--------Saturday, November 26, 2016---(9am-5pm)--------
Saturday morning we will have a short class about picking lines on the trails, airing down for more traction, setting up and tuning CBs, recovery techniques and supplies. There will be mulitple experienced wheelers there to help answer any questions you may have. We will then divide into groups based on capabilities and have some fun. Class will start promptly at 9am so try to arrive early to be ready for the fun.

SMORR will still be charging regular park fees.
--$25 per driver and $5 per passenger. --

New to the Jeep world and have never been to SMORR but thought this would be a great place to start.  Myself and my girlfriend plan on attending.  Looking forward to this.

I am trying to decide whether to come on Friday or Saturday.  Can't come both days, got junk to do.  Friday would give me a good excuse to skip the mall with my wife and bring her, but Saturday seems like I could learn alot more.

Decisions decisions.

what kind of rig do you have?

Title: Re: Newbie Day and training day
Post by: HYRYSC on 11/22/16 - 11:16AM

96 cherokee.  I have done quite a bit to it this year with a 4.5 inch longarm, 33" tires, 4.88 gears, Detroit rear, Elocker front, with new 9.5 superwinch.  

I know my junk is capable of more than I could do with it.  Like I told my friends, just because I have a surfboard doesn't make me a surfer.  

Now I need to learn how to pick the right lines, not get in over my head etc.
