Let me ask this, if you drive down (west) Hackett can you drive up (east) Predator or are all trails out & back?

I have wanted to run these trails for a long time but I am going to Indy with TJ and Alex. Make sure to take a lot of pictures and post a good trip report.
Have fun in Indy! I've got an iPhone 6 and it takes GREAT videos (and can screenshot pictures from videos that are awesome also). I cleared excess files so that I can take a bunch of videos tomorrow.
Anyone else with an iPhone thats going bring it and please take some videos when we are going over the rocks and stuff...... I'm happy to collect videos (via airdrop) and post up a bunch of youtube videos on my account.
I also just installed my CB, and antenna that Phillip so kindly gave to me! I'm looking forward to this tomorrow as I also have wanted to run these trails for a long time!

Good news everyone! I found that rattle on the back end of my Jeep! Bad news, my upper control arm was only held to the frame rail by a nut and half of the bolt...
I'll make a trip to the hardware store tonight. Should still be good to go as long as I can find the right size bolt.
I may have the bolt size also, I recently replaced my rear upper control arms and ended up re-using some of the bolts and have a few extras. Let me know if I should bring anything along! The cool thing is its just 2 bolts and nuts so a pretty easy fix!!!

I may take you up on that if I can't find the right size in grade 8, I figure Ace probably has one. Maybe stick one in your glove box just in case
It's a 10mm bolt about 80mm long with a 2/3 length shank?
Which control arm is it and frame or axle mount?

Rear passenger upper control arm, frame side. I have a rubicon express lift so IDK if it uses the standard bolts. Going to check after work.
I have a couple bolts in the Jeep just in case you need them! It's the same bolt I used for the same location on mine so definitely should work if you need it. See you tomorrow
