New Thread. Let pick a time/date for Naches '07 so we can all set our schedules (and our rebuilds :flipoff2: )


I liked the the mid/early September of last year. I think it worked out perfect weather, crowd and timing wise. I'd be down for it this year.



Lets just not make it cross with anyone elses Con trip :D




:beer: :spam: :blender: :beer:

Edit bump :flipoff2:

I'm down for anything after Labor Day...

I like the idea of not having it the same time as the 'con trip. Kind of iffy on me being done by that tme this year anyway, but if it was timed right, I'd consider taking a long vacation again and possibly hitting both the 'con and Naches since I have to drive half way across the country to get to either one. Would make the trip more worth while for me to make it a combo.

Game.:smokin:

Sept 15-16 would be consistent with last year, gives a weekend after labor day to recoup and keeps it in the cool but not quite rain.


What's con trip scheduled for this year?

sep 7,8,9

sep 7,8,9
Is that the Con, or your suggestion for Naches?

Last I heard the guys are planning on sep 7, 8, 9 for the rubicon trip.

If those are the dates then.......I'm in!

Its gonna be tough getting all that vacation time off work. The boss is gonna be pissed:flipoff2:

Like I mentioned on the phone Last night that weekend seems logical to me Rusty...

It gives everyone a weekend to recover from any Labor day activities...

I am in:smokin:

well Cool. Unless anyone comes up with a GOOD reason to change them. As of now, Pirate 4x4 IH Naches 2007 is the weekend of September 15 & 16th.

I'd like, and if Ben is willing to lead (since he knows the are best), to do the 'big' Kaner or whatever it is loop on Saturday. IIRC its a long trip and will take most of the day so we'll need to get our asses out of bed and on the trail early(er than normal). Then probably hit the rocks Sunday morning. If we really want to be proactive (and take off some work) we could even try to get there Friday and so some evening wheeling.

Harvester of Sorrow is planning on leading this year. If I go, I will probably be late, so I'll just catch up.

Ummm dood...that is what happened last year...

IH Naches 2007 is the weekend of September 15 & 16th.


I'm officially in --- I plan to bring everything minus the kitchen sink this year. Wheel my junk 'til it blows and put it on the trailer and go home happy... Unlike last year were I wheeled 'til it blew and then had to drive it 200 miles home angry.

For those of you who forgot what last year was like...:smokin:

Let's see...

1. Fix fucked up bearing/drive hub/rotor (haven't torn into it yet)
2. Finish fuel injection...
3. Buy "trail spare" shaft set for the front (again)
4. Figure out tow rig situation...:shaking:
5. Modify Scout to fit eventual tow rig situation...:shaking:
6. During previous modifications build traction bar.
7. Install new (used but new to me) rear leaf packs
8. Put new stickers on rig from IHSTO and TRACTRACTOR when they get here...:shaking:

The above list is not in order...nor will it aaaaallllll get completed...

ooooooo

tow pig (more carnage), boobies (always good) and MEAT!!!



:beer: :blender:.... maybe I need to pack the in-laws travel-trailer up :D:D

I should be able to go this year, and minus the tow-pig, bring boobies:grinpimp: and meat... and definitely :beer:

Not sure what by giant truck could go on, but I had fun the last time I went :)

Yes, Ben, the throttle fix is still going strong :flipoff2:

YOU andME...

Let's see...
<<CHOP>>

The above list is not in order...nor will it aaaaallllll get completed...


hmmm, mine's easy...


1. Build new truck :rolleyes:
2. Have it done in time :rolleyes:
3. Figure out how to pay for 1 & 2 :rolleyes:
4. Barring that wheel same old boring junk.
5. If 4, put in new Detroit for front :mr-t:
6. If 5, get [some] spare front shafts :eek:
7. If 4, get front cage kit and instaul :eek:
8. If non of the above, take race rig and beat the tar out of it in prep to rebuild it :grinpimp:

JD, bring Terror-all, you should still be able to have fun. And bring the new Mrs if she's willing and brave enough :D

I am bringing the new Mrs (note I said boobies).... She is willing, and brave enough for sure.:grinpimp: Will bring the old beast, and if things don't look like the old girl can handle it, we will just ride with rigs superior to ours. :D

Anybody want to wheel on Friday the 14th? I'm thinking I might go up early and hammer down on a few trails Fri. afternoon. If you're interested you'll need to be fast to keep up (sorry HoS) :flipoff2:

I'm out. Adopted family get together same weekend. At least I still got the Con :flipoff2:

OW! that hurts! If we go at all we'll be up there early to mid day Friday as well. Too far away for me to promise anything.
My list;
1. waiting eagerly for my STAK case
2. rebuld 727
3. install tranny & t-case
4. beadlocks for new Iroks
5. install 2nd tranny cooler

Pretty much in that order:(

well looks like something i need to do sometime soon... maybe once i get my shit done with all my major engine and suspension mods... that may take awhile:flipoff2: no hopefully i got my shit all back together by this time next year... time and money will tell:flipoff2::shaking:

Can i bring my scout?:D

Well, no STAK guy was going to take WAY to long. It's a good story ask me by the campfire. So now I'm hunting for my dual cases parts, any dodge 203s or 205s laying around?

