good luck with it all!

Who's going?

Hey, how many trucks are attending? How organized is this going to be? Are you guys camping there or what? I might be interested.

 

[jasonb]

i doubt there will be a huge attendance.. but it will be fairly organized.
i plan to camp friday night somewhere. i'm too cheap to get a room somewhere so i'll sleep in my truck if i have to. i'll try to camp somewhere though. if we are riding sunday too.. i'll camp sat night as well.

i know the date says 6-7. i won't be leaving until around 4:00 that friday so i won't get there until after dark. anyone wanting to camp is welcome to join me.. assuming camping is allowed in the natl forest there.

 

[LowdPypes]

might be possible... also, I will see if I can't scrounge up a few other local ploders.

 

[diablo5969]

Well, it appears I will be out.

I feel bad to back out, because this is the third time I've had to do this on a run. Luckily, and for that reason, I did not get myself too involved with the planning.

There is an infinitessimally small chance that I might be able to perform a miracle and come along. But I'm not even counting on it.

Sorry about that.

I hope everyone has fun! And I want to see pictures when you all are done!

A later date is good for me. It will give me more time to save to get my truck prepared to wheel again. I won't be wheeling anymore until that happens.

Hey guys, I just got my X a month or so ago and I'm looking to test out the offroading capabilities of my truck. It's a mechanically stock 1995 EB with a fresh tranny (just over 1400 miles on the tranny) and the larger EB wheels (dunno actual measurements; can anyone clue me in? I know they're larger than the normal X 4x4 wheels/tires)

Would this run be a good thing for me? Would I be looking at severe body damage?

 

[diablo5969]

From what I've heard, Uwharrie would be a great place for testing out your Ex. I haven't actually had a chance to get up there yet, but I think it's just the right level for testing an Ex's limits.

No severe body damage or anything to that extent.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone decide on a new date yet?

 

[AdamsGuitar]

I just went to the website and it looks like a winner to me

I'm available for pretty much any date. I have a friend with an old Isuzu Trooper. Would he be welcomed or pelted with rotten vegetables?

 

[jasonb]

chase.. its now the weekend of the 7th. maybe a moderator could change the dates in the topic?
gonna make it now?

i'm still in for sure 100% unless my truck blows up!

trying to pull together funds to throw some bigger meats under by then too.. but that's looking kinda slim now.

well i don't guess he would be pelted with rotten vegetables if he showed up. i don't plan on bringing any of those with me. not sure about others though.

and as far as taking a bone stock through.. i'll let Jason_25 reply to that. he's been there before. from what i can tell... your running boards or rockers will get aquainted with the rocks pretty good, but that's about it.

 

[AdamsGuitar]

I don't have running boards, so I don't have that to worry about. I think it should be OK though. I don't really want to replace these tires though, as they're almost brand new (at least 75% tread left).

 

[Jason_25]

Adam you're welcome to come, but except some minor body damage if you wanna have any fun out there.

I haven't set a final date for this trip, because I am still negotiating with work


But I'll let you all know soon.

 

[AdamsGuitar]

Minor is OK. I basically just don't want SEVERE stuff. A little minor body damage never hurt anybody

 

[94EBexplorer]

still no dates yet? would it be worth it to come? or would i be wasting my time?stuff challenging for 36's and locked up?

 

[diablo5969]

December 7th. Now that's pushing into final exams.

If it was pushed back to the 14th I'd have better chances. But I don't know for sure

Except for one trail, you'd be wasting your time. I did all the trails but that one with open diffs and 31's.

 

[jasonb]

as far as dates.. i don't care what date.. as long as it isn't turkey day weekend or later than the 21st of dec. the 7th or the 14th is fine.
post when a final date is set please. i'm ready to get back on the trail so i can have a reason to do some mods.

 

[jasonb]

jason.. are you able to get off work for the 7th weekend?
is this still the date that we all plan on going?

 

[AdamsGuitar]

I haven't been able to get in touch with Jason (I'm trying to join ECX) so I don't know.

I am going up to Uwharrie with a friend this weekend, so anyone else is welcome to join us if you want.
