MattS 04-17-2002, 08:55 AM I might know a few of them. We are planning a trip to tuttle creek this weekend if you want to show up. There will be people there from Friday the 19th-21st. I don't know for sure if I can go with work yet but I will be there in a blue XJ on Saturday if I get to go. My toyota is not done yet. Should be about 20 rigs show up. Some from North Dakota.

Nice wagon. Glad to see others runnin Willys wagons. I'm currently building my wagon. Hope to have it on the road by the end of the summer. What springs are you running? How do you like the revolver shackles? After I have the drivetrain swapped in if I have any money left I will be lookin into new springs. You can see pictures of my rig before I bought it last June.

dude there is no way you will be able to run a doubler in that thing behind 700r4, there just aint any room, well if ya chop the rear and extend it out a bit.........but seriously your rear dshaft would be like 4in long! This is my dads rig, it has old school rancho cj springs under it, for the time bein he wants to build a 4link in the rear, but it is goin to get 2.5 in springs in the rear first out of a cherokee (cause I have a set, and it needs softer chit in the rear) we are always under that fucker! I have talked to a bunch of the guys we ran around with that live there, and if all the people that say they are goin go, this weekend should be a real fun weekend to be there, unfortunatly I am not goin to make it I have to finish my blazer and get it on the road this weekend! Have fun guys!!!!
