Vicki (Jeepfrog) and I are planning an official run through Manistee National Forest. Meeting point, and more info will be up in a week. This will be the main thread.. For this run we do need at least one other vehicle with a winch, this for just in case mud stucks...Some requirements will be good gripping tires and tow points...more to follow

I'd love to make it!
But I'll be in college (probably working too) and in a frenzy trying to get my Liberty ready for ECS. I need to order and install four aftermarket parts, plus my DYI Frankenlift. I'm really hoping I can get everything done before ECS. :dizzy:

I wish Vicki and yourself the best on this event.

Good luck at school!

I'm sure we'll have a great time - we always do. Maybe you can make it some other time.

This would be a nice shakedown for the Beast before ECS. I'll have to see how the job situation works out. If I can get back to work, get my wife's medical bills straightened out and still afford the few parts left to buy ( exhaust, 2 driveshafts and all the hoses and fluids!) I would love to make the 4 hour run up there. I would have to be on the tentative list.

Thank you. Are you and your husband going to make it to ECS? I can probably make it to some fall/winter get togethers.

ECS is out for us this year.

Scheduling conflicts with my sister's vacation...long story there.

It would be great to have you along, Larry. I'd love to get a first hand look at the Beast!

No worries. I'm sure I'll run into you all somewhere (someday).

Hopefully you'll get a big group to go. Make sure you take a bunch of pictures.

With this type of advance warning.... I think I can make it unless between now and 9/10 I no longer own my Jeep or any other usable 4wd car (which knowing me, may happen :ROTFL:

)
