Open Run - Aug 20th - Waiparous

[WK2008]

Hows the trail width in these areas? I dont mind a few scratches on the new paint but i dont want it full of rocky mountain pin striping just yet.

This was me. Its now showing WK2008 again so no worries.

Sounds like we are shaping up for a good run here with a number of different types of rigs.

Looking forward to meeting new people, reacquanting with some I have already met, and learning more from a group of people I have come to respect and appreciate in a short period of time.

See you all soon.

Jeff

P.S.

I have been to the gravel pit once. If memory serves me right, it is just off of the main road going into the Waiparous trails (so you have to go right by it). Is this corrrect?

Thanks,

Jeff

Yes - the gravel pit is on the East side of highway 40, South of where it meets the Camp Chamisol road.

No my air intake is stock. Do you think this is an issue? I thought this was a pretty easy run?

Thanks Johnny

[JackstandJohnny]

yes it is a tame run in regards to rocks and things of that matter.  however there are three river crossings, one of which is fairly deep, and there will be a bit of mud as well..

to sum up waiperous for all the people that have never been out there .. its wide enough for a H! to get through the narrowest place .. everywhere else you can fit at lease 2 jeeps wide .. the trails them self can be driven with a honda civic . theres 2 hills that may give that civic a litttle hard time and a few river crossings that may be a bit deep for a civic . but no problems for any stock jeep ive even seen a 4 door 8 foot box chevy out at the falls on 30 inch tires . so theres very little to worry about

i suppose I was assuming that Johnny knew that I am on an OME lift and 32s so I am about 4 inches over stock. I am looking forward to this one for sure.
