[Bastardchild]

I would love to officially add the wife and i to the list of people who are coming, but i just cant yet. We have both put in for getting off of work for the takeover weekend, but the wife hasnt reserved a motel room yet. Once she does that i will officially say we're going.

Hey i dont wanna go off topic, but all we do here in Florida is mud bog really. We're not gonna be used to this type of riding. I was planning on picking up some spare axles and stuff to bring along, and the wife has a 4500lb. winch on the front of her P7-4. I have a 30ft snatch rope on the back of my P5. Any recommendations for supplies or trail gear? Maybe this question already has a thread somewhere? Thanks for any info or directing me to the right link.

I think @jak9922 was there with his P5 too?

If you don’t have skid plates already they’re recommended. If you can round up a spare tire for each vehicle that would be good because there’s a chance that you could cut a sidewall. I will tell you that from the groups we’ve had the past couple years no one would leave you stuck without being able to ride. We always lend a hand and make sure every vehicle can get back on the trail and enjoy the time there.

We have welded a arms back on the vehicles, changed axles, tie rods, tires, a arms, etc. I don’t want that to scare you because there was only a few vehicles out of the 60 or 70 that were there that had those issues so the chances are you’ll be fine.

Good lord! Thank you for the info!

Again, don’t be too worried unless you want to join the crazy wackos in the extreme group. Those guys are nuts!

Don’t let @joeymt33 scare you it was a select few and they were taking the hard route over every obstacle.

A skid plate should def be on your list, UHMW will survive the best and it is rocky so a spare is just a good idea.

We want to be with the easy going group lol. I'd probably be scared to go over a rock the size of a bowling ball lol. I wanna make it back to camp in one piece

I will look into the UHMW stuff. We've just got the stock honda plastic skids.

A stock machine with good tires will make it through but a skid and a spare are probably top 2 things to acquire. There are plenty of trails from easy to extreme. Pick your poison and have fun.

You’ll be fine and surprised just how capable the machines are. Watch a few people in front of you on the same machines and it’ll give you confidence in the machine.

I have a stock 700 wheel with a 27" tire on it if you are needing a spare!

 

[Bastardchild]

Hahaha! Sounds good! I think we'll be in good hands it seems

 

[Bastardchild]

We've both got 30" Monster Mayhems, and i will bring a complete set of four 30" Mudlite xxl's on wheels for backup. We got stock skids.

I appreciate it, but im gonna bring a complete set of 30" mudlites. So if anybody else cuts a 30" they can use one of ours also.
