2013 FingerLakes 4x4 101 EVENT JUNE 8 2013

[AWL4928]

There educational part of the event in the morning as well as food will be under cover.   The rest of the days wheeling will be in your vehicle unless you choose to get out and chat.

[Havoc]

Any gear needed?  Pretty much stock and haven't been off-road yet.

[AWL4928]

Front and rear tow points and a spare tire are what we require for this event in addition to seatbelts that function. If you have a cb, recovery strap, extra parts, fire extinguisher, etc. that's gravy.   We will have lots of rigs with equipment and skills to fix most anything.

[Havoc]

OK.  I'm lacking the gravy but got the minimums.  With all this rain I'm liable to get stuck in the mud

No worries,  it will be a good day.
I'm leading a convoy for anyone interested, leaving from the Barnes and noble in pittsford plaza. 
I'll be there 8am and leave the parkinglot 8:10ish.
Message me if you have a question or want to join
I have a black cj7

[AllTheWay]

We have a convoy coming from Lockport. 6:30 7:00 depart with a stop in Pembroke (7:30-7:45) to pick up some passengers. People are welcome to join in. If you have a GMRS/FRS radio we can monitor a channel.

I think I better run power to the rear of the truck tonight so I can use the winch back there too.

My engo is ready for some serious abuse.   She may end up getting repacked with grease tonight depending on the weather.

Well scratch that idea, I don't have the plugs and I can't find them localy

Hey folks. As you can tell, I've not done much off road or more than basic car stuff before. That said I need to know if any of the old school folks bring tools will have the tool to take a rounded lug off.

Short version: decided to be the 33x12.5 on because of the rain and discovered one lug that was smaller. Didn't notice in time and managed to round it off. Already have the replacement lug. Also have the 3 other tires swapped.

I'll try to hit my mechanic first thing, but am hoping that someone can bail me out if he isn't available.

Hey Folks!

Just wanted to thank you all for the great day. Everyone here is ready to go again. Hopefully Mark wont need to extract us three times in a row again (Thanks Mark!).

Looking forward to seeing you all again.

[Wingman]

It's all part of the fun!  Always great to see smiling faces on those new and seasoned!  This "sport" is addictive!  Glad you could be with us today!
