Never been wheeling, or never been to Haspin?

Tread lightly until you get used to your rig off road. Don't lead. Use the lowest gear when going down a steep hill, especially muddy ones. Watch out for Haspianage... :D

You'll be fine as long as you don't follow me..:D I'm kidding ,just a little pre trail humor.There's plenty of bypasses around anything you don't feel comfortable doing. The trees are a major concern.Always check both sides before backing.I've clipped more trees at Haspin with careless backing.

So, what time is everyone meeting?

[AidaJK11]

I've done some minor wheeling a while ago but nothing serious. And never been to Haspin.

Definitely won't be doing any leading. Looks like it might be kind of muddy Sunday...with today's rain and it's supposed to rain tomorrow too.

HAHA! Trees are not friends...


Thanks for the tips guys! Sounds like fun! Maybe I'll get my first battle wound....:mad:....:o....:D

[Coppertop]

How about 9:30 am time and meet in the main parking lot by the big tree.After stopping to pay,as you enter the park the big tree will be directly on your left about 100 yards from the gate.

9:30....see everyone there.

[comanchedude]

Was very muddy as expected, but we had a blast..and we found out that AidaJK11 CAN wheel !

[Trigger]

Aida certainly put that JKU through its paces. No lockers, no mud tires, just pure desire and grit. Great job!

[94Dodge Truggy]

The mud scared me away but I got my chores done and the misses is happy!

[Coppertop]

I had a blast.....Aida done a great job..:thumbup: She was fun to watch.

Aida,make sure you pressure wash the inside of the wheels,to remove all the mudd around your brakes.The pass side should be pretty muddy.I spent an hour last night washing the mudd off mine.

Hey now!! :D

I'm surprised those tires did so well in some of that slop. But it's not the driver, its the machine!

Yea, I'm going to take it to the wash this week. That passenger side will probably take me a hour to get all the mud out, haha!


That was a lot of fun out there! Now I'm going to want to go all the time!! These next 3 months are going to suck!
