Hi, I'm Craig!
Haha, ya I'm bad at remembering names as well!!! I "overheard" him talking at the gym, well I wasn't really listening until the words Land Cruiser were spit out and then my Steve Austin (who remembers him, not the wrestler!) hearing zoned right in. So I had to let him know about the fine little niche cyberspace we have carved out on here.
Glad you found it and I'm sure we will be talking more.

If anyone is dragging trailers on Friday please use the bypasses as not to slow the run down. The last thing we want to do is break out a winch because a trailer is hung up  Save the trailer wheeling to when we are having fun not when other people are paying on a sanctioned run.
/edit Didn't want this post to come off in a negative tone, just figured common courtesy to those that are paying and don't get to run it whenever they want. It's nice when things go smooth. For us, we can drag a trailer through the sluice anytime and if you get stuck I can find a way around you

If I take my trailer (which it may not be done yet anyway....), it'll be empty save for maybe my camping stuff, which is about 50 lbs if that.
I could jump out and lift it over anything if needed.
It's a much smaller trailer than even your military one. If Travis drug his trailer through without issue, I really have no doubts I'll be able to get mine through.

I can always play tail end charlie if need be, and you know me G, I hate holding up the group. 
I'm not concerned about it getting hung up, it's more of where I'll bash it on rocks and will need to reinforce it....

Fix it now, before McGrew. You don't want to be fixing it on the trail. Trust me.
I'll be in GP tomorrow working on my truck until about 4ish. If you're free before then, PM me and I'll shoot you my cell #.

That's right, I'm naturally sarcastic. Just ask the  .
Seriously though, I'm running 35's on mine, so unless you got a 35" tire I'd rather not (have to) run it. It's doable, but involves putting it on the back, unbolting the rear DS, and making sure the center diff is locked the whole time. Pain in the arse to do.

That's one of the catches. I'll only be bringing it if I can get new tires (both tires on it now are about worn out, and both leak a bit). I also need to clean it up, re-wire it, probably get it sandblasted to get this nasty (thick) rust crap off, weld up some holes......
Oh, and worse case scenario I'll flip it over and strap it to my roof. Whiskey Tango! 
I think I'm gonna be asking Jeri down at Expert Tire if she's got any decent used ones in their trailer that'll fit, considering I just spent about $500 down there (not to mention buying my tires originally) I'm figuring she should hook me up.
Funny thing is everyone down at Expert Tire knows who the and I are (and recognize our trucks). When my wife took her truck in for an oil change (mine was in getting the spare put on and some other misc stuff being done) Jeri told her "It's been a while since you've had the twins both in!"
