[CodeXJ]

speak of the devil im watching vids on youtube of chinaman gulch and then you post this. You know my next cherokee is going to be automatic to try it out. haha

[mattzj98]

Cody, you're coming with me on that one

[CodeXJ]

I'll ride with you

[Robert B]

okay i know i keep throwing the same thing out there but want to do the weekend of the 6th???? those3 days and camp/ hang out down there ??? i would love to have my parts in by then but i doubt it so il just run how i am now lol

[Michael4rnr]

I might be able to go i will just bring my dirtbike or someting instead cause i know my car wont make it.

[dannanw]

If I get a trailer by then sure, but probably not.... Might be getting a new house.

[Woodscaper]

I would love to get back to there and push it a little harder this time. If its the 6th or 7th I would be In.

[scout man]

You have my attention. No promises though.

[mattzj98]

Well I hope the dirtbike can keep up Micheal!

Honestly I don't plan on stop and go action. I plan on driving straight through the boirng sections, but once at an obstackle, stick around and try different ways.. like wales tail or stairs or even rock pile..

[mattzj98]

I never mentioned a date yet O_o

[mattzj98]

I see.. I think I willl be trailered by that giant a$$ red ford truck

How crazy is Chinaman Gulch. I have a buddy with a trailer by their and was thinking about doing it sometime this summer. I would love to make this trip but school has me too busy. But I was wondering if it would even be worth my time to try this trail or if it is beyond my truck. I have a basically stock 91 trooper and looking at the pics and stuff it looks like their is some stuff the trooper could do and a lot I know it couldn't. Any opinions?

[Squshiee1]

Dont even attempt it, unless you want some body damage and a day of winching.

It can be done, however I would advise against it. If you are still stock there are many other trail in the BV area to do that wouldn't cause damage and are still fun.

[ctracy5]

thanks guys, I would hate to waste my time just to get there and not be able to do it, or even worse be dumb and get stuck. Any other fun runs out there a little more basic

[Roostercruiser]

I might be in. Hopefully my SYE kit comes in tomorrow. My burban made it but broke a spring bolt on back side coming down.

[Squshiee1]

burban?

[Roostercruiser]

Last year. Foxtrot and I went

[Warrlord]

Just a heads up for ya......................

I noticed CO4x4 is having their Old farts Run on the 31st & 1st at Chinamans. There's usually 20-40 rigs on the trail & that makes for a really loooooooooooooong day on that trail. I just wanna save you some grief in case you would pick one of those two days :) ;)

[Funrover]

Can I ride along? Fullsize rigs change the trail A LOT! (Perspective wise IMHO)

[DHYDR8D]

Lets put this on the calendar! the 21st seems to far away. how about the 14th.

[Roostercruiser]

sure

[Squshiee1]

oh, i just read it wrong.

[DHYDR8D]

I am open to anything really I was just trying to get the run on the calendar. Our calendar is looking pretty weak right now and I have heard whispers from other people on other forums that FR4X4 does'nt really go wheeling.

[mattzj98]

21st works. hopefully my shitbox is up to it!

[Roostercruiser]

21st works

[Heather]

They would have to do it either the 7th or 21st!
You have to drill on the 7th.


21st works.

21st works
x3

[DHYDR8D]

Let's Do it!!

[Rick]

Fullsize rigs change the trail A LOT!
Ive done it ,cmon

[scout man]

alright, I am out, I cant do the 21st. Have fun!

[Funrover]

Ive done it ,cmon

I have also, I love it. I just would hit everything it I was driving! I had a great time riding with a buddy in a full size!

[xaza]

I've never been to Chinaman Gulch but it looks like fun. Think my Jeep can make it? Still got a few more weeks to wait on my axles.

[BLOODBANE]

I might be able to swing this one as well. I would bring the Exploder though. Saving the Ranger for the run in June on RMFTC). Just got to get a little closer..

[Gossamer]

Sounds like fun ! Im with Robyn on this one. Frikin gas prices are high and that would be the only thing holding me back. Anyone want to contribute to the "Juno really wants to go on this run, FUND":GroupHug:..lol...If i do make it to this super fun trail, Id suggest we meet at the fort restaurant right off 285. Also make the departure time from there about 7am. Reason is i did this trail last year and got to the trail head around 930-10 am and i didnt make it home till 1145 that night !!!! Looooooooooooooooooongggg day !!!!!!!! Just a suggestion since that trail is usually full of rigs year round :thunb:

[Rick]

departure time from there about 7am.
X2 earlier the better

[Molley]

please dont plan around us .. if our dates dont match when you all are going then thats ok. go have fun !! there is always next time ....thanks Molley

[mattzj98]

your jeep will be fine, my station wagon made it.

usually is a long day on there isn't it..

[Rick]

long day on there isn't it..
all depends!!!!!!!
