[w squared]

I am in!

Don, I'll run tailgunner for you if it's a small group, or lead a second group if we have a big turn-out. 

[Rubibago]

We are a maybe... depends on what those little people that live in our house need from us (I think they're called kids).

Bring em!!  I have to bring all three of my kids.....wife is outta town, so it should be interesting.  Good thing my girls like Rosko and SilverTJ, that way I can pawn em off!!  =]

[jeepers26]

Im in!

[raf2379]

awesome looks like it will be a good turn out.

[Rubibago]

Looks good everybody.

By my count we will have about 12 jeeps out (mostly JK's and XJ's)....should be interesting.

Please make sure your are prompt, I would rather get an early start, that way we can get some good photos and have a nice lunch somewhere is nature.

--OR--

We may need the time to practice our recovery skills!!

Either way lets be aired down and rolling by 9:20.

See you tomorrow.

I would love to come as this would be my first run with all of you but I was a nice guy and lent out my recovery strap. I do have a "tow strap" with soft ends...and would pick one up however to early to stop anywhere. Does anyone have a strap that I could buy (if I buy preferably in good shape) or borrow (any damage and I will replace). I would hate to not be able to go on the run because of a strap!!!

i have an extra recovery strap, you can use. between all of us coming we have plenty if anyone dont have one and needs a tug out of a mud hole.

Ok I am going to have to ask the stupid question of what is the difference between a tow strap and a recovery strap???

A tow strap doesn't stretch, a recovery strap does.  So...when you jerk someone out of, say, mud, the recovery strap stretches, storing some energy, then that stored energy helps pull the jeep out.

Also, when it stretches, it's less of a shock than if it was a non-stretching tow rope.

I'm in as well.  8:30 at the store?

[Saraha4X4]

Ok I will have to make a point of not getting stuck till I can get a proper recovery strap
