There really isn't a Black-Blue group. The group running Blacks will be running closer to and including Reds. Also, This group is very full. Even if people drop out we would prefer to not back-fill.

Do you still want in the Green Group?

Sure I'll go green group

Wow this got big! Looking forward to it. My name is Phil if you want to add it to your list. Beast's details are in my signature. Want to start a pitch in list for the parking lot BarBQ? Happy to bring anything that's needed.
 
Going to try and keep this on the last page....

Please be at RC.... and ready to roll by 8:30 (SHARP). Large groups always loose time getting rolling no one wants to loose half the day in the parking lot.

We are going to try this Eddie and Cindy style where we run a trail type as once group but have smaller sub groups and leaders to keep us moving better. (This worked very well on the Rubicon) As such, I have lumped the trail types below in a post I am able to edit. Please let me know if I am missing something or a change is needed.

Moved List to last page....

I'm in for greens and some easy blues.
I will also have 2 other rigs with me.

I wasn't ignoring you.... I wasn't sure what to do. JK07 had already requested a Green spot and the only reason I didn't have them in it was I asked for confirmation. With their confirmation the Green is full. I will PM Jim to see if he is cool with leading another.

Cutting it close for me an parts. I hate to say, but to daily a jku everyday an wheel it really takes it toll. the past two months ive had to replace my trans solenoid, an my winch line since it started to fray.
Its really affected my beadlock funds. Also found out my rear axles are bent... So would it be safe to wheel with bent axles? I will be making all kinds of noise on the trail, it already squeeks like crazy because the hubs is pushing the rotors at weird angles.
Or should I swallow pride an do green trails this time around? :grayno:

any advice guys? thanks

Not having bead-locks shouldn't be an issue. When you say bent axles I assume you meant the flange? If so, it (sadly) is very common. It is totally up to you but, but we will be hitting some stuff that has the potential to make it worse (or if you are lucky bend them back). If they get too bad you could be looking at also needing brake parts. How bad are they now?

As far as moving to the Green goes.... That group is already more full than I think is fair for one leader. If you move would you be comfortable leading or at least co-leading a second group like we will be doing in the Black/Red group?

I have my old stock shafts that are not bent. Not sure if they are good since they have been sitting outside tho.

Tyler if you dont want to wheel it you can always ride along with me and help me lead.

The shafts themselves should be fine or be able to be cleaned up, but the bearings are likely done now.

It could be either shafts or flange. I've been wheeling fine with them bent, it's just noisy lol.
How I found out was when I replaced my rear rotors (thinking that was the problem) my pads are still really good too.
When I had it on the lift with my new rotors it still rotated with a high side to it, then I knew it was something bent.
Also , I know I don't need beadlocks, just I been saving up for slabs for awhile, plus I don't want to put my new nitto graps on till I get them.
It seems every month I've been breaking something on my jeep 😔 it's been keeping me from getting new parts lately.
It's like I'm chasing my own tail lol.

Thanks Jim , yeah I'm just up in the air right now. Sucks having stuff break at the wrong time of the year. Think I could take my rig on the greens an help you lead? Or would it be better if I tagged along with you?
Also not sure if your bringing anyone else, but if I do go with you can I bring my girlfriend?
You do have a four door now 😁😆
