Z-28 Wrangler in Hayward

TELL ME WHAT U THINK PEOPLE
Well i finaly got my Dad to trade me his Jeep that we built a few years back had to trade him my 2000 Z-28 for it but its worth it. as it sits right now its a CJ-7 frame Wrangler Body D44 Rear with 4:10s and a powerlocker HP reinforced D30 front with 4:10s and a powerlocker with Chevy high steer conversion on 33X12.5X15's with rock crawler rims. LT-1 Motor out of a 95 Z-28 with a 6:1 NV4500 and a 4.3:1 Atlus 2 Ramsy 9000p winch coustom front and rear bumpers and rocker gaurds things been through the rubicon through Soup Bowl through All the winch hills in Sierra Treck and both little and big sluce ran Drag on Sierra treck for ohh about 4 years strait lol. been stuck maybe 2 times in its entire life winched onceand we take the hardest lines. been through panamint though jonson valley the pecheko loup at clear creak, hamerhead if you can name the trail its been through it barley ever gets stuck. however you can be damn sure its gona have a HP D44 front with coil spings from a TJ and a dynatrack 60 rear with waggy springs but thats all im gona do to it cause its already pretty much set up.

heres some pics i have on the laptop i have alot more at home though

a few tech things for ya as well

ok tech we built it in the garage in 3 months it has a 350 LT-1 out of a Z-28 camaro with Cams head work and headers oh and a Edlebrock 24 point fuel rail. it has a NV4500 out of a chevy so its 6:1 granny low 1st the transfer is an Atlus 2 4.3 low axles are kinda lame right now D30 front D44 rear 4:10s power lockers 31 spline front shafts and 31 spline rear front has chevy hi steer conversion and warn hubs. the frame we welded tabs to fit the wrangler body on the CJ-7 frame but it managed to work 2" rear springs up front and wrangler springs in the rear 2 inch offset rock crawler rims with 33X12.50s for now 100w linear in it with the cobra cb with side band and all the good stuff (dads toy lol) still has carpet too lol

I pass by that jeep every day in hayward, if I were you I would pull the tow bar off the front if you plan on leaving that thing parked where it is, or at least pull it into the building,

well the best thing about where its parked at is 1" its been parked there for like 4 years now 2: the security for the Card Club keeps an eye on that parking lot for my dad 3: the ones that Know enough to want to steal it know better because they know my dad and 4: even if someone did wana steal it they couldnt get the tires unlocked, cant hotwire it cause it has the Chevy VATS2 Ignition system, and its left in 1st gear and 4 low when its parked so if they tryed to tow it anyware there fucked. but thats all besides the poin cause its gona get parked at my house in Carson or my house in Tracy. lol

It's a nice little Jeep

There IS something wrong with "having a little fun at water crossings". One issue alone that has the potential to shut down a trail is water quality! Everytime we drive through a water crossing, we kick up silt that eventually get's into the watershed and this causes water quality problems. The more you "play" in the water, the more silt you stir up. This is the reason most of us don't do it. Not because of "cracked heads and headers"

I'm glad you took our comments to heart. Water quality is a HUGE issue and the more educated we all become the better chance we'll have to keep our trails open.

Hope to see you on the trail this year

It's easy to get defensive around here. Just grow a thick skin and learn to laugh it off

I tend to stay away from organized runs, just too many folks on the trail. Look for me on the 'Con in a Silver YJ w/purple flames on 42's

Happy Trails!

well as far as the actual run is conserned it isnt too busy cause the last few years have been rained out. so this year probubly wont be to busy. but the local club goes up the day before to run the harder trails. and theres only a few of em. so if you show up to camp the day before im sure they wont mind you tagin long. Clear Creak isnt the hardest wheeling but it is alot of fun.

Nice jeep.

Molina has moved to April this year to hopefully be a little less water/rain.

I was there last weekend, and it rained all day on Sunday for Quick Silver.
Ugly all over the place.

i love clear creak when it rains. ran the loop last year in the snow and loved it. i got stuck on the V but then almost everyone in our group did. and i had to get winched one another part cause i couldnt get tracktion on a few wet rocks and we where in a hury to get off the trail before it got worse so we winched me rather than waitin for me to try to get over it. but then again my XJ was open fron with only a posi in the rear 3.5 inch lift and 33's so i think i did realy good considering people with full lockers and 35's and alot better flex than me got stuck in the same places i did so i felt good lol. i hope to see yall there next month im planin on goin. ill probubly be in the Wanderin whelers Campground
