    I didn't realize you were allowed to post if you didn't own a JK. I just can't stoop to that level so I figured I'd just sit here quietly.



    No, it's fine for people to post who don't own a JK. It's those people who don't own a legitamate 4x4 that aren't allowed to post! Good thing you own a Manrano.



    Add this to my list of legitimate 4x4s. :bling:



    at least for now

    It's on loan. It's Kelly's grandparents but at this point their health is preventing them from using it. It's really an amazing machine. We're taking it for a "test" run this weekend. 😎

    That's a nice truck. It could tow your maurano as well.

    It could pull 2 Manranos but there's no way it could pull a JK unless the JK let it. Otherwise a tug of war between a JK and a fully loaded diesel Ford F350 would most certainly result in the Ford either whimpering in a corner or vaporized on the spot.

    I feel like I should put a cape on my JK!

    I hope you guys realize that just by showing us "Idaho Off Road" guys a video of snow and saying "you can't make it from the Tahoe side", you have thrown down the challenge that we have to accept. 😏 ( As long as it is legal)

    Actually, that could be a lot of fun. You'd wheel about 80% of the trail on dirt and rocks, then finish up with some snow. Cadilac in the snow would be interesting 😲

    Have fun! Hopefully most of the snow will be gone by then. 😲

    Taken from the Rubicon section on Pirate4x4:



    "6 rigs, 8hrs, at least 30 combined winch pulls, truck load of beer = Miller lake + 1/3 mile. Oh, then we had to come out!! Way MORE winching than going in, and ended setting up camp @ 9:30pm.......in the quad staging area.....oh well, gotta do whatcha gotta do If you are Facebook fans, you can do a search for Sierra Stompers, and hit the like button. Carl's pics are already up, I didn't take a single one, but Mel took over 500! Those will be on a different site, and I'll forward it as soon as I get them from her. She said this afternoon, so soon. Also note that there were'nt any bugs AND it was calm and warm. Yes......a perfect day was had."





    I figure the Tahoe side is still a no go right now. If you don't have to, stay away for the 4th as well. I'll try and hike in and get some pictures early next week (Mon/Tue).

    We had some folks on our club forum get a little butthurt from all the razzing. So I tried to make them feel better by changing my signature to:



    "There are 2 kinds of Jeepers. Those who wheel and those who own 4 door JK's"



    Unfortunately they took it the wrong way 😛 People just need to understand that razzing is all a part of wheeling. I've owned my YJ for 19 years, so trust me, I get it!

    I feel like I have to throw in here "I drive a FULL SIZE" and I am feeling a little left out. Either people don't know what to say, or they dont say it to me. Maybe I am that cool one of a kind guy that never makes it into the photos. 😎



    Oh thats right its one of those Heep things! 😀
