I plan on doing a badlands run this Friday the 23rd. Anybody interested in joining me?

I wish I could join you but trying to save my days for the babies... Are you planning on testing out the new JK?

Just in time for the cold weather to return, eh? If not for a little thing called a job, I would be there. (My vacation days are already spoken for this year.) Have fun and take lots of pictures.

I'm game...

Only thing is...I'm all stock and I dont know if you plan on running any really aggressive trails (orange trail) but if you guy(s) don't mind taking the extra time to spot for me and help me along I'd really like to go. I talked a little to Pix about it and he said you were thinking about doing a small run.

Should be able to take a Friday off for a college visit day... :lol:

Yes, The jk will be put to the test.

FasTRX, Do you have rock rails? and skidz

FastTRX · **Posted:** Mon Mar 12, 2007 11:28 am

No rockers...yet. Have a front skid...no tranny or tank skid...

We ran the green trail last time...did ok like this. Not sure if this will be ok (dont know what you have planned to run). Dont let me hold you back...if I'm too stock I'll sit this one out.

You still have the rails off of your renny still for sale?

Boulderbars are gone.

We will be running some of the more aggressive lines, but you can always take the bypass if you don't want to risk body damage. It's your jeep. As long as you have tow hooks, bring it.

We will be on the trail by 9:15am and heading home around 4pm eastern time.

How many people are making this one?

I'm not so sure I can make it now...but it's still pending. I may be there. Atleast I'm hoping.

Mmmm, mouth watering. . . . So.. . TEMPTING! ! ! Can't make it this time as i've major business to attend to Friday.

Definately up for another run in the next month or so. Hopefully by then will have Al's upper A's on and my new rock rails (bent the OME rails last time at Badlands as a matter of fact! :twisted:

). Have fun & share pics.

I am also having some issues with the 16th now(Work) I'm gonna have to push this run back to the 23rd!
Right now, there are two jeeps going. My jk and a tj. I like small groups, 6 or less. We cover alot of ground and explore as many trails as possible to keep it interesting. Last time we found some new trails and some great hills!

callaway · **Posted:** Tue Mar 13, 2007 7:03 pm

23rd might work 4 me. Would give me a chance to break in the new Poison Spider diff. cover. Will let you know next week!

Awesome! This will be my first time on the orange trail so I'm pretty stoked to get out there. Just hope we have a safe damage free run.

AndySRT · **Posted:** Fri Mar 16, 2007 10:11 pm

I might be able to make this if i get the neon thats broken out of my garage.

Bakerkj · **Posted:** Fri Mar 16, 2007 10:24 pm

More bad news for my little wheeling trip! I have more clients coming into town and I'll be working the 23rd.

I never announce my plans to go wheeling till the day before I go, so this doesn't happen. Anyway, i'm now gonna try for the 22nd, but don't let that stop you guys from doing the 23,24,or 25th if that works for you.

Sorry about the bs. Big Daddy's gotta pay the bills!

FastTRX · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:44 am

Sorry to hear that Bakerkj...

I have still planned on taking the day off and running on the 23rd. Can I get atleast 1 or 2 other people to come with? Even if this is your first time, I'm pretty much stock and we can keep it on the green trail. If someone has experience and wants to lead me/us to the orange trail..I'm game.

So anyone for the 23rd???
