Discuss here instead of the 491 thread....

Typically we do Haspin on New Years Day. Discussions around going to Big Rock instead.

I'm going to Big Rock, unless Macy's is having a kickin sale that day.

Im new to all this...just joinded core in november, I plan on going to the run, do we just show up? can anyone give me some details?

the name stuck many years ago because its on new years day and alot of the peopled partied a bit welcoming the new year and then got up early(if they went to bed at all)and went wheeling. in the past we went to haspin and this year a group of us (not limited but some may still chose haspin)will be going to big rock to see what snow wheeling will be like there. so i answer to your question anyone can go and we will post up some estimated times of arival so stay tuned

Sometimes a group meets in Fairfield to drive down...often we just meet in the parking lot at Big Rock though. Depends on where you're comin from..We run on CB channel 12 typically.

Thanks for the reply. i know my limits so I guess I should be good. Ive only been there on my quad not a jeep/4wd. Is there enough trails to make it worth while then?

12-22-2010, 08:17 PM
definitly enough trails to be fun and more everytime we go. im really starting to like the place, now if i could just find my way around better. if snow is on the ground(and i say it will be)that will change everything and i dont know in what direction but im sure it will still be good fun.

I asked Big Rock about the spare tire thing before, they said that as long as you can get your vehicle off the trails and off the property by the time they close it's fine...

I've got 40s... and will have a set of (4) 32" spares if really needed:evilgrin:

Well just got back home from the run and had a great time. Rode down with Andy who did great for his first time offroading and rode the trails with Truggy. Thanks Scott for the ride, had a great time. The rain made it pretty messy and quite a few "sticky" spots on the trails. Damage and beauty marks appeared on a few rigs but I'll let others give a damage report. I'm ready for the next run!

Yeah, I'd guess the water was about 36-38" deep? The one pic of Connor's Jeep is incredibly misleading... it was taken -right- before he went up the waterfall... a bunch of people on JF were like :eek: "How did it stay running" :evilgrin:

Dam, I wish I could have gone. My runner is sitting on my rack at work. Nice pics :beers:

It was a great time, thanks!

Deep water....lol Wish I could have made it :mad:

Yeah, I've never been in water that deep before, it was nice because my wheels actually came out cleaner AFTER we were done wheeling:p I just took it easy going back to the parkinglot and kept all the mud on the tires, not in the beadlock which is a PITA to get all out.

^^^ thanks for the pics tony, oddly enough im usually taking pics of others and I get none of my own.

Yeah dude, no problem! You've got the most badass newer Tacos that I've seen in person... and the only one that I know who's wheeled it:thumbup:

weather was wet but warm. the hospitality was great and no speeding tickets on the AA highway! tweaked the front bumper and winch cable on the jeep during a slick downhill trail that I thought would be conquerable.

Yeah the weather was great, later in the day it got pretty chilly, and it would sprinkle rain on and off but it made for a really interesting time:beers:



Anyone else get pics? I got a bunch of others but none of myself... normally I force the wife to get out and take pics but she's had surgery on the one knee and it doesn't like jumping in and out more than it has to.

Connor's friend Scott is a photographer and he got a lot of really awesome pictures... unfortunately we have to wait until he posts them up... which may be a few days.

Thanks guys, the camera is just a little flip hd that i never really found a good use for. So i found one of those magnetic wide angle lenses, hard wired it to a 5volt switched supply, and jammed it in between my headrest and seat.

Wheels and tires (goodyear kevlars) did pretty good although they didn't do as good i had hoped in the slop on that off camber hill coming out. Didn't seem like anyone else had quite the same problem I did.
Oh well, maybe they will get those boggers out in time for next tire purchase.

I drove 2.5 hours there, wheeled, then 2.5 hours back... all with no problems.


This morning I go to start the Jeep and *CLICK*:rolleyes:

On my lunch break I came home and it started up, the starter takes a couple seconds to disengage... time to remove it and disassemble for a good cleaning:evilgrin:

I suspect there was water in there that froze up over night... and mud and doo-doo butter that is in there making it want to not disengage.

I would love to, but I do need a new starter... upon disassembly one of the two long skinny bolts holding the starter's armature and everything to the main case(where it bolts to the bolt) broke... I've only got one bolt holding the starter together. It does start now... but I'm waiting until my next paycheck until I can actually afford one... it makes a funny WHIIIIZZZZ after startup for a second since I'm sure the armature is cocked sideways slightly, making the brushes drag unevenly:rolleyes:


I've talked to the wife, I think I'm going to try and make one run to Haspin some time in the next couple months(just not this next weekend) with my buddy Andrew.

I texted Connor today, he said that Scott didn't have one of his camera cables with him, so it will be a day or so until he gets home in Chicago and can upload them.

I'll be sure to post here when I get word on the pics... I know he got a really awesome one, I think it was going down one of the waterfalls. Can't wait to see them:evilgrin:
