I just had an event I have to work moved on me from Friday to Saturday so looks like I'm not good either... We'll have a grand 4x4 adventure in the Spring which will be well worth the wait.
I think the Spring will work out perfect. Let us know early in the semester though, so we can schedule. My weekends fill up fast.

In for the spring, keep me posted

Spring works... Heep 2.0 should be ready to rock n' roll then.. My summer impatience has to be fixed over winter..
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Jake - 10-16-2011
Sweet. Bet I can get a lift kit on the BMW by then.

^ No confidence in the vehicle OR driver I see.. Need to obtain video from friend of ol Jeep which had no problemo fording a 2.5' deep stream on Friday...... we're talking water splashing over the hood deep...
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Kaan - 10-16-2011
I'm just saying XJ > BMW for this event
I bought a snatch strap just for you and rousch creek
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Sully - 10-16-2011
I've taken the M through a 4" deep stream and straddle some ruts and what not. Sad part is I'm not joking

^ hmmm.. wrong use of quotes to designate length on my behalf.. 2 and half feet deep... not 4 inches..
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Sully - 10-16-2011
^ Mine's an M3 though so 4" is pretty extreme and it was really like 6"-7"
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Cody - 10-16-2011
How "INTENSE" of a trail are you all looking for? Should we try to find a spot with multiple options or go for the easy button trail near Crab Tree Falls (awesome camping spot)?
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - V1GiLaNtE - 10-16-2011
The Latter.. Ever been at a track day and have something break?? Same concept on the trail except there are not 2-3 people around you with the same car and potential replacement part..

Oh no doubt.. I hit that trail at the lake on 33W on Friday.. Everything was sopping wet so it was fun crawling around the different trails and the 4 creek crossings.. Creek crossings are so cool... :thumbup:
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Sully - 10-17-2011
If that's the one at the top of 33 that starts as Pavement but ends within like 20 yards, then that is where I took the M. I though it would be a cool twisty paved backroad. It wasn't

X2, nothing like being stuck 10 miles in the middle of the woods and scrambling for help.......at least a tow can get to you!
Worst nightmare= grenading the front dana 30 and having to leave the heep there stranded for two days

Yeah, that's a neat trail down there. I took my Escape down there freshman year but didn't go very far. I remember stopping next to a little river thing. Not sure how far the trail goes or if you can camp there or what the deal is.

Hey man, I have an LSD. I can scramble my way out of anything with that. Unless it's snowing or deep ruts or slightly damp or... well okay, maybe I'll just come catch a ride.

I've taken it pretty far in- well in to West VA with a jeep club, total of about 4 hours in- 4 hours to drive out, pretty cool trail! Some tricky spots for sure, but there are always by-passes that a stocker can make it around no problem
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - HAULN-SS - 10-18-2011
I've camped there. It goes a decent bit past the creek, and then there are those digouts to stop you from going any further. There's a little short trail that branches off to the left, and you can came in that area.
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Cody - 01-09-2012
Soooo, when in the spring works out for you folks? I was thinking late march (haven't looked at the race schedule yet). We'll have everything planned out this week. I also extended an invite to the UVA kids cause I know a couple of them are into it.
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - premiershine9 - 01-15-2012
Late march would be cool- gotta see what we're going to trek on- wrangler is being sold and I just bought my dads 09 Grand Cherokee Laredo off of him- might have to test it out or ride with someone else
One vote for late March