One month ladies...

So far still planning on towing, having a girl with me...and eating steak...:D

Well I got her put together, not sure I will be able to keep up with open axles ridin on 31's. Should be able tp have 33/35's but lockers may be pushing the wallet by sept. Havent been to Naches yet lookin forward to it.

Scout our PU??

If its a Scout, open and 31's is doable, but you will struggle. With 33's or 35's you can make up a little for the openness.

Weld the rear and run with it.


If this is a PU.... 31's would be a detrimate, 33's or 35's better but still on the big side for the trails. Probably doable, but I do remember one spot last year that was 75" wide.... and that was it. The wider axle rigs were able to walk up one tree or squeeze the rubber through, but if the body was too wide you were stuck.


And we don't cut trees. Drive up them, rub them yes. Cut: No.



Come anyway and ride shotgun!

Hmmm.... this place doesn't sound too friendly to my full-width swap with a projected width of around 86" to the outside of the rubber.

Being wide at the tires is OK, being wide or long in the body is bad. Binder's Aristocrat used to be like 125" wide at the tires and he got through ok.

Can i bring my scout?:D

Sure, heck you can bring your Yugo if you want. Every kind of rig is welcome.

My Scout is a solid 83.5" wide at the tires and I made it no problem... (Other than almost tipping over in the flats and rolling away on the super steep stuff and not running and breaking an axle... and... and....)

Winter prep at the house and two job changes in the last 6 months have really taken my work time, I'm predicting I'm out. However since I just bought a car trailer this weekend I may still make it. Not giving up but its not lookin good. But if I get it done this will be the shakedown run :shaking:. We'll see

Well I'm out for sure. Just found out last week that the wife and I are relocating to Salt Lake City for work and need to be there and working Sept. 4th. So, we're selling everything, tow rig, spare truck and house in a hurry! Keeping just her Tahoe, Scout and trailer and I'll buy a better tow rig down there once we sell the house. of course I'll be watching for some vids. of the trip.

Let us know when your back up in the area (if ever) and wheel go out and be stupid :rasta:



:beer: to ya, good luck!

Who's officially in?

I'll be there!:grinpimp:

Are you bringing rock scout or the diesel?

I am in. May not be there Friday. Will be there Saturday and Sunday.

I am in...

Girlfriend will be coming with me...she was able to get the time off.

We will be coming up Friday afternoon...around 7:00'ish.

I have two friends that will be bringing their rigs up (one from Tacoma the other from Yakima).

Looking very forward to this...

In....

I'm in if you guys will allow a Jeep along. :laughing:

Rock Scout most likely, but if something falls through with a tow rig the diesel is always good to go.

i realize this may be an odd question. but there are many trails up there. where are you guys gonna be. I havent been up that way in a while.

I don't know, thats going to be up to the trail boss. Ben??, HOS?? Who's it going to be. I have no problem leading people around, but since I don't know the trails up there worth a damn, I'm probably not the best choice :D



Come one, come all. Atleast stay for the Beer and Steaks!!

Still planning on being there.... Terrorall made some funny axle noises on the last trip over the Santiam pass though.

D60 before Naches?.....:eek:

I had pm'd Hos about flying out for the weekend, then work got in the way, and now it looks like work will be out of the way. I just did some airfare shopping and it looks like if I decide soon I may get a decent airfare, Anyone have a seat avalible for the weekend? Right now Im thinking about flying out thurs and leaving on Monday. Id be getting a room for thurs and sunday nights.

I'll have a seat.... till I break something :D

I should have a seat also...Just come on out, someone will give ya a ride.:smokin:

Make that three open seats, I haven't had anyone take me up on mine yet. However riding with Rusty or Binder will be much more :grinpimp: of a ride!!

Airfares went up about 40 bucks since last night:eek: I don't know jack about Seattle. Give me a quick rundown on the best logistics to make it work. I figure its easiest on whoever gets stuck with me if I am fresh and ready to go on Fri am.....but where?

