Nice pics Pat, looks like I need a traction bar.

The bogger's are 37's, the beadlocks are weld ons with a custom paint job.

i beleive there is a write up about it and I plan on making one once I get my outlet for my welder done.

Nice Pics! Widowmaker is a hard trail. I think I also saw some pics of you coming up 'Slider'. I spent 2 hours trying to make it up with no luck. It looks like you all did fine. I cannot wait to get out there this year.

Next ride is .... whenever anybody makes it out/down here. There are more pix. running around and more to be posted of what these boys missed as soon as I can get them sorted/compiled. Look for the thread in the MWC "This past weekend"

Where are those trails at? I go to slade all the time to backpack but dont wheel with anyone that knows where the trail heads are.

 

[ren]

We don't go through Slade. We go in through Bowen. As for the Widowmaker, it is one of those "so obvious that you don't see it" trail heads. When are you coming back down here? I don't mind playing guide for people.

 

[xj joey]

We come down once a month i would say. Maybe coming down on the weekend of June 15th-17th. i need to get my freeze out plug on the back of the head fixed first. damn thing had a hole rust thru it and now it leaks coolant like crazy.

big thanks to GeneMJ for the handywork on the camera.

on the rack, i had a write up at one time. it seems that it got erased in one of the website revamps/downtimes/whatever.

if you want to know anything specific, ask away.
