I can help you out, when are you thinking?
I’m up to be another set of hands and/or hang out.
Name a day and I can probably make it, too.
You guys wanna shoot for next weekend? The 14th or 15th?

The 14th is the st. Patrick's day parade. We are going to that. I could do after that or the 15th thoughYou guys wanna shoot for next weekend? The 14th or 15th?
....I’m thinking of going to 4”
@TRevs - if you plan to be on a 2” lift I may have springs to sell you. I’m thinking of going to 4” and may part with the 2” OME HD springs I put on less than 4,000 miles ago. Just a thought that could help us both out

That might work; are they the heavy springs that people sometimes refer to as 2.5"?
What tire size are you running now with them?

@Colo-TJ made the official announcement on the other forum (Chad, hope you don't mind me spreading the word here).

The harder run is Chinamans Gulch. Requirements are as follows (just like in October), TJ, YJ, CJ or other short wheelbase will need a minimum of a 33" tire and ZJ, XJ, JK, JL or other longer rigs need 35" tire minimum. At least 1 locker is recommended. Body armor, rock sliders, and any under body protection (raised skids really help!) is also recommended. Sway bar disconnects are also required or something similar. This trail is getting harder so what you might see in previous post or other sites may not be up to date.
Rookies are welcome but you MUST listen to your spotters as they will know the trail the best. If there is something you want to try, we'll spot you thru it. Anyone spotting won't put you in a situation where you are not comfortable. We have a good group of folks, so prepare yourself for some light ribbing as well.
There is usually a group that runs the milder trails in the 4 mile area, I am not sure what these trails include but typically there is a seasoned veteran that leads it. Once I figure out who that is I can post the info here too.
These are all day trips. Bring food, water, plenty of clothes for any type of weather. Bring your tool kits, first aid kits, good shoes. Be prepared for anything. Make sure your rig is up to par--an issue on the trail can make the long day longer. Expect some level of damage. Things can happen, and we'll be there to help you, but please make sure everything is ready on your rig (control arm mounts, shafts, ujoints, etc..) and bring tools!
It would and you should. Chinaman is a good moderate/difficult trail. Right next door in the same parking area is Carnage Canyon, which might be one of the closest things we have to JV out here.
Want to try out those 35s after Chinaman?
This seems to be more of the jibber jabber thread. So I'll post this over here.
Do you guys think this trail would be a good shake down run for my red LJ? I'm not looking for hard core while I break everything in so it sounds like it could be a good match. April 4th may be perfect timing for me and while CO is a little far would be nice to get so much street time in my Jeep too. If you guys think I'm better waiting for a different or more scenic trip let me know.
It is still dependent on getting the shocks tuned and having the remote filler neck installed would be convenient if I'm stopping every 3 hours to gas up.
Maybe in October. I'll still be the little Jeep on this one. But I do intend to go a little ways up into Carnage next month.
Im terrified. I've walked it and it's no joke. Mike ran it a few years ago and his rig hasn't been the same since.
I am up for a run on carnage as wellI'll run part of it with ya!
