Hey all,
jsut a little curious as I plan on attending this weekend for the forest service tree patrol but am a little concerned as to wich rig to take. I have a 92 80 series with ome and 33"ers (those of you at walker work party saw it) and I woud rather drive it but am a little concerene about having someone who can pull me out if I get stuck. curious as to what size of rigs will be there jsut to be safe. if I am still scared can take the DD wich is a 87 mini truck on 31"ers but not as fun to drive as the 80
thanks in advance.

I am not far from Sedro, what is a Forest Service Tree Run exactly?

[Havok]

Tigger90YJ, I'll sum up a day for ya.. we start off by meeting at the forest service station and sign it. then head out with maps of the roads that the public [people with tree cutting tickets] will use to find a tree. We just run the snow covered roads and look for stuck Mini vans/suv's and help them out. And we get to play in the snow while providing a service. it's alot of fun. last year we didn't have snow till later in the year but this year looks good.:bounce2:

[Tigger90YJ]

Sounds like alot of fun, I don't have a winch but I do have a snatch strap. What are the requirements to do this?

[bare 1]

What time to meet in Wooly?

[a1leyez0nm3]

i can probably do it.. when do we meet

[Havok]

Tigger, it depends on the snow and your judgement, what do ya got for wheelin mod's? I would like to see every one inside the building at 9.on sat and sun.

[a1leyez0nm3]

i have a 93 ranger with 30" mudders... :D i have come along and strap...?

Vehicles must be street legal. ORV tags are not good enough, I found this out a couple years ago.

I am used to driving in snow from growing up in MI and I have good driver judgement on and off road. I don't think I would be there this weekend I am working Saturday but next weekend I could be there (5/6 Dec) if not working.

I have a 90 YJ, 2000 4.0 & NV3550, NP231 w/SYE, D30/8.8 4.10's, open front traclok back, 2.5" Lift 32" M/T tires and should be TJ Flares by then. Next mod is a winch!

Havok are you the white yota pickup I met at walker work party ? I got the brown jeep Can.t make it till 12/13 Prior engage ments :sad: hope to see you then to play in the snow:bounce2:

[wa4x4boy]

anyone need a ride along, i want to help but the trucks a little too light for snow, and its my first season driving it in the snow (had a car last year). I think ive talked my teachers into giving me community service credit for doing somthing like this. Maybe I could follow somone elses truck, and give a hand when needed...

I'll see, I just got way too busy, with everything going on.

[Havok]

well saturday was a good time but our group was a bit small. Rain Country had a large group and ran the Finney pass area. We ran up the 1120rd and 1125 rd till we could go no further. the snow was deep and heavy. I was pushing it over my axle in my toy with 37's. Maybe I will catch some of you again on this sunday.

[phaedrus]

The rain country group had a pretty good run as well. Hope to get my Center diff lock straightened out prior to next weekend and might be able to go again and maybe run with you next time havok. BTW blue is better.
Dave

[Havok]

Awe thanks Dave. It's not so hard to miss-place it any more.:bounce2:

Sounds like alot of fun, I can't wait to get out there with you guys.

[Havok]

I have another engagement on saturday but will be at the forest service building at 9 o-clock on sunday ready for more fun. I hope to see more folks there.

[Kimmy]

We will be going out both days, does Kris have the radio or do you Neil?

[Havok]

Kris has the Radio Kim. I ran the 1120 rd to the end today with my bro ,in the rain, and then ran up a spur and laid tracks past a snowmobile. it was a fun couple of hours.:D

[Kimmy]

[Kimmy]

we spent part of the day (mostly on the corners) on a strap or shovel in hand (time for some non-street tires for Terry's dd)

[bare 1]

Nice pics! I'm up for Sat. I should have my dash back together by then. Looks like a good test for my new"high performance " heater motor. I'd appreciate knowing who to meet. I have no clue of the area but I think i can find the ranger station. It's a long way from central Whidbey to find I got the wrong day Thanks

[Kimmy]

The USFS office is at 810 Hwy 20 in Sedro, just stay on 20 on/off the island, head East through Burlington to Sedro, go through town and its just before the last light at the Hwy 9/Township St intersection. Across from Rallye Auto sales and next to the AM/PM on the North (left) side of the road. (by 9:00 am)

[bare 1]

Thanks Kimmy See ya Sat Good Lord willin

My daughters Sarah (2½) and Rebekka (6½). They love the snow. Rebekka reminds me of that kid off of "the christmas story" when all bundled up, he couldnt move:redneck:
