    Hi Erik. I'm near Walmart (Carson & Paramount). I'm heading up to Big Bear this weekend with a buddy and his Toyota. We're going to run Rattlesnake Canyon for the 1st time and run some others around the BB area. I'll post an invite on the board for anyone who can't make it to Calico. I look forward to meeting & wheelin' with you sometime soon.

    Thanks, Nailer341!
    We'll be on the lookout for other early arrivals. If none are found, 03Jeepster suggested camping by the tunnels. We'll park there until you guys arrive and scope out the area for camping options.

    ....the BII should do Ok on the trails I'm not too sure about the entrance to Doran - we'll have to check it out first

    Hey folks!! I'm brand new to your board - visiting from Rockcrawler.com. I noticed that there are members from several off-roading sites planning on doing some 'wheeling at Calico this weekend. My wife and I are planning on being there also, hoping to join a group to run some of the trails (not wanting to do these trails alone). Do you think everyone is going to band together in one large group? Just curious - we're going to be out there Friday AM with the RV and the un-Jeep (a Bronco II - the Jeep's not quite ready for the trails yet ) and didn't want to barge in on a private party.

    See you there!!

    ahhh ok.. i was wondering how they were able to keep it on the lift for so long...
    by the way, i checked the pattern on the ring gear, and it is a thing of beauty it covers most of the tooth... it must be the way the locker works that is allowing the backlash to seem too much.

    Always something.

    first agr steering gear was bad, had to send another one.

    headers were sent missing parts and a used return from someone else.

    track bar from rubicon was incorrectly made
    they sent another one after forgetting to send it for a week and I had to call them again about it.

    first locker was on backorder for 3 months, finaly had to change the order.

    control arm bracket ordered held up while they made them up.

    the list goes on
    WOW! you have really hgad a run of bad jeep ordreing experiences
    i hope it all comes together for you
