[muddinredneck513]

i went and looked at it after he tore it apart and i cant believe the way them a-arms were the frame isnt even hurt on it! i dont think i can make it on the 29th since its my girlfriends nephews birthdays!(2 of them)

[RuffedUpXJ]

Wish I could go its only about 2 hours from up here in Lima land. Damn does your GF's sister have like an anniversary or does the old man get some for christmas or the new year?

[shawnb]

sarge is it still legal to ride there as long as you have plates and insurance?

[bc35339]

sarge is it still legal to ride there as long as you have plates and insurance?

x 2 But I dont think so but would love to go back if u are talking about the same (stair steps,lake,pinkrock,playground,49er) that iam thinking of.

[sarge]

yep it's legal with tags , valid lic. and proof of ins. , all of these must be on you when your wheling or YOU WILL GET A TICKET. Now, I have been told that up front ( pink rock , big wally area ) you run the risk of being ticketed if you get off the main trail, but further back in you don't have to worry about it.

yes I'm talking 909, Cromers Ridge , London ..... whatever you want to call it.

[Aquaman]

The did just bulldoze a trail all the way to a family cemetery at the back of Livingston. From what I hear they can get police cruisers way back in there now. Mike Shelton probably knows more about it.

[muddinredneck513]

yep it's legal with tags , valid lic. and proof of ins. , all of these must be on you when your wheling or YOU WILL GET A TICKET. .

ok i ride a quad and a rhino! i have valid lic. and proof of ins but what about tags???:confused:

[94Dodge Truggy]

Livingston is for licensed and insured vehicles only. Trails are dirt roads. Be prepared to be stopped by local authority. Badlands!

[Aquaman]

I agree, for quads or Rhinos go to the Badlands. Or Harlan.

[muddinredneck513]

sarge---- where does shawn and the boys ride when they go down there? just stay around kevins i guess?

[sarge]

There is a great deal of trails on and near Kevins , however, I think we are going to leave Kevins Sat. morning and head to an area called Sandlick and take the trails into Livingston. Kevin said it takes about an hour and a half by trail or 10-15 min. by road to get to the Livingston area.
I haven't been down there yet so I'm just going by what Kevin has told me.

[carwash]

hoping to hit that area with you guys sometime sarge.

[sarge]

bring the rail we'll meet you on 75 somewhere .....

[carwash]

The rail is for sale... no more runs in it.

[tjjeepjeep]

Ya'll need your own thread....

Badlands: Looks like both campgrounds are closed until April. The Attica Inn is gonna cost $72 a night. We still interested in doing this? And exactly who is 'we' at this point?

Gumby/Shirley -- Call me with your thoughts..

[94Dodge Truggy]

Lets camp at a rest area or in the barn or something! My thread has been jacked!

[tjjeepjeep]

My thread has been jacked!

I'd guess it's payback...

[sarge]

OH NO ! we Jacked a thread that Scott started ..... shame on us ! :D

[95blackyj]

Wish I could go with you guys I heard that the place is under new management and they slightly raised the prices.

[crazi429]

Camp ground is already open I will be camping I will be camping there saturday evening with a bunch of bronco nuts.

[Rubi06]

Got out of work on the 29th so I can go now. What time do you plan on leaving Truggy? I wouldn't mind having someone to follow out.

[scarface]

I think I might ride up with you John, Jacob is trying to go too.

[94Dodge Truggy]

I am not sure yet but the sooner the better! I will post up on here with a time soon.

[Hybrid]

Has there been a decision on where everybody is camping? or not camping?

[94Dodge Truggy]

I believe we are camping in the park.

[carwash]

they allow that now? sweet!

[Rubi06]

I am not sure yet but the sooner the better! I will post up on here with a time soon.

Sounds good. I'm about 5 minutes from your neighborhood so i can meet wherever works best for you too. Jacob i think you need to get the jeep out and go with us. I'll get your shock mount welded on for you next week if you want or I can atleast bring the welder over.

I am in the process of having a night run scheduled for the badlands ride saturday on the orange trail. The management will agree to it but vehicles must have a functioning muffler system!
Post up if you are going if you want to meet up or want camping spots reserved. Hope to see you there!

[tjjeepjeep]

I've heard that Lilbluexj (John), Hybrid (Jacob) and his dad, and Scarface (Jon) are going.

Right now I think we have a group pulling out after work on Friday. Not sure anything more exact right now, but I'll try to keep everyone up to date. I'm calling Monday to warn them we're gonna be there Friday night. I'll get primitive sites for everyone unless you tell me otherwise. (Pater, I'm assuming you've not called them. :rolleyes: )


Um, anyone else notice that the rest of us need to change our name to either Scott, Dan or John (various spellings allowed).

