Sounds good! I have a check engine light which came on yesterday. Hope to get it figured out asap. If I can get it fixed, I will be there.

I'm in

id really like to get to the falls. hope to meet at the gravel pit about 930am, be on trail at 10am. we will check out the bridge and decide if we can cross when we see it. easy enough to back track a little.
other then that vehicle requirements were allready mentioned. a small group of us did this trail 2 weekends ago and it
was a little slick and muddy in some sections, but we all got through fine. it should be much drier out there now.
just as a note ill be driving my truck and have invited some personal friends in none-jeep products. so we will get to see some variety on the trail.
most important is a good attitude for the day. rain or shine we go.
pm me, johnny jackstand or w squared if you have any questions.

eric actually means we are running Killer Cutline.

requirements are 35s and lockers front and rear.  or i've heard you can come down the cutline successfully on a BMX bike..........

[RUBICON13]

So,

Does this mean we need 35s and lockers? Or is the original list ok (i.e. stock unlimited Rubicon in good shape)? I really want to come out but, don't want to drive 90 minutes to find out I can't make the run.

Thanks,

Jeff

Just ignore everything that the silly man wearing the YJ as a tutu says. Actually to be on the safe side, you should bring a pair of dirty socks to stuff in Johnny's mouth during the run. 

You're good to go with the list in the first post. No minimum tire size, just please make sure that you do meet the listed requirements - it's no fun to get turned away after driving a long way to a run.

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.

[w squared]

Most of that area is relatively open, but there will probably be a few spots that will make you cringe if you're not a fan of pinstripes.

Here's the thing....us trying to tell you if you'll end up with too many pinstripes is tough - we don't know how many pinstripes you're okay with, and we don't know what your level of driving skill is.

[Pookapotamus]

and some of us view rocky mountain pin stiping as a badge of honor!

Todd enjoy your hot stuffy cubicle on saturday.

i'll be riding topless and doorless  i think its gonna be around 25 degrees too.  ahh perfect.  maybe i'll go for a dip in the creek too.

Rubicon13 no you don't need 35s....  and we sure aren't running killer cutline. just jokes for some of us that will remember back in the day.



for those of you in stock JKs/rigs that are really pretty, this is your disclaimer right now:  

BODY DAMAGE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY POINT ON A TRAIL. PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME WE/THE CLUB OR ANYONE ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP YOUR BRAND NEW JEEP SCRATCH/DENT FREE.  it happens, sometimes quite unexpectedly, or sometimes you get stuck and it happens.  

THAT said, i'm not trying to discourage anyone from coming or having a good time.  however, anything can happen in the back country.  better to know beforehand, than to find out when your JKs rear quarterpanel is sitting engulfed in an embankment!

Thanks for the comments guys. Sounds fair to me (I already have matching dimples on my stock front bumper, my tailpipe, scratches on my rock sliders, and lots of pinstripes to show for the runs I have already been on with CJA people).

Hot stuffy cubicle?  I suppose....but that's still a better option than watching you go swimming 

Enjoy the run! I'll be there if I can, but I'm not holding my breath 

[WK2008]

Thanks for the info. First of all, I dont know why my avatar is showing johnbou instead of WK2008 and of course the scratches will come, I just wasnt sure if it was typical open trails or tight trails where lots of scratches will happen.
