Rockin' XJ Jamboree....trails

[Goatman]

Trying to finish up planning runs for Sat, and maybe Sun. Post up what you'd like to run.....easy, moderate, or hard. Also, if you have a trail preference, something you'd like to run, post it up.

I have a route for the easy run. The moderate will likely be a combination of Lower Big Johnson and Clawhammer, depending on how many rigs will be on the run. We'll do two moderate runs if we need to, it would be better to have two runs than one big one so everyone gets a better chance to wheel and have fun.

The hard run will probably be Sledgehammer, and we'll add Jackhammer if there's enough for two runs.

So, post up what you'd like to run.

Easy for this old man, but I'd like to watch some of the "REAL" wheeling also.

[Gerr]

as long as the easy isnt boring thats where the wife and I will be. will the easy have some spots for those wanting to try them?

[4xSanta]

Anything thats doable with full body and a sunday morning run would be great! See ya friday afternoon.

[JohnX]

LBJ and Claw sounds like me. Nothing on Sunday, probably roll out as soon as I wake up.

sounds like me as well... depending on how the weekend goes... I might want to try and make it to the mailbox... :D

[djblade311]

I'll stick to the Easier trails since I have never actually wheeled them myself. I might contemplate LBJ but wanna have stress free fun. lol.

[jjmat3]

I will be looking for easy as I am scouting for a New Years day run our KJ club does every year. Would be great to be able to see some tough stuff too though. Now hopefully I can make it.

[Goatman]

The easy trail will be doable, but interesting enough that everyone should be happy. Plus, there will be a few options for those interested. We should have plenty of time to go watch the harder trails in the afternoon.

What time will the easy run start and where?

Run's strart on Sat morning at 8:00AM sharp.

We all will meet in the drylake bed next to camp.

[Jeepsterboy101]

LBJ and Claw for me please.

[Matt S.]

Rich, disregard my PM with trail ideas.

I would LOVE to hit BOTH the Hammers on Saturday. I wouldnt be opposed to getting a small group of 3 or 4 that want to fly through one hammer then play catch up on the opposite one.

Anyone up for that?

I have never been on any of the trails out there. The easy runs sounds fun and hopefully I will have my early xmas present to my self installed (4.5 RE) to test out. I am only about 45 min away from JV (Hesperia) who should I look for Friday after I get off of work?

Look for lifted jeeps on trailers :D

Drive down Boone Rd to the lakebed and you won't be able to miss us. There will be plenty of XJ's along with XJ derived buggies and other rigs.

Mmmm Xj derived buggies...

If I do a moderate run will I still be able to have time to watch the XJ's on the hammers?

[Brendan_91XJ]

I am thinking easy/moderate... What are the requirements for the moderate?
I have 3.5 lift running 33's and locked in the back

[shelbyluvv]

You can do LBJ with 33's and one locker but you will be building a lot of roads (stacking) and possibly winching. It was done last year by a XJ on 33's and open/open. It was a looooooooong day. I walked right threw it with my Jeep on 35s and dual lockers. You will need rails for this trail as well unless you do not care about the body.

[Brendan_91XJ]

I am reasonable well armored, rails, X-fer case, gas...
Wish I had the cash to get the pumpkins armor, maybe next year.

[mattyj]

anyone have any pics handy of some of the trails in JV?

wow, some awesome shots in there. Just spent the last 1/2 hour checking some out.:worship: Those trails look burly!

hoping for my sake there are some slightly easier trails there. Dont think my rig is up to that stuff yet!

[Goatman]

Here is what's shaping up. We will have an easy run that could be a challenge in places for a rig with small tires and open/open diffs, and should be fun. We're going to have two moderate runs, one for the one locker gang and another harder run for those with dual lockers but who don't want to tackle the real hard stuff or who don't have stout aftermarket axles. So, we'll have an easy/moderate run and a hard/moderate run.

It also looks like we're going to have two hard runs, since we'll have enough rigs for it. Please be prepared to get placed in a run if needed. It will be more fun for you and for everyone if your equipment is matched to the trail.

Please be lined up before 8:00 am on Sat morning, so we can make sure everyone gets on the proper run. No matter what trail you run out there, including the easy run, there's no way to predict what might happen, so it's important to get started right away in the morning. If things go well, then there will be time in the afternoon to meet up with other runs and watch, or go back to camp and relax.

We don't usually run the easier stuff out there, so there is stuff besides what's in those pics. But, if you want to run the hard stuff, there is plenty of it to run.

Shouldn't be a problem for everyone to have a great time no matter what you're prepared to run.

[Rawbrown]

If thats the only hard trails on saturday then I'd follow you.
Didn't know if there was going to be a WB run or jackback or BD, outerlimits run or what. I'll jump in on any hardcore run on saturday. preferably the one with less rigs...

[Goatman]

The way it's shaping up, we will definitely need two hard runs on Sat, and probably three.

This is going to be fun...... :D

You can run whatever trail you're willing to let me pull you off of. With the new rig.......that could be fun.
