Sierrafest 13

Does deer valley include slick rock?

yes, we will setup a day trip to slickrock.
we will also do a night run up deer valley. :yelclap:
sierrafest is by far my favorite run of the year & this year will be another great party! party1:
 
Hell yeah. I'm stoked for this. Already asked for the days off at work haha. Hopefully I will be able to run Rubicon too
 
Dates are official:

Aug 5th through Aug 11th

5th - 7th = Rubicon
8th - 11th = Deer Valley

The Sierra Fest sub forum in the Events section is now open. I haven't started a thread about the Deer Valley Portion of the event yet because there are still things we are working out.

I'm in for the whole trip.

are you gonna have a jeep by then, or should I save a seat for ya? :D
 
I do the Con week too but on 31's????? I think I will wait.
 
skipper youll be fine on 31s dont stress about it, just wheel it. just like that movie 40 year virgin, you need to stop putting the con on a pedestal dude.

and as for the entire week, I already have the week off in october for Moab, but ill do my best to see if I can fly into the con late weds night perhaps and just take thursday and friday off and just meet up with you guys by wheeling all night , lots of red bull and multi vitamins and in and out cheeseburgers... can prolly make it from loon to buck from 11pm to 3am. ...

edit : I just saw you on the con 5-7, so coming up weds would have to be a straight through drive, hmmm. maybe just take friday off and meet ya all at DV instead. shoot.
 
I'm thinking :confused:

Skipper, yes you could take your XJ or any XJ through the 'Con on 31's and we've done it before. HOWEVER, as nice as your Jeep is, I would not feel comfortable taking it through on 31's. Not saying it isn't capable, but I would hate to see the damage you'd get.

I get damage every time I go through! (stupid Big Sluice...)
 
I've marked the calendar for the Rubicon portion, plus two other rigs.
 
I have heard that people have gone through the 'con with 31's and body/undercarriage protection. I have Tim's old 2x6 sliders, but need skids.
 
I did it on 33s open and stock gearing and i went home with a bent tie rod and a leaking rear diff and a couple of pin stripes on each side.. I feel like mine was a different story i go to loon lake at 930 at night and wheeled to the creek campground got there around 1 am and camped there. so i night wheeling the con my first time with open diffs and still drove it home

I think you made a better choice meeting up on Friday. :idea:
You are right Jon....I'm in to do the Rubicon too....I hope it is not my Waterloo
