I got three of my four tires today they look good(not sure now one fell off the radar) off to race soon!

Yep howd you guess... One apparently fell off truck or disappeared Otw from co to md all four were on that truck tho........
 






If will is going to meet us, then I would say the park and ride at Route 623 exit of I 64 (up from Boogys) . If not, I would say the Gaskins exit.

Ronin, if you ar coming from NOVA on Saturday, I would suggest that you meet us at Coal Road. There is a good pull off spot to meet. Coal Road is a gravel surface road. The actual trail head is 7.0-miles down Coal Road on the left.

Spike's place is about 30-minutes south, so it would add an extra hour to your ride. With cell phones, constant contact is easy.
 






Sounds good to me BTW should I mount white letters out or black? I'm thinking black

Black
 
























blackwall out. those are awesome tires. and it looks like youd be on the verge of rubbing?
I promise you i wont rub... if need be ill take a heatgun to the inner fender and push it back...should be fine tire measures 4'' taller so thats 2" per side and i have the 1.5 bl now so it should be gravy... talked to fedex today since the delivery date of last tire disappeared overnight,, that it was almost definitely at hagerstown where it should have been scanned in but is in the "damaged bar code items" bin... was assured that would be here wed...
BTW it is a Michelin LTX AT2 Tread pattern
 






I found some pictures from the last trip.

1. Trailhead
2. Trailhead, Explorers
3. The beginning of the challenging section
4. A Jeep, really a Jeep, we dont discriminate

Looks fun!

I have a possible two more vehicles/people that are interested in coming along with us.. One of my buddies who drives a Ram 1500 (might be too big, but he'll bang that thing up a a trail) and my uncle in my old TJ. I doubt they'll really end up coming... but they might, we'll see.

Unclemeat, did you decide if you want to meet up at Gaskins/64 or 623/64?
 






Unless I'm wrong which does happen were meeting off 64/623
