Who plans to attend?

Talon 1 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 07, 2005 6:39 pm

As stated before, I`ll go if I can but I`m not sure at the moment. If I do, I`d like to do group 2 if possible.

I can't make it on the 7th, but I'm planning a ride on aug 13th with some othe wranglers and my YJ. It would be nice to have a few Libbies along to show these guys how to wheel L.O.S.T MA style!

Randy

one KJ, one YJ

Hmmm...interesting Randy. What trails you guys planning on doing? Just start another thread about this.

I will do the Newbie trail on the 7th unless you guys think I can jump to level 2 and if I can convince wife to go on the second August run we'll do level 2.
should have skids on by the first run, but never been to Paragon before.
:shock:

I did some level 2 trails at stock height, but I scraped the hell out of my skids. If you want to do level 2, you should have full skids including a transmission skid of some kind even if it's the Mopar one. I wouldn't risk it without tranny protection. Also make sure you have front and rear tow hooks or other recovery points. They check for them before they let you on the trails at Paragon.

Level 1 is recommended your first time at Paragon and I'll be more than happy to do Level 1 trails. I still need a tranny skid - can't afford to break my KJ!

Agreed with the others Andy. Stick to Level 1 at first. Just add lift (and better tires) for level 2.

Mike

p.s. Make sure to get a tranny skid too if you can.

The month is comming to a close fast, so who plans to attend! Adam I would stick to lvl1 without a lift. I have only been 1 time so take the advice of others that have been a couple of times. After you air down (and belive me you will need to or you feel it in your bones) you will plow plenty 'o' rocks with the front skid. I am going on the 7th and will be doing lvl1 AGAIN, but it is a good time so plan to go and you can be my wing man.

I registered for Level 1 so we can all stick together as a group.

Don't forget to register by August 3.

Just a note guys: Paragon doesn`t like the idea of any more than 3 "club rigs" riding on a monthly ride. I don`t agree with that as it is no different than getting a bunch of buddies to go on a monthly ride but just letting you know what they have been saying lately (we are the cause of that I believe).

I`ve been thinking that we should have a specific day in a month for our "MA monthly runs". I know Randy mentioned about the following weekend (I have to doublecheck that). Also, Grant is leaving sometime in August. Anyone want to do a "farewell ride" for him?

My LOST decal is on a magnet. I can instantly be a non "club rig". :wink:

I can do Sunday the 14th of August, or any day that week actually, thru Friday. The 20th I have an affair to attend, the 21st leave for vacation.

I don't have my sticker yet, looks like Mike is the only true club member

Grant's leaving? Where to?

He can't really leave if he is truly lost. He just continues to be lost in another area...

Moving south. Thinking of bringing the Rubi out for this or the next weekend?

Mike

acbafam · **Posted:** Wed Jul 27, 2005 10:27 pm

so you got it huh?

rakcmei · **Posted:** Thu Jul 28, 2005 10:18 am

Still trying to schedule a time to get this thing off-road. It's been a tough and busy season, but I hope to get back on track. I'm still waiting on the rocker skids from Jeeperman. Other than that, nothing else has been done to her.

She'll hit the trails soon. I am so jealous everytime I read of all your exploits.
