Re: Mark your calendars

Yeah, I saw that there were passes around some of the rougher obstacles and just wanted to make sure the passes were still open/driveable. I am ready to get back out on the trails and don't want to miss this one!!!

(By the way, I wasn't whining)

Re: Mark your calendars

I know that you weren't whining. I will keep everyone posted. We didn't make it to the top last time do to snow drifts. Hopefully by June they will be gone.

We actually did it with 2 stock rigs they did fine. There are also by passes if you wish. ocr14a was one of the stock rigs that did it, he was great.
Ahhhh ok, well as long as someone has actually made it in a stock rig with no problem then i'm good to go. Sorry to be the "whinny" one, but definitely can't afford repairs. I'm in for both days for sure!

The whining comment wasn't directed at you. It was actually directed as myself, so I hope you didn't take it that way.

I might consider taking my rear bumper cover off so I don't damage it again like I did at Metberry.

Again, so soon?
Ok. I guess we didn't actually get very far last time.

Hey Jackie, I still don't see an entry for this run here...
http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...nt-thread.html

Am I just missing it, or haven't you posted it there yet because we're still working out the details?

Re: Mark your calendars

It is posted on there, it is the 5th post. I thought that I had forgotten it. It wouldn't be the first and it won't be the last.

Sorry, Jackie, but no, it's not.
The only thing mentioned there is the Cruizin Havana thing....nothing about the trail run with the trail team the next day.

p.s. I totally don't mean to be a freak....or unappreciative

Steven's not being freaky. He's just cranky from spending a beautiful Saturday lying underneath my rig while helping to install a set of Rasta skid plates. We definitely had a Keystone Kops thing going for about six hours (hey, we did break for lunch and make a couple of runs for the right sockets), but finally got 'em on and made a run up Lefthand Canyon.

Thanks again, Steven. You know who to call when you get yours.

Jackie, are you running point on organizing the June run? If so, sign me up.

Ya, we knew that part, and we figured it would probably take us a little longer (being that neither of us has really spent much time doing stuff like this on autos). So, we planned on about 3 hours or so.

With the pieces and parts not quite lining up though like Rob said (oops, in another thread), I'm not so sure how much quicker it could have gone - even for Rasta them selves.

On that note, I'd like to hear a play-by-play from you in person soetime so we can compare how each step went.

Of course, when it comes time for us to install mine, now that we know what we're doing under there (new in general to both of us), and how everything fits (or doesn't fit) it will probably be more like 2-3 hours, realistically.
