Myself and the wife, and a budie in his xj will be there. We plan on heading out SAT. morning!!

Look for a newer Pewter colored Tahoe, may have www.NKYFBA.com on the back window ( Wayne and Craig)and a jacked up diesel Doge ext cab pickup ( Tye). They are in my camaro club, just ask them about Marty ( BLAZER) from the nkyfba club.

i have to say you have a sweet looking liberty! it looks like you squeezed every inch of lift you could get out of it. the amount of lift you have makes mine look stock!

was this all on public land

tjkoen01 · **Posted:** Sun Mar 08, 2009 6:03 pm

yes, there might have been one portion that was on private land, however we were granted permission to travel on it.

Tjkoen01, Thanks!! I saw you'r red kj as well, looked good!! I wasn't sure who was who and never caught you behind the wheel. Other wise I would of said HI!! It was a good time though, my buddie in the green XJ provided a couple mile tow for a silver subaru that went for a swim in a foot + of water. I tried to resisatate the PCM that was located on the pass. floor board (STUPID ENGINERS) but was unsucessful!! My self and friends XJ we made it out dead last but was still a nice and easy trip. :wink:

Chris, I will try this week to get pictures off friends camara!!!!

i saw the subaru with a tow strap on the front of it, but we didn't think we would have time to stop and see what was up. as it turns out we were an hour late getting back. there were 3 of us (me, a YJ and a TJ) traveling together, the YJ was having carb trouble so we stopped several times to play with it. eventually we gave up when the tranny started belching red fluid out of the input shaft seal. that's where you passed us while we were waiting on the truck and trailer to load him up. (if it wasn't bad enough that the YJ broke down, his trailer broke down on the way home...so much for an easy trip!). This is also where my buddy with the 4runner caught up with us. AND to top the whole thing off, my wife was coming down with the flu (didn't know it at the time) so we didn't hang around long after we turned in the $2000 direction packet.

Sounds, like alot of work for some easy "SCENIC" trails don't it !! Still, was a good time, I think there is one coming up in APRIL I might get (TOWSTRAP) to come out to. I talked to the guy in charge he said it's slightly easyer , :cry:

But he also reminded me that there is a better one thats alot more challenging comeing in the summer months!!!!

my buddy Kris (he had the white tj and m416 trailer) and I are thinking about this one in July:

Yep, I was just talking to Dustin, my buddie in the green XJ about that today. Im almost positive we will be going, just not sure if Im going to take the KJ or my XJ . By the way where did your buddie in the white TJ get that trailer from, military surplus , or just lucky to find one somewhere????

I hope, this Rally in july has some challenging water crossings, insted of the puddles we delt with this Sat.!!!!
