Sounds like there will be quite a turn-out and that I probably won't be the only newbie out there!

Any word about what's happening for lunch? Just let me know if I need to chip in for something or if I should brown-bag it

Yes. It seems like it'll be a good day.  BUT nobody is showing any interest in a wienie roast. I'd buy the hot dogs, but I need to know how many to buy and who maybe could spring for buns? And who could bring wood/stoves?  You know the basics.  Come on guys post up only one week away.

[BrokenAxle]

[Corbitto]

I got a midland on sale for $29...works just fine.  With the cables, mount and antenna I think I paid just over $100 for my setup.

lots of guys use Cobra.  They have a nice little setup if you want something that is low key in the vehicle.  http://www.northridge4x4.ca/shop/cobra-75wxst-cb-18ft-coax-cable-firestick-package-pkg-cb  Not the cheapest option out there, but that kit has everything you would need.

Make sure you get the external speaker if you go this route, you'll get it eventually anyways with that radio.

the first dent is always the most painful.

after that you stop caring really quickly.

My last new Jeep was a month old when I took it on its first run, came back looking like sonebody took a garden rake down both sides  (definitely was not a newbie trail).
It was the result of that run that I determined wheeling was waaaay more fun once you stopped worrying about the paint.

[Elver]

Confirmed, I'm in! See you guys on Sunday!

Johnny and Vince are TRYING to scare you a little. This is going to be an easyish run even for a newbie.  Snow usually makes things softer and easier on the rig, more challenging and fun though.
Now they are right though. Now you have gone through and put a winch and 33s on.  Why would you do that if you wouldn't take it off road?  That's called a poser, a pavement princess.  I'm NOT saying you're a poser. Its just not practical to modify a great riding vehicle for off road for nothing.  It's a jeep it's not supposed to be PRETTY or CUTE.  Now with that said its good to be a little nervous, but trust me in the end it's worth it. I would really like to see you there.

Confirmed, I'm in! See you guys on Sunday!
