M&G trail run- April 23 - ER

[in4aride]

Saw FrankZ had mentioned it, thought it was a good idea. Easy trail so "anyone" can join in.

Eagle Rock (maybe saran wrap) on the 23rd. pre or post M&G. i think a night run would be better since trails can take longer than expected and ER at night is more fun.

let me know your preference and if you would want to join.....

[Rockken]

If I'm in Colorado that weekend I'm in.

[KRONIK]

How long of a drive is it from the M&G?
If it's not too far, I will have tonjoin you on this run. I have never been there!

[in4aride]

the road to it is behind the broadmore.
road starts less than 2 miles form M&G
trail starts about 12 miles up that road

[KRONIK]

Which road? Oldstage?

[in4aride]

chyup

[KRONIK]

Sweet! I'm down for a sunset run!
I got the light thing covered! Lol

[in4aride]

its fun up there at night i think. make it more interesting. plus people are less likely to take forever BSing-more inclined to keep wheeling and get back down the hill lol

[KRONIK]

i think if we get to the M&G at 11, get it started by 12. we could leave by 5. be on the trail by 5:30 or so. we would be coming back right as it gets completely dark!
what do you think?

[in4aride]

M&G in the early afternoon/evening, then trail late evening/night.....

[KRONIK]

M&G in the early afternoon/evening, then trail late evening/night.....
sounds good!!!

[dotcom]

i would like to tag along but the xj is not wheelable yet so id be bringing the ..... toyota ..... lol so if thats ok and you guys wont egg the truck let me know

[in4aride]

its all good to me. as long as you can run it who cares what the emblem is

[Rockken]

So it looks like we have an evening run, anybody down for a before the m&g run. Being from the north side of Denver, I would rather run it during the day so I can drive home afterward. Besides Kronik there is going to be a big hunk of a crushed car that will need to be cleaned up. I'm betting it'll be closer to 8pm before you'll be ready for the run.

true story! i may have to pass on the run!
i may be able to get the car to my house, but i wont be able to take it down to the M&G, especially with the jeep....

hopefully i will get to run the 17th.... my front end needs broken down. and new wheel bearings and something done with my axle shafts.......i dont know if i can do it on my own so we will see.

[in4aride]

I'm in for a day run. Just didn't know if anyone wanted to do that. :dunno:
I'm just down for some wheeling.

[DutchVDub]

I'm down either before or after, but with the drive I'll have to male to get down there I think it would be easier before. Either way is fine though. I have ran eagle rock / Saran wrap if forever and theyre definitely fun trail.

[in4aride]

what time would you folks want to run it during the day?

[jimgrms]

I'm down for a day run if we leave at 8:30 ish we will be back by noon er is cake
:>{)))

[in4aride]

haha Jim, you did kill it the last trip up there

[Rockken]

I was thinking around 10 am, but could be convenced to come down earlier.

[in4aride]

I was thinking around 10 am, but could be convenced to come down earlier.
thats actually the timeframe i was thinkin. meet at the HD at 930 and head up

[DutchVDub]

That won't leave a lot of time to make it to the GTG if it starts at noon. Why not meet at the HD around 8:30?

[in4aride]

im down either way. looks like itll be a small group so it should go pretty quick

[Rockken]

8:30am will work. Where are we going to meet?

[in4aride]

home depot parking lot on stage coach/lake

[Rockken]

Do you mean the one on Southgate and Lake?

SW Colorado Springs #1518
2250 Southgate Rd
Colorado Springs, CO 80906

Yeah. That's the one!

[Kiefer316]

I'm down for what ever. Unless I have work that day. We will see though.

[DutchVDub]

Got a baby sitter, trailer, and truck all lined up for it. I'll see you guys at the HD at 0830.

[xjcase]

Man that's early... but I'll be down there at 8:30

[DutchVDub]

Tell me about it, it's an easy 1.5 - 2 hr drive for me.

[xjcase]

Meet at University and i-25?

[DutchVDub]

Yeah, that could work.

[in4aride]

awesome. should be a fun lil trip

[rokinxj94]

Looks like I have that Saturday off! Im gonna plan on meeting you guys at the HD for the ER run!!

[in4aride]

Gonna be fun. Buncha big rigs on a little trail :)

I'll be there pending jeep being alive post patriot.

[KRONIK]

pshhh....

