KRONIK
February 1st, 2011, 22:20
i want to get the jeep all dialed in for spring and i want to plan another run at ram off road park to make sure the jeep is gonna be trail worthy. and have a good day wheelin of course. im thinking mid to end of feb.

last time was a great time, i think a run in February would be better than last time because of the heat we dealt with.

any interest?
more rigs= more fun!!!

right on! hope you can make it!
Ive never been so I should be in. Just keep updating this to remind me
nice!!! its pretty much, everything from easy to extreme!
perfect for getting your rig tuned up for the trails this season!
the best part is having the freedom of doing whatever we want wherever we want!
if we see a line we want to take, we go for it!
no tread lightly rules apply at the offroad park!:spin1:

it should make for a good time!

I ordered the Source adjustable regulator. It just wasn't in stock where I ordered it. They should be sending it my way tomorrow or Monday. I don't necessarily need it to make the trip, but it would be nice to test out the ARB if I had it.

A lady in my interpersonal com. class might join with her TJ. havent seen the TJ at all but she is super chill so would be cool to have her come out.

gotcha!
you will probably want lockers for the trip! you dont have to have them but you probably wont be doing everything.... still plenty of lines to take!

yours at least work without the regulator right?

last time my rear locker was the only one engaging. this time i got front and rear WORKING lockers! im excited.. lol

word! marhya isnt very female friendly. lol. but if shes "chill" things should be aight! hahaha




i talked to ray at ram today and told him we should have about 5 rigs coming for sure mabe a couple more.

told him we would be there at about 10am.
we have to park up front. go in and pay and sign the release.

its 20 bucks per rig,(rig = per jeep)trucks and trailers dont count.
and EVERYONE has to sign the release.
then we are good to go! :sunshine:

You must have never wheeled with Jim. He likes to forget his hearing aids and then go the opposite way that you are spotting him. The skids and sliders on his old rig really took a beating!

KRONIK
February 25th, 2011, 14:41
lol! gotcha!
someone needs to get a hold of him sunday morning to remind him! :eyes:
last time i pretty much laid my jeep onto its side going through an obstacle but the walls are pretty sandy. i got a couple scratches but no dents...
most of the obstacles can be done safely and slowly.
not all but most... haha
and for the most part, there are different lines for the same obstacle.

berra was pretty crazy when he was there. he really had to push his 2 door on almost every obstacle.
so as long as you are above stock, you will make it just fine!
i got a winch if anyone needs a little help...

we were able to take different lines last time and for the most part we stayed together!

if i drop to 15 or 20 will i be good?

ya the kevlars are too hard to turn below 4psi, but around 6-8 they are great i think.

you should be golden @15psi :thumbup:
they will be a completely different tire too :guitar:
