Nice jeep, looks like that is at the bus Stop at the Cliffs. I live in East Moline, we need to hook up one of these days and you should join us in one of our trips to the Cliffs.

And Champion!, get that work project done so you can get your ass back here and go wheelin!

I am working on it. i may not be doing the project this weekend, i dont have all the info i need.

Might have another guy to join us. He is working on his rig at the shop here at work. Going to be a truggy. It is a Sonoma, looks like 350/350 combo. Has 14bolt rear and 60 front. Has soa front and 4 link coil rear. Been trying to catch up with him, but he is never around when I am. I left him a note to call me though

Yep, that's the place...

Thanks for the info guys.

I said I'd tell a little more about myself. I grew up in the QCA, but just moved back here about a year ago after a long stint in the military.

I drive a 1997 Chevy that I've converted to D60 front and 14FF rear. It's locked and sits 38s. I've been to the Cliffs once since I've been back and have done some wheeling on a guy's property near Galesburg. Definitely looking for more places to have fun and stuff more local. Always looking for people to hang with.

If you're talking about the hobby shop on the Arsenal his name is Andy Bindewald. I met him up there a few days ago. I have e-mail and phone if you need it. Front is a 44, not a 60. A few design items I hope to chat with him about.

My pile of junk... Its a mix of wrangler and cj-10a that used to have a 304 and tf999 in it. Currently undecided on drivetrain other than the certainty that the tranny will be a manual.

Really????

If its open to all makes/models, why is it called QC JEEPERS?

Shouldnt it be QC4x4 or QCOR (quad city off roaders)

:flipoff2:

Don't get me started foo! :mr-t:

:laughing: :flipoff2:

I would be interested in the QCjeepers thing but the owner of the Cliffs wont let me play there, my tires are too big...

On the upside, I did my shake down run today. Other than a couple minor issues, everything worked great.

fkr, I imagine a lot of our time will be spent at the Cliffs until someday down the road we manage to procure our own land. In the meantime, we'll go wherever we can find. I limited myself to 40" tires so the Cliffs wouldn't shut me out.

Don't get me started foo! :mr-t:

Just messin with ya. :D

I have a buddy with a crew cab and frame he's looking to get rid of. Not sure what else he has for it, but the cab and frame are both in really good shape. PM me if you're interested and I'll give you his contact info.
