Snow and Pizza Run Sat. Jan. 25th, 2020 Yankee Hill

[On the RX]

I think they will be good enough as long as they have some tread on them.

 

[damon]

I'd love to join you guys. I'm new to the club and fairly new to 4-wheeling. I have BFG K02 tires. I hope that is good enough? I've got all the other equipment (I think), so I should be good to go. Let me know.

You should be fine. The only thing I would recommend is getting a hitch receiver shackle just in case you get stuck and need to get pulled out from behind. If you want you can drive in front of me and if you get stuck I'll pull you out with my winch.

I would love to join this run. Not a member yet (hard to make it to meetings being up in Silverthorne) but I have been a forum lurker for many years and would love to join in 2020.

I dont have any good wheeling buddies up here and need to find out the limits of an unlocked 80!

You're more than welcome! You don't have to be a member to wheel with us, but you have to wheel with us to be a member.

Sounds good! Just be ready with a tow strap because I will be working to get stuck! It's easier to test the limits with friends instead of a shovel.

I'm not a member yet either, but i'm gonna crash the party anyway.

I just ordered one last night. Should be here by the end of the week. My K02's are nearly new, so have lots of tread. I have self recovery gear, but having a winch handy would be awesome! Thanks, Damon!

Also, if you have a CB that would make things easier if something goes sideways (figuratively and literally).

I have a couple low end CB walkie talkies (FMRS) I'll bring, but I haven't used them in a couple of years.

Crap, I'll need to get a couple shackles as well. Don't want to stir up a big debate, but the factory points look super beefy to me and I think they'll be fine.

The factory recovery points can rip off and they usually pull out the headgasket with them.

🤣🤣👍
This, this right here. This is why people are having head gasket issues. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@KC Matsterpiece, It would be better to post your for sale items in the For Sale/ Wanted section on the forum.

 

[IoN6]

Looks like we will need to start heading back about 1500 or so for some prior plans, but the wife, pups and I will still be there!

 

[Cruiserman]

I will be there with a co-pilot. Looking forward to this!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Looks like I'll be able to be there this year.

 

[4runner]

If I'm not working that day I may meet up with you all.

what are you looking to get?

I meant a CB, not a FRS/GMRS radio. Between all the people coming shackles shouldn't be too hard to find. That said, factory recovery points are sketchy. Just come along and we can figure a way to get you out if you get stuck (most likely you won't).
