Hate to do it, but I'm heading to Haspin...

carwash · 08-21-2009, 10:23 PM

Looking for some ballsy rigs to join me...

I'm not running a winch yet, and if i get this pig stuck, imma need some muscle to pull my ass out...

Anybody wanna join? Going Sunday morning...

kb9qdi · 08-21-2009, 11:50 PM

I'll be there in my TJ with another buddy in his XJ. I have a winch if ya get stuck

We run channel 16 on the cb and will be there 10ish or so.

Rigs we'll be in:

so let us know how it went

carwash · 08-22-2009, 12:43 AM

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.

JeepHD · 08-22-2009, 09:19 AM

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 · 08-22-2009, 09:48 AM

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 · 08-22-2009, 10:01 AM

What is 491????

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

HumminNBoatin · 08-22-2009, 10:50 AM

what and where is 491??????

AFTERSHOCK151 · 08-22-2009, 11:48 AM

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

carwash · 08-22-2009, 03:21 PM

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 · 08-22-2009, 03:34 PM

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

NKYJEEPSTER · 08-22-2009, 04:27 PM

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 · 08-22-2009, 07:59 PM

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

carwash · 08-22-2009, 08:40 PM

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.

kb9qdi · 08-23-2009, 12:03 AM

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

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

kyrel69 · 08-26-2009, 10:19 AM

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 :)

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

Nick

WrenchMonkey · 08-27-2009, 01:40 AM

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...
