Shoe Creek 21Dec03

[Shawn]

Many thanks to Ben for leading another trip to Shoe Creek. Unfortunately I did not have a camera, but hopefully some of the guys that did will add some pictures. It was a shame we all got such a late start. Luckily we didn’t have any problems out on the trail. There was an icy hill that gave some folks a hard time. The ride back was a different story. It also sounds like I have been labeled the bad luck charm. I had nothing to do with that transmission. I can only be responsible for my own trannys. I am happy that it wasn’t me, because I have had too many tranny problems in the last year to deal with another. Well, thanks to everyone who came out. And thanks to Josh for talking me into going.

Thanks to Shawn "the cursed tranny wrecker" for coming along and going on what i would like to call puckerfactor hill. (the one where everyone falls down on the ice). and my friend chuck with an 84 cj7/amc360/t5/300 lost his tranny. but fortunately it was on the highway. about 1 mile away from where shawn lost his. coincedence? wanted: t5 tranny

[XJjosh]

[nila]

looks like you guys had a blast... really do wish we could of made it but like i said before, my son came in friday and i've been playing *chaffuer* all weekend... some of the areas ya'll went through looked a lil bit much for my lil ole tj but hoping that with ya'lls help, it'll make it when we can make a run.... cant wait to take her out in the snow and *play*.... ;D

AND we missed you too, NOT to worry, we had a stocker with us and a few new jeep drivers as well, there are bypasses to all the major obstacles so DON'T fret about it, COME ON OUT the next time BEN

[YJ Ken]

Everything we did had a bypass. Except the 100' section of ice. We got everybody thru it with no problems. Well, there are a few that have sore tushes now. ;D

Hey Josh, you buddy might look at a few other options other than another T-5. It won't hold up to a 360, or even a strong 258. 435 or 4500 with adapters would eventually be cheaper than several T-5 change-outs.(Tow bills as well.) Just a thought. Kudos for sticking with the AMC motor.

[bensredyj]

Speaking of Sore tushes, How has the worst or most Color back there ? HAHAH BEN
