Sierra Chapter Deer Valley Run - June 26 - June 28

Is this run open to non-XJ's? I've got a couple of buds in TJ's that may want to go. We can definately help with the ribs and ...

As a side note, isn't it amazing how much this trail has changed over the years? I've got pics of me (pre-digital) doing this trail in 91' (when the heep still shined) and for the most part it's a lot of dirt and a few rocky spots!

Yup - all are welcome. One of my buddy's coming along has a Tj and the other has a Land Rover. :cheers:

I ran this trail with my brother probably a good 15 years ago and yeah it has changed a bunch. I have been running it at least once a year for the past 4 years.

The only downer I ahve noticed the last couple of years is we usually end up packing out a couple garbage bags full of junk we pick up off the trail....
 
Some of us from reno,nv are come up. This will be the first time i will have done a run with you guy's. Looks like it will be fun.
 
Total noob here!
I've got a 99 with a 2" BB on 30" MTRs, other than that and front and rear recovery points, I'm stock.
I know the post says 3" and 31" at least. Do you think I can swing it?

If you had at least limited slip in the rear then I would say no problem. But with the size lift & tires with no locker you would scrape and bump on a whole lot. If you can get another inch of lift and at least a limited slip in the rear you would be good.
 
I haven't been able to make any runs yet due to college/work/money. Now that I am done with college (Cal Poly SLO) the only real obstacle is work. Hopefully I will be able to make this one. It would be nice to wheel with a bunch of XJs.
 
SharkXJ, good to meet you this weekend in San Jose. I'm pretty sure that me and my old man are coming on this trip - he'll be bringing his YJ.
 
Thanks for replying Ed. The bathrooms are actually not bad. There is no running water and no electrical at the camp sites. The trail is only a few miles from Bear Valley. If she doesn't want to camp I believe you guys could stay there and just meet us at the trail head.
