It should be good the snow is a lot less then it was that's if we don't get anymore snow. Having a shovel is always a good idea but i don't think your going to need it!!!

Hey guys,

I am hoping to try out the new locker this weekend. I dont have a lift but I have 31s with no rubbing issues. My only real issue seems to be ground clearance.....hence the reason for the OME kit coming soon.

Are most of the areas you guys go fairly mild as with my locker and studded snows I can usually get some pretty hairy places but i would prefer not to rip anything off the bottom of my Grand. I have front and rear tow points, recovery straps etc...so I should be okay. I am looking forward to a nice day out and try out the rig on some trails.

With the really cold weather I was wondering at what temp would this trip be canceled if at all?
Thanks

I'm not speaking for the people doing the run but just as a heads up, winter wheeling hides all the nasty body (and underbody) modifying obsticals. That and it's much hard to avoid the ones you do see.

I am going to leave it up to the individual participants to decide what temperature they pull the plug at. So far it looks like it will be around -13* for a high and -19* for a low. If due to unforeseen circumstances I do not end up leading the run (very minute chance of this happening), it will revert back to a non-official run unless another member steps up.

is this run suitable for someone inexperienced in 4x4ing? I have an 08 JK Unlimited Sahara, stock. Is this trail difficult?

Looks like we are going to have some fresh snow to go playing in.

I have never been on the "winter trails" so I can't speak for the difficulty of it, but I am stock as well so you won't be alone.

I thought I heard there was a way around that spot.  If I pull the same move as Silverfox I may as well not go home...    :-\

or try and get out to the falls.  thats just icy. nothing skinny pedal can't fix :)
should benefit you long wheelbased JKs a bit better.  to.

i don't wanna scare anyone:  I just think you need to know that 'body modification' can happen anytime you go wheeling.........
