Im in for Rubicon,

...pass on Fordyce

 

[Toasty]

The other trails to be planned will be less difficult trails, you should do those. I think Fordyce has bail outs along the trail if i remember CAP510 correctly, so maybe you could run Fordyce to a point and if it get's to crazy you can bail out at that point. I'll ask him about that.

 

[eurosonic]

sounds good.

 

[lordtrunks]

Correct we will have some lesser trails adding around both fordyce and the rubicon kevin was over last night him and i were discussing the trails a bit i'm pretty sure we're gonna keep snake lake as a trail its not insane just high alt and has a steep climb russ did it in his gen 2.5 on 33's i think dat had 33's on his sport at that time too. Kevins gonna dig his sierra's book out and have a look for near by trails to link up we'll probly end up putting a poll up or something like that and vote on which side trails we'll do thats why planning out this far ahead is nice gives everyone time think about the trails they'd like to add around the mains and get there ride ready. The question is WILL OFFROADER MAKE IT THIS TIME??? COME ON RAY!

I recommend doing the Signal Peak trail, its right next to Fordyce. Its doable for a montero with some tricky spots. Beautiful scenery. Ive been there multiple of times and can guide the crew.

I'm in for the trails that access fishing.

Bad fishing! You have to travel to great fishing. There are places up there which can be fished, but I got use to avoiding them, and moved to Idaho.

So, count you in for every trail? tons of little lakes up there and I saw trout in every stream.

Not sure about that. The last time we went we had a guy there who fished for his meals at the various lakes on the 'con.

Id hate to have drive to Idaho each day to fish for meals while doing the 'con or Fordyce... :smiley_drive::sombrero:

 

[Toasty]

I'm getting my license next year, those fish looked delicious!

 

[jeep-N-montero]

I typically go fishing once a week to keep my sanity, so any trail that leads to fishing is always priority for me when planning a trip.

 

[ultrakill]

Looks like I will not be able to do this.

Minimum Requirements to join in on this are :
33" tire for short wheel base
35" tire for Long Wheel base
Rocksliders
1 locking differential
Fuel tank either raise up into the frame rails on LWB and 4cyl swbs or armored SWB V6's should have it armored as they can't raise into the frame rails out of harms way I'm making this a requirement as it just sucks crushing tank and they are getting pretty hard to replace these days. If you come with out armor or a raise be prepared to loose some fuel space.

Oh well I'll just hit up the trails around Kings Canyon...

 

[Justice R]

Put me down as a maybe. Depends on where I am with my 99 by then. Took my 95 through the con with 33's and TB/spacer lift. Gas tank was already Clearanced'..Stock gears but I was also Dual locked..

 

[4D55 Performance]

I have given up on rock crawling. I more about back country travel.
