whose going to the paragon benefit ride???

[CjRobPos85]

i will be there with my stock CJ7 that i swore would never take offroad but hey its for a good cause and they even have some awesome prizes for the raffle theyre doing....

[GodBearYJ]

I was thinking about going. It would be my first time. graemlins/49.gif but I don't know if I am fully equipted, I am fully stock, with only front tow-hooks, and I haven't gotten my CB to work.

Is there anything else I should bring?

Is there anything else I should bring? hey youll be fine with that stuff a cb would be nice but not 100% necessary i may put one in my stock cj7... some stuff to bring would be a tow strap just incase... and make sure theres NO METAL TOW HOOKS on the strap or else they wont let you in with it... and pack a lunch to eat on the trail and some snacks.. other than bring yourself and your jeep.... i usually run the harder trails with my other jeep but will be running the same trails as you this weekend so maybe well run into each other....

OK good to know, I thought a CB was necessary. I did know about the tow strap with no metal ends, I read the posts about the dangers of them, pretty scary.

I would have thought that more people from this board would be going to something like this?

[CjRobPos85]

I-78 west

to anyone else who came out thatnks i heard the final total of vehicle was about 470 bigges turn out ever!!!!!! I had a blast. graemlins/49.gif It's a shame I won't be able to go back again. I don't understand how anyone could imagine land like that being turned into an airport, just doesn't make any sense to me.
I got home fine. Just took 3 hours instead of 2, because I was only going about 45mph all the way home.
Oh yeah, I will try to get my picture up here as soon as I get them developed. hopefully they came out nice.

And here's some video...of the WBRE newscast, as well as Kyle's speech.
