I would like to add Bear Wallow to the 2019 calendar. Some place different would be nice.
Hopefully I have my rig done by then.

I don't think the RZR would do well there.

I'll post more info and links to the place later on.....

Ben and I are down to going. Anyone else?

I will be able to make this Trip.

I would like to also see this added to the 2019 calendar, however i will most likely not be in attendance for any Runs depending on healing and doctors orders.
As far as your rig goes..
It will be done wether you like it or not, it's been down too long, you need back in the "bigger" rig

BearWallow was Awesome people
This needs to be put on your place you wanna check out,
There is mild to Wild for all to wheel, A razor would have a good time on just the main trials, just beware you could find yourself ramping off of a mountain side with the unique ramps and turns going up and down the mountains.
Wasn't able to take many pics on this Run, I have a few videos and I'm sure Andrea "Ben's woman" will have some nice pics to share

Carnage....

I was able to experience the consequences of 47 inch tall tires along with a constant Rev Limiter at times what can happen with a Truss not propery Welded from a manufacturer the back of a 14 bolt rearend.

It started out as a small crack in the weld I happened to notice when we were stopped fixing a bent Rim, we discussed it and realized this is something that will need attention after this wheeling trip, the next day we learned that this was not the case as it came apart and ripped and sent his 14 bolt upward resulting in a broken 1410 u-joint.

I'm sure Ben or Andrea will have pics of this...

This is the result of poor penetration during welding. Just because it's pretty, doesn't mean its effective/strong.

Sky Offroad manufactured this truss and over a distance 24"......1.5" made good penetration for a fillet weld. This is 1/4" plate.

All of my welds are still tight. Time to break out the plasma cutter.
