I'm looking to set up a run on Old Chinaman's over Memorial Day weekend...or maybe even one of the weekdays surrounding the actual 3 day weekend as I'll be on vacation.

I know we just ran Old Chinaman's...the reason for me is that I am testing a prototype 3" lift on my 80 (all details to be revealed at the trailhead :) ) running 35" trxus MT's as a direct comparison to 33" trxus MT's on OME 2.5".

I need to run the same trail and same obstacles to get an accurate assessement of the differences/advantages/complications/etc.

Not sure which day yet...just wanted to guage interest in a less "formal" run than the FJ run in April.

Any interest?

I am going to bag for Memorial weekend due to probable crowds and try to set up something for the following weekend.

maybe...just maybe the weekend of the 27th/28th. I'll talk with my buddy and see what's cooking with him.

perhaps...it will depend on how broke the truck is at that point. If it's finally fixed, i would love to come out.
