New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

Do we have a date set up? Maybe I can ride along if my truck isn't up for it, (no sliders, etc).

 

@tacobell007

 

7/14… we have to get you sliders! Should be plenty of room to ride along.

 

I would buy some weld on's that I saw recently for a regular cab. But I just got my car taxes.

 

Not to be political but taxes can suck a hairy nut or a Harry nut or a hairy Harry nut

 

Very interested, can only swing 1 overnight which makes it tough (4 hour drive each way), wheeling definitely happening Sunday 7/14?

 

Yes, it usually rains and is as good time. Jared’s going so plan on rain.

 

Welp this was a pita. No getting the bolt out but on the bright side I now have a full kit of helicoil stuff. M5-M12.

Mounts on I just have to reconnect the downpipe. I think I am going to take it to work tomorrow.

Then itll be parked for a bit while I do all the rust repair work in the floorpans.

 

Haha ok, would love to make it but this might be a no-go for me just based on distance, will let y'all know

 

I don't know if I can do an overnight, but maybe.
What about Chateguay/VT Saturday?
Ross were you thinking an overnight boondocking, or all fancy dancy in a hotel?
It's about an hour-hour fifteen from our campsite in VT to 3 bears/VW hill area
@Brownmatthall @TacoTuesday603 know the VT stuff too. Did Jack say he's out though? Can't remember.

Just thinking you can do two birds in one stone

 

Just somewhere to crash so it's not 8 hours of driving in one day. Couch, back of the truck, cheapcheapcheap hotel, wherever would be fine.

How long are you usually on the trails at Chateguay?

 

I cant make anything saturday but I'll be there Sunday as a ride along. I was almost tempted to whip together steel skids over this weekend but that aint gunna happen

 

Chateguay is about an hour ride from camp to back, we have other trails that fill the whole day though.
If you wanted to go out Saturday from home, hit Chateguay around noon, back to camp for 2-3 ish with a stop and taking it relaxed like.
Then go down to NH in the AM.
Would be a good weekend.

I just don't want to send you there alone not sure I can swing that, TBD on Matt.

Edit - air down, get there, do Chateguay....yeah probably 2 hours actually. Maybe 3. I'm trying to remember I think we got on the trails around 9 and hit the end of Chateguay/lunch spot for 12. I guess I didn't track the route this year.

depends on the plan - 3 bears or VW hill @AllTacosFloat ? Or both?

 

Don't think I could swing Saturday but a stock-ish gx did fine on chateguay so send'r lol. I'd like to hit both, it's definitely doable

 

I have a steel ifs skid you can use and a transfer case skid but no mid if you want to use them.

 

Planning on both but we’ll keep an eye on weather. Both could be a long day depending on conditions.

 

Think VW is a stupid idea with my setup? I havent been so I'll defer to you guys

 

Let me do some thinking
