I'm still trying to place faces with names and rigs. I went on the August(?) trail ride to the Pines with Whatevah. (96 green ZJ)

I think that was the one I had signed up for.. and completely forgot about until a day or two after.

This is what I wheel and a pic of me fixing stuff too just for reference sake:

Weather is turning out even better.. looking like high 50's and cloudy.

 

[YJay90]

Hey guys. Anyone mind if a YJ tags along? I was pointed over here from jeepin.com I am YJay90 there as well. The YJ has 3" and 33"s and is open. Jason

I can't make it, rig is down . Oh well, there's always next time

 

[tighttrailxj]

All are welcome. Show up at 9a.m., meet others, then get out and enjoy the forest.

Wiretie, did you have the ORVIS edition ZJ? If so, I have a pic that may shed light on what caused your electrical problem? Hint: it involves water showering you through an open sunroof. LOL Me and my gf were in the red 2door XJ. Hope you can make it.

Weather update:

Saturday: Partly sunny and breezy. Highs in the lower 70s. Southwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

WOW! It's JANUARY!

I am still good, also another buddy with his XJ is tagging along. He's locked in the rear, winch, etc.

For those with CB's I usually run on channel 4

 

[Rubicon-Man03]

Do you guys mind a couple of TJ's taging along?

 

[THalladay]

If I can get my rig past inspection tommorrow count me in.

 

[GhostDakota]

So how many rigs is this gonna be?? lol... last time we had like 18 and it was pretty hard to keep everyone together. Who all has CB's??

 

[YJay90]

I'll be there. My CB isn't working at the moment, but do have the Nextel direct conect if anyone else does. tighttrailxj , pm sent.

 

[GhostDakota]

Trying to get the GPS coordinates for the Atsion Ranger Station on 206 so we can Google Maps or Mapquest it. With the amount of times I've been there I should remember by now... I think I do, but just want to be sure.

 

[GhostDakota]

Mapquest link to the Ranger Station (Thanks Jerry!):

More updates I have 2 rigs from my work, Quadratec, coming now too. One is a 4 banger YJ, lifted, etc., and the other is a lifted '07 JK 2 door Rubicon! We just lifted the JK today and put a Warn bumper on yesterday. Should be fun!

 

[Rubicon-Man03]

I have Cb and GPS

 

[tighttrailxj]

Sounds great, we will be down there about 9am, hang around for a few minutes and head out. If anybody has problems on their ride in the morning, give me a call and let us know. Phone number at beginning of post.

I think there will be people down there to meet up with due to the weather.

 

[warpigxj]

going to be alot of people out there this weekend watch yourselfs. Also reports of the tractor tire trucks make holes backthere

 

[xmonger]

I'll definitely try to make it. Does anyone bring/use 2 -way radios? I haven't had a cb in years.

Actually, the tractor tire guys have been declining severely on state land. I know they have been getting hassled, I guess it's hard to justy 6 foot tires to a ranger.

 

[wiretie]

Just got home from work. Solved: the electrical problem = bring wife's Jeep! So I'll be there (and allowed home) if I detail the Jeep before returning it:shhh: John, just saw your post. Yeah, me and my buddy were the ones that got showered on. Note to self: don't listen to your buddy when he says, "It's a nice day, let's open the sunroof!"

May not be tractor tires but the larger locals have been out, just be careful around the popular spots.
