well if you can't do that one let me know when you can, so we can try to ajust to everyone
 






I will be up that way around that time. Lemme see if the wifey will let me slip away for a few hours saturday or sunday to do that. I would definetely be interested, however not my decision....;)
 






i can probably do the mounds on the 19th but i need some more info.

1) anything required (other than ORV/CB and 4WD)?
2) need directions or a place/time to meet
3) is it something my truck can handle (keeping in mind i have a slight rub and only a BL)? or, if not, anyone feel like giving me a hand with my AAL/Shackles/coil spacers?

i may be able to do the 18th instead but its alot easier for me to get a sunday off and that means i have 3 weeks notice instead of 2 (work week starts on sunday for me)
 






Who has been to the mounds, and would it be a complete embarrassment to run my almost stock V8 AWD with tt/shackels and 30" michilens?
 






Ok well im sorry im jumping in this late. But whats the plan, I think im up for Badlands...How are the trails...ive done some mild offroading but nothing like an offroad park. Also is my truck big enough to handle the deal with tt/AAL/Shackles and 33's. The reason i ask is that im probable going to do the Body lift but dont have the money right now. Let me know I want to met some of you finally. I know i usually keep my mouth :rolleyes: shut on here but read it everyday and get some great ideas. Thanks

Y'all should be okay as long as you can accept some rubbing. Otherwise get the body lift and I'm sure some of them could help ya. B/L install is easy and I'd certainly help if i was around. Too bad this run is gonna be at the badlands... cause i can't afford to drive and live it up out there this weekend.

re :rer2212

from the sounds of it, there are 2 runs....one at badlansa, and one in flint, mi on the 19th. i dont think i am up for the badlands....too far and the wrong time of year for me, but i am almost def game for the slabs...i just out in for it at work. i need a more scpecific location first though.
 






I cannot make the 19th, the 18th would be much better for me.
 






oh, crap. i dont know if i can, but i'll put in for that one too and cross my fingers. thank god my work has an assosiate website! i am still planning on the 19th anyways, but maybe i can do both.

Like Pete said, be prepared for some major rubbing with 33s and no BL. You may want to wait on actually wheeling till you get the BL, cause it would suck to tear up your wheelwells and or tires.
 






If you guys do the mounds on the 18th there is a good possibility I can be there to at the very least ride along and hang out, maybe bring a dirt bike dunno. But the 19th is a no go for sure for me

Or some major inner fender well trimming. But even with TT and a BL I had rubbing with 33s and have to remove some plastic, not much, but some.
 






So UDMSVT see if you can get the 18th off, either day works for me, Ill have to see what my roomate is doing that weekend, he has been dying to do some wheeling (we had to lift his stupid cherokee 4" to squeeze 31s...damn heeps) So whatever day works for the most people...
 






i could only get the 18th off... but i was able to get the rrorc days off... so i'm game for both, if mounds is on the 18th
 






for those intrested in goin to mounds on the 18th let us know...mounds thread
 






Um, so is badlands out?

later

OK, so is there more than one run planned?:rolleyes: Its really hard to make heads or tails of what is planned. From what I can figure out there are three runs in consideration right now. On the 18th, 19th to the mounds and then the RRORC run at the Badlands. Who is going to what. I'm going to the RRORC run. I may have my B2, or I may run the Explorer, but most likely from the way things are looking I will be riding with someone.
