Alright we're pretty close to a year out at this point and its a good time to start planing for this ultimate EXPEDITION of extreme OVERLANDING 4 wheel drive required bad <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> action. All join in on this will never forget the things they see, and learn this is a trip that tests man and machine the days can be long but the views will be mind blowing campsites will be next to lakes, streams, and vast canyon over looks.
Minimum Requirements to join in on this are : 33" tire for short wheel base 35" tire for Long Wheel base Rocksliders 1 locking differential Fuel tank either raise up into the frame rails on LWB and 4cyl swbs or armored SWB V6's should have it armored as they can't raise into the frame rails out of harms way I'm making this a requirement as it just sucks crushing tank and they are getting pretty hard to replace these days. If you come with out armor or a raise be prepared to loose some fuel space.
Not required but having a lower geared transfer case the altitude is gonna have the engines down on power and the trails are hard over heating will be constant without them and will use alot of time waiting to cool down to keep from risking mechanical damage.
Current Main trails we will be hiting are
Rubicon trail Fordyce creek trail
More trails are to be added we'll keep this thread up todate as we add trails and make adjustments to requirements. This first thread is just to get our brains started up.
<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> i'm calendaring this season, and don't want to miss a most excellent adventure.

Still got to get an engine in, but barring another disaster I am in. I believe Esther has applied for days off in early August at work...

Looks like July 27th-August 9th Esther has off. We may join my Dad in Hot Springs. Probably would make more sense to go Sierras second in case we have breakage.

Ok, need to pin this down. July 17-24 is our other commitment. So how about the first through the 8th or 9th or something?
