July Trail Ride
« on: July 07, 2009, 03:16:15 PM »
The trail ride is on for this coming Saturday, the 11th. It is about 2 hours to the trailhead from the Groton area. The plan is to meet at Rocket's house at 8am Saturday morning to convoy up there. Please post up if you plan on going so we can get a head count. If you need directions to Rocket's place you can send a pm to me or him. Let me know if there are any questions.

I'll be there!!!!

For the newer guys, what are the rig requirements?  I would guess 31's are ok, but not sure.

From what I understand 31s are the minimum rig requirements. Please ensure that you have a tow point front and rear as well as the other requirements as outlined by our club rules. I think this is a good run for the probies to get their feet wet.

Of course I'll be there! Make sure you are gassed up, pack a lunch, and bring all your trail tools/spares.

For probies, keep in mind that there is no guarenteed return time. A breakdown could keep us out there a lot longer than planned. Bring enough food/water to last.

The pics I have seen makes it look of rock crawling with several lines.  From what I could see, 31's are the min, but 33's and a locker are recomended as well as AAA ;).

gearhead1985, make sure you print out the waiver and bring it with you.  Also make sure you rig meets the requirements, tow hooks, spare tire, fire extinguisher, battery tie down etc.....  If you can't meet all the requirements send me a PM and we can see what can be done. 

I'm looking forward to seeing another YJ out on the trail ;D.

I've been reading some stuff over on EC4WDA and NEOW and from what I can gather 33s are suggested, but 31s are the minimum. The main trail is a lot of rock, but it's not the tall boulders that catch you from underneath a lot and in most places there are several lines to take. There are some offshoots from the main trail that may be more difficult, but I don't know if we'll get into those at all or not.
