Who was it that was roof rack surfing on the wedged XJ (driving one of the many white XJs) boy that high lift was holding alot of weight. Thanks to Rollins (I believe) for the spoting. I'm glad Sequoia didn't turn around early in the day. Man ! were we not a bunch of Wrong Way Remis up on the mountain top?
As stated it was good to put faces to the forum folks & good to see old friends.
See Ya !!

T Bent said:Hey Remi, There looks to be a new avitar for ya. Be sure to thank Mike!
mikedashg said:We had a great time both days!! I'm always impressed with Marisha's stocker driving skills. She always goes through stuff I'm glad I'm lifted and locked for, hehe.

The next spot of any significance was the off-camber climb, it's an easy climb, but it feels all wrong. You've got a steep hill with a big hole about three quarters of the way up on the left side (opening into a small gully), the part that helps to make this a little nerve racking is the wrecked husk of a car at the bottom of that gully! Curt had a little trouble getting up the hill when he got hung up on the only rock past that hole, but he corrected that quickly and we got on our way.

Welcome Matt! Did we scare you away or will you come back again?mattb said:In all the time I've spent wandering the Mojave and the Southwest, this was the first time I've gone offroading just to offroad, and it was certainly the first time I've experienced offroading as a group sport.
Not really. Each club tends to rate each trail based on the cababilities of the rigs of its members. OR sometimes the trail rating merely suggests the required equipment necessary for the vehicle to safely complete the trail. After a year of wheeling with and the people on the SoCalXJ YahooGroup, I've gleaned that usually the ratings are based upon a moderately built rig... 3" lift, 31" tires, swaybar disconnects, rock rails, some skid plates, etc..Anyway I had a question about trail rating. Odessa was billed as easy to moderate, is this based on a specific rating system?
Here are a couple of general trail rating systems which some other clubs may or may not use:If not could someone place this on a standard rating scale?
On the 1-10 scale, I would rate Doran a 7 and Odessa a 6. On the 1-4 scale, both trails a 3+.I was running open with 31s and spent the whole time being a little concerned about what was around the next corner, since I didn't quite know what to expect.
It was a pleasure to meat you Matt. Hope to see you again.Thanks to everyone for a great time.
