OK the southeast section is getting boring with no chatter and everyone was talking about feb for a trip, so who is up for it? Anyone got any suggestions for a date. I'm itching to hit the trails after missing out in october. Maybe snow and mud like last years.

I don't think ill be able to make it this time. I just don't have the money or time

I might be able to make it but not sure since I have train up before Afghanistan. Is it possible to run it stock?

its possible, but be ready for trail damage if you do anything like we did last time that we are up there

There are plenty of trails to run that wouldn't put you in jeopardy of trail damage. That is as long as the trail leader doesn't take you on some trails you aren't prepared for. I've run there many times back when my X was bonestock without issue.

I would be up for a run in February but I've got to wait and see what my work schedule is like. I know there are two shows sometime around then that I may have to work. It also depends on if I'm able to get a lot of my maintenance done before then though. I don't want to get mine on the trails too hard right now because I'm pushing 100K and I want to get my t-belt changed before I resume the punishment. :D

its possible, but be ready for trail damage if you do anything like we did last time that we are up there

If thats the case then if I'm free I might just ride up there so I can meet some of the guys and then jump in somebody else's rig if they dont have an issue with that

I'm in depending on the date, busy time of year for us but I'm hopeful I can slip out for a weekend. :)

Im in if i get my 4x4 fixed lol... stockers can do it... hoping to hit some more serious trails though... im tired of 22 lol

Well I really don't wanna beat up the X and I don't wanna force everybody to run the easier paths if I'm the only one stock

No worries man. I don't mind leading a stock group if I'm able to go and nobody else wants to. There's a good loop in the southwestern part of the park that is relatively easy in good conditions or really fun when it's wet and muddy. I'll just have to wait and see what work has lined up for me. Like Kelly, that time of year marks the beginning of my busy season.

Sounds good Drake but like I said before I'm a maybe cause of work too

I am hoping to go. I'll do a stock trail with you. 22 will be good for you. I did it with a 2wd Xterra

I'm open for dates, I feel for you guys that gotta work weekends, i'm lucky on that one. I've got a couple light maintenance issues too, but they should be no problem, I just knocked out the major one.

Last Feb trail 22 was a complete muddy mess (but fun!) - I personally wouldn't do with 2wd at that time of year. Diadaga -have 4wd?

That's why I have a 4wd now.

I was surprised how different it was btw Feb and then May. I guess they could do some trail maintenance as the weather improved in between. Looking forward to see the ranger.

I'll try to make it. Especially if there is a stocker run. That place is slick in february.

Ryan did we scare ya last time? :) I'm game was planning one of the last two weekends..
Might be Cooper's 1st run

Looks like you're still seeing double Dave :)

I personally wouldn't do with 2wd at that time of year. Diadaga -have 4wd?

Yeah I got 4wd

Yeah I got 4wd

You are set then. What do you have in terms of tires?

30 terra grapplers

Thought it was a set of 32's but just went and double checked its 30's still not bad considering I got em off craigslist for super cheap

Fun fun fun :)

If thats the case then if I'm free I might just ride up there so I can meet some of the guys and then jump in somebody else's rig if they dont have an issue with that

no issues with that... assuming i'm there :) but if we can do an easier trail, then you can join in on the fun

As of right now I'm clear for any weekend but the 1st weekend of February... but that can change with one phone call but the odds are pretty slim. If we make it the next weekend it could be like my birthday run or something. :D

I'd love to go play on #3 and a few others but I'm thinking I need to pamper my X for a little while until I can get some stuff done to it. Plus I've got a brand new gas tank now and until I get a fuel tank skid, I'd like to keep it in it's original shape. lol So with that said, if there's any beginners or stockers that would prefer to stick to lighter trails, I won't have a problem leading a group. We'll need the modded X's to stick with Dave so somebody can tow his jeep back out when it breaks down. :mocking:

Second week is better for me as well any later and I will struggle to make it.

Pffffttt rumpled is a shape....what's wrong with that shape? :mocking:

Mine was more like cashew shaped. :D I think I lost about 2 gallons of capacity. When the fuel pump crapped out on me, the tech guys at the dealership said something about it being bashed in that caused it but I had to tell them it had been that way for about 2 years now. I think they were just super pissed that I brought it in completely caked in mud. They probably had to wear splash shields to keep the dirt out of their eyes while they worked on it. :hilarious:

So that is two favoring the 2nd weekend in February. Anybody else good for that?

Its all the same for me lol. I don't have to work weekends

I'm cool.. and I hope there will be no need of towing..I'm on 35s so there is no rock too tall.. :)

You guys pick the weekend and I'll do my best to be there

I'm in for the 12th or the 19th, NOT the 26th.

So id say a good date would be the 2nd satturday in feb. I think its the 12th...
I know a few on here can not get time off in late feb..what say you?

I'm good for that date.

Works for me.

Will check when I go to work and let ya know

I'm good with the 12th.

Im in repair pending

Count my arss in.

Sweet! Good to see you back roaming around Sean! I hate the cold but I'm kinda hoping for some snow that weekend. I've always wanted to see that place with a nice blanket of white on the ground.

Well Drake you really missed out last year..70 on one side of the hill 30 on the other..3 inches of snow

So id say a good date would be the 2nd satturday in feb. I think its the 12th...

