Halloween Run

[dabeersboys]

Jragan and I were talking today and we had an Idea for a Halloween Run.
Still need to firm a few things up but the plan would be:
Date: Sunday October 28
Trail: China Wall
We also thought it would be fun to dress up in costumes and maybe bring a bag of candy to hand out to the kids.
We want to make this a family thing!
Whos all is intrested?

[jragan]

I am in. Putting it on the Calendar now.

 

[Stumpalump]

My kids would like it. Make it happen it. It would be a good warmup for the November to remember.

 

[babyback000023]

[dabeersboys]

Thats one of the details still being worked out..... I'll keep you posted.
Nice Rig!

 

[dabeersboys]

10 am, at the Safeway parking lot right by 24. Colorado and 31st.
I'm really excited for this trip. Let rally some more people!

Stumpalump and Babyback You guys still down? It looks like if you go, that will be 4 confirmed, and thn I have a possible newer stock tacoma, 98 ZJ stock, may be a decent ly built XJ, and a stock XJ.
but none of those are confirmed, and some i feel unlikely. Any one else in?

I'm thinking about it. I seem to be done with working on Jeeps, for the moment.

No can go. Son has his last football game of the season that day and I volunteered to bring the rope to string up the ass-monkey coach. Have fun, be safe.

 

[DutchVDub]

What is China Wall rated? Will my stock XJ make it? If so, I'm totally down.

 

[dabeersboys]

Stock should be fine... I actually saw a thread some on co4x4 some time back where they had a suburu car doing it in the snow. and only was roped once.

Like, how stock would be able to make this? I am 2wd on the 2.5L, but am in interested in going out and seeing what other ppl have.

4 wheeling is like smokin crack. One trip and your hooked. I think you would have blast and then spend a lot in the next year on a 4wd xj. You can at least run around the first mile and maybe stop at the staging area. I say common down! The CORE off road park has a 10 mile loop for Jeepspeed and 2wd buggy stuff you may like to try after you see what it's all about.

JohnJohn made it up this trail and back in the stock Comamander without any issues... It really is a piece of cake. NOTHING tough about this trail at all. You can easily make this trail in a 2wd/2.5L and no lift. All "obstacles" have bypasses.

If you're coming from the north, the "paved" road coming down from Jefferson is harder on your rig than the trail is. Not kidding. Great views though! A bunch of us camped back there a few weeks ago.

Well I look forward to joining ya'll if i get my clutch parts in. (Dealer order the right side driver side for the clutch hydrolics on a left hand drive jeep ?(&*$#@ parts guy. Anyways, still waiting on parts for week #3 at this point.

 

[jragan]

Sorry, I have to back out. #1 project of the year for the company I work for is running into issue and they are staffing people all weekend to work on it. Luckly for me it is on my servers and I am just on call. Still sucks!

 

[dabeersboys]

Sorry Guys I have to bail out now too. Last Saturday my brother borrowed my cr for home coming and blew up the pinon yoke. Tried putting one on and come to fund out some of the pinon threads can slightly different from each other and lets just say now I have to do an axle swap with no time between now and then.
I'm really sorry that I made this such a big deal about this trip and now I hve to bail, But you all know as well as I... Its a jeep.
