Big bear run Sunday 8/5

[garrett83]

Sounds good John!! I'm picking up new axles tonight so I need to chat with you a bit about that anyways

 

[garrett83]

garrett is a pretty decent driver, i think he'll be ok.

Thanks Dan, I think some people forget that it's fun to push the limits of your rig and help others do the same. Jumping speed bumps at the mall just doesn't do it for me...

Anyone planning to come can call or text my cell phone. We are sticking to the schedule. Meeting at Denny's in big bear between 8 and 8:30.

Well, all in all we had a good day of wheeling. No one broke, no flats, we got in gold mountain, little john bull, and john bull. 5 rigs total, 3 xjs, one TJ, an a JK. Only person that had to get a tug was the JK that got high centered at the gate keeper to john bull.

Thanks for makin it up Jeff, it was great wheeling with you an Eric. I appreciate your help up there. Hope you guys made it down the hill ok.


I'll post up some pics a little later. We have some videos as well of a TJ in our group, 29" tires, 3" budget boost, walking John bull!! Oh yeah, and he is open front, limited rear.

We are thinking of doing a multi day camping trip up there for labor day weekend. Will be posting something up on this shortly if I can take the time off.

[garrett83]

Lol!! Thanks Cameron!! I do believe it was johns woman running john bull... Little!

Had a great time wheeling with you as well. Sorry for taking off for john bull and leaving you behind. I didn't think it would take three of us that long, but then add the pink TJ Barbie jeep and about a couple dozen other jeeps and it became a longer bipass!!

Definitely looking forward to wheeling with you again. Gotta get caught up on my American history to wheel with you tho!!

Great pics. Is that white XJ sometimes parked at 4 wheel parts in Santa Ana? I drove by it yesterday.

 

[garrett83]

That is jeff411sk8 rig. He works at 4 wheel parts. He's been wheeling his xj for a long time and seems to know a lot about them. He's a good dude.