Ive been doing my searching on Orbitz and the best round trip with direct flights is $397 with taxes. Any other recommendations?

Try Expedia... might have cheaper rates... might not.

Ok, so if you don't know what trails you're running do you at least know where your camp is going to be? I may be in the area and would at least like to have an idea where you guy's might be found.

Well I just purchased my second Scout. This one has had some work already done to it. Dont really know the quality of the work or if it will hold up on the trails. I would love to go but would really need a way to get the damn thing back if I broke out there. If someone has a spot on their trailer they would like to rent out for.... idk, maybe lots of beer and steak, since that seems to be a crowd favorite. Ill even bring some boobies along with me. Not sure if they will make a public appearance or not, but the beer should help with that some. Im in Puyallup. Let me know. Thanks guys.

If you feel its trail worthy, then by all rights come a long!! The more the merrier.

Give it a once over, go wheeling next weekend local(er) to ya to give it a test then grab your camping gear and come along. Can't be any worse than the hack-job I'm bringing :D

Ok, so if you don't know what trails you're running do you at least know where your camp is going to be? I may be in the area and would at least like to have an idea where you guy's might be found.

Milk Pond Road?? There are maps and such from last years trip. Its not too hard to find but I always seem to turn up the wrong one first anyway (for some reason I always turn earlier than I should... :shaking: ). First one up (usually HOS or BenW) usually leaves some sort of "IH" on the sign posts... paper plates are the norm.

Go up Milk Pond Road for about 1-2 miles and it will fork at the the 'pond'. Go right and the camp sight we typically use will be a couple hundred yards on your right (if you miss the first entrance, just keep going, the 'road' through the camp site y's back in just a little farther).

Looks like some rain would be good for the dust.

Hey guys airfares started creeping up again:( but this morning at 4am before I left for work orbitz had a round trip for 307 including taxes, so I bit the bullet:grinpimp:. My flight arrives thurs around 11am, and I fly out Monday at around 330pm. Thanks for the pm's guys, hopefully I can hook up with binder somewhere convenient to him on Fri am. I didn't book a room for thurs, or sun, so im open to suggestions on hotels that are cheap, easy to get to from the airport, and convenient to be picked up at.

It looks like I am gonna be MIA this year -- Due to trying to buy a new house - taking an expensive vacation to New Mexico - tearing apart my Scout at the last minute and not getting it back together -- and a growing list of other terrible excuses... I'm out.

Have fun and be safe - I only want to read about good times on Monday the 17th...

Great to hear Helmer! I don't know the hotels by the airport but there are a bunch of them. Just try to get one on the main road or close to it so I can get there with the trailer. One way or the other we'll make it work.:smokin:

So how "out" are you? It isn't just the truck is it?

No - the truck would be easiest thing to take care of :)

Well that sucks!

I'll still be there, but it's up in the air as to what I'll be driving. We pulled the camper off Dad's truck right before he left for his Cruise. Found it had a leaking rear wheel cyinder, so that has to be fixed before I tow up to Naches. If for some reason it dosen't, the diesel is coming!

My Dodge had the same problem a while back -- OUCH - kind of pricey. :mad3: Ruined a pretty good set of shoes.

Easy enough fix though :D

80 deg. all week ,it looks good maybe a sprinkle on saturday.

Directions to camp

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=140183&stc=1

Basically come through the town of Naches...Stay straight when you get to the Highway 12/410 *Y*. That will put you on 410...

Drive on 410 till you get to WHISTLING JACKS (a resort and Shell gas station). About 2-3'ish miles past Whistling Jacks you take a right on to MILK CREEK RD or FS1708. From there you just follow the map.

When you get to the "pond" you take the right fork in the road. The camp site is NOT the one on the corner but a little down and on the right.


If you come over 410 from the WEST, FS1708 is before Whistlin Jacks.

Another map, click on any of the push pins and zoom to street level. http://local.live.com/?v=2&sp=aN.rtpts74xbdfw_Cliffdell&#37;252c%2520Yakima%252c% 2520Washington%252c%2520United%2520States___~aN.rt xr4f4xbpg9_Camp___~aN.rtxv884xbbrf_Outhouse___~aN. rty0jc4xbdbz_Milk%2520Pond___

Since I posted the list, my attendance is implied. :flipoff2:

I am in, just worked the details out with my boss today. Gonna cut it close with the details of my scout, still trying to throw some 33's on. You all prefer a certain CB channel?

I have some bad news….

