Camping = $6 per person per night
Trail use = $10 per vehicle for the entire weekend

Myself and a couple of other guys are heading down Thursday...FYI. I may camp at Byrds or maybe down the road at Redding campgrounds. More than likely we'll be at Byrds.
I just wanted to mention to everyone that I, in no way shape or form, want to lead all the trail rides. I honestly have only been on a couple trails through the Nat'l Forest. Most of what I've done is across from Byrds. So if any one wants to lead a trail for the day or even just for a couple of hours I fully invite you to. I really just started this thing up to spend a little time in the Jeep with my son. So the more time we spend shiny side up the better

Guys, if anyone has a chain saw or other tools needed for tree removal please bring them. I've been told by members of Rockcrawlers4x4 that there are some trees blocking quite a few of the trails. We may need to cut those out in order to pass.
Thanks,
Brad

We can all meet up at 09:00 at the main pavilion around the bathrooms I guess or maybe out in the field. The rockcrawlers group will be lining up in the field by the entrance. I believe they will have quite a few running that day also.
I won't be arriving until Friday afternoon. I hurt my back Monday at a working structure fire in Bentonville. I have a follow-up doctor's visit Friday morning in Lowell. I plan on heading out right after that.
Here's a pic of my Jeep if you want to find me:

Well I have my rear 3rd that I'll be installing tomorrow and I ordered a front 3rd that should be here Friday. If I have time I'll weld up the sliders and diff armor but I need brakes first. If I can get 3rds installed and brakes that work by Friday afternoon I'll try and come down and have some fun. Oh and I moved my axle forward 2" or so and decided I'm not lifting it other than a little shackle action.

Well guys I put my gears and locker in the rear axle tonight. My 4.88 front 3rd was scheduled to be here Friday but I just got a call (while I was installing my rear 3rd member) from the company I ordered my front 3rd from and they said they were sorry but my order got screwed up and won't be here until tuesday.
Anyone know if I could wheel with 4.88's in the rear and 4.10's (or whatever is stock gearing) in the front?

What Cory said. Even off road at 10% mismatch is noticeable, I think 19% would be too much. I had to run a 11% mismatch is some deep snow last winter for short distances, and it worked OK, but I wouldn't try it on dirt/rocks.
