    Salt Lake City, Utah Meet and More

    I think everyone who piped up wants to do a trail. We still need to come up with one. I have something in mind that I have wanted to do for a while. Read this: http://www.4x4now.com/trutaf2.htm

    We would need to meet up in the morning and then head South on I-15 for about half an hour. After that, we get to explore until we run out of daylight. ...Or... We can turn it into a camping/wheeling/hiking/fishing trip! Let's discuss...

    I'm still trying to secure a full size spare too... so if anyone knows of a 33" spare for sale let me know... I've been watching KSL, almost bought a complete set of Tacoma wheels and tires for $300!! with BFG AT K/Os But they were in Springville... I live in Ogden... that would have been a ~$50 commute, and I didn't know when I could do it

    Should have just bought them and worried about it later.

    Let me know if anyone sees anything...

    And remember, I'm a complete novice/beginner so a patient spotter will be necessary

    My brother will be going too, he has an H3 with 33s on it. Also a beginner.

    I joined Rocky Mountain Extreme (.com) and there are a ton of trail's marked using Google earth through out the state... and a ton of people willing to wheel, and run trails, I plan to tag along with them on a few rides over the next couple months too.

    Fun Fun!

    Try calling around to local salvage yards to find a 16" wheel from a 6 lug Isuzu, Toyota, Nissan, Honda Passport...you get the idea.
    If you bring a jack & lug wrench, you can probably try it on before you buy, to make sure it clears the center hub/caliper etc.

    Then start calling tire stores to find a used 285/75 x 16" tire.

    I was able to score a Passport alloy wheel for $25. & a used tire for $20.

    Richie,
    Give me a call I have an OEM set just gathering dust I need to get rid of. I think you can live with the price. I can bring them up to the college next week which is closer for you.

    On Topic

    Does anyone care if a few H3 club guys come? My brother is a member of the hummer forums, and He asked if anyone has ever been on the trails we're headed to. Now they're asking if they can come to.

    I think he said 2 or 3, which would make 3 or 4 including him... So we could be ~10ish

    I don't know the area, nor the trial etc. so I don't know how accommodating it is to many vehicles.

    I would like to camp out...

    As for H3s... I'm fine just having my Brother's H3 come. And only that. He's my +1 and we both need some good spotters and training, so we can start going on our own.
