OPEN RIDE - BEASLEY KNOB APRIL 12 2014: DISCUSSION

[Mortalis5509]

Yeah I don't get the comment about needing a v8.  You can get just as much wheel speed withwith a 6, and maybe less weight.  Now if you mean the 8 has huge axles and tires, I get it.  I made it on 40s when the smaller guys couldn't. Had a 6.

Clark you'll be fine, well as much as the rest of us.

Reading my post would have told you that an 8 is needed if it was wet. It wasn't referring to dry conditions.

Here are two videos from when Kirk and I were out there last. Both of these are in the same spot, right at the tree root. I had to go around the rock and up the root a little on the right side (IROKs......).  With stickies, Kirk came right up the rock face with a little wheelspeed. Now to see if I can get this vids posted without screwing them up.

This will be 80% of your view most of the day
To me this is a good step up from forest service road
rides where you hardly ever use 4 wheel drive. With
mostly hill climbs and several spots with rocks you will
use 4 wheel drive at Beasley.

Did read it.  Still doesn't make sense to me.  V8 would provide more horsepower, and you need wheel speed and traction when it's wet.

It was wet when we were there.

Will try to make the ride, not sure yet.  Would love to say I had done 93B.

There are some serious inclines and declines at this place. Even though an easy park and 90% can be done in a stock wrangler, an amateur can get in trouble real quick here. As a club we have had more than a few roll overs here.

This is a park where you need to leave some space between you and the next guy all day. When going up or coming down, keep your wheels straight and stay off the walls both directions.

Also if you experience overheating problems in your vehicle, this is not the park to bring it to.

[tjsahara00]

Due to previous rides and experience's at Beasley Knob
it is imperative that you have front and rear tow hooks
and your own strap's. This is for the safety of you and
everyone else. This is MANDATORY!!

Kevin nailed it. YOU MUST HAVE A TOW POINT FRONT AND REAR. And make sure it is a good tow point, not your leaf spring shackle or dinky hole in the frame. I have spent too many great days at this place pulling guys up and down the trails. Also, make sure you have GOOD TREAD on your tires. I remember a time where we had 2 guys show up on bald tires and did nothing all day but give Dannys rig a work out for pulling them all over the place. If you don't meet those 2 requirements then you might as well stay at the house. This is a VERY easy place but has very steep inclines and declines with ruts to traverse and some off camber spots while doing so. I have seen more rollovers and dumb things happen here than ANY other park in the south.

Now for some poking...

1. Mortallis, I have never needed a v8 and don't plan to need one anytime soon. Come off the saddle  //OLDSKOOL//

2. Kirk, that rig is way more capapable than you drive it as. Give me the keys and I could show you  //;D//