[Rubi06]

Jacob, his dad, Jon, and I will have to wait till sometime early Sat. morning to leave. Jon and I won't be able to leave till at least sometime after 10p on Fri. so we'll just wait till early Sat. morning. We're going to try to leave early enough to make it before everyone heads out on the trail.

[Hybrid]

My dad and I are planning on coming as of now. We will be heading up with Lilbluexj and Scarface early saturday morning.

Night runs scare me! :( Jamie and Scott Armstrong wheel horribly when it is dark out! ;)

[tjjeepjeep]

Jamie and Scott Armstrong wheel horribly when it is dark out! ;)

Hmm last night run with those two I recall as Jamie's rig being somewhat quiet after say midnight (something about no propane). :rolleyes: I still had a great time on that run. Course, I wasn't being towed around Slade for hours either (lead vehicle).

[maddhatter]

I hope yall have a great ride and come back safe and sound. Well as sound as you were before you left! :D

finally ONE pic of scotts sami made it on the site!!! looks like yall had a good time! ill be there next time!!

[crazi429]

I saw your group but was never going in the right direction to hook up with you all. I posted my pictures from Saturday here http://mv4w.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=My_eGallery&file=index&do=showgall&gid=63&offset=0&orderby=titleA

[tjjeepjeep]

Here we go...We had a good crowd (though some were rowdy): Eric & Brandy in his truggy. Scott Pater w/Matt shotgun in his Sami. Scott & Kim McMahon in a Sami. Scott Armstrong w/Jamie shotgun in his Sami. Dan N. in his Sami. John (lilbluexj) w/Jon (scarface) shotgun in his XJ. Scott & I in my TJ. (Waaayy too many Scott’s.) Saturday we did a portion of the green trail first. Went to the quarry for a bit, did a bunch of stuff there. Then watched Dan try to figure out why his right front tire wouldn’t spin. After that we moved to the orange trail. Lots of great stuff there. Jim rolled in with his rig and Brody rolled in with his sometime around 3pm Saturday afternoon due to some tire issues. Scott Armstrong contributed to afternoon entertainment with an incident on mini dirt bike at camp (see pic).

Looks like we get our first stuck sticker. Got stuck at the end of the green trail on some extremely uncooperative rocks. Thankfully I had a friendly Sami (Armstrong) pull me out (of which I have no doubt I will never hear the end of).

Park closes at 5p. Went to dinner, then went back to camp. Turns out we brought along a redneck for entertainment that kept us all entertained for quite a while. At some point, everyone decided it was way too cold to camp, and decided on motels for the night.

Sunday dawned (though I didn’t see it through the curtains of the motel). Jamie, John, Jon didn’t stick around for the fun. Scott McMahon & Kim rode shotgun with Dan & Armstrong, respectively, due to vehicle. Shortly after we left camp we found a mud bog on the orange trail that grabbed hold of every vehicle but Jim’s (swear that rig looked like it was just doing the back stroke around in the mud) and Pater’s. I think that the majority getting stuck nullifies any stuck sticker awards. Mere words cannot do justice to describe this chain of events of who got stuck, when they were stuck and why the got stuck in the first place (or second in some cases). Come to the meeting, it’ll be worth the trip to hear this. Then more trails, rocks, creeks, sand dunes. All in all, a great time and I’m looking forward to going back. The quarry in itself is worth the trip for me. Rocks are, for me, the only way to play.

End of the run:
McMahon - possible front locker and the rear drive shaft flange
Dan - possible front locker and light on trailer (that’s another story)
Pater - with all his welding skills he created a Lincoln limited slip
Eric – front brake rotor on the Rockwell
John - passenger door

[scarface]

Here's a link to my photo bucket album of pictures http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/aa28/filmsomething/Badlands/

[Rubi06]

I pretty much lost a mirror on the passenger side that came in to close of contact with a tree and ripped a door hinge off somehow on the passenger door. (not that it wasn't already having problems or anything :rolleyes: )

More pictures added to the gallery. Thanks Jon and Scott for the pictures. They look great!

[Rubi06]

Somethings just not right here..:confused:

[Hybrid]

I love the new suicide door mod to the jeep John! Man I wish I could have made it!! I will get to haspin this weekend even though it is no badlands! You should come!

[maddhatter]

What is it about scotts sami (dodgetruggy) that I never see pic's of it?:confused:

[scarface]

its in several of my pictures, grey little piece of junk :D

[Rubi06]

Yeah it's a great look... Now if that's what built it to do i probably wouln't mind it so much. Which while i'm thinking about it I am looking for some help with repairing the hinge on the door back to the vehicle before next months trip comes around. I'd like removable doors but not by means of it flatout falling off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
