Re: Shoe Creek / Big Levels Run
ok folks, to get this off center i am suggesting the following:
meeting time and date:
10:00 am Saturday August 29, 2009
meeting location:
i-64 & zions crossroad exit, (#136) rt. 15, burger king/c-store/gas sattion on west (right) side of 15.
this location is east of the rides so either can be done at this point so post with your pick. at this point we have two for stony run. for those of you coming from south and west, we can select another rendezvous point once we know what trail we are doing.
this should put o us airing down at the trailhead by 11-12, and gettting off the trail 4-5 max. this will leave time to find and set up camp for those that are going to camp.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Never been trail riding before... I've heard about shoe creek, but don't know much about it.. 3" Body/3" Suspension on 33" TSLs and a rear e-locker should be good, right?

Re: Shoe Creek / Big Levels Run
So are you guys planning on running Shoe Creek after Big Levels/SR? If so I would like to meet up and join the convoy!

Re: Shoe Creek / Big Levels Run
I run Shoe Creek with my STOCK jeep cherocar a lot. You should have no problems with the trail itself. The obstacles are fun, there may be a few you could have to take your time with if you wanted to play!

That's what its all about! I'm just thinking maybe you guys can meet up with me/a few of us *maybe 3 * and we can join on the second day of wheeling if you all decide to go that route!

Re: Shoe Creek / Big Levels Run
would most of it be passable with 32 all-terrains with about 1/4 tread? and how deep are the water crossings? i've flooded two trannys and i'm not tryna do that again. not fun. definitely considering goin for the weekend though.

Re: Shoe Creek / Big Levels Run
look back a couple of posts and you will see where unclemeat provided a link to some photos, and you can see the water depth from our last run. i would estimate that the water level to be mid hub and maybe a little more on a set of 33's. The ranger that you see in the picture is sporting 32 ish size all terrains and my explorer was sporting 31 x 10.50 at the time neither had a lift at the time. Your tire size will be fine for these two runs.

Re: Shoe Creek / Big Levels Run
right now my plans are kind of up in the air... I know I know I started the thread. I expected my lift to ship sooner than it did, fucking week delay. I was going to install this weekend, but I won't get it to Monday. Depending upon when I can get it on will determine my next weekend. I may just have to come up Sunday if you guys do a camping trip. We shall see. Still want to go, just want to get my lift on as well. Want the jeep ready for Big Dogs in Sept.
Edit: Shawn, if my wife doesn't go you can ride shotgun with me if you want and I do make it.
