We were on part of the power line trail. I think the spot before the "little Rubicon". It has a mud hill on the left that 3pete, Kevin, a big truck (Sorry I don't remember your name) and I were playing on a couple weeks back. the Buggys made the mud trail look so easy, they started climbing from the road up to the top. The bottom part of it must have been at 45 degree angle!
Brian, It was nice meeting you! Yes Jeff (AgentJ) was the one that tested his new air setup with you. He is the one in the silver xj with the new lift and tires.
Jeff, Thanks for the fun once again! Your jeep is comming along nicely!

I would say the "big red ford" was one of the cleanest put together trucks I have seen. I could see $150K being spent on it. Everything I saw was top notch. The Heim joints were HUGE and were way stronger then needed. All the 4 link brackets and welds looked great and strong. I don’t know how much the shocks were but they had to be money as well. In short, I would say the truck was setup to take some abuse.

Brian Brian, what you were doing on the 2nd leg of power line trail is ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!! Myself and Many of this sites members and other work our butts off so these trails are open to EVERYONE.... Blazing your own trails because a hill is to easy for you is NOT COOL  and only makes it that much easier to shut down our trails... TSF is the closest wheeling we have and we work hard with ODF to keep it open. If your looking for a tougher hill go to the black diamonds or double/triple diamonds. I hope you will practice tread lightly from here on out. Also I'm not sure if you know this but side by sides are in the same class as fullsize rigs and are not allowed on quad/ dirtbike trails if they catch you they do not give out warnings just tickets. |

Kevin, I don't really know if it was legal or not, There was already a trail their.. It's not like they were making a new one and it was on the side of the road where we were playing going up that mud hill.
If that trail is not legal, then I would have to question the mud hill trail beside the power line that we were going up as well, or any of the little off shutes from the powerline road? I guess it is a fine line and no one of us want to cross. None of us want more trails shut down.

Just because someone else done it before does not make it legal, and if you were caught by the sheriff on it I would think they would say the same thing. Sorry for the thread jack.... |
