I think i could throw the boys in the jeep and make a day of it.
Post by: Chris36l on November 01, 2019, 07:31:47 AM
definitely interested, and now that i have the new lift in i feel a little more confident about being off road. I noticed the map has a lot of (what they call) beginner trails. How does the difficulty increase from the beginner to the moderate?It really just depends on the trail. But there are plenty at this park to get your feet wet and build some confidence.

Saw someone on fb talking about how the new trails were awesome! If I can find cheap flights I may make this ride. Really hoping to. If not it'll have to be Jan ride. I'm not flying in for Blk moose lol
YOU WONT!

I see there is a fee per person, will that fee be needed for my two young sons? No problem if it is just making sure before i get there. Just like to plan ahead.

Every GATR starts with a drivers meeting @ 9:00 am local time.
Their web page has changed. A lot of info at the beginning of this
thread has changed. Go to the web site for a map but there is no
sign of the waiver. When you check in at the gate they will take
care of everything.

No need to cancel. We'll figure it out. The more you ride, the more you learn and acquire what you need. We will put you between jeeps that have winches and ropes to pull you off things if needed. If anything I would say CB or hand held radio is really nice to have for communication purposes.

I'll probably be on bunny trails with you. We basically break into 2 groups. The "Bunny Trail Group" [slammin] and the "Fordy-Two's what did I break now?" group [rolleyes]. If enough people show up we'll have 3 groups.
You are never forced or cajoled into doing any trails you are not up to. There are often by passes and or you can back out. And if you need a spotter we are all, always willing to help. We stop often enough that if you don't have a cb or race radio, we will direct you or you can follow someone.
The riding gear guide is a suggestion, Something to work towards.

The Holiday Inn Express is not the cheapest, but it is clean and comfortable. They also give AOP discounts if you call in rather than book online.

Thanks for the congrats. I really appreciated it.
Please don't worry about being "rescued" or "winched", that's part of the fun and the learning process. And most of the times is better to be winched than insisting and breaking your Rig.
When I started in the off-roading 20y ago I lost good 2ys of nonsense insistence on some obstacles and breaking my jeeps, what really bothered others as it could be avoided accepting to use the winch after the 2nd or 3rd tentative... :-)
After this I turned on a total diff driver, I always accept guidance and will always avoid some risk of breaking my rig if we have the options available.
Cheers.

Very nice!
Any concerns about running 39's on D44's? Where in MD did you get it (I grew up there).

Hey BigMike.
I bought it from Sean Vanderwall, a cop that lives in Thurmont, MD. He was a great guy during all buying process.
Well the D44's are trussed, gusset, Yukon 5.38 gears and Chromoly shafts, so I will start using it gently with the 39's, but I don't see it breaking easily. The driveshafts are OEM, what I expect to be the "fuse" of the system...
I'm planning to upgrade the shafts to RCVs in the future, as some friends in Brazil are using this same setup with 40's (Trepador) without problems...
Cheers.

What type of wheeling is more common in Brazil? Rocks or mud?
Post by: j3ff3ry_j33p on November 11, 2019, 03:13:05 PM
If they're anything like the KO2 , the things are lighter than most.
yup, I checked. the 39x13.50R17/C KM3 it looks like the guy has is sitting at around 88lbs per tire. A Nitto 37 D carcass is heavier than that , I'm pretty sure.
Now, those creeper BLs weigh a lot more , heh.
my point being , if judicious with that jk skinny pedal , our friend will prolly be ok. I'd still want rcvs and suitable housings if I was gonna sling that much wheel. I'd go w a 37 and lighten my wheel choice if staying on the built 44s.

I ran 39 red labels on the pr44 with RCV for a while. To be fair, a 39 red is really a 37" tire. I was nervous a lot though, and took it very easy most of the time!

A 39 that measures to a 37 but has more traction than a (sticky trep) 42

to be fair , it isn't out of the question to run such a massive diameter but in the KM3.

Hi Jeffery,
Thanks you did a very fair assessment of my Rubi's current setup, I fully agree.
The ex-owner built this setup and did only 2 difficult trails on 37's end of life w/ these Creeper BLs without problems. He decided to sell it and got a great deal on these 5x 39's KM3 and installed it to help the sell.
My plan is to return to the trails with a "gentle approach" and if I see some risk, I will use that thing some are reluctant: Winch!
My next year bonus in April is already "budgeted" for the RCVs, anyway I know it won't be risk free from breakages,
If I start to have problems after the RCVs, my plan is to reduce to the 37's w/ lighter wheels.
I handled without breakages for 3 years doing lots of difficult trails w/ my last TJ with D30/D35 trussed, gusseted, G2 shafts, 4.56 G2 and 35's Creepy Crawler and BLs, so I learned to push that skinny pedal only when strictly needed. :-)
The guy that currently owns the TJ is much less gentle (and maybe luckier!) as the TJ stills there surviving without breakages...I almost had a heart attack with some videos he sent me. hahahaha
Cheers.

Just wondering with worth going on Friday evening after work to meet you there, or only going on Saturday early morning.

