never been to beasley. if I have my heep fixed by then I might come to check it out...esp 93b apparently. {letseat}Depending on the condition of 93b after this winters closure, 93b might check you out! Lol! I went right before it closed for the winter and it was in real bad shape.
Wish I could make it to give 93b another shot! But I will be hung over from jet lag from china >:(

I plan to attend, assuming I can find it. First time out for me. I am in Roswell (GA 400 & Holcomb Br) if anyone wants to meet up in the morning. I'll bring the donuts!

I not too far from where you are, so if I go, we could meet up & caravan to the other meeting spot.
OK, I'm a newbie. No MTs yet - everything stock on an '09 Unlimited. Eager to join up though. Is this a good event for me or will I wind up holding everyone up?
Looks like this is going to be a nice relaxing ride {letseat}And what the hells wrong with that????
fwiw, bcochran over on JeepForum will most likely be riding with me. I've been pestering him to come out on a ride for a couple years now since he used to own a TJ, and now an XJ. {hihi}

I don't think the trails can handle any more. :o :o

Sounds like you know the trails pretty good Doug, why don't you come up and show us around? Really, I don't know the trails over there or I would help out, I have only been there one time. Surely someone going has been there a few times and knows the trails! Hint, Hint!OMG! what are we gonna do? Someone needs to come up with a plan quick or its gonna be chaos!
Thank you Andy for stepping up! :D :D
If you want to, you could give out maps at the waffle house, and divide everybody up with a plan not to meet head on. {no} Only way I know how to do that at Beasley is a delay between the groups on the same route.
Group 1 heads straight to 93B and Group 2 and 3 head for the 93C and 93D loop. Same route.
I know the Allsouth boys can lead the 93B group. And they all want revenge!
heck... just talked to a guy with a 91 comanche 4x4 for $800... got acouple things he want too... maybe i can get it ready lol...You better hurry up! Get to wrenchin'!

I hit beasley today and sheared the bolts off the rear yoke on 93D. I had to climb the hills backwards and descend them forwards to get back out.Have they done any maintenance on the trails? How does 93b look?

MAN! Is Beasley that rough? If it is that bad, we'll have to duck out of this one, I can't tear up my ride to work!
I not too far from where you are, so if I go, we could meet up & caravan to the other meeting spot.
Waffle House on Holcomb Bridge & GA 400 (the one on the west side of 400) at 7AM sound good?
Is anyone going up from the Roswell/Cumming area Saturday morning? I am not sure yet if I am going but wanted to see what convoys if any are forming.
So... of the almost 30 rigs planning to attend this ride, how many are planning on joining me on 93b?Sounds like you will be leading 93B

With all the axles and driveshafts around there, you're rwd only?
Axles & driveshafts arent the problem. Cant do much with a 3.73 in the rear and a 4.10 in the front.
So... of the almost 30 rigs planning to attend this ride, how many are planning on joining me on 93b?
What CB channel will y'all be using?
So..... What are the requirements, or revomendations for 93b? Last time folks with front snaf rear lockers had trouble.
Or in other words will a TJ on 3" lift and 33's(m/t), open/open even have a chance?

So..... What are the requirements, or revomendations for 93b? Last time folks with front snaf rear lockers had trouble.If you feel like pullin cable and winching for about 4 hrs go ahead. The first loose rock turn and rock ledge was pretty bad last time i was there. I gave it a shot in my tj with 33s and a rear locker and got nowhere. Just a bunch of hopping up and down, felt like the u joints was gonna snap any second so I quit. I could have winched on over it and went a lil farther before having to do it again but my defintion of wheelin aint winchin more than drivin! But I do plan on watchin the others try to pull cable on that steep, loose, rocky hill!

There is always attrition so we never have everybody that signs up. Maybe there will be 30+ like last time.
Have fun!
Just seen this. Thought it was cool. We are coming to town!

What happened? Of the guys from here I've ridden with, usually if you break, you will have more help than is useful...

