It worked for me just after you posted it. Now its just the banner. Hmmm

what is NLPD?

National Public Lands Day. 4x4 groups from all over Utah plan service projects on NPLD as not only a show of stewardship but a show of force.

Hey all. Thanks for the run, that was one of the best wheeling trips I think I've had. Got pulled over by one of the sheriffs just after fairfield. He said I kept going over the white line on the right, but the people behind me said I wasn't HMMM!! Anyway, can't wait for the next run

I took a little bit of video. I'll see if I can get it posted up here.

I was right behind you in the first section so I'd be interested in seeing the video to see how my Jeep was flexing in some spots.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I've got 25 min of HD video of your jeep. It's not too exciting though, not much flexing going on.

 

[Cascadia]

despite your experience, 22r's aren't typically slow. Just when they have 4.10s and 37s.

I was leading the pack, and I have a 1.6L suzuki engine with stock gears and 33's. Not quite as bad as angelo, but almost

Ha. I was going to say Steve was probably leading the way with his 1.6 but I didn't want to be too much of a rig racist. I know angelo was slow cause of the tires and gears.

 

[sixstringsteve]

that's not rigist, it's the truth. I'm still waiting on my reduction box, then it'll do 85 MPH just fine.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

...That would be a fun day/night. I can plan a noob run just fine, but Kurt is the master of overnighters via backroads. I'm sure he doesn't have anything better do to than plan yet another run

I'd be more than happy to help plan an overnighter for a group. I'd still like to chat some more about an organized newbie day class. I know you need to unwind from this last run but lets chat about it at some point.

Thanks Steve

Thanks a bunch for setting this up Steve. Great turnout. I have not done much nightime wheeling so I had a great time. Definatley try to make future runs. Lots of great folks!!!

I would love to do a day or a overnight run. Count me in if you plan one.

Had a great time, We made up to Waynes world and gave it a few good trys but were rejected!! We then headed up to constrictor and made it up to the rock garden at the left turn before Eagles nest, Tim in his jeep was the only one to make it up, It was a great time, I love how the dark changes to view on the trail. The snakes and Hells Revenge my favorite 2 night runs. Thanks again.

Radiator Rapids is the name of it. It deserves a sign so everyone that is rejected knows it's name lol.

Let's do it. there Is definitely a need, and if we combine training with a fun trip then we'll get a good turn out. I'm not as burnt out as I thought I would be, thanks to All the help of those who showed up on Friday. Let's do it.

 

[DsmRacing]

Steve, I'd first like to say thank you for putting on this event. I was absolutely shocked on the turnout. I've done other club gatherings in the past, but were nothing like yours! This was my first offroading trip in the jeep, and I had alot of fun and stressed out at the same time. I definitelty still have a lot to learn and some stuff that I'll be purchasing soon. My neighbor had the stock TJ Rubicon that made the 2nd part and his first time on that trail. I was impressed with his rig and dissapointed with mine. So, I'll be changing that

I met a lot of guys, too many to remember names However, I'd like to personally thank the older gentlemen with the full size truck that was behind me!! Sorry for not catching your name, but thanks for all the pointers and keeping an eye on me

Just to be clear, I've never had a turnout like this for any of my trail runs. That wasn't normal (although I wish it were)
