Any body wanna plan a weekend in February? When would be good for some folks? If anyone has any days they are free and wanna go let's plan a trip.
I signed up for one of the Adventure Park guided tours on
Feb 22nd through Jones Jeeps / Hill Country Crawlers if that's as good a date as any in Feb. I've been out out there one time before and we did a bunch of the 1-3 trails but my wife wants us to take it slow and get some "official" lessons before I get too confident and start trying to do 5s and 6s :rock:
So I imagine what we'll be doing is easy/intermediate stuff if anyone is down. It's $50 to register and that doesn't include the park fees.
Side question - What do yall who live near Austin do for your actual buy and build process? All those Cali folks just roll up to EVO and get all their stuff done there by the guys who make the damn things, but here in Austin all I've seen is Just Jeeps, 4-Wheel Parts, and Jones Jeeps in Marble Falls. Who do yall use for labor when you need to?
I plan on doing a lot of the simple bolt on stuff myself (sliders, bumper, etc) but I really wouldn't trust myself with things like Locker upgrades (esp if I go Air) and I don't have the welding tools etc for the serious suff - so what do yall do?
Also - I have my shopping list spread out between Amazon, Northridge (since they are a site sponsor, 10% discount, etc). Do yall try to buy local first before going internet? Are there just certain things you shouldn't trust to delivery? I'm ready to spend some cash building the beast but I want to do it wisely!
