so let us know how it went

[carwash]

I'm looking for anywhere else to go that's close... i hate hasping. But i need something local, and something accessible in case i get in a really bad way.

I'm a big fan of 491, but I guess you trailer.

Did you find out what the finished weight on the rig is? I beleive I remember a thread from way back about guessing the weight.

[carwash]

There's really nothing at 491 that will allow me to test this rig the way i want to. It is only about 15 minutes from my house tho. I have a place i wheel for free right by 491 too, but still nothing really there to do. creeks and flat trails.

no finished weight yet, haven't borrowed a set of scales yet.

[HumminNBoatin]

What is 491????

[KargoMaster]

There's really nothing at 491 that will allow me to test this rig the way i want to...

You know there's very little at Haspin to test it either... I was there last weekend with Mckeddie, was pretty dry, Backbone (although far more worn than I remember) was cake. A rear steer Yota went up it backwards (skillfully)... there was a 2.5 rockwell rig that sat higher than I have ever seen a rig sit... had the same shocks as both of us... rolled it later that day :rolleyes:

[HumminNBoatin]

what and where is 491??????

[AFTERSHOCK151]

Carwash I just sent you something that may be and idea to test it out.

Thanks for the tip brad, guess im just looking for somewhere that i can cruise around for a few hours as well, check temps of things, etc... Not necessarily looking for mountains to clim over, just need to flex it out some, do some climbs, tax the driveline a bit, before heading somewhere 4 hours away.

HummerDude, 491 is a small park in the Crittenden/demossville area. It's really a mx/quad park that they open up to trucks on the weekends. Not much there extreme or even moderate, but if you love mud, etc, it's great I hear. I have ridden mx bikes there, and can't imagine it being fun in a jeep/truck.

[carwash]

Jim, the more i think about it, the more fun this sounds like... count me in for sure.

[NKYJEEPSTER]

491 is a park in NKY toward crittenden. It has decent trails but they are kinda narrow. All trails made with a dozer that has a blade that might be 7.5 ft. wide.

[tjjeepjeep]

Sure wish I could go...it'd be worth it to see...Someone take some pics

[carwash]

Dont think im going now. Have some new pane parts to try out. Might cut in some trails at my house. Not confident heading out til I have a winch or a rig as big as mine to assist.

[94Dodge Truggy]

I can go sunday night or any night this coming week or next weekend if interested.

[carwash]

Thanks scott, will hold off this week... and next weekend i will be down at gravelrama... will hit it soon tho, need to find some big rocks somewheres.

[kb9qdi]

Still going and will be there 10ish or so.
Anyone wanting to ride along/join in we'll be on channel 16 :beers:

Somebody told me 491 closed due to insurance issues about a month ago. Is this true>?

[kyrel69]

there are a few of us talking about going Labor day weekend. v8 and 1 tons even a few winches between us. So if you wanted to come out we should be able to get you out if you were to get stuck :)

[Coppertop]

Somebody told me 491 closed due to insurance issues about a month ago. Is this true>?

Nope, not true just talked to the owner (Ted). He is opened and has no issues with insurance.

Nick

[WrenchMonkey]

That's a relief... 491 may not be up to 'wash's high standards, but I like it a lot...

Hillz n Hollarz did get shut down this spring (more zoning than insurance), maybe that story got turned around...

Robert

[jfiscus]

[carwash]
