And an extra Dana 60 :oops:

this is an awsome trail, but it usually is the cause of a lot of brocken parts.  A winch should be part of the minimum equipment list for this trail. :wink:

So far I count 4 people interested, but can't confirm for Sat. Feb. 04th.

We need atleast 4 rigs, otherwise it'll be an easy run to the falls.  :roll:

Post by: SteveO on January 23, 2006, 11:42:19 AM

I'm about 75% sure I can make it on the 4th.   Will be able to confirm the week prior.

Maybe you should try the falls?  It might be nice to do a run where your Jeep doesn't end up laying on it's side.  :lol:

Count on the Esso, that's where we'll be in the red Tacoma.  Try not to read anything Doug posts.  It's hard to understand and generally makes no sense.  :wink:

Yep, jeep guys on the smittys side of the road, yota's at the esso. Sounds about right :D

My neighbor was trying to make with me as a winch bich in his 4 runner, but I think the wife shot him down, so we are out. Have a good run guys.
