We were with 5 rigs and managed to hit more than the usual 2-3 trails we typically run. Granted most of the trails were easy, anywhere from level 2-4.

We did the following trails:
Midnight Run, parts of Snoopy Falls, International Highway, Baby Back, Turkey Creek, Slither, North Pole, Rocky, Penthouse, Green Horn 1+2, Dino Falls, Boss Hog, and one that is not on the list, but I know it is located near Dino Falls.
I attempted Jody's revenge, but my rig is not capable without serious damage.

no Renee's Regret .... thoroughly disappointed you didn't even try it . After all that hard work we put into it and our own club won't even run it when they get the chance .......








me neither.... not yet at least
still waiting on a few more mods

You better do the "submarine" conversion mod if you want to run "Renee's Regret" right now.

Looks like you guys(and gals) had a blast at HF... we need to get our crap together and start hitting these things with everyone!!

Eric's Ribs 2nd place..... Company -- 87Gear (210)648-9266. When you call he answers the phone usually. Drop my name (Randy Bigler) and Jeep Nation. He will hook you up!

4.88 for sure !!!!!! I love my 5.13 with 35's first is low low but its the closest thing to having 4.11's and a rubi case.....in the sense of Crawl ratio....

Man I really wish I could've been there to hang out with Eric outside of work...

[quote="smartjk"]great meeting you joe.

great meeting all of yall. i had a blast wheel'n and amazed to what my jeep could and can do.

after sunday... Re-gear is first on my list. I have 4.11 sitting in my room. (pic) The rear has a carrier and the front is just ring an pinion. but idk what i wanna do. i heard i need a carrier for the front and do not wanna deal with that so i wanna sell them. I would rather get a 4.56 or 4.88 gear set for the olllllllo that way its bolts right to existing carriers and overhaul the axle. idk what gear. i like the 4.56 but 4.88 sounds better to run the 33's right now and later the 35's when the km2 wear down. Im thinking 4.88 on 33 would make 1st gear "low" and 6th gear "5th" on highway. I applied some math (if correct) to the whole gear/tire/wheel rotation/ rotating weight (including tranny gear ratios)...and when in 5th (while driving) my final gear is 2.89. i applied 4.56 to the equation and came with 3.70 final gear.... so im a bit confused to 4.56 or 4.88. any suggestions? (the bug bite me...)

Get with Randy, potlickingpitrate and hook up with Eric, the gear guy. He can tell you exactly what works for your needs. I spewed some numbers at him on Sat and he pulled out I guess a calculator or something, by the time I turned around whatever he had he put back in his pocket and came out with calculations which would work best for me. Pick his brain. Check with Randy. .02

I went from 3.73s to 4.88s with an auto trans. I didn't need a carrier for either the front or rear. What gear ratio do you have now?

great meeting you joe.
