Path 88 saidDarrell and Jill saidDarrell and Jill saidWe would be in for that one.
I might let jill drive and im attaching my snow board to my rig.
I'm going to try and make this. I'll follow right behind Darrell to provide encouragement not to fall or let go
Im good at snowboarding, its jills driving that makes me nervous!😅
How difficult is this trail? My truck is itching to go wheeling, but it is still waiting for me to complete the right slider and get it lifted. How well do tire chains work in the snow off road?
It's a rough, rocky, narrow road to the lake when there is no snow. The bigger question is going to be, how much snow will there be?
Not sure on the tire chains.
Not sure what the club requirements are
Lifted on 35's
Locker up front
Tow points front and rear
Winch
Limited slip mite be in by then, but for now let's say not
Is it able to join this run?

Sounds like you should be fine. The full list can be found here:

Week and a half away! Good size group. Please post up if you are not listed and plan to go, or if you are listed and NOT going to make it.
See the first post or calendar for details.
Here's the Soda Springs (~6700ft) webcam which is the closest I could find. Bowman Lake is ~5600ft.

So far we have the following:
I plan to bring a two friends. One riding with me and one driving his own truck with his son.
I'm bringing a friend in another TJ, he does not have the extras that most of us have, but he has 33's and some pull points.
I am not yet confirmed for this run. I'll get an appointment for my jeep and get it in next week. If all goes well I'll be ready.

I think my ABS computer failed. Plus I need a fuel filler neck warranty completed.
I'm in for this run. My tires are highway tread worn to the tread wear markers (not bald). Any recommendations wether I should take my truck on this run or should I be asking for a ride?
We are still in 👍

Hi Rich! I don't know how much snow is up there or will be when we go and I don't know the trail at all, but even as relatively equipped as mine is with near-new KM2s, I'm worried about getting through. Street tires down to the wear bars sounds like trouble. Anyone with more experience wanna weigh in?

Maybe catch a ride for this one if that's the case. Don't want to spin your tires all day. At this point, I have an open seat.
If it's anything like Sly Park there is a lot fresh snow and ice it was deep in spots. I went up there yesterday it was fun.
Here's the latest update. Please ensure any friends' vehicles meet minimum requirements. Thanks.

So far we have the following:
Maybe:
I was just there.
5600' elevation is 12-18" of snow
Hwy 20 cutoff at 80 has about 18-24" of snow.
It is also expected to be snowing again tomorrow.
I think I will bring some home made chili beans and a cooker to warm them up. Then we can all have warm bellies. And im bringing my trailer.
Darrell and Jill saidAnd im bringing my trailer.
You're going to trailer your Jeep, or your Jeep will be towing a trailer?
If the latter, it will make recovery difficult if you, or the person in front/behind you gets stuck in the snow. It may also act more like a boat anchor if the snow is deep. This is not a snow patrol and I'm not sure what the snow depth will be come Saturday.
Good point, I will think of another way to warm up my chili.
Im in for this one, thought i had posted but must not have saved
Does anybody that is going know how to tune a cb? Just got mine hooked up but i have no idea where to go from there
Bretjk07 saidDoes anybody that is going know how to tune a cb? Just got mine hooked up but i have no idea where to go from there
If it is a quality brand CB and antenna then it will likely be already tuned properly. The issues I had were not grounding a ground-plane antenna, using a super cheap cable, not wiring directly to the battery, and not running a spring with an antenna that is designed for it.
