Yes, there's enough there to do a whole day, especially if the group is larger than 2-3 Jeeps.

9:30-10 is probably the best start time.

Later today, I'll post up the best meeting location by putting up a map.

Just after you cross the dam from Langley to Disney there's a right turn and a gravel parking lot that is the best place to meet up, air down, and disconnect.

I have a winch, multiple recovery straps/tree straps, snatch block, d-rings, so if you're a newbie and don't have all of these, no worries, between those of us that have gone in the past, we should have enough.

I can be there by 9 am to help any newbies air down/disconnect sway bars if they're not used to doing so.

Bring plenty of water to drink and maybe lunch, there is a convenience store close by, but there are a couple of cool places just off the trail where we can stop and eat.

****I can't state how much easier it is to wheel in a group like this if we all have a CB. I have my installed one, but if you don't want to "install" one and do an antenna etc., then they make some pretty cheap handheld battery powered ones (or with cig lighter plug) that would work well as we don't need a huge range on them, just close together range.

I have 2 of these said handheld cb's that i will bring and be glad to let someone use, so the 1st 2 people that are going and don't have a cb that post up that they want to borrow them, they can borrow them.

Wow, my Jeep looks so little in these pics, in these pics I was stock, now with 2.5 inch lift and 35s and new bumpers, it'll look alot different.

Thanks for the link. I was looking at the maps earlier and that looked like the best spot to meet up.

Also, those are some very valid points. Having a CB makes it a lot easier to stay in touch when wheeling in large groups. And from the looks of it, we'll have a decent sized group. I'll have a couple of tow straps, d-rings and the winch.

I'll plan on being there between 9 and 9:30 am if that works for everyone.

Awesome! Main list updated. And thanks for the map showing the trails and the difficulty levels. Seeing as I'm without lockers, it looks like about a Level 3 is as high as I might be able to go

Those that've been to Disney before, how hard are these trails? I've seen videos of the Waterfall before, and I know that's one for some seriously modded rigs.

Man I wish you guys were wheeling on Monday because I can't get Sunday off work. I'd come up from Pauls Valley! Have a great time though!

Understandable... When we find that rock that stumped JackMac's Rubi, I'll have to take some pics of it and send it his way to Colorado .

When do you plan on doing your fender mod? If you're cutting fenders, let me know since I plan on doing it as well. Maybe we can do it at the same time . Don't have Rubi Rails, but I do have my stock Sahara Steps if you want a spare set . But check Craigslist, I remember seeing a couple on there a while back.
