Who's in?

meet at Freshpond Chevron, 830, leave at 9am.

 

we will try or clear/run to the trailhead.  If you have a saw, or pry bars it would help based on last time.

 

great fun!

Is this event open to a non club member?  Also, would my stock Rubicon Hard Rock be able to keep up with you guys?  I would not want to hold you up or be a burden.

Last of all I don't as of yet have a CB in my Jeep.  However, I did order one from Right Channel Radios.  It is actually a Mopar Kit that comes with a "Jeep" brand external speaker, mounting kit and fire stick etc.  (the web site is not up to date as of yet but they are available.). That said I got him to trade out the aluminum spare tire mount for steel and add the passenger grab handle mount bracket. Seems like a real clean way to go... I hope it works as well as Pat at Right Channel said it does.

If I can free up my day on Sunday it would be fun to join you folks.

 

Thanks!

Jeff

There aren't any minimum requirements stated so everyone is welcome. Please to have a recovery strap, and at least a cheap air compressor so you can air down.  

 

See everyone tomorrow!

Thanks Brad ! Unfortunately, I have to pass this go around.  I am working on installing a CB in my Jeep and some other stuff.  I will definitely see you on May 7th and plan on joining in on other outings.  Have a great ride!!!

Thanks to everyone who made the run.

we did something we've never done before and it was a blast!

 

5 rigs ran up to our trail. The snow was pretty deep with 4" of newer snow.  

We came back to the main road, where Dale headed out.  4 rigs went up the main road and tried the spur left after the strawberry creek bridge.

then we headed further up the main road, found the shortcut and came down it, creating a trail loop. 

Then we took turns rerunning that loop in single vehicle trials, that were timed.  It was a blast!

We had an absolute blast!  And that is saying it lightly.  We did miss everyone.  Darrell it was a "time trial"!  cool

Ok. I got some great pix. Having trouble posting. If I still can't work out the bugs I will get some help soon.  Sorry for the delay gang..

Lynda, I can help upload if you want to put the pics and videos on a USB drive. That way you don't use up all of your 3G data. 🙂

 

I added Bret's video of my time trial to our video gallery. Got close to 40 mph in 4-low at one point!

Guess I left too early and missed out on the time trials, but had to help Lew work on his girlfriends car. Maybe next year!
