Keystone Cruisers February Run 2/21

[Crusha]

Time to start planning our next (and first official Keystone Cruisers) run
Rausch Northeast property this time? It's a $10 additional fee.
I nominate Gary @shmukster as designated tour guide
Roll call!

I've been on the NE property once so I'd like to do it again. I'm liking this once a month run, I finally have something to look forward to

I have a newbie question. I've been working hard to get the rig "trail ready". In my younger years I just went out and broke stuff but not so much anymore. I'm working on making a more durable rig.
Here are the specs in its current state:
Factory rear locker and A-trac
ARB Bull bar w/ warn 8k winch
Rock sliders
OME full 3" suspension 885's front, 895's rear
265-75-17 BFG AT KO (plan on going to a 285 but need to find a buyer for the current set. Only about 8k on them)
snatch block, recovery strap, and some shackles and a cheapie extinguisher.
Factory skids-future plans for some Budbuilts.

Would I be able to run with you guys or would I be holding you back?

 

[Crusha]

@joabmc ...you are more than equipped...come on out!

 

[Stevesnj]

Yeh the rear locker is a big help! TJM makes a front locker kit now for IFS FJs if you get serious enough to do so.
Just found these today!

Thanks. I didn't want to sound like an idiot but I grew up running around in the woods. We ended up breaking in our own trails and breaking our trucks in the process. I have never been to Rausch and I'm excited to link up with everyone.

Yeh this is a tread lightly place so none of that, well marked trails and even a GPS app of the trail system

Great! We were always on private property or by permission. I'm definitely not into tearing up people's property. Surveyor by trade!

 

[Dirty Koala]

I am a maybe, but unlikely. I will most likely have a 1 week old at that point.

[Stoshu]

I'm in. Not gonna miss two in a row!

 

[fireball]

@joabmc you will be just fine.

I'm out for that weekend, will be in British Columbia picking up my new BJ74!

 

[Stoshu]

@mryanangel and @fireball - CONGRATS on your new arrivals, and a safe delivery home for both!

 

[Dirty Koala]

Thank you sir

Runnin' the border, eh?

 

[Pacer]

Id like to invite a friend of mine to join, Mac Kirkpatrick is a local cruiser/moto enthusiast with one of the nicest fj60s I've ever seen. I've wheeled with him in VT, he and his family are good folks.

 

[shmukster]

Sounds good I'm planning to be there.

 

[caz]

I am out. While you guys are freezing your baguettes off at Rausch, I will be happily fishing with my college roomate in Florida!

 

[fireball]

@Pacer, is that Mack with the pretty blue 60? Whom we wheeled with 2 years ago in VT? If so, tell them that Emily and I said hello! They are nice folks and his 60 is gorgeous!

 

[Pacer]

Indeed it is @fireball.
He is doing a VTOverland Day Trip in April and was inquiring about Keystone Cruisers.

I'm not sure I'm in on the 21st or not yet, busy month.
I do love having the option tho, this is great having a local group!
