erinw.rrc Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I may be interested in this trip. If Alyson goes... I really want to go then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlysonH Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 May? MAY?? Nay....I say you ARE interested!Ok, ok I am interested, but I am not interested in ripping off my stock bumpers which seems very likely after seeing the pictures and videos - hence the "may."

DHappel Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well yes, that could be worrisome. If you wanted to come but didn't want to run the trail you could always camp with us then catch a ride. We should have open seats available and the trail isn't too long.

ndamico Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ill be in the same boat. We can give it a shot and if not just park the rigs til later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndamico Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 So do i just need sliders? Is the other armor that important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'd say the sliders are the most important. If you plan to wheel the LR4 more I'd also look at the gas tank and transfer case skids. I certainly have gotten plenty of use out of mine. If you were going to maybe buy another truck for the more adventurous wheeling, then just the sliders might be OK.

ndamico Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Sliders are ordered. Hope to have beginning of next week. How hard is it to do the install solo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Not hard. Give it an afternoon. You have to do some minor trimming of the plastic rocker trim just in front of the front doors. Otherwise it's pretty much a straight bolt on. Hardest part is getting them lined up for the two body mount bolts. It can take a little fishing to get those started. I find a long drift comes in handy to align things. I generally just balance the slider on my floor jack and use that to lift it roughly into position. It's a little heavy to hold it up yourself when trying to start the bolts. Actually, I'll be dropping my driver's side slider this weekend to get to my compressor. Which reminds me - I think you have to install a new bracket for the compressor on the LR4 since it has the AMK. The part will be included.

Guest Pedram Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Finally.... Something to write in.... Hi guys. I wonder if this will update on my emails so I can finally catch up with the club again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think you have to subscribe to the thread to get email updates. I know I don't get them any more, but I'm here pretty much daily so I just hit the 'view new content' button to keep up. I wasn't surprised not to see you around. Seems like you might have something else to keep you busy these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well, with the rain we've gotten in the last 24hrs, I wonder if we'll have snow for this trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi there, I think is to early in the season to do the slick rock trail. Is likely that you will see patches of snow in the trail. Specially with the storm that just rolled through the area dumping several inches of fresh snow. I think it will make the trail extra challenging if there is snow in the trail or may still be close for the season. You might want to call the park ranger station before heading over. Will see if i can make it. Is been a while since i been out. AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 First Pedram reappears, now Antonio! This thread must have some magical ability to raise the dead! Normally I would have thought April was too early as well but as dry and warm as it has been I figured we were OK. But with this storm I'm not so sure.

AlysonH Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just found out today I need to work that weekend, so I'm out. Have fun folks and take pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndamico Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I know they got snow so it just depends on how warm it gets until then. We got snow at our cabin yesterday (5200 ft) but only a couple inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 A few inches will likely melt mostly away by next weekend...a couple feet maybe not! I know the trail is a little higher than 5200' but I don't know how things actually look up there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndamico Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 here's a webcam at bear valley, which is higher than lake alpine: http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/cwread/1/show.html you can see there was no snow before this last storm as they show history as well.

DHappel Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Looks like 6" or less on their camera. I'm sure there will be some snow hanging around in shaded areas but I don't see anything that scares me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi Don, Who is coming on this trip so far? When do you guys plan to leave on Friday? I will know for sure mid next week if I will be able to make it. If i can't leave Friday, i might just meet you guys up there early Saturday.

ndamico Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I will be. I hope to have my sliders on by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'm in for sure. We'll probably leave mid-day Friday so we can make camp well before dark. No hard departure time. I'd like to get an early start on the trail Saturday morning just to avoid any possible bottle necks and to have time to help anybody who needs a little rock stacking to get through. I don't know if Jared will have any armor on RedRover yet, but I'm sure we can get him through. I think Chad is planning to come as well and his RRC is pretty stock so we'll need to work to get him through too. But it's a short trail and there aren't too many tough spots so if they're willing to try I'm willing to help. Or at least watch and point.

DHappel Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 We should probably try to get a firm head-count so we can plan travel/meeting points/etc. Who's in? Don & Michele, LR3Nick (& wife? daughter?), LR4 Nick, RRCJared & Erin, RRCAntonio, P38 Also a buddy of mine in a Jeep in the maybe category. I'll touch base with him again this week. Who else am I missing? I know Alyson had to back out. Anybody else coming next weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
