    If you're looking at roof baskets check out the Rola on Amazon, thats what I have with the extension and for the price it's pretty decent.

    There is a couple of spots we'll be going through that are perfect for a newbie to get some practice on. All passable in 2wd but there is rocks/ruts and tree roots so it gives them a chance to work on picking good lines. My wife was driving through them last time up and had fun, I might just...

    On side note, just got some more suspension work done! New adjustable upper and lower CA's, 3/4" leveling spacer, new bushings in the front and sway bar disconnects. I got the adjustable ca's in hopes of pushing the axle forward a little so the 33's didn't rub the back, but apparently...

    I haven't check yet, when I was up there 2 weeks ago there wasn't any. We'll be camped at around 3,800' so it should still be pretty green. Last time I was up there I ran into snow about 5 miles from where we'll be camping.

    You got a 5th wheel on that thing? You can come out to the farm and I'll hook you up to one of our 53' Spud trailers... might make her grunt a little

    Nice, it'll be fun to see the big full size in action again. Did you find something to keep you busy around here or is it looking like you might have to go to Portland still?

    It should be a good time, there is no shortage of trails to run in that area. Also plenty of hiking, places to fish and there's the lake if people just want to go hang out. Thursday night at camp we can talk more about trails and where we all want to go, what I threw out for runs was just an...

    There is other spots along 1800 after Bumping camp ground but none of them are all that good, there is some up off of Deep Creek Rd but they are all close to the rd and it gets a lot of traffic going up to Copper City. Up close to the end of 1809 is Granite lake and there is a camp ground up...

    Sounds good, I want to get on the road as early as possible but it sounds like you'll make it to camp a couple hours before us. I would think getting in there that early on Thursday the spot i'm shooting for would still be open but I'll come up with coordinates for some other near by spots as...

    Welcome to the trip! So far it looks like you and @M Rose have the farthest drive, but I think he plans to meet up with us that are leaving from the Tri Cities and convoying over. My plan is to get out of work around noon Thursday, get home, get loaded and be on the road around 2.... But we'll...

    Sounds like FRS or CB might be our go to for this run, which on the trail either of those will be fine. Looking at the RP there is still one open spot for this trip, once all 5 spots are full we can hash out some of these details.

    For coms I still only have CB and some little FRS hand helds. We can see who else decides to come and what they have for coms. But you can tune your ham to pick up FRS right?

    Yes anyone that likes to fish, there is two small lakes close by you can walk into (about 1/4 mile walk) and Bumping Lake is decent sized and about a 4-5 miles drive from camp, there is also two rivers pretty close. As for laws on inflatables I'm not sure.

    I'm fine with a convoy, but I can't guarantee what time I'll be able to leave on Thursday. Seems like it always takes an hour longer to get out of work than I want it to. If people are ok being on standby I can let you know when I'm heading home then we can roll out, or we can plan for a...

    These are the planned runs for Friday and Saturday at the moment, both are easy consisting of mostly FS roads. Depending on who decides to come and how challenging they want things to get we can change things up and head for harder trails...
