me ill be there

[55SIC]

How difficult will the trip be do you think ?

[Jimmyb]

Should be easy enough 55SIC, worse stuff will be mud if its been raining and normally there are other tracks around mud holes. We will have plenty of capable vehicles, and drivers with a LOT of experience so should be a great and safe arvo/night.

[bikemat]

just don't take the track i took last time - there was no track around so i got stuck and ended up with mud all through the car!!!! very crappy door seals!!

[andy_n]

That is why we send in a "Medium" tyred truck first ;)

[stoney2]

i will be there

[55SIC]

Thanks JimmyB, i only ask because i have only just recently purchased my KJ and don't want to dint or break anything just yet :) .

[kimamigo]

Not sure about work commitments yet but we'll try to be there

[RED097]

Ok Ok! We are in on this for sure. Love the night stuff. Put us down
RED097
Skippy BJ40

[RED097]

I will be in WA picking up a sailor. **)

Make sure you have s*x.........I mean say high from all us. Hope Dave sticks around long enough for us to go wheelen with him again.

[waynegler]

The 8th is good for us.

[silver_jk]

hey jimmy you bringing the FSJ out on this trip?

[zudoo]

Count me in on this one sounds like one not to miss!!

[RED097]

hey jimmy you bringing the FSJ out on this trip?

I would think so Silver, unless he's done some serious patch work to the XJ

[OIIIO]

Looks like we might be selling the TJ, :(
Have to miss this one but, we will be at the next in the new heep!:D
(fingers crossed)

take plenty of pics!

[Jimmyb]

Yeah bringing the FSJ hopefully with the 36's

[OIIIO]

Nah, not worried about breaking anything.
Just don't want to commit a place, then pull out (in case it sells).

Shouldn't have too much trouble finding 16.

[Jimmyb]

Looks like its filling quick, will add a xtra couple of places if people are over keen I guess. Shouldnt break anything on a trip like this, I think mine will be the biggest (not most capable though) and that said if you running a stocker just take the easy options.

[OIIIO]

[kyro]

put me down as a maybe will let you know closer to the date

[Remus]

Should be able to make the 8th. Put me down for a spot.

[Fat Chili]

Yes - subject to someone in Sydney ensuring early (hurry up..:-) ) arrival of my outstanding bits and pieces, so I can get them installed.

[Jimmyb]

So is that yes or no..... you can come without them

[ShadoZJ]

Count me in

[OIIIO]

Hey Jimmy,

Count us in!
Gonna stay with the TJ a bit longer:cool:

Wayne & Lisa

[andy_n]

Jimmy, I will ring Dave.

[Jimmyb]

No worries mate, thats what I was chasing ealier.

[Tiny]

i would love to come but it is just to far to travel maybe next time:-( :-( :-(

[Maxy]

Ok Im in, sounds good, will there be extreme winching/possible death trails!!!

[Jimmyb]

Yeah will be crazy options for those so inclined...

[kimamigo]

we would like to come if there's still room ?

[andy_n]

Jimmy and I will do a reccy probably a fortnight before to work out how hard the trip will be and length of time. We will then give more details for anyone that decides it maybe too easy or too hard for them.

[millhouse]

just saw this post, I'd be keen to help with the reccie and if anyone pulls out i'm in!!

[55SIC]

Jimmy and I will do a reccy probably a fortnight before to work out how hard the trip will be and length of time. We will then give more details for anyone that decides it maybe too easy or too hard for them.

I will be very interested in the results of the reccy as i am not into anything to tuff. ( i'm a little soft lol ):)

[kyro]

are you going to be coming up the the servo at Glasshouse before entering just working out a place for the coast guys to meet

[ian]

If all goes to plan I will be there!

[Jimmyb]

No entering after Caboolture mate.

[kj69]

can i look after the esky in back of fsj mate

[Jimmyb]

yeah mate that would be sweet!

[kyro]

looking forward to seeing the FSJ in action

[andy_n]

Organised the reccy this avro JB. There maybe a few that will pull out after the reccy, I will take photos of our cars going through any parts that there is no alternative route around to let people decide.

