Anyone with a capable rig and a positive attitude is welcome. This is a club run so it is expected that we help each other out on the trail if needed. Spotting, stacking rocks etc....

Without a doubt. Wouldn't have any other way.

I've never run Signal Peak. Any idea how long it typically takes to get through? I have to be somewhere in the evening, and may have to cut out early.

This should an easy run. However, you never know what mother nature did to the trail over the winter. Plus we are only as fast as the last rig. Safety comes first. If we turn around at the top in a timely manner we should get off the trail at a reasonable time.

I'm on call through Sunday night, and with the southern California fires I'm getting calls so I won't be able to make it this weekend.

Starting Monday I'll be free however.

Josh,
My Suzuki is still broke, so I won't be driving it. But I have a friend from work that is going to go. I'll ride with him. He has a jeep and has not been on the Signal Peak trail and wants to go on it. Here is a pic of his rig.

If I can't build it, then it's something that should be bought.

That's a nice Jeep. He should have no problems on the trail.

The list is too long..... 🙁 318,000 miles caught up with the old girl. Axle bearings went out and took one axle out. The Transmission has lost 5th gear. So she "no go" right now.
