I so wish I had been there! And it looks like the person at the bottom of the rock slab/Chicken Scratch Hill didn't make the turn on three wheels, like me! It is all dry! And it looked warm! next time....

Aaron - thanks for inviting me along. It was a great day and a pleasure to meet you all. I had a blast. I look forward to seeing you all on the trails again.

I have to run to go play hockey, but will post up my pics by tomorrow.

This was my first run and had a great time. It was good meeting everyone even though I don't remember most of your names. Good group of folks.

Gragraver - to answer your questions your DII would be fine. Had no new sractches or anything on the P38. I just had to go slower than normal over a few obstacles!

I agree it would probably have been OK. I'd have been a lot more nervous though. and the disco II would need better tires too before trying that trail these michelins that are on it are pretty much a highway all season tire - not exactly trail material.

glad to hear the P38 got out OK. that climb out was a challenge - at least until I locked that diff. my first attempt at the big rock while unlocked was just funny. just sat spinning the tires. locked up it just climbed up easily.

Yeah I have never had CDL so I don't know how it handles. I wish I could have seen your wheelstand, sounded impressive. Yeah there is no reason to beat the DII up if you have your RRC as a trail going rover. I just have a problem where if it has 4-wheel drive I will use it..LOL

I really like them so far.
There was no need to air down so I didn't get a full-on rock crawling test.

They weren't loud on the highway either.

Can't wait for another run to really put 'em through their paces.

good glad they're working out for you.

Joe

I wouldn't do a SOA on yours cause the width is too narrow. Try going with an additional main spring and you should be fine. Stuff posted in Mileage Tips....Glad you got sorted out on the tires. Your 'MayPops' were spooky looking..

Steve-sorry we missed you at the Fort. I didn't check my personal message on the forum and just expected you to call or use my regular e-mail address. I only check my forum messages occasionally, like when I remember I even have a personal message site, which isn't often. I am always checking my regular e-mails because that is also a business thing. Next time...We always head down south via C470 so are only a little ways from you guys. I hadn't heard from you and figured that you would meet the rest of the Denver crew at Sedalia. Again, sorry for the mix up.

Here are some shots that LaDawn got. We seemed to be at the back of de bus most of the run..
