If radley likes it, I'm good with it. No real opinion, just want to wheel with everyone!
Damn bro your gonna be out there at the hottest point of the day, I won't join you on this pre run it will be to hot for me. Maybe we can do one in September sometime.
TRO is nice too. Kinda test you right off the bat. Haha. We did that trail on the last trip. Stock JKU and JK made it through no problem. Just gotta go slow and steady. Was the first tail tackled that day during a beginners trip.
I was wondering if I can ride along with a few people from group 1 to get a feel for suspension mods I have my eye on. Namely, Smokinv10 (DTD) Angry Aussie or iRonin (double D long arm & 37s)?
I just read though all the updates, it looks like it's going to work out to be a great trip. I do have 1 question though, as I am looking to lift the jeep soon, I was wondering if I can ride along with a few people from group 1 to get a feel for suspension mods I have my eye on. Namely, Smokinv10 (DTD) Angry Aussie or iRonin (double D long arm & 37s)?
I wish someone with bolt ons was going... lol then I could get a "good, better, best" comparison going... lol
I want to make sure this is still a newbie run. I have a lift and 33' tires so I'll probably be ok.

You can ride in and drive my rig if you want to. I have the Evo double d long arm kit on 37s with plush ride coils. If I could do it over again I'd go coilovers front and rear but that's it. The plush rides are really nice, I'll go to coilovers in January or so.
Sure dude.

This is an awesome picture. Will you email it to me so I can get it printed and framed? I think soon after we took this picture is when I lost my passenger side flare! And I still haven't replaced it yet! Lol I will soon. Just gonna replace them with some cheap ones I'd love to get the poison Spyder ones but don't wanna spend a grand on flares
Ok so; here is my initial thought regarding trail itinerary for 2 groups. The basic idea is that we would split off at Area B (Star), and then run trails that naturally meet back up again at Tower (Heart) where we can regroup, take pictures up with the scenic view / eat lunch / etc. My goal is to have these two trail systems take roughly the same amount of time, and within the same park area to where we can keep in radio range
From tower this gives us two options - if folks are done / it's too hot / want to head back to camp, we all just take Park Road 3 back down to Area B. If folks are down to continue, then we trade routes between groups and run them in reverse, which again gets us back out to Area B

Group A (Yellow on Black)
Area B -> Park Road 1 -> North Peak -> North Pole (Fence-line) -> Green Mile -> Park Road 1 -> Park Road 3 -> Tower
Group B (Black on Yellow)
Area B -> Park Road 1 -> Rocky -> Park Road 2 -> Bull Run -> Feeder Creek -> North Pole (Fence-line) -> Greenhorn2 -> Green Horn -> North Pole (Fence-line) -> Park Road 3 -> Tower
This list is subject to change but it's what I'll be running time trials on to start.
Sound good?
I'll be driving but I would also like to get a feel if anyone has the Enforcer or Evo Bolt-Ons although I am leaning towards the COs.
For sure! Just pm me your email and ill send it. Lmfao you completely lost it?!? lol
You should just try going to a junkyard and see if theres any wranglers with the stock black ones, or if your lucky, the white ones.
Kuddos man! Everythings is looking marvelous
I'm still pissed off I couldn't get up that step ledge! Didn't help I didn't have a spotter but it's all good it's a jeep battle scare. Sadly I think I'm just gonna throw on the cheap shittybilty flares they have come out with. I don't have the coin to do any nicer ones for now. I get asked all the time, where did your fender flare go? I don't mind telling people hidden falls ripped it off!
That's pretty astonishing that TRO would be on the list for beginners - I have to imagine a lot of bypasses were taken since that trail features a lot of diff-dinging rock gardens, deep water crossings, double-shelf waterfalls, and an exit climb that has been severely washed out by the rains requiring an off-camber S-climb with gassing it to clear.
It's also like a 3 hour commitment to a single trail if people want to actually try the obstacles with spotting since its also one of the longest.
Don't get me wrong - it's my favorite trail next to Wildcat maybe after lunch if folks are down for the challenge we could run it

Yeah, it was just a bad line. Theres always next time. :thumb:
Yeah i hear that. I have a ton of custom pin striping from HF. I think it gives the jeep more character lol
Arent the shittybilts still a little pricy?
If youre in need of a stock fender. I have the one rear black plastic unpainted ones that comes on the Jeeps with unmatched roof and fenders. You can have it at the HF run if needed. let me know so i can make it a thing to put it in the trunk when packing up. Just dont have the clips.!
Thanks, but it's my front passenger side that got ripped off. I'll never forget Ashley saying uuummmmm there goes your fender! It was so funny. View attachment 162248