35's are for bums :gag:

[90XJGirl]

I though about but then I would want a different front axle... and this 30 is set up nice. Plus I'm pretty much out of money since I just bought this thing. All in time

[in4aride]

30 on 35's is golden

[RidgeRunnerXJ]

Is there still a late run going after the M&G?

[DutchVDub]

I'd be down for a night run as well, why not do both. :D

Seriously though, we could run them 1 direction in the morning and then the other direction in the evening.

[manifoldcookindad]

I have a child exchange 8am 4/23 in the firestone / dacono area. If possible can we schedule a late run as well as day run?

[in4aride]

[fireLt.]

I might be able to make a morning run depending on what time you start. I got a long drive to get there.

[DutchVDub]

The plan is for a morning run up Saran/Eagle Rock. Meet at the Home Depot at 0830 (that's the AM for you civies) and unload/gather up. Then we head up the road to the trail.

Since some guys can't make the AM trip we were talking about also doing a night run after the GTG/MnG. I'm down for both as is the guy towing me down there.

To simplify things post up if you can make it and what run (AM, PM, or Both) you are participating in. If needed I'll start a new thread but I don't think it's really all that confusing.

Participants:
DutchVDub - Both (1 rig, 2 ppl)

[rokinxj94]

i dunno. im out.. so dont plan on me for anything.......

Mike if ya want to ride with me you can I will have a seat open.

AM run for sure, probably both. (1 Rig)

Any thing is confusing to this group)))

What's the deal Mike, slap a headlight in your heep and come out. I'll be in a topless and windshield less rig and the weather ain't stopping me. You're not turning Mall Crawler on us now are you? Oh I know, you won't make it because you're trying to score some 20's for your rig. :)

[jimgrms]

all depends on the weather for me

[DutchVDub]

How does weather matter when you've got doors, windows, a roof, working heat, and leather seats? All those frivolous luxuries and you're worried about a little rain?

[KRONIK]

ill be sitting at culvers waiting for everyone............:tear:

[KRONIK]

35's are for guys with a small penis. Mine are on order.
i sold you the rubbers that were too SMALL for me...
what does that say about you? :wave:





P.s. you bought used rubbers!!! hahaha

[.40CalPatriot]

Sounds like Scott to me!

The weather meaning ice and snow on the trail,

[rokinxj94]

Should make it more fun! Some friends were up there on Monday and said its pretty washed out and still some snow.

[rokinxj94]

I dont have any of that stuff, well maybe a little heat....lol. o well it will still be fun!

[DutchVDub]

I dont have any of that stuff, well maybe a little heat....lol. o well it will still be fun!

Yeah, my source of heat is the exhaust that is tucked up within 2" of my floor. I don't think it'll cut it. I'm actually excited, I grabbed my Gortex Coat and Pants tonight from the Armory and I'm bringing my snow boarding coat as well. Should be a pretty chill. :D

[in4aride]

id join, but i dont think i could drive the jeep there without getting pulled over 100 times

[KRONIK]

id join, but i dont think i could drive the jeep there without getting pulled over 100 times
how was the drive back from penrose? did you get home before the sun went down?:gag:

[.40CalPatriot]

If I can do some work to the heep before then I will be in for the morning run.

I dont think I am going to get the work done unless I find a garage tonight. But whatever I am in regardless.

Ken, you want to caravan from our end to meet Dutch somewhere on 25?

[in4aride]

No was dark halfway back. Jeep drive fine just missing some lights. :D

Just tape some flashlights to the remains of your from bumper and you'll be fine. :)

Do you just need some headlights? I have spares I can bring down for you.

he needs more of a full front end! haha. it broke in half and JD had to cut the wires ... id say he has about 20% of his front end left. :D

[90XJGirl]

Sooo I'm completely lost. What time are we running ER? Are we doing a meet & greet? If so what time is it? Are we even doin a night run??

[.40CalPatriot]

Keri,
See the quote below for the morning run.

The meet and greet is on at Culvers for 12.
Here is the thread link. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1059360
As far as a night run I believe a few want to do one but it will probably be more official as people talk about it during the meet and greet.

The plan is for a morning run up Saran/Eagle Rock. Meet at the Home Depot at 0830 (that's the AM for you civies) and unload/gather up. Then we head up the road to the trail.

[DutchVDub]

With us not having a car crush to clean up afterwards I can definitely see a Evening run being very likely.

