Utah Explorer Trail Runs - Let's get this going

*Suicide77* · 05-03-2012, 10:55 PM

HELL YEAH!! I'm game! It would be nice to get a trip in that makes people want to get out of the valley!

*NHarris* · 05-04-2012, 03:15 PM

Have you done inspiration point or skyline drive?

*NHarris* · 05-12-2012, 01:00 AM

Dying here to do some off roading!!! Anyone know of any trails to hit up in June?

*Happy Jack* · 05-12-2012, 06:24 AM

Man o man am I jonesing bad fer some trail time. Don't know how soon I'll be able to get out of town. June maybe. July for sure but it'll be hot then. Thinking maybe it'd be best for me if we could have another planned for September when I will be out for my HITR trip down south.

*Suicide77* · 05-15-2012, 01:07 AM

I haven't done skyline drive, but, last weekend I scouted out the mines above Stockton. The snow drifts should be melted by this weekend. We were really close to the top when we got stopped. I got 6 stitches this evening, so I'm not sure if I will be able to make it out this weekend. Lots of fun driving though, and I'm able to carefully manuver up the road in a stock first gen, so anybody should be able to make it. I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow.

*NHarris* · 05-15-2012, 01:27 AM

Alright. I'm on hold for the time, as my truck is for sale and I can't abuse the sh*t outta it right now...

*adamsbro2* · 05-22-2012, 07:04 AM

AWESOME!!!!! I have been wanting to meet some more people and join a club here in northern utah!!! Looks like i might be too late though if the Club Leader is selling his truck????? WTH? However; I have a 93 that i will be putting a 6" lift, tires, and 4.56 gears on this next week. I started a build thread if anyone is interested its called 93 Explorer Project. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=356278 and i am UP FOR SOME WHEELING as soon as i get this thing done!! Oh ya and btw i Live in Clearfield/Layton/Syracuse.. Im right on the border of all three but technically Clearfield.

*NHarris* · 05-22-2012, 07:58 AM

Although I sold my lifted 2005 Explorer, I bought a 2001 V8 Explorer that I will be lifting. I also have a 1998 Explorer V6.

*adamsbro2* · 05-22-2012, 08:26 AM

cool so you still have a vehicle to go play in?? awesome i cant wait to get a group together!!! I REALLY want to learn where some trails are around here i haven't been offroad in like 11 years and its KILLING ME!!! Where do you get these trail maps that people talk about???

*NHarris* · 05-23-2012, 12:20 AM

Well either way I was going to get a 4x4. Whether it was a Jeep or an Explorer. I don't plan on keeping this rig for a long time (probably 5ish years). Getting a JK Wrangler is my ultimate goal.
Depending on how this summer goes, I'm down for wheeling. I'm going to be working 2 jobs, so keep in contact with me and I'll round up others.

*adamsbro2* · 05-23-2012, 07:11 AM

You don't wanna buy a Heep, everyone buys Jeeps. You should just sas an exploder!

*NHarris* · 05-23-2012, 11:30 AM

I'll SAS the new explorer :P That thing would suck cuz its gotta be quite top heavy...

*NHarris* · 06-04-2012, 01:56 AM

Alright everyone. I got myself a second gen, if you all didn't know that... I'm going to be doing a lift on it as soon as I get some tires. Soon as that happens Im down for some trail runs.
Anyway;
Inspiration Point opens in mid July.
Farmington Canyon is closed, but skyline drive is accessible from Bountiful.

Lets get some suggestions going and possibly work on some days to meet up.

*adamsbro2* · 06-04-2012, 02:05 AM

Im not sure where Inspiration Point is?? And do you know where i can buy a map that has all the offroad trails on it??

*NHarris* · 06-04-2012, 02:07 AM

I can email you a google earth add-on that has all the utah trails organized by region.
Inspiration Point starts in Mantua Utah. It goes up to the top of a peak just north of willard peak. Its a 25 minute drive from Ogden.

*adamsbro2* · 06-04-2012, 02:12 AM

that would be SWEET!! I will let ya know for sure when i am available i gotta get the X done first lol!!

*Suicide77* · 06-29-2012, 11:26 PM

Yes! Finally got a link back to this thread (thanks to Nate!). Should have the lift done this week/weekend if stupid stuff doesn't pop up. Totally down to go wheeling between the Ogden or Bountiful area! It would be so bad ass having the Hulk, Nate's V8, and Captain America all cruising down a road together!

*adamsbro2* · 06-29-2012, 11:29 PM

I just need to know when and where and ill try to be there

*Suicide77* · 06-30-2012, 09:12 AM

*NHarris* · 06-30-2012, 11:29 PM