We use a cut that is not very valuable in the US or Argentina, named Picanha, what is very smooth and juicy.
Also on a typical Brazilian Barbecue we do on the grill:
- A salty sausage of porch named "Linguiça Toscana"
- Garlic Bread
- Chicken's hearts
- A brazilian cheese named "Coalho"
I found already Picanha, Sausage Toscana and Chicken's heart in Marietta, the cheese Coalho is very expensive here so some friends bring it from Brazil when they come (I have some at home).
The Garlic bread is a Brazilian bread that I buy on a Brazilian Bakery and I do the garlic paste.
Enjoy some pics of some recent ones...

This Brazilian BBW cooked vertically is very typical of the south of Brazil, I know how to do it, but it is not so "practical", the grill is much quicker! :-)

Well, a typical Brazilian BBQ we usually don't cook all the meat together, stop, do a plate and it's done. We keep grilling and snacking for 1-2 hours (or more, and of course talking how our wives are great and our jeeps are bad), so sides are really optional for those who like to do a dinner plate, sit and eat... :-)
Bring some bananas and Vanilla Ice cream, it's a typical desert we do on the grill too (of course only the bananas go on the grill...) :-)
I will bring with me my BBQ kit (knife, fork, cutting board, charcoal, some paper plates and plastic forks/spoons/knives)

Just let me know what I can bring! Food, drink, utensils, $$...
Well, a typical Brazilian BBQ we usually don't cook all the meat together, stop, do a plate and it's done. We keep grilling and snacking for 1-2 hours (or more, and of course talking how our wives are great and our jeeps are bad), so sides are really optional for those who like to do a dinner plate, sit and eat... :-)
Bring some bananas and Vanilla Ice cream, it's a typical desert we do on the grill too (of course only the bananas go on the grill...) :-)
I will bring with me my BBQ kit (knife, fork, cutting board, charcoal, some paper plates and plastic forks/spoons/knives)

OK, I'm in! I will be there sometime tomorrow AM, but maybe not by 9 like some of you guys. Definitely by lunchtime, though. Camping, probably leaving Saturday night, but that's TBD. I can bring some firewood, too.I'll post up our Channel numbers in the discussion thread when we figure it out

Count me in! Planning to be there before noon tomorrow, but probably not by 9. I'm going to camp. I know it's late notice for the BBQ, but I'm in if it's not too late. What can I bring?

I think we are really covered here, no?
I was wondering if someone has already a portable grill (preferably charcoal, but gas is OK), so I would not buy one in a hurry just for this weekend... Do you know if AOP has grills there and available?

I don't know about AOP having them, but I think the answer is NO.
I'll find a grill to bring, likely charcoal. I'm planning to arrive mid-afternoon and take a couple of conf calls from the truck...so I will have it there in time for dinner.

Right there with you, but I don’t have a heater buddy. At least we can build a fire this time, unlike a Gulches a few years ago when where 10 of us were under a pop up canopy with tarps on the side and a heater buddy in the middle

At least try one, I did some BBQs at home for some neighbors and they are now new fans of grilled Picanha, cheese Coalho, and Chicken hearts (after several ugly faces when I said "chicken hearts")... :-)
I prepare it before with garlic, salt and little of pepper, and some mayonnaise / garlic when grilling to avoid getting dry.
Post by: Carlos LOBO on November 14, 2019, 10:27:00 AM
Worse case, if no one brings a grill, there is a wal mart 10 min away.
Yes, that's my plan. I'm just avoiding buying things to be used once and adding more stuff in my garage.

Changing the subject to the Trail Bag List, I really like to go to trails very well prepared but I just bought this jeep last weekend and I'm in a busy week at work, so I will not have the time to have all the complete set of tools, things and spare parts as I was used before in Brazil. Also, I would like to buy it calmy.
I will go with a rescue kit of 4x D-rings, 2 recovery straps, 1 tree saver, Gloves, Snatch Block. I tested my winch and it is OK, the remote control is inside the car w/ battery. I will also put in a small bag some tools I have at home, and will bring the 2 OEM driveshafts the ex-owner gave me.
I would like to know if it is an issue, or I can follow someone well equipped with tools, so if something happens I can count on using it.

Nothing wrong with being prepared! But, there will be plenty of tools, hands, beer, advice if and when needed.

In Brazil, I was famous in the Jeep club for being the guy almost bringing a complete repair shop inside my jeep, 90% never was used, but was there just in case. :-)
When I sold my ex-TJ, I gave as a gift a big box full of spare parts to the new owner, the guy smiled from ear to ear...

I broke my front DS at AOP once. Marc and Ben had it disconnected and in my hands before I could find a wrench. And I believe @Danny Kinder had one on order before I left to drive home. This club never leaves a down'ed wheeler. Ever. We just want people to be prepared. You seem well prepared.

we referenced it ystrdy , on-trail , 2-3 times to verify frequencies were correct on several members who haven't had them programmed ( edit- for me included , &which, considering what I do , is kinda stupid... :eyeroll: ) when we opted to switch channels within the troupe I rode with all day.

I have a question on this. When all of this came about I was under the impression that the GATR 1 thu 10 were the same frequencies as GMRS 1 thru 10, but when I put my radio on GMRS 13 I was not able to connect with anyone. I had to enter the frequency in manually and it worked, but the frequency for GATR 13 matches GMRS 3. So is there a chart showing what the frequencies are for the GATR channels or am I all wet here?
And no @TravisMac this is not a BOOMER moment!
Dang it Boomer! Brand new sticky too!
