Here's the up side... all money that is raised that evening during our time frame that we are there the manager has agreed to donate 10% of earnings that evening to xjtalk so that means we get MORE stickers and ... more... other stuff probably...?

As many of you know I have been working towards having a ustream show that features videos from you guys. I was going to take advantage of our next meet and greet to interview some (or all) of you that attend the next meet. As time and light permit. I understand that some of you may not prefer to be on camera, which isn't a problem I understand. I have a great face for radio myself. But if you would like to show off your Jeep and talk about the modifications, brands used and even an interesting Jeep story that would be great.

I'll have something for you to fill out so I can keep your name, xjtalk name, and jeep information together.

If you're not familiar with ustream.tv it is basically a TV broadcast type thing that anyone with 1/2 a brain and a camera can use. Once broadcast the show will be available to "re-watch" anytime so even if you miss the broadcast you can watch it later, or share it with your friends or even people on other Jeep websites.

I won't be broadcasting from the Sonic, only recording audio/video for later broadcast.

Before you start getting nervous, I am not one to pressure anyone, so if you don't want to participate no problem. Just come out and have fun.

well we go to oad the car and hit the road and we get a call from dad saying to hold on and wait for the results of the CT scan to come back....two hours later My sister-in-law calls me and says it's the beginning stages of Pneumonia and she is heading home in an hour or two with some awesome medications...
That being said I will be there tomorrow night pending the status of the pneumonia and hope it doesnt turn worse, There are people in young ages of mid 40's who have gotten pneumonia and have died from it so keep fingers crossed!

So on the way home I decided to snap a pic with my new camera at about 65MPH just to see how fast the shutter speed is
Here is how fast it is
http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo167/seivey/Meet%20N%20Greets/IMG_5421.jpg
HOLY CRAP I can see the ribs in the street
Ramp from beltway 8 to I-10
http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo167/seivey/Meet%20N%20Greets/IMG_5423.jpg

Once again testing shutter speed heading down that HUGE ramp at about 70 MPH and look i look like Im sitting still

http://i372.photobucket.com/albums/oo167/seivey/Meet%20N%20Greets/IMG_5427.jpg
But when I looked at it again this morning it all matched up again... wonder if the temp in the house where they were stored had an effect on the dirt.... any ideas???

..:turd:..

I have to buy some audio equipment before I can do the show. The sound level is just too low, plus I want to be able to tie the phone into the computer audio for interviews.

I would have waited on the interviews, but since the meet was now I thought I better get it while I could.

Let me think about it. I might be able to do a show without the audio. We could use the text chat function. I still have to edit the video though.

BTW, the interviews turned out much better than I expected. Everyone interviewed did a great job!

Mudderoy
06-07-2010, 09:30 AM
You guys missed a fun one. I think there were 5 of us there until 11pm! I didn't take a lot of pictures, since I was doing video. Thank you to Scott for posting the ones he took.

So the next one will be in July, but instead of it being the first Saturday of the month we may move it so it won't land on July 3rd.

Maybe the week prior?

lol I was thinking there was going to be three of us both times, so I was happy with the turn out. There was another HP guy that asked me about the meet but he didn't make it out.

Yeah http://www.bluewaterled.com is the site for those lights. If you contact them make sure you tell them you are from the Jeep site xjtalk. He may say HUH but I think eventually he'll remember the name.

Yea I should be at every one unless she is broken or in the middle of an upgrade :-)

and I took a look at the lights, with the XJtalk does that knock the price down, cause on there site now it shows 11 bucks a strip. There is another site to I was looking at for lights so I have two places to look when I go to get the lights. :D

And a guy I worked with here at HP bought a 2x and he lifted his 3 inches with 33's but I never seen it in person.

ya i bet his jeep would do good... for some reason i just like the look of your jeep... i have swapped out a 35 out from under a couple of my jeeps. first one was for a ford 8.8 with discs and a Arb then for a 8.25 that was welded.. i am just glad my 01 has a 8.25 with a Detroit and disc breaks and not a 35 so i had to swap it again.. so what are you going to swap in then?

got an 8.8 in the garage, HD Riddler cover, Motive 4.10 r&p, debating between an Aussie locker and a spool (rguignard had some a bad experience with a lunchbox locker.....makin me rethink things), and if money allows, disc conversion for the 8.8 :thumbsup:

i wanted to :sad0147: but the only one i found with discs was $400, found this one for $100, so i jumped on it. I figured i could get a set of discs off an explorer from the jy and put em on, and still have a cheaper build.... dunno though, you seem to have had some experience with the 8.8, is it possible to mount disc brakes from an explorer onto an explorer axle outfitted with drums (or if anyone else knows for that matter)? if not, then the conversion is $300 :eek: ! and i'm back to where i started with the 8.8 already equipped with discs.....:confused:

I'm not sure how many of you are further South in/of Houston but I was thinking about doing another Meet and Greet for the folks that were just too far South to make it to the current Meet and Greets.

How many folks do we have that would like to attend a South West, or West Houston Meet and Greet?

would depend on how far south west or west, and what date, but if i'm able, then yeah

Well XJ4IV was telling me about a couple of people South of Houston, so I need to find out what would be acceptable for them before I can pick a place. Also there may be more people that just haven't spoken because they knew where we meet now was just too far away.

When we were at the meeting I mentioned moving it so that more people could attend. I thought there were a bunch of people to the north, but if not and you want to move it a little south that is fine, but I doubt I will make any that are below the 10 cause that is a heck of a ride at least till I get the front end done to get rid of the DW and wondering....yep I know it's the UCA bushing and I'm working on replacing them, but the ones in the axle are really stuck....

Oh sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm not talking about moving the current Meet and Greet location. I was talking about have an additional Meet and Greet for those people that are further to the South that cannot attend the current location because it is too far. Everyone is welcome to join the one further to the South of course.

Oh ok, that'll work out better cause if the one to the south isn't to far south then I can try that one two on occasion, but the one up here I'll definitely come to.

yup idk where your at, but maybe we can set something up at BWW in the bella terra shopping center.

i know they have a patio on the side and a parking lot next to it we can park our jeeps...

seems to work well at our meetings for TX4wd at wild wings, just a thought.

I'm just a couple of miles from the Wild Wings at Westgreen and I-10, I think that is where you are talking about. But I wanted to hear from some people prior to picking the location. That may still be too far for people in say Clear Lake.

well wild wing cafe is where we meet for my other club, but i was referring to Buffalo Wild Wings close to west park and 99...but if we are talking clear lake, thats a good distance from them.
