Sounds good to me. Give me a call/text whenever and we can work out the details. I'm going to busy later this afternoon/evening because I am going to see Brian Regan tonight @ 8 at Warner Theatre...So if I don't answer, I will call you back ASAP.

sweet! this is going to be fun!
miklohakim, you'll love it! GWNF is the first place I went offroading. That was last fall with my wheels and tires but without the FJ swap, so only about a half inch higher than stock. No issues at all! Rausch was a different story, even with the fj swap i came back needing new skids and sliders
I have my tcase and tranny skids but still need to get the front IFS and then take the time to install it all. Got sidetracked with doing my CB but the IFS should be my next T4r purchase, although it may be DDM HIDs for my fogs since my yellow bulbs keep blowing and i'm using my girlfriends headlights from her highlander after I put silverstars in for her.
Who is in for camping? TuckerTaxi brought it up to me and I was already thinking about it. Flagpole Knob is a great spot for it. I plan on bringing my huge tent, a little webber, some chairs, my tailgating speaker for music, obviously some beers and whatever else I think of. Any ideas/suggestions?

Yeah from what I have heard GWNF is pretty light and can be done with a stock T4R. Rausch Creek is a completely different story because there are rocks everywhere! I have been twice since moving to the area and I can do green trails without a problem and I have even been able to do a couple blue trails (with the help of my locker and a really good spotter). The blues definitely made me nervous though because I didn't have rock sliders and I still have the factory skids so skids and sliders are definitely toward the top on the list of mods.

Yea I banged up pretty good on the blues but I think the worst was when the blue forked into 2 blacks and I had to crawl over rocks to keep going.
I've got an 8 person tent if you did want to camp. Flag pole is about 30 min from Bo's I believe. I was a follower last time but I've got directions to it bookmarked.

Nice!!! I cant wait. BTW Ive got an ultimate lift with 275s so I think I should be ok. Jpless I've never had any issues with my fog bulbs, they are from Hoen and they are yellow. I went that route because I got lazy and didn't feel like wiring an HID kit for the fogs. I love them.

Yeah you'll be just fine.
Ouch! Black trails with barely any lift is way rough. Props for getting through it relatively undamaged.
Thanks for the offer but I completely forgot that it is one of my friends' birthday this weekend so I think we are going to hit the bars tomorrow night...
yeah it looks like about 2 hours or so from Arlington as well so 11 is probably a good meet up time. Also, which Bo's Xpress did you have in mind? I did a google search and came up 3:
Bo's Xpress
1217 Berryville Avenue, Winchester, VA
(540) 667-2237
Bo's Xpress
202 East Cork Street, Winchester, VA
(540) 678-0383
Bo's Xpress
3612 Valley Pike, Winchester, VA
(540) 869-6708

This one: Bo's Express 60 Stoney Creek Road, Edinburg, VA 22824 - Google Maps
60 Stoney Creek Road Edinburg Va. Its where I met guys last time, you can get the passes at the gas station and the trails are fairly close.
I'm not sure why my right fog keeps blowing. It has done it with yellow bulbs in, both ebay types and putco jet yellows. I even replaced the housing for moisture one time, so now my fog lenses are slightly different. I have a matching set of fog housings I'm going to put in eventually, maybe this afternoon I figured id go DDM since its 50 bucks I've already gone through 2 pairs of $30 putcos and 2 or 3 $10 ebay bulbs.

Anyone opposed to a later meet up time, or a secondary meet up time?

Currently targeting 1130 at Bo's. Post here or Facebook group If coming and we'll wait for you if you're running a bit late, just update the thread or tune to cb channel 4
I responded to you text message, but just in case it didn't go through I will be there! Also, I need to get in on the Facebook group, can you post a link to it?
Unfortunately I don't have my CB yet...I got some more components in the mail today but I'm still waiting on the actual CB and my antenna mount.
