Sunday October 7 run to McLean?
« on: October 06, 2012, 07:21:30 AM »
I can't make Monday, but would like to go out Sunday.  Do top of the world or something. I'm thinking 10 am at the store.

We'll make it home for turkey. I don't discriminate what I help get unstuck so all welcome. :)

Prefer fairly capable rigs - stock is fine if a rubicon. Reliability is a must.

With a rig like that, we'll be golden! We have another jeep maybe, but not confirmed. Toyotas welcome. See you tomorrow.

Would like to join... but wonder how quickly the stock '07 JKU would half to turn tail and head back to relative safety...

We generally poke around the first couple km's from the gravel for a couple hours then head home, but it'd be nice to see more of the area.

You can for sure make it to top of the world. As for where the plan is after that I don't know. Worst case someone has to give you a tug or winch but you shouldn't need it to top of the world.

Pretty much ANY stock 4wd can do top of the world without issue, even with crap tires.

I've been to top of the world and a number of other places throughout the creek area, but never with a few others.  Without a winch or backup, we tend to play it pretty safe.  Well I think I'm safe.  Passengers always seem to have a different perception.  I figure that since we haven't broken anything and we've been out a half dozen times, we take it pretty easy.  That, or we're pretty lucky.

Although, if you do McLean hill from Fisher East, that's a different story, going down, little hairy for stocker, going up, even more hairy for a stocker ;)

Its not even a matter of breaking anything......If your not getting stuck enough to need another rig to help you out now and then I'd say your going too easy.

Chad, Mike, Craig (and the little one) - Gabriel and I had a great time!

I'd never been that route and the stock JK ran AMAZING on lower pressure... now to do something about clearance...  :-)
