what kind of trails are you gonna be running? if im not hunting ill think about it. id rather do easy trails at first, no big boulders and braking stuff for me at this time.

I'll probably be doing easy intermediate stuff. I'm not into breaking stuff either. There should be quite a crowd going, so you can jump into an easier trail section if you want.
Tim and I ran stuff together that wasn't bad at all and it was alot of fun. I'll probably run those types of trails again. There were two XJ's in that group too that were lifted but not locked and they didn't do bad at all.
bryan Macdonald ran with me that Saturday, and those trails were MUCH tougher. He's got a 4" lift I think, but 30 tires (for now) and only a front locker. And he did VERY well...better than me, that's for sure.
There's plenty to do for everybody.

im in just did trails sleepy hollow isnt bad rocky with water crossings. i did it with stock front and a posi 8.8 with 36" tires we also did impossible hill trail headless horseman which has many boulders but u can easily go around outta sleepy hollow and wait while others do it. i recomend a locker of sum sort for it makes it easier but done b4 without one. and tutle hill isnt bad but open for me to try other trails. but count me in i got a long day tomorrow gotta run to ok4wd and pick up axles and my arb locker. and ups was sapposed to drop off my kilby stuff but decided to do it tomorrow beenin's theres no door tag. but im gonna install ring and pinions tomorrow with the lockers and overhalls and the fronts gonna get new warn inners for sum strength and ujoints. and i plan on doin my york first thing finish cleaning it up and changing the oil. i should have a long day of runnin around might even lead into wednesday or thursday depends on how lazy i feel

That or be a shotty for someone smile.gif
Sounds good... got it marked.

We'll probably do the easy to intermediate trails.
I, like most, have to drive my jeep everyday. So we are looking to have fun and hit as many trails as we can.
Maybe we can start a roster, then figure out the details on trails, times to meet, etc then.
Maybe their will be some snow up there too, make it interesting.
Oh and you Pines lovers, the amount of mud you like, picture all that being rocks. Mud is the Devil (Jersey)! :D

I do want to get up there one of these days if I ever get a trailer. Come to think of it all I have are cars, so I will need a tow vehicle as well. With 164,000+ miles on the YJ she needs to take it nice and easy here in the Pines. Kind of like dating a 90 year old woman...you have to be easy on her! :D

yeah what he said and take it slow. paragon has trails that are rated best on the east coast. so what i did was i see where they put me and i dropped a level for testing pourposes. but over all if youve wheeled they know that and either think or know u can do what class they put u in. either way its fun to atleast go off pavement. i wish my dialy driver jeep could be offroad for a living! smile.gif
Great.. thanks for the info =o)

Hey Ray, I think that there might be a change of Plans with ****. I hear that him and Mike were talking about going to the pines because apparently, he is having a lot of guests up that day and there will not be enough time for them in the weekend to go to Paragon, let alone room. email him about it. Plus they had plans to do somehting that ight and figured that there would not be enough time to do what he had to get done.
