interested, now just need to work on getting the day off.
-
If I'm not on a trip for work I'd be game.
-
John Bull, can I ride with someone? ;D
-
Depending on when in June I might be able to go. What are the requirements for this trail? Isn't this one of the no joke ones? Haven't done this one yet.
-
I'm in.

I might be in. This is a definitely a no joke trail.

You might want to catch a ride for this one...what Toro said.
-

-
Not trying to gang up on you Lupin, but you might want to get with Steevo on rig requirements. I have done this trail and I think your rig will definitely struggle.
-
No worries. I get my shrocks probably this coming week and I'm also eying some 35's to play with as well. My rig will get there soon enough. :)
-
If you have 35s a locker and willing to winch if needed then we should be able to get you through. Ideally locker fr and rr are desired. Do not show up without sliders. Body damage possible in a few spots if you're not paying attention.

I have full plate underneath and sliders, rear lockers (2010 Off-road standard), will have front and rear shrocks with 12K pound wench with synthetic line. Still don't know my work schedule that far out but we'll see what happens. :)
-
It will likely be a rough day with one locker. Driving experience and spotting is important as well. With a group of 5 or so rigs we should be OK.
If you have doubts, please see the 24 hour run thread on the new x.
-
can I use this as a shakedown for my new front and rear 4:56's and ARB lockers? with brand SPANKING new Goodyear wrangler MT's 35's with kevlar before the Rubicon trail run?
can I use the time on the trail to talk you into joining me on the Rubicon run?
-
Yes & yes. However I would prefer that you get some easy trail time in prior to this just just to break in the gears.

Me on John Bull. Ended up need to winch. Only took about 6" of winch for the front to get traction and get up.
In my defense......This is where most people have trouble.

Are you gonna watch? Your rig is not ready for this kind of run bro...

I'd love to go but I'll just be getting back in town from Sequoia. Have fun out there.

I can't find this thread you speak of.....
Link?

I was asking on Facebook for it too.. Now I can't find it.. And I think the cameras got put away once the sun went down and the temps dropped below 25. This adventure may have been lost in digital media land and may now only be a campfire story.
In another note, I just realized field day is that weekend on the ham radio. I think i right camp overnight somewhere and play radio too.

Post #21 by Steven is where the good pics begin...of the evening shenanigans on John Bull with Oz, Creek, et al.
My fave pic is taken the next morning of the line up of rigs on the highway.

I did John Bull with Jason wolfman x back in 2006 with a stock 2005 off road with sliders no winch no getting stuck! It was a blast but nail biting! The rock garden was beyaaaatch!
Sounds like fun!
-
I'll be on the east coast during the week leading up to this and just realized my flight back is on the 28th.. So we may need to bump this back a day. I'll keep you guys posted. Fingers crossed for a Friday night flight home.

Dude you have to stop by the crib Monday please and pick up free Xterra off-road stuff. The rack for duffman, your gas can holder and some other stuff. Please text me. I want it to go to a good home for free.
-
I'll try and swing by tonight...
...I guess I could've just called you instead writing it here.
-
I think I would make it as it is now except I could use better tires than the BFG Rugged Trails I have on there now. I'll just wait till they're worn down before I put some 315s on..
-
I think I'm down for this run. Did this a few months ago with a bunch of jeep guys. Got a Frontier and an X w/titan swap, 33's and rear locker up through it unscathed with some careful spotting an some rock stacking. There were definitely spots where if the wheels slip, you could get into trouble. I'd love to try it out with the front locker now. I could definitely have used the front locker on Holcomb Creek, I found that a tougher trail although it could have because it was a bit snowy and muddy when I did it.
This is from John Bull:

Sweet! Heading out to pick up the pathfinder tomorrow with its new motor. It should be turn key and finally ready to rock. (Still frustrated that it didn't make it to gone)

This will be my son's birthday weekend. Depending on what we do with him will depend on whether or not I will go. Definitely want to though.
-
Let us know what's happens nick. Itd be cool to have you in the run.
Got the pathfinder back yesterday and its not running right or even really at all. Its Maddening and frustrating. So I'm tearing into it today and will hopefully be doing wheelies this afternoon.

The Short Bus is in for the John Bull, got the buy in from the Wife today!!!!

I'm in!

This is turning out to be a pretty nice turn out. Anyone camping?
-
Nick, it's funny you mention camping ... I was just making plans to go up there Friday early afternoon and camp. You have a good place you like to go or?
P.S. while up there work on my wife about buying one of those awesome awnings FTW!
-
Hey Nick,
Camping at Heartbar campground down the 38 from BB Friday and Saturday nights. There are a lot of campspots still available for that weekend if you are interested.
-
I've camped mainly at Crab Flats, but only because I haven't really explored the BB area. I like to camp near a creek/stream/body of water. Crab Flats really doesn't have that by it. If I go, it might be only me since it's my son's B-day weekend, but I got the pass from Shi to go. I'm hesitant on saying I'm 100% in only because he's having a sleep over, and I don't want Shi to get overwhelmed with children. I will camp though if I do go.
-
I am in!!!,..... Oh wait... Truck it totalled... I am in!... Clear out your passenger seats!
-
Hey Danny, if I end up going, I'll have a passenger seat available.... ;)

Just to re-iterate.

Celt and I will be at HeartBar campground Site 8/9 Stop by for a drink and sit around the camp fire.
-
I'm out.
no 35's and I could not justify rolling down and abusing tires i have already sold.
sorry guys
-
I'm out too. I need new tires before I tackle a trail like that again.
-
My buddy and I are at Crab Flats site 6, see ya'll in the morning. Ditto on the campfire and beverages too!
-
Oh if anyone comes by we could use some firewood... just sayin

Dude... I have like 3 cords at my house. You should have just come by!!

Good times! I don't think we got many pictures though. This is a trail that you can't exactly drive and take pictures at the same time on.

That run was a blast!
-
It was a pretty epic run. Definitely tested my will/skill/truck with the obstacles. I think I leveled up my wheelin' skills this weekend. Great trail, would actually do it again too!!!
Great wheeling with a great crew, thanks for the spots, and the campfire stories!
-
Yes it truly was epic. Let's do it again. I really admire all of your wheeling skills and am convinced we as a group could do about anything.
Great job everyone. I particularly loved Steevo's demonstration of "If I were a little pathfinder on 31" tires THIS is the line I would have taken through this rock garden" ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Correction ... 30's .. :) I was rolln on big rubber back then!!
