Hi Guys,

Is anyone interested in running Swamp Lake Trail this coming month? If so please post up under Central Cal.

I know I mentioned that weekend in the other thread, but after today's rubicon run, I'm in need of a few parts. Not sure I'll make it.

I see you experienced some on the trail adventures. I completely understand. I have to double check all my bolts now after what you experienced.

I know a few of the guys were talking about doing Swamp Lake during the Norcal/Socal Rubi run back in early July. After that trip, I seriously still need to replace/beef up my rear shock mounts to the Evo's or Synergy's which require some cutting & welding. The stockers are completely mashed & grinded.

Probably won't get to it until early next year so any hard wheeling I'll sit on the sidelines for now but I hear Swamp Lake is a fun run.

I just put in the EVO Rockstars before we hit the Dusy a couple weeks ago. Great investment. I did have to extend my rear brakelines though to compensate for the added rear droop. No welding was involved but there was a bit of cutting/grinding/bending things into shape.

What Rob said. No welding is necessary with the EVO rear rock stars. Took a little bit of finesse but over all easy.

Swamp is a fun run for sure. See you next year.
