    5 mile Night run this week?

    No. The guy who is on this forum (screen name Awz) has a first gen 4Runner on 31s; the other guy has a stone stock Nissan pickup (which is also on 31" tires if I recall correctly).

    5 mile Night run this week?

    Okay. For the record, I spoke to two co-workers (one is a member of this forum) and they both agreed to go with me. If you can't make it, at least I won't be alone. PS: PM me your cell number! ;)

    5 mile Night run this week?

    There is a chance I will get off work a little early (read: ~6pm) tomorrow night (Friday the 24th). I am hoping for the best and thus planning to go wheeling, either at Little Moab or the Snakes since AF canyon isn't open yet. If things go as I hope, I can be at the infamous Chevron at 7pm...

    Noob run #2 May 6-7 - Wheeling trip for new members

    Hmmm. Maybe I'll show up a couple hours early (with a friend or two) so I can have some playtime before the sun sets. Then I can stick around for the discussion before heading back home.

    Noob run #2 May 6-7 - Wheeling trip for new members

    Due to conflicts at work there is no way I can get Saturday off. :( I suppose I could come out Friday night, but since it's just a campfire discussion I doubt I'll be there. Sorry, Steve.

    Rattlesnake on Friday 4/1/11 ~5:30pm

    Sadly, no. I had planned to take my camera, only to learn at the last second that it is broken and needs to be replaced. :( If anyone else took any pictures, I was oblivious to it. And I really want a few shots of this TJ in action.

    Rattlesnake on Friday 4/1/11 ~5:30pm

    I understood, and I'm sorry you weren't there. We had a small group of just five vehicles: TurboMinivan - TJ I6 Scrivens - ZJ I6 89xjwheeler - XJ I6 Saty - JK 4dr Rubicon Bonner - JK 4dr Rubicon on 35" tires Overall, we took our time and enjoyed the scenery. I intentionally tried...

    Scrivens, it was good to have you (and 89XJwheeler) come out on our miniature noobie run of Rattlesnake on the 1st. I thought you did great for your very first trail run ever. I admit when I first saw you parked before the run I was worried you might damage your ZJ... but my fears were...

    Rattlesnake on Friday 4/1/11 ~5:30pm

    I hope you guys can both make it, since my co-worker just bailed on me--now I am all alone. There are a couple other "maybes" so I'll still be at Chevron at 5:30. We would hit the dirt turnoff at around 6:00, so keep that in mind if you're coming from the Tooele area.

    Rattlesnake on Friday 4/1/11 ~5:30pm

    Sadly, no. I had to sacrifice it to buy my home. I ended up owning it for only two years and put just over 10,000 miles on it. Man, did I love that Jeep. That was my first Wrangler; I now own my fifth Wrangler. My current one is only on 31" tires and a budget boost for now. On a...

    Rattlesnake on Friday 4/1/11 ~5:30pm

    Oh, yeah, you should totally be there, Drew. Maybe we can hold out just a little longer to give you time to get there. (Any chance you can get off just a few minutes early?)

    New Guy

    Are either of you available on Friday? I'll be running Rattlesnake (provided all of my co-workers don't bail on me). We'll leave from the Saratoga Springs Chevron just after 5:30, which should put us at the parking area by 6:00. (I made a thread about this in the upcoming wheeling trips...

    Rattlesnake on Friday 4/1/11 ~5:30pm

    The weather is supposed to be fantastic, so my plan is to go run Rattlesnake in the daylight. One or two co-workers are planning to join me (including the purple Nissan truck that made the noobie run with us), but of course the more the merrier. This trip will be similar to the noobie run in...

    TRIP REPORT - Noob Run 3-12-11

    Well today is definitely out, but perhaps next Monday (the 28th) we could plan to meet around 5:30pm or so and go run it. I guess we'll wait and see what the weather is going to be doing. (Weather.com currently calls for a 30% chance of rain that day... we'll see what they predict as the day...

    TRIP REPORT - Noob Run 3-12-11

    I'll be happy to run it in the daylight with you as well. I typically have Thursdays off work, though I might be able to make it on a Monday or Friday (very late in the afternoon or early evening) as well.

    New Transplant from DFW Texas

    Welcome to the forum. As I'm sure you know, you don't have to go all the way to Moab to find good Jeeping in beautiful scenery. There are great trails and lush scenery all around you! Just last month I sold my '97 Wrangler SE for $4800. Sorry I didn't wait longer. :( There are numerous...

    Steve's '94 Toyota x-cab mild build

    I'm glad you realize the price tag will be higher for the 17" wheels and tires. Don't forget, something else will be higher, too: the weight. Minimizing your unsprung weight pays numerous dividends (acceleration, braking, etc). This is why I will stick with 15" wheels once I eventually...

    Paperwork/legal issues with engine swap?

    Yep, you found me. I was hoping to bump into you last Friday night at the newbie run, but I didn't see you (assuming you made it out there). That coincides perfectly with what Mark has instructed me about my Miata. As long as the recipient car's original smog equipment setup is still...
