Awesome - I may hit you up once I get the kit in. I'll be doing the install on JBER at the DIY Auto Shop.

I'm new here as well. Only been camping once here so far in a so so location. The trails were just a little too hard core for me to take my jeep so we atv'd it. However we did see a couple jeeps back there.

I'm interested in the same stuff you are. Maybe we can get something organized in the near future.

When scoping out camp sites we came across a place near by called Eklutna lake. Its a very well groomed site, probably gets pretty well populated but seems like a good place for the family. Tons of hiking trails.

I'll post some pics tonight - there are some trail runs tomorrow. The sign up sheets are posted near the ticket booth - looks like a good opportunity for anyone looking for some new trails.

There are a ton of folks from Fbks that go down there. The majority of the guys that I wheel with are there right now. I would have went but unfortunately had Army and family obligations so I couldn't make it this year.

I didn't take my Jeep through the course - I will try to post pics of some of the other guys going through but would like to get their permission first. It was a great weekend i did some work on the Jeep today and went semi-naked.
