The guided rides will be in groups depending on your tire size and or skills: When you check in specify which group you plan to ride in. This will help us to determine trail guides.

40" & above - This is the big boys - you will need lockers in both axles and a working winch - expect body damage
37" to 40" - you will need locker in both axles and a working winch - potential body damage
37" & smaller - Should have lockers in both axles (at least 1 locker) - potential body damage
35" & smaller (if needed) - This will be for the mostly stock group

40+ only expect body damage if you drive like @clark123456

I’m happy to do a butt as well if we think we will have enough people. 

Either way I’ll bring salsa, guacamole, cheese dip, and chips. Maybe make a 7 layer dip or something of the sort.

Anyone coming to this ride that has the Rock Krawler control arm joints?  If so, I have the sockets needed to rebuild them

I have no use for them.  Yours for a couple IPA’s

I only had enough booze to do 2 1/2 gallons.
Probably could have stretched it though, they are pretty strong.
The Gran galla is a little to orange for me, but they wanted 100 for a handle of Gran Mariner. I know that stuff is expensive, but that's crazy.

What a great trip! 

The weather was awesome,  the trail conditions were excellent,  and there were a lot of new faces and rigs (and old ones).

Thanks to Tony for the pork (it was awesome), John for the taco meat (also awesome),  Chuck and sherry for the poppers (both styles were good), and Sam for the cheese dip.   Thanks to those who brought the plates, utensils,  tortillas,  chips,  etc.

And thanks to Brian for the margaritas, guitar playing,  and singing.

This will definitely go down as one of my favorite wheeling trip.
Our group of little tires did a lot of obstacles. And did really well with relatively little drama.

Thanks to everyone as well. Dinner was really good. And Chuck did a great job leading us around.

I did find that I blew out a coil spring spacer and the other one is cracked. I'm sure I'll find more stuff as I get into it(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220918/9b87d35c393b9e7cf57206ffa1342053.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220918/6c29fd1b1edb6abeb1d406f7f815268f.jpg)

Great weekend for sure. Weather and park conditions were perfect.  AOP, when dry, is a very fun park.

Thanks to all for being all the tasty food and sides , Sat dinner was excellent!!