GARover, I hope today didn't leave a bad taste in your mouth. If you take the time to come on another ride we'll show you what GATR is really about, having a good time and staying safe no matter the rig or the modifications.
I'm not sure what the big who-hah was about it being a land rover that I kept hearing on the CB...
gesh... sounds like a heck of a ride! glad you all made it back! So picks and final rig count anyone?I think the final head count was around 23-24. I didnt take any pics but I seen a few cameras floating around so there has gotta be some pics! Post em' up! Did anyone get a pic of the rover in distress or 93b?
NICE PICS!!! I will post ours, as well as the video, tomorrow! We (Patty) had a hard day and it's time for bed now!I hope Patti is doing ok.
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

Near Death Experience! :hlp

Come again????
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
I took the advise of those around me...stay off the brake and turn into a slide if it happens. I did the turn into the slide but probably touch the brake once too much. Much to learn!

Congrats on your 1st ride! That JK U Rubi is extremely capable. Throw on a budget lift and some 35's and you've got a very capable wheeling machine. I have a set of 4 door Xenon flares for sale that you need! :D
Glad it worked out. Those that know me know I would have had a major portion of padding ripped out of the center of the drivers seat! HUGE pucker for off camber. ;)
My technique for a slippery decent....
Low gear, ease down, if I start to slide, I ACCELERATE a little getting the wheels up to the slide speed so I regain complete control. No brakes.
Once control is felt, I try to slow down a little.
{toast}
Okay guys... Just got back home from the ride at Beasley. Had a safe trip home.. It was great once again to meet all the new guys and to see some of you regulars. All in all I think the ride was awesome...
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
{ehm} That would be me. {hihi} First time ever on the trails. While the JEEP was perfectly capable of making the entire course, my skills were not. This was the only spot I thought OH CRAP and unfortunately it was 20 minutes into the trails. I will let others describe the trail conditions as the best I can do is OH CRAP.

Thanks to everyone who got me straighten out. I am pretty sure the call I made on the CB was WE'RE GONNA ROLL...HELP! :hlp lol After a short conversation about how the hell are we going to fix this. The guys pull off the wall with no fuss. THANKS!
Hey all! Had an excellent time again!dude i just saw that jeep at allsouth, and i was wondering wth happened
I would be one of the folks that mentioned Beasley isn't that bad.... tho I spoke from experience last time I went with my stock TJ on 31's and open/open, in fact Ted (TJ) made it everywhere the group went as well, stock, open and on highway tires.
Ted and I left the group around 3 to go eat into town. We went back to the trails and were just going to circle them all again as they were mapped out on the GPS.
Well, we got to the very top of 93C, interesting enough is last time when we decided to go back on the trails, this is the same spot where the YJ broke the D35 axle shaft, we stayed back to run parts from the trail head and for repairs.
Anyway, we stopped at the top when we saw another group of two Jeeps, and someone said "Hey, yous may wanna watch this - he's either gonna roll it or break something!" So we stopped and watched. There was an XJ and TJ.
Turns out it was Danny from Allsouth Autosports in a custom XJ he just built, was climbing up a spot when it rolled, hit a tree, then landed on it's side with the underbody against the tree. The TJ with them had a winch, which shortly stripped out the gears and the XJ had a winch. Between all of us we managed to have enough resources to get the XJ back on it's wheels. The rear driveshaft broke so that was removed and it now only had front wheel drive, a powersteering line came off, that was fixed and it was driving on it's own power.
There were two other guys in one of those polaris ranger buggy things that said they knew a short cut to get back out, I was looking at my GPS and didn't see it, but they have rode the trails more then I. Well it was once we were at the very bottom of the mountain on the otherside of 93C, they realized they made a wrong turn. With only FWD, the big XJ had a very hard time getting itself over the steep hillclimbs. We hooked it to my TJ and I pulled him up the whole way until we finally made it back to the gravel road that leads out of the trails. It was a great way to break in the one day old tires!
I didn't get many pictures, others did and someone from their group even got a video of the roll over. He said building a cage for it was the next thing on the list, and he just painted it.
The tree that the XJ was strapped to is where it was first at before the roll

Just checked out the videos. Nice job. They were cool. I didn't have any sound on the first one, but it could have been me.
What camera and editing software are you using? Any complaints?
One thing, was everyones camera broke when I rode by? No pics of me. The video my wife took looks like the blair witch project. Its so bumpy i get car sick watching...
These are the videos I took, not of the ride, but after the ride. On sunday Me and Rick went out playing at some trails elsewhere.{ehm}