[kyro]

look forward to the pics to see which tracks you take

[stoney2]

went out to glasshouse today.Very dusty alot off the tracks very rutted should be a good run on the 8th with heaps of jeeps

[94limitedxj]

[Jimmyb]

I will pop you on the list 94 and see how you go.

Limited to 20 vehicles but prepared to add more if you are keen. Will be bringing complementary AJOR Stickers for those attending also Yippee Xmas!

May need to split into 2 groups at this rate.

[kyro]

December can be wet at night from afternoon storms so should make for no dust so we can hope for a small amount of rain just to make it interesting

[kyro]

we would like to come if there's still room ?

not being a stick in the mud but this will be alot harder then Mt Mee so do you have another jeep to bring so not to damage the WH

[kimamigo]

its either the WH or the ZG an both are stock heights...if ya don't think it's suitable for stock vehicles, probly best if i give it a miss an go surfin maybe........

[kyro]

I'd hate to see the WH in the shop again thats all.... the track we did at Mt Mee is like a highway compared to some of the tracks in Beerwah area

[kimamigo]

no problems.......i just thought from the posts so far that it was an easyish trail but if ya think it might damage my baby, i won't go

[andy_n]

I am contemplating doing the reccy in my Grand. It has a 2inch lift and 31 size MTR's on it. Although on the trip it would be the TJ, for more fun and it has all the lights.

[OIIIO]

its either the WH or the ZG an both are stock heights...if ya don't think it's suitable for stock vehicles, probly best if i give it a miss an go surfin maybe........

Sell the ZG and turn that WH into a weapon!
Love to hear that V8 tearin up the tracks!

DO IT:cool: DO IT:cool: DO IT:cool: DO IT:cool:

[kimamigo]

Thats a nice Jeep....might look at makin some front an rear plates similar to those ;) and mine definitely needs a lift kit
What?......SELL one of my vehicles?....Oh no ,....couldn't possibly do that......they stayin with me forever .:shock: ...the ZG is economical for the high miles i travel and still in good nick for her ks, (222), and just so comftable....the kids keep tryin to prise it off me....hehe....and the WH WILL be a weapon by the time i've finished it..aiming for around 320Kw..very limited with what they'll let me get away with while it's under warranty....it ain't even done 12 thou yet .... i have always been partial towards stock-looking vehicles that hide really good running gear if ya know what i mean...

[Jeeptheone]

kimamigo,

If you want we can do an early run to the Glasshouse as well so you can see the lay of the area and tackle a couple of the runs in full daylight with another WH? No hijack here as I am waiting till closer to the 8th to commit.

JTO

Sorry to hijack your hijack!

We haven't been to Glasshouse before, and the other half is a little nervous at tackeling it at night (not me though:rolleyes: )
If it's cool with you and you decide to do an early run up there, we would be keen to tag along for a look.

Sundays are the only time we get to play, so if that's works out for you let us know.

Cheers

[andy_n]

Here are some pics from our last trip up there. We weren't planning on doing these tracks. Mind you these AREN'T the tracks where at night time I lost my wedding ring, Jimmy burnout a battery winching because he was so stuck. Me drowning the TJ trying to go around him and pull him out then Nick having to put his Winch challenge TJ on the other side of a hill to get enough resistance to pull both of us out.

No need to hide plates, none of these rigs exist in these forms anymore.

[Jeeptheone]

Ahhh, The Glasshouse is such a cool area and has something for everyone. The Grand would make it through all but I would have taken the left route on pics 4 and 5, me chicken!!!

JTO

[Jimmyb]

The main reason I have made this a night trip is simple, the heat. The amount of times I have been there, hit mud and had overheating issues with vehicles due to mud baking into the radiator is stoopid. Mind you some of the vehicles I used to go there with, ie above photos shows why we had this issue haha.

but yes still planning a easy medium, and nighttime is great time to wheel.

