Would love to see you and the "girls" Ray, hope you can make it.
Of course, any rig is welcomed. Only reason that FJC got brought into my other read is because that is what the moron that almost hit us happened to be driving.
Bring him along! BUT, if i found out that he is the asshat that almost hit me, there will be quite a show at the campfire!
Wasn't me. I'm not sure when I can make it out there. Fri late night or Sat morning.

^ HA! He does have a silver FJC, but it really wasn't him. ^KightOwl said:

If the FJ is stock height and tires, make sure someone is up above him on the first rock garden. It's not bad, but we did have one FJ get stuck there. He was a newbie and stock everything.
Yeah, stock height and tires (for now). He's new to the FJC, but not wheeling. I'm sure we'll make it work.Brentbba said:
Other guys did it with stock FJC's. I don't think you'll have a problem.KightOwl said:
Stock FJC
A lifted and locked 80 will scoff at the Coyote Rock climb. In my humble opinion a stock FJC with the running boards removed and a competent driver will do fine but having said that, unless you stack a lot rocks or are really good, your gonna grind through a few sections of the rock climb. If you have a manual trans that will make it that much more challenging. Expect minor skid damage and possible body damage with no boards and no sliders. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure all of the FJC's in our group had at least rock rails. Anyhow just my 2 cents.

I'm not too familiar with all the runs out there, however, I do have a guide book with good trail descriptions. If no one comes up with an agenda, we could use the book to determine where we want to go (wing it).smittycrusher said:
My thinking as it stands right now:
Meet Kevin (Boston Mangler) Friday night and find a camp and maybe do some light wheeling. (Still have to set up time details w/ Kevin). Tentatively, I'll be at the XL Gas station around 5pm. Others who are coming Friday need to chime in so we can hook up or make arrangements so you can find us CB or by phone. My phone service works in some spots out there.
Wheel Saturday morning until 9am meeting time. Then . . .
Finally, Sheep / Coyote Canyon late Saturday afternoon.
I'll pack to camp Saturday also, but not sure if I will or not.
Tweak as you see fit.
KightOwl has sliders and a locker (right?).

I am shooting for Friday. I could/would be very late to camp though. Maybe as late as midnight. Depends on when my friend can get off work in Santa Monica. I am hoping he can skip out early and we can be on the road by 5 or 6 to sit in traffic
. Only time will tell.Smit

Since I'm probably going to be the earliest arrival, I'm probably going to be camped east of Calcite Mine Rd. Towards Truckhaven. Maybe even in Truckhaven depending on the situation. I going to try to find a spot with an existing fire pit.
IIRC, one can only make a fire in a metal container and must take (cold ) ashes with you when in the Park. Don't know about the SVRA and Truckhaven.
there is a neat primitive camp with toilets and maybe provisions for campfires (?) at the beginning of the Arroyo Salado wash trail, just South of S22 a bit W of the Calcite Mine Rd.
