he said it was a 2013 so it might have new tires.
7. Most importantly make it fun and relaxing. One of the big mistakes I made when I started my club was getting guys in over their heads. It is the worst thing you can do as instead of having a good relaxing time like wheeling should be they are stressed. They are stressed about damaging their rigs, they are worried about hurting themselves and or their passengers, and often enough the thing bothering them the most is that they are holding you back. You'll find that these guys are going to be scared to death that they aren't doing well enough and being resented for it. I know it is odd and definitely not how you are going to feel, but I promise you it is going to be a major concern for them.
My experience with spotting is that a lot (not all) of people fit into one of two groups. One group intuitively spots well and the other is hopelessly clueless.
I think the key to being a great spotter is understanding the skill level of the driver, the capability of the rig, and having a full understanding of what the driver finds acceptable for their rig (i.e. damage). I always spot from a perspective of keeping the rig clean and minimizing stress on the drivetrain as much as possible. I don't enjoy spotting for someone that's thinks nothing of body damage. I always look for the person that drives the most like me and try to get them to spot for me.
If y is a rubicon it will be set with lockers front and rear and 4:1 t case. My friend did fordyce with one with a leveling kit and 35s but otherwise stock
The clueless spotter is also the clueless driver, they are easy to spot, they all drive raisins. Would also add that the driver needs to be willing to understand that once he asks for a spotter, he is no longer in control of his rig, the spotter is, nothing worse than a driver who second guesses his spotter.
#5So, I finally got pictures. Truck and tires.RockcrawlingJK and I have named it White night since Jim is not a forum member.New tires in the works.Need suggestions for tires please. All-terrains
I'll be riding shotgun with Blackdiamond.
That sounds like a good seat to be in
There's a chance riding shotgun may require a little driving depending how involved I get with spotting and how difficult the trails are.
http://file.dnr.wa.gov/publications/amp_rec_walkervalley_trail_map_20150403.pdfLink to the Washington DNR map of Walker valley Orv area. Easy Trails In my opinion that are appropriate for our beginners are Timber Tamer, EZ valley connecter, Humps and bumps, and Ridge ram.
I would like to meet at the IHOP in Mt. Vernon it is close to the trails, right off the freeway, and large parking lot to accommodate trailers and big black trucks. Not sure on the time yet but it will be an early start. I will figure out time and post here. Maybe when they open?
Hey John, This is the Biggest obstickle we will need to get the stock vehicles around. (in My opinion) Tell Me What you think. There are tons of videos on YouTube if you search Walker Valley gate. Also Jk can you tell me how much lift the 4doors have and tire size. I understand its a video but your My go to JK guy.//www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8gdsSuZwJA