0830 @ Home Depot for the AM run
1200 @ Culvers for the MnG
???? @ Home Depot for a PM run (time to be determined at the MnG if indeed we do an evening run)

Looks like we've got about 6 rigs for the AM run thus far.

Kerri, I talked to Matt and he said you like to baby your rig. You sure you want to get it all muddy? :D

[90XJGirl]

Hahaha very funny yeah this will be my first run with the red one (new) but the grey two door has been out a lot that one isn't as nice. Only thing I'm worried about is the red one still has stock steering... other then that mudd I'm ok with I work at a detail shop :-)

[YELLAHEEP]

I'm planning on being at the Home Depot at 8:30 for the run, then M&G after. Dunno that I'll do the night run.

[DutchVDub]

Are you bringing the Compensator??!!! :D

[.40CalPatriot]

Are you bringing the Compensator??!!! :D


Why do you ask? Do you want to see whos is bigger?:confused1

[xjcase]

I see your schwartz is as big as mine....

[.40CalPatriot]

.....but how well can you handle it.......

[xjcase]

so.... heading down from Denver on CB channel 24.


candycane... is that you candycane?

[Rockken]

I dont think I am going to get the work done unless I find a garage tonight. But whatever I am in regardless.

Ken, you want to caravan from our end to meet Dutch somewhere on 25?

Sure, what time and where do you want to meet? Somewhere around 36th and Sheridan should work well for both of us.

[flingshot]

Dude,
For future reference, my garage is yours anytime you need it. Sorry i didn't see this earlier.

[.40CalPatriot]

Sure, what time and where do you want to meet? Somewhere around 36th and Sheridan should work well for both of us.

I have no clue where we are going. You decide time. Meet up at my place since I am right on 36?

Dude,
For future reference, my garage is yours anytime you need it. Sorry i didn't see this earlier.

Thanks! No big issue this time, just, need a new tranny mount, and this wind we have had lately is crappy to work in.

[Fred]

Wind, freaking babies! Hinson and I swapped front and rear axles in the middle of a snowstorm in front of my house.

[xjcase]

A little late notice on this but does anyone think a grand Cherokee with a 2.5" and 32s open/open be able to run ER? I'm trying to get my girlfriend to come along and drive her wj

[in4aride]

sliders? recovery points?

weve gotten through stock a few times. but the first main hill might smack her rockers. otherwise its pretty mellow and supposedly got a lil paved.....

[in4aride]

FWIW ER might get a lil busy tomorrow around noon

[Rockken]

I have no clue where we are going. You decide time. Meet up at my place since I am right on 36?
It's going to take about an hour and a half to get there. How about I meet you at 7am at your place. Pm me your address.

[.40CalPatriot]

Ken, you already forgot where I live. Madison Hill across from the mall remember?

[DutchVDub]

Why do you ask? Do you want to see whos is bigger?:confused1


What does that mean? :dunno:

It's going to take about an hour and a half to get there. How about I meet you at 7am at your place. Pm me your address.

Hey guys, if you want to meet up enroute we can no problem.

As said, I'm leaving my house about 0645. Just give me a call when you get near I-25 and we can figure out a meet spot. I know the Shell on 104th right there next to O'meara Ford is convienant.

303-249-9028

[.40CalPatriot]

Rich we will be getting on 25 from highway 36. also we may be meeting chad jeepfreak on the way as well

[KRONIK]

i will be crawling the culvers parking lot while all of you are on the trail......
good news is, mini xj will be attending. so i will be crawling the parking lot with it! lol

too bad i dont have a mini rti ramp....

[DutchVDub]

No worries, just give me a call when you guys hit I-25 then. I shouldn't be hard to miss anyways, just look for the giant cloud of diesel smoke. My buddies truck has been acting weird lately and I think its mainly an issue with carbon/soot build up on the EGR valve and the waste gate. My plan is to get that exhaust nice and hot with the load behind the truck to try and clean everything out. So if you get onto I-25 and it looks like the entire interstate is on fire thats probably me. :D

[90XJGirl]

ok so heads up might have an additional rig coming along if any one wants to meet me in castle rock on their way down, that way we can have a caravan :wave: going???! yes??? 720-530-8889 hit me up i will be up around 5 am!? xjcase?? dutch?? yella? :eek: and yes the pretty red xj is going and i will be getting her dirty thank you very much!:party: if not see everyone there!!

[xjcase]
