i would also like to know what to expect as far as difficulty, and possibility of breakage are there drivearounds on the really hard stuff?... i'm mostly worried about my D30 on 33's. :explosion

Had a friend go last year I am pretty sure there isn't any wheeling going on just a bunch of Jeeps all showing off their Jeep glory.

And tons of guys run 33's on the 30.

and i know plenty of guys run 33's on the 30, i've been running them for a while, but i've only been running basic east coast slippery... but i probably wouldnt run it to hard in serious rocks... there is a reason people upgrade their axles...

With over 1200 Jeeps attending I doubt there will be much wheeling. The only way is to go and find out.

THERE IS WHEELING!!!! there is 3 coursed beginner intermediate, and pretty damn difficult. Must have lockers winch and i think over a 33 or 35 for the difficult course.

its a good time i would recommend it to everyone

I know nothing of this event. JK. The course isn't bad. You'll have more fun if you let me show you some local trails, since mesick is my home town.

 

[dgrigorenko]

sweet! well i plan on going

 

[seanR]

Can I go even if I don't have a Cadillac Jeep?

 

[kmanxj5050]

yeah all 4x4's are welcome

So the Jeep blessing was pretty freakin cool! it was a high quality, family-friendly event, with a ton of jeeps! there were supposedly over 1000 jeeps there. there was also plenty of wheeling. all 1000 or so jeeps did not wheel, i would say more around 250-300 jeeps actually wheeled on the 4 open courses. there was one "stocker" course, a intermediate course (recommended 33's), and chadville (35's and lockers front and rear required). i ran through the intermediate course twice without any issue (33's and a rear locker+sig) . i was kinda dissapointed with the showing, as far as i know, i was one of two ers present... next year i would like to see that changed, and the possibility of supporting the event. now i just need to figure out who i need to talk to about presenting the idea. anyways on to some pics of the event.

just one of the rows

Then this guy got stuck in the tires and held everything up for a while

This was probably the best set up rig i saw there, nice and low with good articulation... and Currie rockjocks front and rear:eeks1:

and then there was the Astro...

 

[dgrigorenko]

nice xj on tons:

another XJ

end!

 

[dgrigorenko]

oh and a vid... not to impressive but oh well



oh and when the random guy says "Ohhhhh thats not good", that was not in reference to me, an explorer had just exploded its Transfer Case, although the timing was impeccable, considering i had just jammed up on my front Dif

 

[kmanxj5050]

[kmanxj5050]

they definitely made those cement stair steps alot safer last year if you went ot either side you were rolling off lol (almost did it in my buddies tj)
