Recommended Posts

I am planning a weekend wheelin & camping trip to Badlands in Attica, Indiana. Any rig from stock to modified, beginner to experienced is welcome. Weekend of July 15th, 16th & 17th. (some of us are arriving on the Friday)

We need to get more Pathy's out on the trails out here! I can accommodate long distance travellers. Badlands is 3 hrs from my house. (I am in eastern Indiana near the Ohio border)

If you want to go but don't want to wheel your rig, no problem! ride with one of us!

if you want more info, please send me a message here on the forums, or email me at pathy4x4@yahoo.com :bounce:

this is the campground a short distance from Badlands we'll be staying at

Summers Campground

Depending on my employment status over the coming weeks, I'm not sure I'll be able to attend :(

 

$100 each way just for gas puts a little bit of a damper on it!

 

only time (and lowes hiring staff) can tell..

100 each way, pffft. I'm looking at closer too 200 and I may make it. *fingures crossed and all that BS*

like sal said... ride together ;) trying to get some of the west coast guys to do it too

You're assuming my truck can make 14 hours of travel + wheeling without having atleast 5 catastrophic failures ;)

 

 

Yep, it is a 100k pathfinder... its good for another million at least before you need replace the tire rods

Hi Slick,

 

I'm interested, but I can't confirm my attendance until sometime mid June.

 

What kind of trail will you guys be hitting? Anything for my stock R50? Any deep water crossing or are there bypasses? And I assume wheeling will happen on Friday and Saturday, then pack up on Sunday?

 

I'm coming from Rochester Hills, MI. Looks like its gonna be six hours drive for me. Pathy got a 2" lift with front skid plate. Hope to get 255/85/16 KM2 and mid skid plate by then. Will I be the only one with the R50?

you'll be FINE :) we have stock to modified rigs coming, and will accommodate everyone with the trails we run. it's all about having fun and staying in 1 piece. Ryan, myself and Jason (Phantom01Pathfinder,coming from Michigan) will be going up Friday afternoon to set up camp and chill. we'll be wheeling Saturday & Sunday for whoever wants to stay. I will be wheeling both days and will leave Sunday afternoon. If we all get up there early enough Friday, maybe we'll make a run??

maybe consider rollin down with Jason? i don't know how far apart you guys are, but mebbe shoot him a Pm and see what's up? or I can call him.

 

 

do you know, i STILL have you on my yahoo messenger from, oh, 3 or 4 years back?? lol

Huh? You sure its me and not someone else? Lol...

 

Anyway, if I can make it to this event for sure, I'll PM both Jason and OldSlowReliable for possible convoy from Michigan. I definitely like the idea of staying in one piece, hahaha...

 

Thanks for organizing!!! :aok: :aok: :aok:

Acutally I live in northwest Indiana (Chesterton) but I am only about 30min from Indiana/Michigan border and Indiana/Illnois border too. I wont be able to make it Friday because of work, but I will arrive early Saturday morning. If anybody wants to meet up early Saturday to head down, Ive got no problem with that :)

Tomorrow i am putting my new front skid on and eventually replacing both front CV's. I have an issue with boots always tearing...

 

And an oil change is in the future along with a transmission drain and fill. Oh an get a new tow strap and some D-ring shackles...
