    Anyone want to go to Bridgeport this Saturday?

    I'm meeting a buddy there at 9:30, bringing a lunch and heading back that afternoon.

    It was pretty fun last time with @thedrewsifer and @Zac of all trades

    Originally not Expo AF! Kinda Expo AF now...lame.
    I'm on call this week, but don't give up on me yet. I'll be camping the following week at the Texas RenFest, but November could be promising.

    Thanks for the invite, I'm looking forward to eventually getting to meet up.

    Cool, I'm meeting a buddy in Bridgeport at 930, he'll just be riding along with me and spotting. Maybe I won't scare the crap out of him like I did to @thedrewsifer

    I'd love to jump on this train. I just got my first 4x4 and want to test her out. Not looking into doing any serious rock climbing or water submersion with my new truck but it looks like this park has different levels of trails. My truck is stock so I'm not sure what all she can handle. I'd be down for a Sunday trip one weekend if y'all go.

    I've taken my wife's 4Runner Trail and my 2017 Off Road to parks bone stock in both cases. It will do more than you want it to do believe it or not. Your biggest concern will be armor and damage, not capability out of the stock truck.

    Most guys lift and put some meats on it cause it looks sweet and adds functionality, but I prefer to see how it does, upgrade it, then test that performance compared to the stock truck in order to really assess what this thing does.

    Out of the box, even with those Goodyear tires, prepare to be shocked.

    You would be surprised at what a stock truck can handle on the trail.
    Agreed. I started wheelin mine when it was pretty new and still stock and it got me all over the place pretty well. First thing I did aftermarket was a skid due to damage. Just beware of trail stripes.

    Anybody else in for tomorrow? I'll be there around 9:30.. If not, I'll just have to drive around pulling jeeps out by myself
    Either way should be a good day.

    We did't stop to take very may pics at it was just me and my spotter. As you can see, the trails were pretty washed out and rutted.... which naturally means fun!
