Boxrcon and I are makin a John Bull run this Sat 11th. A couple of TJ's are also runnin with us. Trailhead meeting time is TBD but sometime after a heafty Big Bear breakfeast.

 

Haven't been out since Swamp Lake. Gotta get out!!!!

 

Got A gig Sat ...................... Can't make it

 

watch your lockers on that trail i ate my rear locker there! Damn that is a great trail though what a view from 8k'

 

I was looking for something to do on Saturday.... but my rig ain't ready for that trail yet........

 

Yeah it's all about what your comfortable with. I've seen stock Ruby's run this trail and make it but it wasn't pretty. The trail is rated difficult, I would rate it med-diff due to the fact there are only a couple spots that generally give people problems, not the entire trail. Skids/Diff Covers are a minimum must in my opinion though.

 

I might agree... I think once I have BB and a little more experience... it would be fun. I am still on 32" X tires with only rock rails to protect me.

I have all the recovery gear, so getting stuck is no big, but breaking stuff would be a problem.

 

I am running 34"'s but 35"s actually would have made a difference. I would not recomend running this trail with 32"s. I do not have skids other than stockers but had to scrape her up a bit underneath. Control arm skids would have been awsome and diff skids or at least hd covers would have been a big help.

I will run this trail again but not till i beef up a bit. Watch keeping your locker engaged to much on the trail the turns get real tight and that will brake a stock locker no problem.

 

I am ready to throw down. What time estimated at the trail head?

 

I'm figuring sometime around 9-10. Kyle (XJ) has to bail out about 1pm so we should be fine with that time frame...maybe even pull a Gold Mtn. run after.