The easy line around still needed Jimmy to winch out, and then double snatch to get Ian out.

[andy_n]

I am pretty sure, we don't plan on doing any mud holes that only allow the one line and don't have any ways around them.

[kimamigo]

oops..............i shouldn't have looked at the pics......i love gettin the WH dirty ....just not bent......now i AM nervous............lololol

[ian]

That was a long night that last trip, should of seen the doods face at the servo when we all pulled in coved in mud and started washing out radiators and airing up! ps I miss my old cj after seeing those pics again. cry

[Jeepology]

Sounds like a plan - not going to need a snorkel I hope....

[Pooks]

I'd love to if you don't mind a newbie coming along who may need some help!

[Jimmyb]

Shouldnt be a problem.

Wouldn't be too bad, planning on heading to Rainbow on Sunday, save going home!!!

[andy_n]

Our plan was to have the trip finished, i.e. back on the black top by about 12.30am. Not meant to be a hard trip, just a fun one to get everyone out meeting each other, and to make some of us slackers get back into it again.

[zudoo]

Count me in for this as well

[kyro]

I'm still ok at this stage

Is the FSJ on the road ready to go?

[andy_n]

I am getting worried about the wet, I don't like too much mud.

[waynegler]

There is usually a way around the mud for those like me that don't really like the mess or damage that mud causes, even though its fun at the time

[OIIIO]

Going to be an interesting night me thinks......

Cool, can't wait:D

[black xj]

[Goneforgood]

two different beads blown on a mud hole trying to get through. both reseated which was good. We need more pics!!

[Remus]

Thanks guys for a great trip last night and thanks to Roger and the guys for helping seat the tyre. Got home 2.30 after washing the truck and it still has a bit of wobble in the front end so probably mud inside the tyre.

[zudoo]

Hey JB, recon your no plate is under about a foot of mud, good luck finding it mate.
Thanks for a great night all, need to get out more often.

[Jimmyb]

Yeah someone put a number plate in Chooks Jeep but wasnt mine.

[RED097]

Ya top night, and to think I was going to chicken out and not go.

Hey JB, got some # plates you can barrow, what state would you like? I got everything under my back seat.

[ShadoZJ]

That second pic is trippie

[ShadoZJ]

Yeh stick in the way

[kyro]

yeah i recon the plate is in that deep water hole were we did the 2 tyres and brakeline JB

[andy_n]

The question is, is Jimmy happy with his purchase??

[Jimmyb]

Yeah happy enough, will be a bit of work until I am "really" happy but for now good. Considering it has a rear main leak and 3.07's in the diffs with 35's I think it went ok hey.

[OIIIO]

We got home about 2:00 am, up at 7:00am went up to Rainbow beach and just got home at 6:00pm.

We're stuffed!

Thanks to Jimmy and all the guys for last night, we had a blast.

Lisa loved it and hasn't stopped talking about some of the "trickier" sections.
Good to meet some new faces and check their rigs out.

Jimmy, if your gonna use your front bar as a plow, now wonder you lost your plate!! lol.. was good to hear that thing roaring into the darkness up ahead.

Only got a few pic's as our cammera is a POS.

When's the next run??

That's because I nicked your fuse when you wern't looking! :o

Nah, Had a look today. seems like relays dont like mud!

[Jeepology]

Maybe we should make some awards next time....
1. JB - Most Aggressive (and he drives like that too lol)
2. Silver - MVP

[Jimmyb]

Well I didnt get the grumpy admin dood for no reason. Appologises to anyone who I may have offended. Jus a lot of cooks and some disorganisation....but really a good trip, very happy indeed and in saying that happy to run another if people like in the future.

[andy_n]

I think a bit more planning overall on our part will help. If we could get out sooner and more often it will be good. I think cap the number of vehicles too. Didn't get to see you drive once :(

[zudoo]

Who's missing a toe hitch pin, washed the heap today and found it still on my car

[Jimmyb]

Ah yes, thats Aleishas, might have to grab that off ya haha. Where do you live Zudoo?

