Clayton Christmas Carnage '16

[aggie4life]

Is the forum still set up so that someone has to approve members before they can post? I recall that I had to bug someone at the meetings (a few times) to make my account able to post. I don't know if that is still the case, but if you're pushing the forum, you might check it out.

It's been changed, once you click link in email after you sign up you have posting rights. And the new webmaster knows to looks for anyone that hasn't done email verification.

After last nights meeting, I've got 20 current members who are planning on making it up there this year. We are pushing the forum pretty hard, so hopefully we will start to see activity pick up a bit with the current members and they will chime in on their plans. Out of the 20, majority will be passengers but we hope to have at least 5 rigs coming with us (they have two months to break/get fixed, so we'll see. Y'all know how that goes). We also pitched a t-shirt design contest at the meeting, alum are welcome to join in on the contest as well - just post your design on this thread.

Good to hear, I would also like to formally submit my entry for the t-shirt design contest, a picture of my entry is below:

Myself, The Chief, Leaving from College Station with the jeep in tow (plan on breaking... a lot), passengers will be Collin, Devon and Sid. Camping in the jeep or a tent with a heater... No money for the hotel room, its all going into the jeep!

[Sharpe]

If you're camping, just be aware it can get cold as fukk. I'm a thin skinned ***** when it comes to cold weather, and people have camped there, but in years past it's gotten down into the teens and we got sleet one year.

[CamperSpecial67]

thats what im expecting, hence having the space heater. thinking i might run a power outlet set up with an inverter so i can plug in one or two of them up to stay nice and toasty. in theory anyways.. but thanks for the heads up!

I will be making the trip out to Clayton this year. It is my second year in the club and I will be bring my Jeep. The plan is for my dad and me to trailer it up there and camp.

I only have a few more things on the to do list before Clayton.

-Add aussie locker up front
-oil pan skid
-Find some spare axle shafts (Dana 30)

[Shaggy]

I have some spare TJ 30 shafts I'll bring for anyone that needs them. I don't anymore.

This might be a damn good year! I need to get the scout down to dallas and start going over my very short list of things to do. mainly brakes, some small wiring issues, and I need to get a new wheel. Interested to see how the gas half ton hauls the scout.

[Shaggy]

Just talked to my brother Jason. He is likely coming too. Finally put a new engine in his TJ.

[aggie4life]

Just want to mention that I still have an Open trailer. Don't want to take my 48 2A to Clayton. I have a 16th utility trailer that i can use. Its 76 inches wide inside the rails. I got permission from my old man to use his 16 Chevy 3500 DRW High Country for the Trip. Truck is Located in Houston, so if anyone needs a rig hauled I can help. I just ask for Shotgun on the trail.

Trailer spot has been claimed

I have some spare TJ 30 shafts I'll bring for anyone that needs them. I don't anymore.

Lots of carnage at Hidden Falls this past weekend across the group. Ended up snapping my TJ 35 driver side shaft. As much as I would love to upgrade to a 44, it's not in the budget. If you (or anyone else in the thread) happen to know of a spare 35 shaft laying around and wouldn't mind bringing it to clayton, please let me know. (Disclaimer: I'm not planning on wheeling in clayton, just spectating)

[AggieTJ2007]
