hey, mine is pretty near stock.... just have coil spacers up front and 32" tires

alot of the trails you can do

only problem i had was some of the hill climbs are rutted pretty deep...... and stay away from the water

still there is alot of fun to be had

l8r, John

There are plenty of trails for all kinds of rigs, from brand new bone stock street tire trucks to lifted trucks sittin on 37's...loads of fun and awesome scenery...Railman, PM me some pics of our last run so I can post them up on here...

Anyone interested in making the trip can post here or PM me, the sooner the better so I can put your name on the list. For those that want to go but won't have a rig to drive on the trails, some of us will have passenger seats.

I would like to attend. How much money will I be laying down all in all?

I will be requiring an empty seat as I will drive the 04, alas the paint is flawless.

For those that can find an empty seat in a TRS truck, entry fee is free, it is 15 dollars per vehicle for a 3 day pass, which is required for any wheeling. As for as parking, I don't believe there is a charge for parking, which there is plenty of room for parking right outside the OHV area. Frank, I'll put you down as a rider, unless you have a 4 wheeler/dirt bike/UTV you'd like to ride with us
SVT

hey Frank, the main "yellow" roads have some fun hills and "obsticles", but you will nowhere near get your paint scratched

and yeah, Rick will have an open seat for the "orange" trails which are tight and you could get scratched with some decent hillclimbs

the areas designated with "red" rings are challenge areas and offer "white knuckle" hillclimbs

most of the deeper water crossings and mud bogs have pass arounds for those of us prone to hydrolocking

btw, where in WKY are ya?



as far as pics go from the 4th......comeing right up

here are some pics from this last weekend


Rick dropping in a small pit








one of my rig



crossing a dry creek

here is a steep hillclimb











another water crossing by the lake









i should have took more pictures but was havin' too much fun....ohhh, til i blew my driver side lockout

l8r, John

I'd like to join in, after just coming from LBL I'm ready to head back again... I'd have to ride with someone being I have no 4wd right now... I'll bring my nice camera and make sure I get plenty of pics...

BTW - SVT, I saw your truck in Dover last weekend, at the baseball fields... Hard to miss it, lol...

like i said before, ya really don't need 4wd for the main "yellow" roads.....and if for some reason ya did we can allways hook up a strap