Andy....Yes a cap would be good, also hard without Recee and given Andy and I hadnt been there for, and I checked, 3.5 yrs I think we did ok huh

[Jimmyb]

From Mel....

Hey JB
If you give me the names and details of the Jeeps these guys drive I will do a story up for JAA Mag.

AUSJEEP XMAS RUN ect. Had some great laughs with alot of the guys last night and would love to follow it up with a story asap. While the brain cells are still high.
Mel

So if you could put maybe fav moment and name and vehicle colour she can get something together.

[silver_jk]

1. JB - Most Aggressive (and he drives like that too lol)
2. Silver - MVP

whats MVP stand for lol :mrgreen:

[XJ 98]

yeah, sorry for the pull out. Played cricket all day saturday in the steamy conditions and batted for hours and collapsed at the end of the day with heat stroke.

The missus is still not talking to me after sitting at home with all the food and drink ready for the trip.

Great to see you all had a good time.

[OIIIO]

whats MVP stand for lol :mrgreen:

Missing Vehicle Probably?

After going missing on your own recce, good thinking though. You must have known that we needed a winch vehicle in front, and took the long way around to get there!

But, after a couple of us turned around and followed you, I don't know how you took that pruutty JK through that "track" I reckon it was about 2 foot wide in some places! Must have been a bit scary by yerself!

[Jeeptheone]

whats MVP stand for lol :mrgreen:

Usually Most Valuable Player but also many other inventive titles laurie!

Looked like a great run and still angry I missed it. I will saddle up for the next run if the Jeep aint in for parts again!

Ha ha, I don't reckon anyone would have taken offense! It was a great night and some of the highlights were you and the FSJ bulldozing your way through that cutting, Chookie in the near stock TJ having a crack at everything, the "lowered" XJ going way beyond what we thought it could do, and the recovery of the FSJ by SilverJK.

It was really good to see that even though stuff can go wrong (gonna happen isn't it?) getting it fixed (brake line, tyres off rims etc...) wasn't a drama.

And I liked you being grumpy, at least we got to hear the Cherro's v8 redline!!!:D

[waynegler]

Wayne and Deb, Fawn XJ "Bambi"
Best momment was getting out the mud on our own without being towed, looked a bit dicey there for a while but Bambi stretched her legs and clawed her way out.
Thanks everyone we had a great time and it was great to meet some new Jeepers.

[Jimmyb]

We need more pics!!

[waynegler]

At the BP then airing down

[waynegler]

Thats all we got camera just kept flashing back so you cant really make anything out at night

[zudoo]

I'm at Maroochydore JB. Whats the easiest way to get it to you, could send it in the mail if Aleisha's realy missing it

[Jimmyb]

haha nah no real rush..... maybe mail one day.

[black xj]

[pezz]

jb.... that fsj looks at home in that swamp hole chassing the gators

[Jimmyb]

yeah she was pretty messy at that spot, and even creepier when other people started turning up haha.

[ian]

yeah she was pretty messy at that spot, and even creepier when other people started turning up haha.

ya when that pootrol turned up someone said move out of the spot lights incase they were snipers!!! we all laughed HAHA and then we all fell back into the shadows!!!

[OIIIO]

ya when that pootrol turned up someone said move out of the spot lights incase they were snipers!!! we all laughed HAHA and then we all fell back into the shadows!!!

That was funny as, maybe it was the "refreshments" or the looong waiting around, But when that Pootrol showed up on the otherside of the ridge, and the Wolf Creek comments came up, I've never seen a dozen supposedly adults start giggling like school kids....

It was kind of eerie with JB stuck in the black hole, UHF chatter in the background and total darkness all around.... then comes a set of lights over the hill.... not a word from whoever was driving... just the sound of a rifle bolt... well not really but it was wierd.

[silver_jk]

what was even funnier was dave went to school with those guys 9 + years ago lol and they remembered him :shock: hehe

[ian]

that was a m8 of mine he is going to burn me a disc and i will get a copy to jb.I think at last count there was over 125 pics
