Badlands, May 14th, More The Marrier

4rnr · 04-22-2005, 11:18 PM

Me and my runner
"924runnersr5" and his runner
My 2 buddy's and there locked up FJ80's
and thats all for now.
We are going to go to the badlands on May 14th (Saturday), The more the marrier. Let me know if you are in.
Despite wheeling for a pretty long time I have never been there neither have 2 other guys. So we are excited to see what all the buzz is about. We usually go to the Cliffs in Marseilles.

Crap, I wish I could go! But that's the day I'm moving back to Purdue (which is like 20 min. away) so I won't have time to wheel. Grrr.....

This is what happened last time we planned one of these everyone said it was going to be craowded and no one went, except for one person and he said that it was empty (even with 2 jambo's).
Dont worry though,I hear ya, we will get there early.
Joez, glad to see you are in. I was waiting for ya to chime in.

joez · 04-24-2005, 01:58 PM

For those of you who haven't seen pics from our last trip, here is the link http://yotatech.com/showthread.php?t=56720

It will be a blast and hopefully we can get a few other locals to show up.

AznSky · 04-25-2005, 09:34 AM

I have some pictures on my site all from green trails at the badlands.

joez · 04-25-2005, 11:25 AM

In my webshots there are some of the quarry, green trail, creek, and i think there is some from pink and orange in there too. My buddy's site is down, but he has a lot of pic's as well, as soon as it gets back up ill link to it.

4rnr, its an '85 that will need a fair ammont of work just to get it running. Watch for a buildup thread soon.

Awesome, where are you located?

joez · 04-26-2005, 07:11 PM

The toy is here, but its gonna need a LOT of work, i think for one the timing chain is busted. Ill try to get it wheelable by the run, but i doubt it will happen.

jaymo · 04-27-2005, 03:15 AM

Hey 4rnr, Im near algonquin and randell road in lake in the hills. But that will change soon enough. Buying a house in mongomery. I cant wait to go , I put new leafs and shackels on and want to see if it helped the axle rap. I also hope to have a front bumper soon so I can put my winch on.
Oh well I am rambling...Jay......

One More Time · 04-27-2005, 05:29 AM

joez and jaymo do you guys have anyone else coming with?

joez · 04-27-2005, 08:11 AM

Nope, i dont.

INsr5runner · 04-27-2005, 08:35 AM

hmmmm

jaymo · 04-27-2005, 03:25 PM

Nope I am sneeking away to do this trip. Wife would throw a hissy if she knew. We are buying a house and she wants to save every penny untill then.
But we allready have the down, closing and a little extra.

Oh well I have to get out, she just dosent understand.

So what trail are we going to do? Orange is allways a favorite as is the whole quarry erea. The reason I ask is the last two times I did orange there was some body damage to some in the group. I dont know any of you personaly so I dont know what every one is up to.
Either way I am sure we will all have a blast....Jay....

Well I dont know what trails we will be doing i guess it depends on the trucks. Why dont you guys post up what you've got so we can get an idea of what we may be in for.

jaymo · 04-27-2005, 03:58 PM

You know 4rnr, You are going to laugh but I will have to bring some pics of my wifes liberty at the cliffs. It did real well but after the second tree we slid into my wife had enough. I love the cliffs but my toy is a xtracab pickup and the cliffs is to tight.
but I do have a lift and 33's, a locker in the back and quick discos.
I am pretty ok going just about anywhere at the badlands.
I also have an 86 cherokee that has done every trail there except out of the tunnel and into the pond. Something about nosediving a carbed heep scares me.
what trails at the cliffs have you done? I would like to know if your bumpers and protection helped out. That place has more places to trash a vehicle!!!
Oh well ...Jay...
