let me know if the plan changes johnny....
well the girl part is no problem, my g/f will prob be with me if johnny can't go, and dale will have his too..... that trail were planning on is about 5 minutes from MARRION BRIDGE on the mira river, its on the other side of the mountain from EAST BAY..... you sohuld be able to find one of those places on the map... still looking like a go now.... as for how extream, well i'll be hitting every rock there till i find my limit for the day, dale prob will be on most of it too.... but the trail has so many different line you can take a stocker through.... -Mike....

I am interested.
Pretty much stock. 2" on 31s with a winch.
But I did this trail with no lift and GSAs, so this should not be a problem.

yeah and i did it in a 2wd dogde 1/2 ton...... one friday night at like 11pm we started the trail..... took a while but it was fun, no matter what we did we felt the need to laugh.... ;D it still looks like a go, but i don't think i'll be buying new leaf springs and shocks for my tow rig.... its crying for new glow plugs dosn't really like the cold...lol so it'll be a long slow tow out and back cause it really needs rear springs and shocks... so is sunday good for everyone? or whould you rather between 10am and 2pm on sat???

ok then how about this........ saturday, 10am, we meet at the trail head.... now the trail head is at the end of chaple road.... chaple road is off of the Intervale road.....
if you are not farmilular with the area, find MARRION bridge on a map..... just before marrion bridge on the sydney side theres a road that is unmarked, called "grand mira north road", some call it the sandfield road..... you head towards grand mire north and sandfield till you come to "two rivers wildlife park" on the left, and directly across the street is the "intervale road" go up there and i think its the 2nd road on the right, its called chaple road, its a dirt road on the right just after a turn....we'll meet right by the last house....
now this is the plan as of now, i'm not 100% sure if my tow rig will be up for this or not.... but i'm going to try as of now.... if things change i'll let you know, if not i'll see you there..... the more the marrier... i'll be there anyways since my hunting camp is on chaple road..... -mike....

This is Dale, I am up on the power line with Mike. I would just like to say that first ALL JEEPS ARE GIRLS! Second there are no Jeeps on this trail,what happened?? The puddle at the head of the trail too deep to get across?? If anyone decides to come just follow the Bogger tracks up the Mountain to the power line and we should'nt be too hard to find.

......... Have a blast and Mike? You may want to keep it vertical this time bud. Dude Im a girl and I still havent rolled mine... hahahaha, well funny you would say that....lol.......... ;D..... but the good news is that the new full cage and 4pt. harness works very well, the windshield on the other hand got even more smashed, still only on the passenger side though, so i'm still good, gotta add more glue..... ;D Matt and Fred Cooke arrived just in time to take pics of that little incident, so i'll have pics soon.... Now onto business...... I just want to say that if you post up and say your comming and then can't make it, POST UP THAT YOUR NOT GOING TO MAKE IT..... we check the board a few times from Dale's blackberry thing and were expecting someone to show since noone said they can't make it......... anyways, I guess the trail was too rough for jeepers ;D

Inmy own defence, I mentioned that I wasn't going. I have yet to wheel w/Fred. I went w/Mathew a number of years ago.I keep selling Rubicons and never see them getting used
