just wanted to start a thread insted of highjacking the others about it

The town is Gilmer TX for more info you can google search Texas Motorized Trails Coalition it is the Barnwell Moutain OHV Recreation area
several clubs from LA go up every year in January this year we are going the weekend of the 20 and 21
Gilmer is just north of I20 out of Longview TX

What up any body want to join us?

Some pics from last year










or go to www.LA4X4.com and look at the members pics then look for "gilmer" pics
This place rocks

I reckon this would be a swaybar disconnect sort of OHV Park??? I'll see if i can make it, but no promises since school is going on at the same time.

what you see are the "big boys"
The pics I posted I was running 30's and I was open up front ,trac loc rear

Last year Travis ,nolakj, came out stock with no skids we had a few very new stockers ,temp tag stock
there are trails for every size rig as long as you have skids you will be fine and there is always the old top of the hill and wach guys break stuff
as I said once befor you could stay on the main road never hit a trail and still have a blast

Stockers can and will have fun at this place. There are about 10 trails that I ran stock as a peacock (no skids, no rock rails, no lockers etc..). I had to turn around a couple times on a couple trails but I just went and had a blast not knowing what I was getting into at all. Not to mention the ride along factor and camping out. Plenty of guys with nicely built Jeeps are more than happy to take a passenger on some trails you might not otherwise get to be on wheeling a Liberty, built or not. I will be there and I highly reccomend it to anyone that can make it.

very well put
if for one reason to meet some great folks and get into seeing what a "jeep" can do
besides the trails are 2 way and plenty wide for 2 way trafic
if enough KJ's show I will be more than happy riding with yall on the "easy" trails until you get bold and hit the "good stuff"

Travis if you want to hook up next week for that skid call me and let me know
we may be able to work out something with the guys @ searchers and get it built and I will pick it up on my way to the meeting in Nov.

Right on Jason. i will probably be calling you tomorrow to see when you're headed to Voodoo. Natalie and I got the weekend passes so we will be coming and going both days. YEaaaaaaah!!!

been 4 days and no call what up?
I will be working on the TJ all week so give me a buz and I will let you come look at the skid after use not that anything is differant besides scraches
If you want to get one from searchers befor gilmer you may need to get on the list now!

How much did that skid run ya Jason....and do you think the underside has changed much in design from one year to the next that one like yours would fit under my KJ???

I know.... I don't call, I don't write..... Haha. I have nothing going on this evening so I will have to stop by yo crib if you will be around. My next round of goals is this.
1. Xmission Skid - Pull it, measure it, get measurements to Phil.
2. Bumpstop extensions - figure out how to measure max upward travel before rub and fab extension.
3. Decide on which rockrails to go with. Still not sure if I should go with RLs sliders or Bouler bars and have a up and out tube welded on after the fact.??
4. Change all lube. They are due.

Looks like my weekend is gonna be busy.

Oh and 5. Install my 4x4 lights. Bling bling biatch!!!

This is a trick question as it was a prototype and needed to be modified after the fact as of right now I would say $150+/-
I will be having some work done on the TJ by the same guy on 11/13 and nolakj is my ride home we will be bringing the "prototype with us to have one built for his rig it will be better and stronger so I would say maby top end $200 if that but that will be a "bolt up" so you dont have to drill in the skid you will need to drill in to the other skids and into the cross members for 1/2" bolts
go check out his web site www.searchers4wd.com

Any body plan on making this besides me and nolakj?
LA4X4 will be selling T-shirts for I think $15
Like I said this usualy turns out to be the biggest ride of the year and there is no limit on who can go or what size rig you need I would realy like to see a group of KJ's out there

Looks like a great place for the CJ - too bad its mangled. But we have a couple months. Thanks for the heads up.

Come on you guys. There's gotta be a few of us that can make it to this awesome ride. I will be celebrating my 1 year of wheelin at this trip. The KJ is set up much better than it was the last time she went to Gilmer.

You know I am in
I am not planing on camping this year but rather staying in a near by hotel

Hotelin' it eh? Can't say I blame you. I gotta get my use out of this camping gear. Plus I gotta see what Natalie is made of. If she can camp out in January up on a mountain she will be A Ok in my book.
