My wife and I are wanting to come to this... but as this will be our first time coming to something like this we are most likely under-prepared.

What are the necessities? I assume camping gear/food/drinks, what else should be on my checklist?

I plan on doing a day run with both my jeeps so we can talk about it at the M&G friday..

 

[GrimmJeeper]

if you plan on going on a run anywhere, make sure you have adequate front and rear recovery points (if you have a rear hitch that can serve as a recovery point if its mounted well.

if you just want to go tooling around the desert you can go out with a stocker most places out there, just watch out for bomb craters and deep loose sand

 

[wanaB4x4]

lol easy ones...umm not really if u call back door easy.. i have yet to see a xj make it up lol.. but its just fun to drive around the desert and hit the lil dune on the back of the hill.. last time i was there i dragged a buggy with a wj engine . in my 96 xj with 32's rear lsd and a 5 speed and beat him up and down the dune lol and he had paddles!!! :roll: and last KOH i went in Santa4x's jeep and that was a blast thanks santa!but we all know his rig is rediculious lol

He never really screwed up but the Captain Morgan bottle sure did post a lot. Actually he was a pretty good guy and fun to wheel with. He helped me out a TON in the early days of my XJ.

I think things got sour at the end with him and 4 wheelin' but I wouldn't think twice about resuming the good old days if he were still around.

When I see 'Captain' I think of good 'ol Ron :cheers:
