The fastest way from the TC is HWY 7, take it west til you get to Appleton. When you get to the hotel (which is right off of 7) they will be able to direct you to the ORV Park, I think its about 1-2 miles from the hotel/Appleton's downtown.

here's is what i've compiled so far...

Sat. 2/25
snopro (overnight/)
OohSeven (overnight/)
scamp_71 (overnight/)
runnin-low +1 (overnight/)

Sun. 2/26
snopro
OohSeven
scamp_71
runnin-low +1
RodRecket (overnight/ preceding evening potentially)

Hotel: http://www.prairiewatersinn.com/ I'll make a call to the proprietor and see what kind of deals he'd be up for.
Food, fun n games: Shooters bar in Appleton within walking distance to hotel

Meet up Sat. 2/25 about 9-10 a.m. at the park. Wheel all day Sat. and stay overnight and do a 1/2 day Sunday and head home.

As far as what to bring that I suppose is up to you. Probably the basics as has been previously listed and as long as someone has a winch we should be ok if a rig were to really get into a pickle.

How much Honey...well I guess that depends on how much headache you want to deal with the next day, haha!

yeah that turned out really nice, I love rattle can bed liner, it seems to work really good for me. (I assume you used that to finish it like the other guy did?)

Yep blends perfectly. Re-used the stocker light so i wouldnt have to mess with wiring at all and it was cheaper. Like 5 or 6 bucks in hardware and 5 more for the bedliner paint

Decided to kick it in the ass after work today and get going on my wrenchin' instead of tomorrow. Got my JKU Rubi coils (18/59) installed and the Northridge TB & LCA bolt kit on too. Happy to report it netted 1.25" up front and 1" out back. Pair that with my TF leveling kit and she's sitting a little over 2" taller overall than when I got her

Edit: Took the Jeep out for a spin today running some errands around town and I think it rides a lot better than on the stock X coils. Pretty happy with it. Only problem now is it's beggin' for some 35's!
