So will this Mountainside ORV place be much more difficult being wet since it looks like it's gonna rain the day before we go?

Naw...Theres way to run around where you can get thru without the winch...Just have to work it. some..... I have only been once, and that was on Labor day---RAINED all day,,,there was a spot the Wrangler did not want to climb, on slick rocks...But that was my fault,,,didn;t air down, and jeep was new, and didt have the rock rails i have now,,,,,It would have went up the road, If i would have pushed her a little bit.... Bu i believe we will have a good time...We can always make a way around////

Well I just moved from a maybe to a probably not... they got the axle shaft in this morning at the dealership, and then discovered that the CV joint on my Woods drive shaft is broken (and probably has been ever since installation, judging from the noise I've had that the place that installed the shaft "Couldn't seem to identify"... ...) Anyway, a local place can replace the broken parts and get it all put back together, but it may be monday before that happens. I mean, I could show up in 2WD locked... but it'd take a while to Winch up all of the trails... haha.

I'll know more tomorrow when the machine shop gets back to me...

Glad to hear you figured out what the noise was, sorry to hear you may not be able to make it. Hopefully it'll all work itself out nicely.

Does anybody have on board air that I could borrow to air the tires back up? Or how far would I have to drive to a gas station to air them back up after the ride. I was thinking with all the rain that I would wont to air them down now.

KennyB and JKBenB sorry to hear that you guys wont be able to make it anymore.

Bama JKX I am glad to see that you got your lift installed before the ride. I dont know if you ever got it but I sent you an email Monday to see when you were going to install it. Also I might have just seen you if you drove by the post office by the galleria at about 9:45.
