This might have been the best attended workday I have ever experienced at URE. Thanks to all those who showed up to represent our sport! We even had vehicles representing Low Country 4x4 from Charlestown, SC as well as a club from Mobile, AL. A rough head count at the peak of the workday showed 68 people and I'm sure I missed a few. We installed guardrails, the same as you see on the interstates, up the right side of Kodak Rock and collected many bags of trash from the entire Kodak area. These guardrails were installed well to the right of the current bypass and are intended keep traffic out of the woods, not restrict trail access. Definately heavier duty than the split rail fencing I've helped install before :) Hopefully these will work as intended and last longer than the fencing. At least, as I heard one worker mention, "they won't be tearing these down to take back to camp for firewood" :) This was also the CK5 weekend and there were a lot of well built fullsize rigs on the trails as well so URE was hopping. The weather was perfect and trail conditions A1. You missed out on a great day on the trail if you weren't there today! Hope to see you next time :)
 
It was a great day with plenty of good people who got a lot of work done very quickly and safely. Those steel posts were definitely the most weight I have ever had in the trailer while dragging it over the trails, which made that part extra fun.:driver:

Thank you to the organizers for putting this together and helping to keep those trails open for all of us... even the stoopid ones who were trying to go around in the woods while we were working! Watching them run into the ranger and have to turn around... now THAT was funny:beer:

we spoke with yall at the outpost saturday night, you took some measurements off of my buddy's truck

you find a welder to get that shaft put back together?

really liked your rig, aaron(the blue yota) is in the planning stages of starting an SAS on the blue truck, i showed him your chevys in the rear and how easy it was, i think he got some good ideas off your truck, what front springs do you run?

Yeah..We found a length of two inch iron fence post that appeared to have about a sced 40 thickness in wall so we cut the yokes off of the pretzeled shaft and welded them on to the iron post. The whole crazy part is that the guy who loaned us his stick welder for the shaft happened to have a extra yota shaft in his shop and sold me that one for 30 bucks so I wound up with two!!! lol

My front leaves are a combo of follows.. 4 inch procomp rear YJ lift spring main: 2.5 inch procomp rear YJ lift spring secondary under the 4 inch main, Stock J10 front spring secondary underneath procomp 2.5 inch secondary.. So far it's worked out for being a good balance between minimal axle wrap while still allowing decent droop/compression...
