Spring wheeling trip at SMORR

[techieman33]

there are easy , and there are tough trails,, it doesn't matter if you are lifted , it matters that it is an Explorer , or Ranger,

it is about meeting some of the people from the site,, and having a good time,,

it's not going to be all explorers and rangers, there will be mountaineers, and maybe a dakota or two there as well

 

[corkey]

sorry ,
k it don't matter what you drive,,

For the most part it will be EF members. This trip to SMORR is an open invite. Friends and family are welcome to join. We are one big family on EF, and to be able to meet members and their family's is a welcome privilege. Friends of members will soon me members themselves, at least that has come true for me. Not every one has a Ford, but they will see how capable they are, and will soon be a Ford owner as well.

lets get some more people on the list ,

Bingo, gman!

Being hospitable to everyone is a must. My wife and I have been to Ouray, CO for the Full Size Jeep Invasion three times (I used to have a Grand Wagoneer, and now have borrowed another one!). They have all been great people to us, even though we were there in an Explorer. (Not having to worry about vapor lock at 11,000 feet was nice, though )

If I can make it, I'm going to try to get my dad to come up from Joplin with his mildly built Waggy (my old one) and I have another friend in Springfield with a YJ.

Let's all just have a god time there and show the doubters what an RBV can do!

Not to take away from this thread, but we are going to Ouray this Labor day. Feel like going a 4th?

We have so much camping space for our group to Smorr, I would love to fill them all up! 43 electric sites alone. Could you all picture the bonfire? I can! 100 members swapping stories, introducing themselves, laughing and having a great time. How many pictures would a group that size take? How many memories would be made? I dont know, but it is a lot! So come on guys, start spreading the word, work it!

I'm In

What the heck, I'm definitely down to meet people and have a good time. Maybe I'll have some stuff done on my truck by then, maybe not. It'll be a good time either way. Lol, one of you lifted, locked, v8 guys can just drag my truck around and I'll take pics pretending its all me, haha.

man i'd love to go, but smorr is about a 6 hour drive for me. i'd love to be able to meet others on the site.

plus right now i only have a tt/shackle lift. i'm wanting to do a BL and get some 33's as soon as i can afford it.

also my ex is my daily driver and i'd hate to take the chance of breaking something so far away from home.

According to Mapquest, its 5 hours and 53 minutes away from me. I'm still planning on going. And mine is also my DD, and stock, lol. Just don't bite off more than you can chew and you'll be fine.

 

[corkey]

i am sure there will be a few guys there that might know there way around a wrench , or socket set..

so wheeling a DD is not that dangerous, , we will be able to fix alot of things,,

Don't worry too much, most of the wheeler's are from that far away or farther.
I am taking my DD, and I would not take it something I know would destroy it.
I will take on something that is challenging tho, that is the fun part! You would be amazed at what your rig is capable of! As Corkey said, we will help out if you need it, you will have tons of support. 2" of lift is capable of doing quite a few trails. You have time to do more to your rig if you want to feel more capable.

 

[Elessar65]

Woot. Hopefully I don't break my truck. Maybe I should change my deductible right before we step off.....

 

[turboexplorer]
