I might be towing my bronco down with another project of mine if I can get it ready in time.


Jason, are you just planning to come up for Carnage on the 4th or coming earlier ?


Likely just running carnage on the 4th.

Hey guys, new to the area, so new in fact my bronco hasn't shown up yet. Wondering if there was still some space if its not too late for 2 more plus a dog to come hang out with you guys this weekend. My DD is a 94 explorer that I'd be comfortable running some easy trails with if there's a group doing something scenic on Sat. I'm in the Lakewood area and will probably head that way mid-afternoon on Friday.

Thanks guys!

Folks, forgot all about this since I'm normally unavailable and working, but talking to Phil the other day I remembered this thread.

I don't know if I can make it up tomorrow afternoon, but do you guys know what trail and time you want to start Friday AM? If I can't make it tomorrow, then at least I can join the group Friday.

Also, are there any camp spots available still?

For sure, we have cell service, call or text me if you need to but you can just show up. Not sure exactly who will show up but we should have plenty of camping spots if you want to stay or come on up and wheel for the day.

Thanks.

Not sure on others, but don't wait for me. Spent way too much time helping my son with his Bronco today and ran out of time.

I'll head straight out to Grizzly and run that, maybe I'll see you guys on the trail. If not, I've got my fishing pole...

My buddy and I will be meeting in the Chinaman/carnage parking lot at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning. Hope to see some others! Maybe a late morning/early afternoon Chinaman run if carnage goes well??

Bill and Linda are really great people !

Being on 33” tires made me the “little Bronco” of the group. Plus I was having trouble with my rear ARB not staying locked.......and I remembered that the front works best if you lock both hubs in.

The trails were an absolute blast as they were the perfect level of challenge for me.

To top it off we got to see Jason and a couple of his buggie buddies conquer Carnage. Wait until you see those videos !

Best of all was hanging out with some really great people !

That is some great video there Chris!! What resolution?

Jason - great driving! You've built one heck of a rig there!! I never walked all the way thru Carnage, but I do recognize some of those obstacles! Looks like you could drop your tire psi a little more.

Thanks!

I'm at 10 in front and 8 out back. Gives me a decent footprint and crawls nicely. Any slippage is likely due to difficulty of obstacle and not tire pressure. The guys behind me struggled more than I did and one of them was on 42s with about 6 psi in his. But I might play with the pressures a little on the next outing. Might be looking at death row and Boulder canyon soon. Maybe even 10 falls.
