Caravan??

Did this get pushed back a week from it's usual weekend?

Anyone driving their Bronco down from the NJ / NE PA area? Looks like trailering is out for me this year so if possible, I'm looking to catch up with people for the ride down on Thursday.

 

[Fireball05]

I am south of Harrisburg, will be coming down 81 early Thursday morning, driving the EB.

With 3 wrenching weekends left, I figured it was about time to post vehicle requirements and suggestions.

Roundup vehicle requirements and a few other suggestions for the different trail levels.

Vehicle Requirements:

Mandatory equipment for Street Cruise:
Must be road worthy and street legal
Must have seatbelts for all passengers

Recommended for Street Cruise:
CB Radio
Fire Extinguisher (A,B,C type)
Basic first aid Kit
Trash Bag/container

Mandatory equipment for all Trail Levels:
Hardtop or Roll Bar
Seatbelts for all passengers
Solid Battery Hold Down (no bungee cords)
CB Radio
Fire Extinguisher (A,B,C type)

Other recommended equipment for all Trail Levels:
Basic first aid Kit
Trash Bag/container

Additional Requirements to run Blue and Black Level Trails
Tow Points either on the Front, Rear or Both ends
Good Tow strap - with no metal hooks
Tires: 33" min. for Blue, 35" min. recommended for Black
Locker or Limited Slip on one axle required for Blue, both axles for some Black

Additional Requirements for Red Level Trails
Tires: 36"+ min
Lockers required on both axles

Other Suggestions:
Carry some hand tools, Spare fluids and spare parts.
Carry a spare tire or a means of re-inflating your tires should you experience a flat.

If you do have a winch, check it's operation before the event. Be sure it is in good repair and equipped with RATED accessories, such as tree saver straps, shackles or D-rings, snatch block and quality leather gloves.

Do your vehicle maintenance and make sure everything is in good working order BEFORE you come to the Roundup! We do realize that things happen and that breakage does occur so if something does happen to your rig, rest assured, MEB has never left a member or guest stranded on the trail or street! And, if your vehicle is questionable or is having issues the morning of the ride, someone in the group will usually have an open seat for you to ride along with them.

While on the trail and while driving to and from the trail head, ALWAYS keep the vehicle behind you in sight! Especially at any intersection of trails or roads! Safety dictates that we keep our group together.

DO NOT LITTER! Keep in mind that we are one of the most scrutinized outdoor groups. Our actions may very well determine where we may or may not be able to ride in the future. Some of the places we ride are on private property. It is imperative that we respect the land owners by showing respect for their property and by leaving it as clean, or cleaner, than it was on our arrival. Cigarette butts, etc, are considered litter!

We may be heading down Wednesday evening from the Delware area.

In the past we often chose the weekend after Father's Day for the RU which conflicted with some other events that the participants like to go to. Since there was an extra weekend in June we chose to make it later. We don't move into July because of the July 4 holiday.

 

[tasker]

Any idea how many groups will hit the trails each day? Any days better than others for some easy stocker friendly trails, or perhaps for those of us who may cringe bashing up their new paint jobs?!

Thanks!

Green trails leave everyday. Saturday a street cruise goes out along with the green trails.

I think you just may have us Mainah's beat this year....

Oh, but you have to drive it...not trailer it.;D

I just got registered. I have a couple of questions that weren't in the FAQ.

Camping - Do we to prepay at the Cove Campground site or do we pay when we enter?

4 wheelin - I've got a brand new (2 week old) paint job, should I worry about it on the green trail?
If a CB Radio is mandatory on the green trail, any suggestions? I'm guessing handheld?

And lastly, what's everyone's favorite beer?

 

[Fireball05]

JCP - check out this thread that I just revived regarding CB radios. I've been doing a little research and there's some good info here. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209026


As an aside, have we seen photos of this 2 week old paint job?! Maybe I missed it? Or forget? Sorry we didn't get to say hello at Carlisle.

Pay for camping at the entrance of the cove, event is separate see us after taking care of the cove. Can't miss us left after the entrance at the big tent.

Don't stress the CB on the green trails, however if you don't want it scratched don't take it on the trails, we are in the woods stuff everywhere to scratch things.
