So with the talk of Friday I went ahead and requested it off. I was quickly reminded that is the weekend of the Masters. This is a huge event for us and im responsible for the monitoring and quick resolution of any service delivery issues. I'm hoping I can get another manager to cover as I already have the plan ready to go. Then it will be an interesting conversation with my boss. Wish me luck. The entire weekend is at risk for me.
Damn those rich southerners and they golf tournament. Good luck

I'll defintitely go if someone has an open seat on the trails for me. My lift still hasn't shipped yet so I'm not sure if it'll be done in time.
If I go, which is very likely, I'll have an open seat for Saturday. You ride at your own risk :)

Will probably shoot for SFWDA Trailfest May 1 but can't post much about that since it conflicts with another GATR event.

Well this just sucks. Certain work responsibilities just can't be ignored. Can't go to Windrock due to personal conflict. Now can't do this ride which I was stoked for. I'm officially out.

If the forecast stays the same, this trip is going to be a no go for me.Yeah, after the mud-fest that was AOP last month, I will probably pass unless the weather changes a LOT from the current forecast. Bummed.

If you are going to hard mount it, the uniden 520xl is great. If you are into portability, the Midland 75-822 combined with a magnetic antenna is an awesome combination.

Had a great time yesterday. I got a few pics on Rubicon that I'll post up shortly. Jeep did great. Conquered everything I tried without a winch. Actually, I don't think anyone I was with winched at all. I didn't attempt Hell's Revenge. Felt like I was cheating on the 4Runner, but my new girlfriend is pretty sweet.Honestly answer this! After your first trip in the Jeep now. What do you prefer and which do you think is more capable on the trail?

Honestly answer this! After your first trip in the Jeep now. What do you prefer and which do you think is more capable on the trail?Oh, sure...which of my kids is my favorite?? Honestly, though, I still took it easy today, so I don't feel like I really tried anything too difficult. Although there were probably some spots the Runner would've had issues with. I am going to need some more seat time to give a full report. The longer wheelbase on the Runner does help in some places, too, as you know. But, like I said, the feeling of being on the verge of flopping, which happens a lot in the Runner with off camber stuff, which there is a LOT of at Chocco, was not there in the TJ. I was pleasantly surprised with the automatic locker (Spartan) up front, too. I thought I wouldn't like it as much as the ARB, which it does have in the rear, but it "just worked"...no having to worry about locking the front or not. Yes, the clicking when turning on the street is kinda annoying, but I won't drive it on the street much anyway, except to the park. So, give me a few more runs for a more full report, but it was definitely different.

IIRC, those were 39's...too tall in a red for my current front axle. I'd like some 37 Reds. I could take them in a 15" rim or the 17" rim since I still have my old beadlocks and the new beadlocks.
