Cliffs Run?

[JohnnyU]

Good point---you know John, had you bought a Duramax, you'd get much better mileage and be able to afford to haul your rig the long haul!

Oh, ouch.


It's more the fact that I don't care to exert the effort into it anymore. I need to get somethings figured out, but give me 6-8 months and I'll be willing to drive anywhere.

I was thinking of Hot Springs, early spring/late fall 2008 or 2009.

Thanks for the invite curl, maybe over the summer, but if i make the 8 hr drive, i'm stayin for more than a night!

I am still planning on badlands, and it looks like two of the guys from ohio are for sure, and i posted on the mijc website and responded to a post on pirate.

Mich are you still wanting to join us?

im in the process or trying to fix my trans leak. I wanted to get my suspension lift on before I go out again. I got a small list of stuff I wanted to do before I go back out. Stock ride height with 31" tires can only get you so far.

where are the clifffs? and could i have a decent time with my truck on stock height with 31's? if i can and it aint to far id consider it.

 

[michowski]

cliffs are in marseilles, IL. Its past joliet down the I80. I got 31's and stock height and it wasnt horrible for me but if I had a lift it would have been a lot more fun. Its so rutted up from people with like 38" tires and huge lifts its really hard to get anywere with a stock height vehicle. It can be done but plan on getting stuck a lot.

I'd say you can still have fun with 31's, just as long as you have a L/S or locker in the back. I've seen several rigs with 31's running through there without too many problems, and I've ran 31's down there. Just takes a little more go-pedal action.

Don't go there and not expect any body damage, cause it will happen.

 

[michowski]

Ive been down there and ive gotten body damage. Not the best place for a stock truck. Ya you can make it through there but after doing it once I wont do it again. Plus a lot of the ruts from people with bigger rigs will get you stuck on a flat road lol. Not exactly fun. Its possible to have fun with 31's and stock vehicle but then your limited to one area going throug the same stuff all day.

 

[dabomb5756]

About two more weeks, anyone make any concrete plans?

 

[bradz71]

I've gotta go to Pittsburgh to see my brother Thanksgiving weekend, other than that, I plan on having my BII done soon.

Does the Cliffs close down anytime in the Winter months?

 

[michowski]

I wont make it. To much to do to the truck and work and more stuff lol. Ive got a lot of parts just need some time to get it together and spend some more money to finish everything off.

 

[dabomb5756]

I'm still going to badlands tomorrow if anyone is interested. I havent packed or loaded anything yet, so i will prolly be leaving around 10 or 11 am and getting there around 2 or 3 (1 hr time gain). I will be staying untill sunday night after park close.

 

[bradz71]

I'm not going to make a run until New Years now.


We had a tractor fire last Sunday (three months to the day my dad passed away) and it has put us without a tractor and a week behind in fieldwork.

Haven't had the best of luck this year
