Anyone have a preference for what/how to run Bunce / Ironclads?

Drive down Bunce to see how much snow exists (which could be the whole trip with no time for Ironclads)?

Start with a visit to Ironclads to see how much snow is there, and if too much, then head down bunce?

Doesn't Ironclads have a seasonal gate?

[robotzombies]

I know that my truck doesn't do well at all in snow (the problem with running ATs and no locked front), so I was hoping to run Bunce for as long as I could, then bow out when I couldn't get any further. But that's just me, and I don't want to ruin anyone else's fun.

No

Well crud - My jeep's down - rear brake leak. I replaced pads today and in their adjustment the integrated e-brake bolt is leaking fluid - copiously (no brakes).

I'll be in my car.

I'll be at the meet spot and can get to the trailhead - Might anyone have a spare seat for me to ride along?

I'll toss in recovery gear into the car should it be needed.

DRAT DRAT DRAT - but I'm still look'n to join in.

I didnt get as far as I wanted to on this thing, however, I did get tow points on the front. I only have stock rear bumper right now. I wanted to add a little reinforcement to the front, but as long as there's no mega yanks to the sides it should be fine. Being as I only have tow points on the front, I obviously wouldnt be leading either. That being said, wd could still join and would have an open seat as well. If anyone else still wants to go and a 2nd vehicle is needed, we can go. If the consensus is to hold off thats fine too.

[Anschutz]

I've got an extra seat as well.

well bummer, just looked at the forum, was about to walk out the door and head to Lyons.

i'll plan to see you guys at the anniversary run
