Been searching the forums, cant find the guy that made his own for a diff part of the front bumper.

If there was anything like that that could be found it would be greatly appreciated. My dad has a machine shop where we could pretty much get most of everything done as long as he's not too busy. Generic tow rings that i could bolt or weld on would be fine with me as long as they can pull their weight(no pun intended), the bullbar look has grown on me. Thank!

I believe the key to using different hooks is having something to drop your mounting down and inch or so. But as I think, where will they stick out? Do you have a trimmed or full bumper?

First time he did it, pictures are broken but there are good instructions.

Same guy, new idea.

I think options are limited to your imagination and the availability of high quality hardware.

I went and installed front tow hooks this weekend and now I found out that i definitely can't make it. Oh well, I'm sure I'll find another opportunity to have to use them. It sucks living so close and not being able to fit it into my schedule.

Well, off the top of my head (though I will still come minimal as the highlight is the day time :JEEPIN:

)

Sleeping Bag and Pad
Tent
Fire
Stove
Something to cook on fire or stove
Provision for rain canopy (rope, stakes, tarp and some random poles)
Full range of appropriate clothing x 2
Flash Light and\ or Lantern
Any random outdoor doohickies...

I really get mania when I pack. (minimalistic could go out the door) It all depends on who ends up coming with (space being the concern). The people I can stand to drive 8 hours at 4 mph with seem to be having life complications as of late. D@mn economy.

That said, add some more to the list as you see fit. Worst case we are close to civilization... we'll just have to hike to the store :JEEPIN:

WoooooHoooo!

Edit: I'm sure camping in a jeep is acceptable, if not preferred.

Camping can come in all forms. You could call, but I really think that if you can camp on premises, your truck will be near by and no self respecting off road adventurer would tell you, you can't sleep in your jeep.

Worst case, we will build you a dope tent out of a tarp... or you could use an extra if I fit it in with the rest. Could possibly bring three total? May need two. May not.

Jeepin_it_real · **Posted:** Sun Apr 10, 2011 11:05 pm

I'd rough it in a tarp made tent if that was the case lol... I'm pretty down to rough it... as far as food and such, anyone do any research if there a near by super market etc?

DoubleK · **Posted:** Sun Apr 10, 2011 11:24 pm

you can bring frozen meat and stuff like that in a cooler. i guess the people that will be staying at a hotel will chill at the campground till everyone goes to sleep. i think only so far john and mike are camping bc noone has gotten back to me yet. i messaged everybody. or mike and john, you guys can chill with everyone out and about. i know quiet time is at 11, then knocked out by 1 or something like that. mike listed all the essentials for camping. im gonna bring some stuff too.

As far as the day of goes... should I bring a cooler with some stuff to eat for lunch? How long are we going to be on the trails for?

WickedKJ · **Posted:** Mon Apr 11, 2011 10:12 am
