I’ll be there. I just need to figure out my front tow point. I hit it on a rock today. The leverage pulled the bolts right out of the frame. Half of the radiator skid dropped at the same time. I ram the bolts back up into the frame without the tow hook. The fix could be as easy as longer bolts. As a last resort I’ll drill and tap the frame for larger bolts.

I and quite a few others have torn those bolts out. We've just drilled the frame fu thru and use 1/2 x 6 grade 8 bolts. Many winch pulls/recoveries later, they're holding up great. One day, I'll sleeve the frame maybe.

I see that it is. The 600 yards I saw before I exploded my rear seemed like a nice place.

I believe that was the caption for my Instagram post that day. Lol

It was not at the Sawmill. I met a couple of forum members at Brookridge yesterday. We ran the the majority of the blues.

I needed to drill and tap the frame on the Frontier when I put the front tow hitch on it. Whatever I used stood up to a good amount of weight. I either used 5/8 bolts, or half inch bolts with a 5/8 head. I can’t remember which. I’ve got the tap around somewhere.

Looking forward the Brookridge run before the snow starts flying. Will be removing my front bumper corners to avoid tire rub. The suspension will get a good workout here.

Are there greens here, or just blues and up?

I consider them blues & up. There is a greenish trail but it’ll be a very short day if doing just that.

Well, I’m ready to rip. New extended lines installed today. I may break my truck, but at least my brake lines will look nice.

I don't think it matters, but I wanted to give an update that I'm bringing my dad and my brother.

I think you saw what me and my rig can (and can't) do at 508 so I'm interested in your opinion of whether I can do Brookridge. It makes me a bit nervous. I'm not sure I have the clearance for the ruts. I don't want to go if I'm just going to be dragging through on the winch. That's no fun for anyone. But if there are sufficient bypasses or you think my fears are unfounded, I'm up for a challenge. Looking for an honest opinion. Suresh? John?
