What's the final plan. I would love to meet up with you before you take off. Where and when :cowboy:

Hmm haven't decided yet. I haven't been on very many trails. Trevloc's 2wd did camp Kennedy so I think he can do peppersauce but I heard chiva falls is a fun one. What do you suggest Sam?

I would say that Perepersauce and Rice Peak are doable in a 2wd but Chiva calls is a no way for Trev. (sorry bro) everybody will have a good time doing pepersauce and Rice Peak. There is even a chance I can go but I cant commit just yet. The other option is to go to the Gap (slightly easier than chiva but harder than rice peak). If everybody wants to drive I would say PS and Rice peak.

Alright peppersauce it is. Now when I did it I started from the top and have no idea when to start from the bottom so hopefully you can make it for my sake. Also do you know how the dirt roads are out there? My suspension isnt in its best condition and the bumps in the road out at camp Kennedy really did a number on my stereo and I had to have it repaired because it wouldn't open anymore. Wondering if I should take it out before.

Trev, sorry to hear about your shoulder. Way to sacrifice for the team. But does this mean that we will all be 4x4? If so I vote that we go to the Gap instead. Way more fun and we can still meet at the same place.

you will do fine bro. first time I ever ran the Gap I was in a stock long bed 85 and in stock trim your 3rd gen is way more capable.

sounds good so on the topic of me being new i dont have a whole lot of gear so if anyone can tell me some things that i definetly need to bring ill try and pick it up friday night. things like tow straps and a hi rise jack are on the list but im hopeing someone will have them this weekend so im only worried about the essentials. also trev i think im going to take my in dash dvd out because like i said it didnt like those dirt roads we were riding out at kennedy camp. so ill try and bring some speakers or something and my ipod so we can have some music :guitar3:

you should have a good basic set of sockets and metric wrenches (I like ratchet wrenches) A good bottle Jack is more important than a HI-lift imho. For a trip like Saturday then it really comes down to food and water and sunscreen. Yes a good tow strap with 2 D-rings is a good basic thing. As you begin to do more and more hard stuff the list will grow but it is a good start. Also make sure you have basic stuff like your lug wrench which you should always have. jumper cables are good too. Its gonna be a fun day:bravo: Oh and as far as your stereo goes leave it in what we are going to be doing will be slow and not bombing down roads.
