You can borrow it if you would like to.
That would be cool - thanks.

My wife's not feeling well (so no "trail mom" this time), but a buddy of mine is going to ride along with me. We're meeting at my place at 9, grabbing food on the road, and should be up to Friendly's around 10... just give us a 15 delay in case we hit some unexpected traffic or whatever.

Can't wait - see you guys tomorrow!

My wife is out... baby is sick. My 4 year old is fighting off some stuff too... but really wants to come with. I would bring her, but the wife said no. We'll see in the AM who wins. (4year old girl Vs. Wife) I'm putting $10 on the wife giving in. My friend( one of the kids God Fathers)(Rob... he came with me to the last one of these in JULY) and my nephew are coming with me. I should be there by 9:30/ 10 latest. But, a couple of you have my number in case I'm running late. I'll have my CB on 19 till I get there. Although it seems like most of you won't be able to hear me on that till I get there

Question... I know it's last minute... .but... does anyone have a battery operated Sawsall??????? Mine bit it... I'm not sure I'll need it... but a sawsall and a metal blade would be awsome just in case we need to hack this thing up anymore. I haven't had a chance to disco the front yet to check clearances.

Thanks allot everyone, had one hell of a time cant wait till the next run. im working on getting the pics up now im going to start a thread under trails and tails called Westfield MA 11/30/08

also real quick, for what ever reason my steering wheel was un-centered after we were off the trail and back on the road. i let it go because it wasn't that bad and the ESP BAS and skidding light did not come on, later on about 5 min before the Ludlow rest stop on the pike the ESP BAS light and the skidding light both came on, if i press my esp button the skidding light goes away but the ESP BAS stays on, i pulled off into the parking lot there and re centered the stering wheel but the light keeps coming on when i start the jeep. any ideas?? last time this happened it went away after i fixed my stering wheel.



Heres the link to the pic thread...

I had to flash my computer to get rid of it. I have a scan tool.. if your in the area. Check your steering linkages (drag link and such) I bent mine my last trip out.

I've bent mine a few times over. It's no big deal. Just re-adjust accordingly. It's good to have some measurements before wheeling just in case you bend it you can re-set it without an alignment. If you look at some of the pics of the front of my jeep from today.. you can see mine bent in about 3 or 4 places.

You don't by any chance have one of the early one's that lets you flash more than one Jeep do you. I have a small speedo issue. It says I'm going 60 when I'm going 69-70.
