Hey guys, before I mention the possiblity of going out with you to my kids, just wanna make sure me and my totally stock ZJ Orvis(stock sized winter tires) would be welcome to join ya?  The presence of my worldly wisdom and positive attitude will largely depend on your response to my inquiry :P.  I know full well alot depends on current conditions at the moment of departure and the mix of people/units that show up for the trip, but is it the objective of this outting to be as 'stocker friendly' as possible or not?  Just askin' ;)

This run is definitely intended to be stocker friendly....but based on Knox's posted requirements, the minimum tire size is 31", with good quality AT or MT tires. I don't know what size comes stock on your ZJ.

From what I saw on the weekend, the ice on the mud holes is still not even close to supporting a Jeep's weight....so unless we see some pretty cold weather to build up thicker and stronger ice, you will probably find making this run on dedicated winter tires to be somewhat difficult.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Indeed, My goal is to keep it very stocker friendly but we really won't know the conditions due to the time of the year until the day of the run :( if the holes are frozen solid, dedicated winters will likely do very well.

I plan on heading out this weekend to see how it is, but even so I'm sure conditions will change over the week

No, last time I checked, the Orvis is a ZJ.  JKs are overrated anyways :D

I will be there.

I was a helpful guy and pointed out that the McLean store parking lot is closed right now, so Knox decided to meet on McLean trail (the gravel part) just in past the store at the wide spot.

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks for the update Knox.

yeah meeting for 9am at the lake.

looking like it may be a nice warm day Saturday, and if we do end up breaking into small groups it just may mean we can cover more ground, depends whats accessible to everyone
