Looks like Jeepstock will either by at the Bison Ranch or Washita this year ( Just my guess )

Anyone that wants to get together for a trip just let me know. If I am available i will make it,
I can't go to flatnasty anymore do to not have phone service. I definatley need to get out in August before I am band from wheeling until January.

That would be fine with me if I am not out of town for work.

For those that have never been to Washita and are looking for that next new thing to do to the Jeep

Think armor Skidding your Evap Canister or relocating it is a very good idea. Also some rock rails and some skids plates are very useful.

You don't need any of these things to have a good time but every little bit helps since it is so rocky. Washita can be tough in places but it is a great place to off road.

See you guys there

We usually leave around 7 ish from 55 & Merramac Bottom Rd . If you want to eat a big breakfast there is a Cracker Barrel right there.

I can't emphasize enough the need for skids at this place. My trip with Dawg and Dedduc in April was awesome but I smashed alot of stuff. 35's would help that. You guys with stock size tires may hit the tie rod and steering stablizer. Lower control arm mounts are low on JKs and do get hit some but not too bad. Not to scare anyone...but it is not stocker friendly.

I wish I could go...maybe Oct. or Nov.