Sweet!

Do you still have your yota? If so, are you going to bring it or your X? I knew you were trying to sell it at one point. If I had the cash I would have bought it in a heartbeat. That yota is badass!

Yeah I still have the Toy. I don't know what I was thinking when I tried to sell it.
I plan on bringing the X and testing out my lift and Wranglers.:3d_004:

Sweet! Looking forward to this one. I haven't been since the NOAS run last year. It's been so long, #22 will be fun for me again. :D

Hey Kelly, if you are able to go, when do you plan on heading up there? I usually go up the night before and crash at the Motel 8. I would be trying to leave out around 5 p.m. but it will also depend on my "passenger's" schedule and when she will be able to get free. Yeah that's right. I said a "she". :D Hell she knows more about engines and cars than I do! She'll be my pit crew if I break something. lol

I'm in!

Im getting excited now! Can't wait, maybe I can get some more scars lol.

Is it Madonna?

Anytime is good for me just so long as I don't have to wake up at like 04:30 and drive. :mocking: I drove up the night before and stayed in a hotel last time so that should work.

I may head up the night before too

I really, really, really want to go, but the 12th is no good for me (it would have been my first one, too).
My little girl has a gymnastics meet in the morning and I'm haulin' ass up to Indy for Supercross that afternoon.
Dammit.

Im still not sure if I am coming or not. I really want to.

I'll be there. I think a friend of mine from work is coming with his Bronco.

Looking like 2 groups... I know I'm not hitting 22 :) maybe 3 again...

Is it Madonna?

Buzzzzzer... um, No! thanks for playing.. :)

I like 22 in the mud...

930 roll call and ready to hit the trail seemed to be a generally good time. I think I get up at 4am to be able to roll in by 9ish.

Looking like 2 groups... I know I'm not hitting 22 :) maybe 3 again...

Yeah #22 is really long and it would be hard to tow your jeep out that distance. :mocking: (You know I have to haze you right? lol)

I don't mind #22 and unless someone else just wants to, I'll lead the stockers and/or those less inclined to get into some more hairy stuff and take them through that loop down in the southwest. #26, #27, #30 and #31 I think? That seems to be the best route we've found to offer enough of a challenge to those less modified/experienced but still be safe enough to not get body damage and stuff.

Now if the stocker group prefers to get into something harder, I'll be glad to hit #3 and #4 but I won't guarantee you won't go home with some friendly reminders of Coal Creek. :D

Also, we need to know who has cb's or two-ways for the groups. Very important to keep a good order to keep everybody safe and together.

I think you have the right idea Drake. I don't want to break anything but I do want to give the X a good challenge. How many winches are coming?
I have a cb.

I like the sound of that plan Drake and I've got a CB

I made a post on my local club website about this run and one of the guys may come up with us. He drives a nicely built 4Runner with a 15K winch and would more than likely be glad to ride with the moderate/difficult group. I'm hoping to hear from the member with the new tricked out FJ too.

This is his yota. He goes by "Doc". I hope he can make it. He's a hoot.

Ill prob tow the Jeep down :)

Tow it with what? Are you that worried about it breaking? Lol

I got a CB.

BTW... if Doc makes it, let's be on our best behavior. :D He is also one of the higher-ups with the Southern Four-Wheel Drive Association. He has access to things that could really benefit us in the future. He has already offered to see if the SFWDA will provide insurance for our homecoming meet in June if we need it.

He's a super cool easy going guy though so it's not like he's grading us or anything. lol We as offroaders have to promote a good image though.

Might... it is a Jeep Luke.. I'm still xterra at heart

Aaawwwww now I have to behave??!! :usuck::mocking:

Hey if you can, try and keep track of how long it takes you to change it out. Curious how difficult you think it was to remove and re-install.

Will do I plan on taking lots of pics and doing a write up as well

Jeep is about ready to hang with the xterras :) time to add the km2s

Dropping the front diff isn't really difficult, besides maneuvering it out, try and have help doing it. I dropped mine on my friends chest when we were doing my diff drop bushings. It kept getting hung up on one of the front brackets trying to use the floor jack to get it out so he got underneath it while I got it unstuck, which happened when he wasn't ready for it. All of the bolts are fairly easy to get to (axles, driveshaft and 4 diff mounts), the toughest part is probably doing all the maneuvering to get it back in and fighting with the front axles at the same time.

I keep bouncing between winch in whats left of the stock bumper or skids...we'll see if either happens.

AJ'S supersliders.

Front bumper...so when its time for the winch your ready :)

Ryan are you gonna make it????

Im still not sure. It all depends on how the next two weeks go

You boys better get to work. Time to wheel will be here before you know it. My lift was suppose to be delivered today. I keep checking the tracking number all day it was "Out for delivery" and now it says "Emergency conditions beyond UPS control". Damn-it, I was wanting to install it tonight. Went out and got a full propane tank so I could stay warm and melt all the ice. Hoping its on my door step when I get home.

What kinda lift you waiting on?

Gotta hate that.

AC actually shipped out my brake lines the same day I ordered them (friday). First time they haven't taken a week to ship out my order. Hopefully it will warm up enough soon so I can rebuild the front calipers and install the brake lines.

What kinda lift you waiting on?
