Hey y’all. Long time lurker here on the forums. I’ve never been to a meeting or trail ride with y’all before. I want to ride at choccolocco in a few weeks but I don’t want to hold anybody up. I’ve got an unlifted 87 ford bronco on 33’s. I’ve only ever been trail riding once or twice before several years ago. I looked over the rules/required equipment and I have everything, except for maybe the radio/gmrs license. I do have a CB but I need to look into the gmrs license to see if I can get it before the trail ride.Chocco has lots of bypasses and easier trails to access the harder trails so you can also observe others. I would say it’s a good park to come out to and just experience what a ride is like. I’m attaching an image from my Avenza app that shows the park map (a little blurry) but you can see all of green and blue trails that you should be able to explore.
I saw there were a few guys on 35’s but it looks like I would be the smallest tire there, and probably the least experienced as well. Does this park have any easy trails/lots of bypasses? Will anyone else be running the easier trails with me? Is this the trip for me? Or should I wait for another trip?

Weekend could have gone better for me, but weather was great.
Mine is a long story, but the cliff notes version is I lost rear brakes on a steep, loose hill. We were looking for the new trail near cherry bomb and the route I took was not it, so I was attempting to back down when I lost the brakes and hit a tree going at a pretty good clip. It could have been much, much worse, so I’m thankful I’m in one piece and only lost a coilover and some brake fittings.
Thank you to @patman and @clark123456 for human-centipeding me back to camp
Here's a video I took years ago wheeling with some guys up in Minnesota.Damn - what happened there? Hope he was ok.

I’d keep an extra stub shaft to run in your unit bearing in the event you toast a shaft & need to get home & you don’t have a spare shaft.
Without the stub shaft in place it will ruin the unit bearing.
Same concept.
Yep rear brake line got pulled out.Weekend could have gone better for me, but weather was great.

Man that sucks but glad you and the buggy are ok. What caused your brake loss? Brake lines?
Engine kept dying, so he would let it roll back a little but and then dump the clutch to restart it. Until it didn't restart!Here's a video I took years ago wheeling with some guys up in Minnesota.Damn - what happened there? Hope he was ok.
