don't forget to pack a lunch.
start thinking of a trail we haven't done yet , maybe on the new side.
-
I'm in....
-
Hmmm, I can't think of an excuse to back out of this one. I'm gonna need to borrow some big girl panties.
-
I can't miss this, it is always an adventure ;D
-
Yep, I'll be attending...YEP, YEP, YEP
Where can I shop for BIG girl panties...?
-
Lori and I will be there.
-
Sounds good
-
Well you know I am in. But I only have big BOY underware. >:D
-
Just looked at calender, thats the day we leave for Key Largo. Maybe next one.
-
Oh man it wont be the same without you Ron!
-
A week earlier would be good.
-
As far as I know, I'm in. Great way to test out the new rig. I won't be wearing any 'big girl panties', but am thinking about wearing some diapers instead - I've never done black before. ;)
-
Cool Bryan I am glad you are going to make it.
-
Just keep me upright Jenn! ;D
-
Bryan you are a great driver and don't give yourself enough credit! You will be fine just don't follow Colli.....lol :P
-
LOL! I was gonna say just don't follow Jenn! ;D But yes Bryan you will be fine with your 37s and lockers while I am just trying to keep up in my wee little Jeep with open fronts. It should be an adventure! Can't wait!
-
All it takes to "wheel" black trails with open diffs is driving skills...You have em Coli...You'll be fine.
You all enjoy your day. I have to work but will be thinking of you all.
-
As they say - it's 40% Jeep and 60% driver. Guess I'll only be making it 40% of the way! :o Seriously, sorry we're gonna miss seeing you out there Rick.
-
Only Dan uses lockers all the time. The rest of us use SKILLS ;D
-
What the heck Mike...I expect that from the Carnage Queen, but not from you...
-
That's hillarious!! Good one Mike! :D See you Saturday Lockers! ;D
-
What the heck Mike...I expect that from the Carnage Queen, but not from you...
Jenn's rules "Lockers on only when you need them NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE THEM"
-
This coming from the man who has Detroit Lockers in his jeep....arn't they on all the time??
-
I guess you don’t know what that whistling sound is that comes from my jeep occasional if your ABRs are always on.
-
Hummm...I remember the ratcheting noise coming from ur jeep...u must have made some changes.
-
Lmao Mike good one.....poor Lockers hes always hearing it!
-
Hummm...I remember the ratcheting noise coming from ur jeep...u must have made some changes.
That was my teeth chattering from being off camber, and yes I do get scared when Lori drives on the black trails and that is when you will hear screeching
-
Lol Lori is a good driver.....she did well on those trails for the women ride...but I did here I little chattering at some point. But what makes it great is she didn't have to use lockers .....lol
-
Just had the Rock Krawler HD Steering Kit installed today (beefier tie rod, etc.). Was telling the guys where/what I was doing Saturday and one chimed in and said "Oh, I rolled my Jeep there". :o Okay, so NOW I'm REALLY getting cold feet! I've spent the last 2 weeks installing diff skids, rear corner guards, new bumpers/winch, fender flares, rock sliders, etc (all by myself!). I think the Jeep is ready . . . . me on the other hand . . . .
-
Don't get cold feet Bryan. That guy was probably doing something stupid. We would never do that. The "Carnage Queen" wouldn't lead us astray. :D
-
Bryan - you don't know the situation of how he rolled and what trail and how much wheeling experience he has. Don't worry I am not going to get you into a situation that would make you uncomfortable or roll. I have been doing this for a long time and never rolled.
-
Jenn - you know I always feel safe with you in the lead. ;D I actually think he was doing reds when he rolled. And besides, you know me - always second guessing myself! I'm really looking forward to it. Really!
-
If you feel uncomfortable doing something ASK FOR HELP! Jenn has got me out of off camber situations a bunch of times without a problem.
And yes I have seen cars on there lid on a flat road so you can roll anywhere.
I put my jeep on its side at the entrance of a trail in Rhode Island because I DID NOT ASK FOR A SPOTTER Clicky for Pic's (http://s16.beta.photobucket.com/user/JeepFreakMike/media/Florida%20Vacation%202005/5-1.jpg.html?sort=6&o=2#/user/JeepFreakMike/media/Florida%20Vacation%202005/4.jpg.html?sort=6&o=0&_suid=135308997967805616770652959493/) . It was my first trail ride in my jeep. I misjudged where I placed my tires.
So it can happen you just got to know when to stop and ask for help!
-
Trust me Mike, I know when to ask for help and will do so as Jenn can verify - right Jenn? ;) This is just my first time doing blacks. I'm also gonna be in a Jeep (TJ) that I've never taken out before. I'm used to wheeling in my JK Unlimited (sold it), so the footprint I'm used to is very different. So yeah, I'm probably being a bit more paranoid than usual. LOL
-
Jeep loaded on trailer - check
Lunch packed - check
Camera batteries charged - check
Now where did I put those big girl panties.... ???

Had 7 Jeeps for the ride today,then had a guy in a bronco join us to make 8. It was pretty warm day for November. We ran trail 13,16 and 20.We had a few small issues today...Jim had a tire pop a bead and we spent a good part of the morning trying to reseat the bead, we endend up calling Kyle and he was nice enough to bring us some supplies and we didn't have to run back to the office.(THANKS again). Once Jim's tire was fixed we headed down the rest of 13, finished 16 and the guy in the bronco broke a break caliper and snapping the break line. Dave got him fixed up and he went back to the parking lot. The rest of us traveled down trail 20. Chris kept having a day where he wanted to hang up on rocks so there was some tugging and some winching. Jim made it up pitman rock and Dan was pretty close to making it. When we made it back yo the parking lot it was dark, Wayne had a problem with the ball on the reciever being to small for the trailer so he went down the road and ended up finding a walmart and getting what he needed. Meanwhile we had to put the spare on Bryan's jeep because he somehow pinched a valve stem shut. I am sure I am forgetting something, it was just a day of small things wrong. Nevertheless we still had a great day full of good conversation. Cant wait yo do it again!

It was an awesome day for my first black trail ride... even though I found out I have been on black trails before and just didn't know it. Anyway, it was a great group and I had a great time even during the time we spent just hanging out it in the woods. Here are my pictures from the day:
