    Yes running the trail Saturday.

    Worst case scenario, you can borrow someone else's spare, but I think you'll be fine

    Don't worry, we'll all help each other out there ;)

    booooo

    of course!

    Correct. Although where we camp, there will be just a little bit of offroading to get there since it's slightly past the trailhead. Nothing too crazy though

    We can always patch your tires if there's a branch that pokes through. If it's a gash, someone will need to bring a tire iron and a sidewall patch kit with all the stitching gear.

    with as many trucks that are going, it can take 4-5 hours. sometimes less, sometimes more. It really depends on a lot of things. One year there was another crew from ih8mud and they took a good couple hours at just the last obstacle and we were waiting behind them

    Yeah, it was a good point to stop for lunch, enjoy the view and do some hiking around the area. It's just so nice to be out in the middle of nowhere at that point.

    Alex pitched up his awning, set up a few lawn chairs and it was great. Lawn chairs are definitely needed, fire ants get a little annoying. :p

    Just wish we had a coffee table or something, that would've been cool.

    This would be cool to have.

    In a big group - it's much faster to just borrow a spare from someone else in the group rather than hold everyone up while doing an in-depth tire repair.

    Hey man, if you like my rear bumper when I'm done with it (still need to start), maybe we can come up with something for your rig. I'm planning to make some templates as I go so I can repeat the process... :)

    Yeah man, I've been coming up with some ideas and designs - nothing novel, pretty basic stuff. I just got the welder for free, so once I figure out the welding part of it, I'll start measuring and cutting.

    Once it's done I'm sure you'll see me picwhoring on tw...

    Edit... And yes, tg bumper FTW! This is gonna be a fun trip man, looking forward to it. Us 1st gens are a rare sight, gotta stick together.
