In March, specifically the 20th-28th, there will be a ride week that I and my fellow club members will be hosting for anyone who wants to come down and experience our trails. Last ride week in (June 14-22 2003) was a great success. Croberts, Glenshadow, RolledDodge, and Big Green Monster attended, and had a blast! Hopefully the same crew will attend this time, plus some others! Guaranteed, you will have a GREAT time! The weather should be nice, not blazing hot like last ride with the possibility of rain as usual (makes the trails more interesting ).
Mods required are simply attachment points forward and in the rear (suggestion: front two hooks and WARN shackle hitch for the rear hitch receivers), spare GOOD tire, and a tow strap with no hooks. Stock rigs are definitely welcome!!!
We have from level 1 trails to level 5+ trails here, with bypasses for the people that don't want to damage too much sheet metal. But that doesn't guarantee that you won't get called out!!
As far as logistics, there isn't any part of the suspension that I don't know as far as repairs, and I have a master welder and master mechanic for the more "complicated" repairs. I have the hookup with the parts houses here, for discount parts prices and I will also have odd parts stocked just for the week for "just in case" situations (like steering box sector shaft breaks ).
Last ride week we actually filled the entire week with different places to wheel each day, starting at 9am going until at least 5pm. There was an incorporated night ride as well, which is always fun! Night rides are a different thing for sure! The only day we didn't wheel was Friday, because something went wrong with my t-case before we got to the trail, and that ended the week for me (guess 5 days of straigt hard wheelin' finally took its toll! ). So that means we have Spanish Fort to still ride for the guys that were here last and didn't see it. PLUS, we have just starting making a brand new place to ride, and are in the process of making it full-size friendly! Lots of wood to cut down, as it is overgrown badly! But it is really cool! It is almost better than Miller's Park (for the guys that were here last time, you know what I am talking about!). The first day (Saturday the 20th) will kick off the ride week with a truck show hosted by Steve's Offroad at a Sonic Drive in specifically for 4x4 trucks and jeeps, followed by a night ride at Miller's park afterwards.
