1.) 1 locking differential...preferably 2.
2.) 33 inch tires or bigger. Bigger tires and a heavy right foot DONNOT compensate for no lockers.
3.) FRONT and REAR safe to use, tow points on your Jeep...preferably you have your own WORKING winch. Wrapping a tow strap around your front or rear axle does not pass for safe to use tow points.
Thats two pages on this thread I have spelled out the minimums on now. I have spent too many wheeling trips in Walker trying all day to get through one trail because guys thought they were good to go to hang with properly outfitted Jeeps. Thats not happening this time. I plan to run every trail in Walker in about 4-6 hours. I know I can do it because I have done it several times alone in my Jeep. That said, I can't keep anybody from showing up and running Walker but, guys who are open, not lifted, with bald all season radial tires and no tow points, WILL NOT run with me!!

Dude we have got to figure out a way to get you up to Walker. You need to plan a weekend and come stay overnight somewhere. I know it's about the same drive for me to come down to Elbe, 4 hours driving.....cept I have family to stay with in Chehalis. It's 3 hours for me to Chehalis. Stay overnight with the folks and then just drive the other hour to Elbe the morning of the run.

When I get back from my Deployment over in Durka Durka Stan
. We need to plan a Super End All PNW wheeling run. A run where we run Elbe Hills, Evans Creek and Walker Valley all in one 3 day weekend. That is my dream run. Kinda like our own XJ Ultimate Adventure.

Although I will probably be getting home just in time for the "Last Chance" Naches Run. Remember that will be going down the last Saturday before 15 November, when they close the gates for the winter. I'm going on that next time if at all possible. I want a run up there where I'm not being held up all day by a bunch of Maroons on their Wrongler Rubicans.

Lol, that does sound bad ***, the 3 day, 3 orv park run! Need me a tow rig for that, soon enough!
The naches run, we went on this year but ended up going up the other side and not able to meet everyone because they closed chinook the freaking day of the run!
It was a blast though, had 4 jeeps and it was slick as chit!
Definately going again this year.

Hey Dude. I checked out the thread you have on your Furd 8.8 install. The gears and posi unit in your axle appear to be in really good shape and with the rear discs awesome score!! I think you will get along just fine with that setup. I hope you get it all together in time to go next weekend.

Cool Matt. Sounds Good. Sounds like the whole bunch going on this trip has new things on their Jeeps to try out.
