Anyone got a list of trails / trail ratings? Sorry if it's buried somewhere in the 23 pages of this thread. Harlan first timer here and I'd like to have an idea what I'll be able to run. Pretty experienced wheeler, as Brooks and Jim can attest to. Rig stats for those of you that don't know.....XJ, Dana 44, Ford 9 inch, locked front and rear on 33's, winch, body damage. Thanks! - Spencer

What's Grasshopper all about? Did they ever open up that 10 mile trail or whatever it was called? Matt, I'm not really planning on anything but that sounds good if it works out.

No clue on Grasshopper. Sounds like a good Saturday adventure to me. 10 mile trail never surfaced due to land not coming available yet is what I have heard. May get more info closer to time.

I know you don't plan. But, that is my plan for whoever would like to join along.

That is what I just went through. Mine has been sitting since we took it out and beat it down in the snow. The rear driveshaft let go and met up with my oil pan. Then to make room the oil pan jumped over and introduced itself to my crankshaft. The crankshaft was not in the mood to be an extrovert and beat the **** out of my oilpan. Got all that stuff fixed and saftey wired that driveshaft in. Hopefully it will stay in this time. All that is left is to bolt up some body panels and my rear skid plate. Then we will see if it is ready for another beat down. It also got a new winch rope after it snapped one in windrock. Synthetic line might be easier on my hands but I swear it sucks for longevity. This is the third line I snapped and I have never broken a cable.

So, is there any sort of game plan Nick? I will miss Thursday so need to get a lot of riding in on Friday/Saturday. I will have Shannon with me so it will be a new experience.

Are we vetoing Das Loco Barn? I would like to be on the trails early in the mornings. We will see how that goes though.

Just for shits and giggles whats this sound like for a GP? To anyone who wants to tag...


Friday:
Hit trails no later than 9 AM.
Whitetail
Railbed
Fish Fossil
Steel Hill
Lower
Lower Damnation
Middle
Upper
Jagger
Your Turn
Crawfords Cry

Saturday:
Mason Jar
Lions Den
Any trails up that way on the way to/from
Back to camp for BBQ

Would be nice to make sure Mason Jar gets hit early. Every year it turns into a CF at the entrance.

We never make plans, just wherever we end up but I know it wont be at Loco Barn

Anywhere with enough room for us would work for a group photo if we don't need a huge hill to take the picture from

There is a huge hill behind the cabins. Could possibly line up on it if it worked out and take the pic form below. Or just make use of Tripp's fancy pants camera and do it right in the lower lot. That way people dont have to chase all over the place for a pic.

George, are you guys registered? We could schedule the pic where it's convenient for those guys if they are interested.

I used the rope on my 9000 three times before it snapped. This rope got used twice. The new one on this 5k winch is a little bigger than the factory line. I had 1/4 and stepped it up to 5/16". I don't pull cable much. Reverse normally works.

91 Registrations this year! This is the biggest OSCAR yet! I'm trying to remember, I think there is someone who paid me for registration that I have not accounted for.

If you are not on this list but think you paid me let me know ASAP so I can get your correct Shirt Size. We will be adding a few shirts extra to the order also to purchase at the event.
