Let's go wheelin' January 7th! Another XJ and I will be there, and so should you. Redbird is open 9-5 that day. We plan to be there when the gates open if not shortly after. PM me if you plan to go so we can exchange phone numbers. Cell phone service is VERY shoty in and around the Dugger, In area, so call before you get close and leave a voicemail with your number if I don't pick up. Its possible to find service, just rare. I will then do my best to track you down.

This would be a great event to test out your new christmas parts, or do I shakedown on your winter project!! Be there!

 

I am looking forward to joining in on this trip. My jeep is up and ready to trash lol. I am new to the area and have never been to redbird. Hope my jeep can hang with the rest of you locals..

 

You will fit right in! Glad you are in!

With the SGT we have 5 rigs now:
3 XJs
1 YJ
1 JK Rubi

Come one come all!

 

yea yea! lets break some stuff and weld some more. im there!

 

Get some! She's prime.

 

So where is redbird ?How far away from Evansville ?

 

Is google turned off?

Its near Dugger, IN about 1.5hrs away from you. A very do-able day trip for you. Be there!

 

Got on their site and it looks awesome. Still got some things i gotta do before she is 100% ready but i hope i can make it. HAve you been up there before ? how bad is it ? like interlake or badlands ?

 

Loaded ready to trail ride.......looking forward to the meet and ride. Any pointers from those of you that had been there before? My jeep is still registered in florida with legal plate and insurance any special info I need on that prior to showing up?

 

Taken from the Redbird site, "If your vehicle is a licensed street legal vehicle you are not required to have an off-highway registration."

You are good if street legal and licensed. No flag required. If you come prepared as you would for any other wheeling event, tools, recovery gear, ect, you will be perfect. Their is a gas station in Dugger with free air for those not trailering.

Redbird can make your heart pound with its off camber situations. Its a former coal mine, and has lots of hill climbs. You can expect a little mud, or a lot depending on precipitation. There is a good mix of trails, and I will do my best to keep us on manageable trails for the whole group. Hope for no snow! Snow makes some of the more fun trails for my rig too crazy for me. There will still be plenty to do even if snow happens.

You tow set up looks great!

 

Thanks, Its a 92 f350 crew cab 7.3 diesel with a banks turbo,4x4, auto, Centurian Conversion.

Thanks for all the info

 

You're welcome. I am looking forward to this!

Other things to note:
-Admission is only $10 per rig, no passenger fee.
-Ask for a trail map when you pay. They aren't perfect, but come in handy.
-My name is Greg.

 

Should be a good turnout if we don't slide into any trees

 

Ha! You're telling me. A meeting with Busch and Mr. Morgan will sooth the soul.

 

Less than one month! Hope everyone is getting their rig ready. I am.

This will be a great event for anyone. Newbs, if you have never wheeled, or are nervous about joining, don't be. Join us and learn from us/with us. This is going to be fun!

I will try to whip up enough cookies for the group so we have an awesome trail snack.
