I was able to attend the Opener last weekend and now I'm wondering if any one is going this weekend (4/2 or 4/3).
I'd like to bring Angel with and let her see what the Cliff's are all about. We have two Jeeps however one is temporarily out of commission. Just need to know I have someone to yank me out IF needed and of course have someone to wheel with us and show us the rest of the park!

I'd like to go…. do you know the trails good enough? what size is your Jeep? lockers, size tires? lift? I can try to keep up with you if your Jeep is bigger. I was going to ask a buddy if he'd come with me… I know he can yank either of us out but if he gets stuck than we both would have to work on it.

Cool!!!
Nope but we can figure the trails out via the "map" they have. My 1st time out to the Cliff's was last weekend.
Mild mods on my 04 TJ. 3" lift with 31" Mudders, no lockers. I have a tow strap but no winch.
I did not get stuck last weekend on the green or blue trails and they were pretty muddy but I did come close. We wound up pulling out the stockers quite a few times. Tires were the main issue for them (I believe) Whats your setup?

Being one of the "stockers"… Yeah – Tires were an issue but an extra inch or two of clearance between my frame and the ground would have helped a ton – possibly more than the tires. The places I got stuck where when my tires were in the ruts but were not touching the ground
I would say I'm in for going back, but I've got to try to get my 2" BB on first. I'm thinking that Saturday/Sunday will be the best time to work on it.

Keep in mind I believe the club is attending a clean-up day at the Cliffs in April. I'm sure we will find out more at the April 9th Meeting. I recommend attending this upcoming meet if you can.
As for this coming weekend, I cannot make the Cliffs.

Count me out – the wife has already booked our weekend (she said the items have been on the calendar for a month – I'm not going to argue or it won't turn out well for me – plus she keeps the calendar and just tells me where I need to be and when).
I'm not sure now if I will even have any time to spend with the Jeep or not, looks like the BB might have to wait another week (April 9th is my last chance until the 23rd, considering the 17th is our anniversary, If I spend the whole day with the Jeep, I'll be in for a world of hurt).

I got myself a date on saturday, and since I'm tired of bein single im gonna go and try not to mess it up too much. i think ditching the girl on the first date to go wheel would be a bad idea, and yes I tried to get her to go, but she say no.
