Is the pot luck for Saturday? Whats the plan for Friday, just wanting to know if its cooking out all weekend or were you guys planning to hit up a local establishment? I'm game for either idea, just need to know.

I'll talk to the wife and see what leftovers we can scrounge up to bring for the potluck.

Ok I'll bring the crap out of the cookies!

No see that picture there is of an experienced hummer driver he's brought along his own jeep to pull himself out, saves humiliation lol
 
#111 ·
This picture always makes me laugh......for so many reasons.

But to address your comment, you should know, in case you dont, Hummer approx..... 9,000 lbs
Jeep approx..........3500 lbs.

How do I know these facts? lol... I tried to pull out a Hummer with my 8,000 lb winch. I was lucky. I did not go over the cliff with the Hummer.

i have a few questions.

1. i notice there are 2 m&g threads, which one do i post in for comments and questions?

2. what time do we start sat morning?

3. does anyone have an SWR meter they could bring and help me make sure my cb is tuned properly?

4. could someone post a google maps link to the location of the camp cause i tried entering 33* 02.234N 116* 24.556W in google maps and it took me to Turkey. and i cant make it to the m&g if its in Turkey ; ;


im gonna post this in both threads until i know which one is better suited for my dumb questions ><;

Both the TJ's that we have aren't stock (only the JK is). On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the toughest trail) what would you rate it for the average jeeper? (Keep me on here as a maybe, im gonna kick it around for a bit)
I agree a stock jeep can handle those trails.
I am not sure if I can make it this time around though. Will have to let you know.

Fred, don't sweat either of those runs. There are a lot of runs I would advise many Jeepers against running but not either of those two. And a stock Jeep will do just fine with either of them. Really. :)

I did it in a stock YJ the first time. A couple of spots had me thinking twice, but my little Jeep suprised me. After I did it with a lift on my YJ I had no issues what so ever. It was actually more fun with the stocker since it took more finess to get over the obsticals.

The squeeze is maybe a 4 with a good spotter. With HAH, just for the sheer visual factor, I would say a 6 or 7. Again, with a good spotter.

i forgot i dont have an oil pan skid plate. should i get that instead of disconnects if i can only afford one before the m&g?
 
#140 ·
Hard for me to answer that for ya. I don't have an oil pan skid either and I do have a couple of scrapes on it, but no punctures luckily. Have you lifted your Jeep yet?

Personally, I would look into disconnects first, but armor is very important also.

What is HAH?
Heart Attack Hill... eeehu

Is there am Alt Easier route on the trail that allows the fainter of heart to by pass HAH and The Squeeze?

Ran Pinion Trail this past Sat. Snow falling on the higher elevation just before the descent into the Squeeze. Camera failed just as we arrived at the Squeeze. There were four of us. I know, no pictures, no happen. I'll work on it. The rains always have a way of changing trails. The Squeeze was ok, Heart Attack gets smoother every year. (Less abrubt at the top, so its not as dramatic). The wash up to Fish Creek has the one climb which has gotten deeper. It was not doable by us with the mud on the tires/trail. One Jeep was also a Rubicon. When dry you should be able to walk right up with spotting.
We went up Sandstone canyon. It turned out to be quite fun. I was looking for the sign that closes the trail at a certain point, but never saw it and ended up at the top of the mountain with no hint of a trail left.
The light rain left us and the sun came out, turned out to a nice day in the desert with no Dust in our wake.
I highly recommend this trail for all. With experienced folks along, the likes of Jerry and Jeff and others I am sure, you will have a great experience jeeping. I am still planning on being there, but you know how life is.
