I didnt even know about this until this morning. One of Dawn's co-workers envited us to run up with them. I guess they belong to another club. I intended to post here until I found this thred. LOL!! If that is in fact the case, does anyone have an issue rolling with another club?
Currently, the plan is the head up that way around noon. But I am going to see about leaving MUCH earlier. Wana try to be up there by 9 as well. I'll be on the net, ch 7 listening for when you guys start rolling in.

So will they run out of FREE and then we have to pay?

Even if so, it's only $20 bro. I am good with that for a good day of fun. BUT free is always better.  ;D

I stand corrected. Apparently, they are NOT part of another club. But are kinda interested in GATR.  ;D They just heard about this and asked if we wanted to go. Still no answer yet on the time line for us though.

Ok, I must have some sort of crazy addiction. I have been up since 4, already have the Jeep packed, and am ready to get up to M Mtn. Is this normal, or do I need to get myself checked out here?   {sniper}

I don't see a problem. Packing up the cooler now, leaving as soon as I can get the 14 hear old out of bed.

Good ride guys, even if it was just for one day.  We got to see dry MM AND wet MM, totally different parks for sure.

Ryan, good to meet you, look forward to seeing at JeepFest next weekend.

Good times. I was going to hang around and grab a ride with you but once the rained rolled in I was done. Waiting on a price for my upper control arms. Good thing I am getting that car tomorrow so I dont have to drive the Jeep around till its fixed.

Glad you were able to get home, I didn't know what to expect with that broken CA.  That DD honda is coming at a perfect time.

Yeah not real sure. At first we all assumed it was from the CAs hitting the supports for the engine skid.... But as others have pointed out, its like the metal is twisted as if it is binding up. Where it broke it isnt like a clean snap, more like a tear like the arm was twisted

Should be easy to find a stock arm for free if needed.

You weren't kidding there with the 2 diffrent parks given weather conditions! It wasn't too bad once the rain started to dry though. I sorta found everything to get a bit stickier than before the rain started. Great to meet you too Tony! Can NOT wait for next weekend man! For sure.  </BEER/>

I still don't know how my stock arms held up for 3 years of abuse. That stamped steel is flimsy crap. Jeep got it right on the JK's though.
