Yeah that should work for me Kevin......ill PM you my cell number. I'm trying to get out one last time before Windrock. Made a few minor adjustments to the truck since Harlan.....hydro assist adjustments, new drive shafts, CO spring rates and most importantly a muffler install!.......o and some wake tower speakers for those long trail rides.

Im pretty excited for this trip now that some of the "test run" nerves are gone

Jim can't leave Thursday either, so it's back to Friday morning. What did you do for drive shafts? I have to fix mine still.

All I've got to say is don't go without a guide... my first time there I drove around for 6 hours before I ever found rock worth playing on. I guess you OH folks are use to that though.

93 Krawler · 09-06-2013, 01:47 PM

3 weeks left. Anyone else want to join us?

I'm going with a group out of the Louisville area and we'll be there from Wed until at least Friday, possibly may do a run on Saturday-Sunday as well if my junk is still in one piece.

As far as the tow, it's not that bad at all. My tow rig is a 5.7 Hemi gasser Durango and I've made the trek twice since I got the rig and trailer. If that heavy pig can haul ok, then you guys with real tow rigs won't have any issues at all!

Cool, stop by and say hey. I figure we will be there by noon Friday.

bbtank45 · 09-11-2013, 11:13 AM

Any thoughts about leaving Thursday night?

-Feeler....any1 want to get out on the trail one more time before going down?......ive made some modifications and would like to give them a shake down run.

Jim and Jimmy can't leave till Friday morning. I could leave Thursday evening. Chris "GotHodgie" and Robert "Wrenchmonkey" are thinking about going too. Robert would leave around noon on Friday. What time you thinking about leaving on Thursday?

I got way to much to do to go anywhere before the trip.

coachholland · 09-11-2013, 01:36 PM

I haven't seen Robert since the TORC days, so most definitely will stop by!

Hmmm...

Redriverranger · 09-13-2013, 09:10 PM

I'd love to do the Windrock run, but there is no way I can make it happen with a couple rides the weekends before. Have a great time.

beer_goggles_009 · 09-16-2013, 10:12 PM

I figured out my schedule. I can leave Thursday night if the rest of group is planning on that.

Crawford is definitely out. He's starting his room addition this week.

What time Thursday are we leaving? I don't usually get home from work till 5:30, but I could leave a little early if needed. I might have one more coming with us.

beer_goggles_009 · 09-17-2013, 07:41 PM

I could do whatever works for everyone else. I usually get off work at 3:30 so whenever you want is fine. I suggest that we try and avoid rush hour through Cincy.

I assume we will meet at the rest stop on 75 like normal. Truck side.

It looks like we might hit the 3-6 rush hour. What time we hit the rest stop will depend on what time Ben gets off work.

I'm loaded and ready to go.

I'll be working on the GPS maps for the park today.

bbtank45 · 09-23-2013, 08:43 AM

Im really hoping to leave work by 4.....which puts me home at 4:30 and ready to roll by 5ish. Theres a chance i could get out a little earlier....

Any1 deciding to come with us other than myself, Kevin and Jim B.?

-I picked up my new third member from Crawford last night, so ill slap that in tonight and ill be ready and loaded on Tues or Wed.

93 Krawler · 09-23-2013, 01:51 PM

I found a good GPS map of Windrock. I marked all the good stuff too. We should be able to get around without getting lost.

The weather is looking awesome.

We were there last weekend in the monsoon. Here are a couple vids of upper rattlerock in the rain. We crawled lower but upper was pretty much a throttlefest to the exit. You guys have fun!
