    Default Chinnamans before the snow flies



    So as most of you know I got a new Jeep.
    As well I have been working in Aspen most of the summer.

    So I would like to get down to BV and run Chinnamans.
    Looking like the 3rd weekend in October
    I could run it on a Sunday if we need to to sooner.

    I am open to dates.

    Putting this out there so we can have a good group

    I hear this a pretty challenging route, more than the ratings indicate! Sounds like a perfect Jeep run!

    The high end fairings are right.
    Not a good one for your ram.
    But it is a good time.

    My little TJ did just need a tug off a rock dam axle got hung up.

    I am interested in this...but a bit wary of possible body damage. I know Tom with his 2dr JK and 33s used his sliders a bit, and sound like Brandon's TJ with 33s(?) got hung up just a bit. Are lockers needed? My old cj with 33s often has the clearance of 35s due to the short wheelbase... If I had sliders or some body protection I'd be all in, but its not worth damaging decent 50 year old sheetmetal.

    My hang ups were on rocks under the body.
    Never hit my sliders.
    We did it with little issue.
    There was an open/open Cherokee with us on 31 and they made it no body damage.
    All about tire placement.
    Whale tail has a nice spot to get up that's not tough.
