That would be great if you could make it Gary! It would be nice to meet you. The trails we're looking at are all real close to the Rubicon. This is as close as I could get from memory on the map. This should be right about where the fun stuff starts. http://goo.gl/maps/pSx2

Tow points front and rear would be an absolute must. Even so, with only 31s and no lockers, unless you're a really experienced driver in the snow, you're going to be stuck a lot.

I will have to pass then, I wont have the 8.8 and locker installed for awhile, I will be on a heavy overtime job for the next few months. Have fun fellas
Someday I will be able to come play in the snow with you guys. Caught some weird bug last week and wasn't able to go to pick n pull to grab the tow brackets I saw. IF I can run out there this week and snag a set and get them installed, I'll update here.
Gary- Welcome the site man, everyone on the sierra chapter is friendly and helpful. Think I have actually saw your rig a few days ago. Color and lack of flares seem familiar with one I saw on Mchenry.
I should be able to make this, but im hesitant. First snow run this season for me = Broken front Ring and pinion, second snow run = broken teralow.. both are fixed but I think im over breaking stuff in the snow. I will think about it.

Most likely was me, my G/F lives right off of McHerny near that new Inshape.
I cruised up to La Grange today to try out my new wrangler authorities on something other than pavement, I wasn't there 5 minus and had to pull a Durango out, burried to the rockers in a mud hole!

It really wasn't bad. Few muddy spots, I just wanted to fart around for a hour or so but I didn't even get to wheel much because that truck wouldn't start once I jerked it out of it's hole. I did however come to the conclusion that my shocks are toast, next mod for me is new springs and shocks! 1 or 2" lift coils up front. Rebuild my stock leafs in the back and some bilstein 5150's all the way around!
Well I think im going to trust Billy with his luck and come along. Anyways third times a charm. trying to get my buddy to bring his xj(stroker,4.5",32"s) and my other buddy might bring his 2dr tahoe.

The absolute minimum requirements should be front and rear tow points and a shovel. 31's + would be good, a locker or two would be better. Snow wheelin' experience goes a long way too though.
I heard Uncle Tom's doesn't have much snow. If I can confirm that, we'll probably go somewhere else up that way.
You guys ok meeting at the McDonalds at Sunrise and Zinfandel (across from In-n-Out) right off of Hwy 50?
Ok its official... I'm not gonna be able to go. =[. sorry guys. The boss told me I can go to any trip after this, just we have supercross tickets that day and she really wants to go. Hope everyone has fun.
I'm not sure yet man. I can't find anybody that can say w/ any certainty where we'll find snow! I hear Wentworth Springs, Uncle Tom's, Airport Flats, Morman Emmigrant, and Iron Mtn are all slush/ice/dry! Do you know of anybody that may have been up 50 recently?
Billy
was gonna just sneek up there and meet you guys but I am still sick so I wont make this run. Looks like it wont be much fun without snow anyways. Hope you guys have fun anyways.
