NE area wheeling trip plans

@fatfurious2 has been before I think he should be able to get you some info.

 

Make sure to update your vlog/ insta with a review on how your tires performed in the grass parking field/ graded dirt roads. Hopefully you have a Skottle, you aren't allowed in unless you show proof of ownership. Just having a cheap wok and Coleman single burner doesn't count either.

 

You can sum it up even shorter than that.

You need to pay to maybe buy their stuff at a slight discount. Haha


I'm sure some of the rigs will be neat to look at. And there's also classes they do on recovery, trail maintenance, and wheeling techniques.

 

Same. Those are the two things Id be interested in

 

I want to, but havent ponied up the $ to camp in a field with a bunch of $500k earth roamers.

Not to say its bad, ive heard some awesome discounts and giveaways there. But kinda not my scene

 

Side note. It's time for new bumpstops. Anyone have a set theyd suggest? Looking at the durobumps. 3rd gen with 2" lift all around, no u-bolt flip.

 

I just got my durobumps in the mail yesterday
I'm doing the u-bolt flip though, I already bent one of mine on a rock...oops.

 

I've got the wheelers superbumps and really like them, especially out front

 

Anyone run hydraulic bump stops?

 

Are you saying I can just stuff a beer can in there?

 

Single use bump stop!

 

I have a poor man's skottle....

Yeah, I have a small list of items I want to look for come Saturday night/sunday morning when vendors get cheaper. I have heard some of the deals are very aggressive.

Like I said, not something I would not have spent money on myself but I will enjoy it nonetheless and make the most of it. I am most interested in what seminars they have.
Last week, my wife had asked me about going to the expo and my response was something along the lines of...."Its just a place to show off how much money people have spent on their vehicles to sit in garages with armor-all, occasionally pose on a rock, and camp in a muddy field together while drinking over-priced IPAs. My 20 year old 4runner and Coleman ground tent wouldn't be allowed through the gate." This was after she knew that a ticket had been purchased for me...

 

I like all the things that you get if you overland. I want them.

Def wanna make a cheap skottle for camp this year.

Ya, some of this stuff is cool but most just seems like overpriced nonsense that's cool and gets likes, but is otherwise just more weight to add to an already overloaded rig. Whatever happened to the K.I.S.S method

 

What made you do durobumps over superbumps? ive been looking at rear superbumps forever, already got em int he front.

 

I had a 15% off code and I like how beefy the plate for the u-bolt flip was.
I've also talked to a few people who have them and recommended them.
The people who have superbumps like and recommend them just as much.

 

@m603holden

Are you still wanting to do a long weekend in VT?
Maybe a explore a little further up north?

 

Always down. Depends on what weekend. Gets a bit busy with the wedding coming up.

 

MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME just give me a few weeks heads up.... preferably also not in the middle of the hot black fly season.. haha

 

Oh we are in it bud. My legs look like a war zone
