I'd love to, but I have to get ready for a fishing tournament I've got coming up next week. I think this might be the weekend to go if you want to try your 4R out in the mud. Stay dry and have fun.

I had a great time today. No real incidents of any substantial consequence. Thanks to everyone that came out. Good group of people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You hit the nail on the head. I've got to get to work on Tuesday and I'm planning on doing it in my 4R. If something looks like it's going to cause issues I don't plan on attempting it. Having said that, I know these vehicles are way more capable than I am. Taking your time and relying on a...

Great. I'll add you to the list.

I like your idea of hitting the NE side first as a warm up. Good starting off point.

Congratulations, I hope Mom and the new addition to the family are doing well! Okay - I edited my original post to contain a list of confirmed and possible attendees. We can all meet at the check in/registration area. They have a big parking lot there - you'll see some pretty cool rigs I'm...

Kind of hard hard to explain how they charge. Basically if it's your first time there you need to pay a membership fee of $15. The membership is good for a year. Then there's a $40 charge for the day. Passengers also have to buy a membership. You can find the exact details on the link to their...

:bump: Anyone else???

Yep. Be getting there at around 9AM on Sunday morning.

We'll be arriving there right around 9AM at the check in/registration area.

I will be there. Who else do we have as a definite?

Obviously you're going to need to operate it. Ideally you'll be able to pull against some weight - around 500 pounds or so minimum. It should run smoothly and not jerky. Does it have wire or synthetic line on it? Either way you'll want to unspool it (leave at least 5 wraps on the drum) and take...

I think a 4R would be great in this color, and I don't really like blue vehicles. I only ever had one - a Land Rover D90 in Arles Blue which is a similar color. I put 140K miles (some of them pretty hard) on that truck with very little issue. I still miss that thing.

I sold my TE wheels with tires, TPMS sensors/valve stems, and lug nuts for $500 to another forum member. They had about 800 miles on them at the time. Post yours up on craigslist and the for sale/wanted thread - you'll find them a new home.

That's an interesting choice of skid you've made there!
