Default April showers, May flowers...Bison Ranch

Just wanted to post up and let everyone know that I am trying to get a run to Sayersbrook Bison Ranch on April 26th(sunday). I have contacted the Ranch and the date is still open. Hopefully my brother will be in town for that day and he can go with me also. I will need a committed 20 jeeps for this to happen by the 20th. I know this is short notice. If you are wanting/going to make this please post up so that I can get a jeep count.

How long of a day would this be?

New lift is going on the week before...will be down withiin a couple of hours of there on Saturday in Illinois...short hop over for Sunday...but 7 hour trip home....so just trying to see if this would be doable given the need for the wife and I to be back home Monday morning for work.

It normally starts at 9:00 and ends at 5:00 but you could leave whenever. Some stay for the morning and leave at lunch. The trails are easy to get out of so don't feel like you will get lost. I have been there 3 times and I am thinking of going back but we will have to see.

Well, that sounds doable....would put us back home Sunday night/early Monday morning.

My only issue would be all of the older lift kit parts that would be in the back of the Jeep (Old Man Emu springs, shocks, FT front/rear adjustable track bars, RC dual steering stabilizer and the Mopar rock rails) that are being upgraded....won't have time to run home and then back with them....so potential headache there.

Any possibility of short term storage that day somewhere safe on the ranch Marvin that I could unload them for the trails, and then load them back up for the trip home?

That is of course if they all end making the trip home...always a possibility someone might want to pick up some used parts cheap.

I will take the rock rails off your hands that will free up some room

They are really nice down there so I am sure they would have a spot to stash them while we wheel. Marvin knows them better than I do.