I am out...:(

I am not happy about having to make a responsible decision…I usually say FUCK IT and throw caution to the proverbial wind…but I just can’t this time.

My finances, or commissions, that I was “hoping” would come through by the end of August never came…as they haven’t all summer. Such is the life of having a pretty fixed income ($$$ child support) supplemented with commissions. Commissions are what I play with…

The girlfriend is upset about not going…so much so that she offered to lend me money to get a tow rig this month…But I just can’t do that. It seems that every time I make a rushed decision, it ends up costing me more on the backside. I have been rushing to try and make it, put the rig together, etc...and it is just not coming together.

I hope you fuckers have a good time…Please believe me when I say that I am pretty bummed about not going. Those of you that know me know this...

:(

Chiscouter…I am a puss.

I have been regretting this as well, but going on 4 months with no work, and nothing even close to being considered an interview, financially I just can't do it. I am pissed I had to make this choice, honestly Naches is something I look forward to all year. I tried everyway I could to make it work, but things like rent and food keep getting in the way. Anyway I'll see ya all next year, have a safe and fun weekend.

You guys are going to miss out!.....
Talked to Helmer this afternoon. We will be there probably around 1PM or 2PM fri.:smokin:
When are the rest of you going to get there?

Damn, I'm disappointed you guys can't make it, you'll be missed.

Binder - I'm planning to be there around that time on Friday too, but you know me, its more likely I"ll be late.

say i just realized my nw trail pass was up in aug. Do I need to get a new one?

Not needed up there as far as I know.

say i just realized my nw trail pass was up in aug. Do I need to get a new one?

Do you have liscence tabs?

...Out...

...Out...


Hmm, sounds like it going to be Rick, Me, Ben and Jay. With Helmer coming in to ride passenger.

Sounds like Beast is trying to be there (what is your real name, we can't just all you Beast all weekend :D), IHC-6/John, you and the Ms. still coming?



Kind of a bummer to see it trim down so quickly, but I understand. Time/Projects and a hash to get the truck together (happens every year, always do a major change right before :rolleyes: ) makes me reconsider.... but this may be my only wheeling this year, so.....



Hmm, Ben/Jay, want to just got to Reider for the day instead :D

Is there wheelin' there?:D:p:D

I have so many irons in the fire right now it's not even funny, but like Mark, it may be my only wheelin' this year. :eek:

Guys...

I appreciate the offers for the open seats...It means a lot to me that you would offer them.

Helmer is mine Sunday evening for dinner and or drinks when he gets back. He and I spoke yesterday and I gave him a nice list of places to stay within his budget that are along International BLVD.

He is super pumped to be just able to just sit in a 4x4 right now and go along for the ride...

I know you guys will show him a good time...

Mark

I have so many irons in the fire right now it's not even funny, but like Mark, it may be my only wheelin' this year. :eek:

I know the feeling. :eek:


Is there wheelin' there?:D:p:D

I think :rasta:

Longer drive for you guys, shorter drive for me and Rick and just make it a day run, no camping....



Just a thought. I love Naches, but with just the 4 of us (maybe 5) now, maybe try a Naches run again a little later.


But I'm up for whatever, just means a mad pack and load tonight and tomorrow morning (I did however pull the truck out of the garage last night now with its new gears, fuel system and detroit in the front!!


BTW, fully locked, SUA, loose rocks/boulders, no ambient light (i.e. night wheeling) and dry soil = highlift.... a couple of times :D.


atleast the truck ran great :D

I'm still going to Naches.

Any news of fire danger/ camp fires allowed?

Fire danger is high. Campfires are banned. I have one of these propane convection heaters I'm thinking about bringing to use as the "campfire", should be legal since it is contained and can be turned off with a knob.

Im sitting in the airport recovering from sensory overload. I had an absolute blast. A big thanks to Binder for hauling my ass around and babysitting me all weekend. Riding with him on trails and rocks (except for a few brief moments:D ) was like being chauffered in a limo down the highway. The combo of him shifting all those levers, threading needles that a jeep couldn't get through in one pass , and the competency of his rig made everything seem easy. Ben was a great trail leader, provided great trails, breathtaking views, and allowed me to watch a jeep do three point turns where a scout slipped right through:D. It was great meeting everyone and I really appreciate the hospitality as I felt right at home. Hopefully I can get out there with my rig sometime and show you guys how its really done:laughing:

Thanks to all for an awesome weekend:beer::beer::beer:

And HOS, ............:shaking:

Helmer, you're welcome any time. It was a plesure to have you along with us this past weekend. I hope you enjoyed your stay.:smokin:
