I'll put you down. This might end up as an official run. I've asked but haven't got a blessing yet. If it does or even if it doesn't I want to limit it to ten rigs or so. Those of you who have posted have first dibs.

Ryan, I've added this run to the official Trail Run draft for a Tues-Wed run, with you as the Trail Leader. 10 rig limit.

Ryan, do you have a trail rating/rig requirements/provision requirements for a Lockhart Basin run?

Using the rating system found here http://www.rr4w.com/ratings.cfm I would rate it somewhere between a 4 and a 5. I think any stock XJ could get through it but you have to understand, this trail is very long, very bumpy and the added cushion of taller aired down tires and suspension travel would be a major advantage.
As far as requirements:
Enough gas to get your rig 200 miles. There are no fuel stops from the time we leave Moab until we return to town. While your jeep may go 300 miles on a tank on the highway, it won't for two days in low range.
Food. My plan is to leave early Tues and get back into town sometime on Wed. That's lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch and possibly dinner.
Camping gear and firewood. There is nothing to burn on this trail. A good campfire is a requirement if you plan to camp with me.
Tools and such. This isn't a technical trail but like I said, it's long and bumpy. It can take a serious toll on an ill prepared vehicle. Make sure stuff is good and tight before you leave and bring tools to fix what you forgot before we left.

30 gallon tank win. Supped up 5.9 v8 fail. I think a gas can will be needed.

Haha. My dad has a 5.9. They are no gas sippers on the trail. Still bet you get better mpgs than my pig pulling my trailer. 11 mpg FTW!!!

I get 20 mpg Hwy even with the 32's I have on my rig now. City is considerably less but I don't drive all that far everyday so it doesn't bother me. I haven't seen what mpg I get all loaded up yet and I'm sure the mountain roads won't help either.

Ok. So the list I have now is:
KRAKER
FlexdXJ
XJensen
Ram-Rod
JohnX
POLAR_JEEP_04
High2by
Pacific Ed
With me that's a full list. Now. How many of you are super certain you are going?
If you are interested in going but your name isn't on the list speak up anyway. I may increase the number of rigs and there is always the good possibility that one of these guys already on the list will have to back out. Ill start a stand by list too.
