RC trip Feb 24th

    a couple guys on NAXJA will be going up to RC on the 24th, most likely be greens and Blues as people get brave. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=907704 if it works out, this'll be the break-in ride for my XJ :)

    Gone- 2012 JK Rubicon with stuff. Long gone- Long-arm 2001 Cherokee with stuff.

    I just found out last night that Rockford sent me the wrong part for my CV. This means I still have yet to find a place that sells it. Might do the starter in the meantime but if I can't get 4WD back, can't make this trip >:(

    ok, I'm back... took my time at the Exxon and getting back to 476. damage for me, motor mounts! sheesh, talk about vibes. it was a fun trip, not sure what trails we ran or what they were rated since they were all covered in snow and ice, pretty easy for the most part, until we tried #46 "Big Moose", a new trail off Inner Spare Tire. Off camber plus ice minus winch... 3 hour recovery effort before giving up and calling the office for help. Everybody there was running 31" tires, myself and another guy were breaking in our lifts, and very pleased. :)


    The first trail we ran was the one DEJA cut! The entrance is where we finished cutting at, and the exit was down by the staging area, they extended the trail a bit. It's a lot easier than when we ran it, the tire-slicing hill has been widened and smoothed down, I hardly recognized it.

    That's awesome that you got to run that trail again! Were the off camber spots still there?

    where I twisted the unibody enough to lock the doors? :) no, they smoothed that out and the other spots, too. It was still narrow there, but not scary. It's probably rated a Green 2, as it's very close to the Bunny Loop.
