Clayton Christmas Carnage 08 (Rooms and Rides Thread)

[8Runner]

I will have plenty of room as well in the sclade. Planning on leaving Thursday afternoon/early evening.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I think the list is updated again.

Scotti, I was able to talk my brother Eric into bringing Brady up. We were able to talk mom into letting him get out of school early after he gets counted present for the day. When I told her how windy the roads were and how late they would get there if they didn't leave till 4, she didn't have a problem with it.

Clarke, are you are just planning on riding on the trail? Or did you need a ride up there? Seth, I still think you should take the Ford, but shotgun in the F150 should be availible.

[RCcola55]

just the trail

Why are you so concerned with the weather? Last year we got snowed, sleeted, and rained on. Suprise, it's a wheeling trip in the middle of December.

fixed it.

And that link only shows the averages, not what they are actually expecting this year.

Stick to the reptiles snakeboy and leave the weather to the MEEN's.

I'm thinking about towing my TJ up there, for the sake of any problems I could possibly run into, I wouldn't be stuck there. Or be holding anyone back.

I have a basic little flat trailor available, and an expedition with the 5.4L and the tow package I could borrow from my mom. Would it be worth the security, or should I just drive the Jeep as is up there?

[85cj7]

Save the gas and drive it. You have a top and heater it won't be that bad.

[8Runner]

My vote is tow it. It's always good to have a few extra vehicles that don't absolutely HAVE to be towed back. I had to rent a uhaul to get my 4runner back from Clayton one year.



I am pretty sure the Expedition could handle towing a melted H3, which might be necessary.

If you have it all easily available, I would tow it. That being said "Real Rigs Drive Home"
If you tow it, you will be more likely to break it... and have more fun in the process...

[AggieTJ2007]

Towing is safer, but driving home is more fun. I did it the first two times I went to Clayton.

Actually I only bought a trailer a year ago

[Reckless]

05 was fun riding back with creighton. Nothing like making a bunch of drivers ed students nervous on the highway

[Comet]

Ya there is nothing like going on my first big wheeling trip with the 8runner (00 or 01?)(RIP) and having to rent a Uhaul truck and a Uhaul CAR hauler then airing down the tires as low as they will go to strap the front of the vehicle to the hauler to make it back to CS. I was sorry to see the 8runner pull into the driveway of the A&A that fateful night but do love the purchase we were able to make with the insurance money

[Doug Krebs]

I'm going to expect to wheel the crap out of the truck, so if at all possible, please try and save room for me to get towed home.

Thanks

You realize that is a fairly big request right?

Sweet, I just deleted an entire paragraph before posting it.
