Updated - Again!:
So far we have:
Knox- our fearless leader - open/open on 31's  
AstraX
Jeepgrl
Rubicon13
NuxJR
Hps4Evr
XJSteve
W Squared - Tailgunner

Possibles:
LSM
Clay


Because we have a good number of experienced members that have volunteered to tail and mid gun as required, we will have the option of splitting the run into two groups if we have a big turnout. If Knox would like to split the group, I will have no issue leading a group of folks on an alternate route selected to match rig and driver abilities.

Knox and I did some scouting today, and McLean is frozen solid. One thing we did notice is that any rutted or off-camber sections that are climbing or descending hills are quite tricky right now - there is just the right amount of snow to let you slide into the ruts and get high centered. We have a tentative route picked out, and will make a firm decision once we get a look at exactly who shows up tomorrow morning.

Sorry guys but I won't be able to make it. Last week I put on my snow plow bracket and then promptly forgot about it. Steve.

I can't make this one as we will be landing from Mexico at 6:30. I will be ready for the next one with my new Detroit once I hear back from Northridge.

LOL

I hate lol posts, but that's all I got for this one

[lsm]

I have to blowout as I am on a course this weekend and I have my winters on now.  I really wanted to go as this would have been the run to qualify me to be a real member. Oh well there is always next year.

I may be a bit slow but what did I miss

[RUBICON13]

Awesome run guys!

Absolutely loved Fisher East. This gives me inspiration to be able to run it in the summer with my new 2012 once it is finished being built.

I am finally beginning to understand what people mean by Just Empty Every Pocket. Although these things are all minor I managed a couple things on this run: tore off my evap box (thanks Astra for picking it up I'll have to get you something for Christmas too), my Warn air compressor ceased to work again and it still doesn't work as of yesterday but, this time it doesn't look like the fuse blew. So, I am going to see what I can do about that. It may just become target practice on my acreage outside of Millarville. Finally, both of my right tires are leaking and at least the front one appears to be around the rim (bead). So, I guess I'm bringing both of those in today to have them looked at.

Still, this was one of the best runs I have been on yet. Looking forward to the next one.

Whoever sold you that Warn should be willing to refund you based on the number of issues you've had with it.

As far as the leaks go, odds are you probably just got some crap stuffed up in the between the wheel and bead - should not be an issue to clean it out.

[RUBICON13]

Thanks for the advice W.

Yeah, this is the second one they have given me which I reluctantly accepted to try so I could keep keep my purchases local (I could have purchased it for literally 1/3 the price the next time I was in Colorado which I was only a couple weeks later and I knew I was oging to be). I spoke with them this morning and they are willing to take it back and send it to Warn to look at. If it were me I would refund the consumer since this is the second one that has crapped out after only a couple uses. But, that's why all of my companies are ranked top ten in all of their respective fields. We'll see how things go...

Waiting to get my Jeep back with the tires fixed today. I definately noticed one was leaking from the bead and I tried to clean it but, it continued to leak. Oh well, if they are fixed well I will consider it $30 well spent on each to know they are trail worthy rather than me hoping I fixed them properly only to have problems on the trail...
