I went on a run yesterday with my western mass 4x4 club and it was a great time the trail blazer did great. I wanted to set up another run for there with guys from the TB family and the xterra family. The date will be Sept. 24th. it is a lil bit of a rough trail i had some rock rash on the wheels.
You will need a minimum of 32s to participate on this run. I'd recommend 33s
Everyone in the vehicle must have there own seat belt
Front and Rear tow points for all participating vehicles
A 20’ min. tow strap capably of pulling your rig (ratchet straps of any kind DO NOT COUNT)
Full size spare tire or close too (33†spare for 35s, 31†spare for 33s, you get the point)
A jack capably of safely lifting your rig
I will post a couple pictures later of what it is like.
Any questions pm me. The date may change depending on participation.
Planning Northampton MA. Sept. 24

Gotta check my schedule, see if I got any other plans, otherwise I'd be down. Annoyed I wasn't able to make it there this past weekend, but trying to find a place to live for Sept. 1st was stressing me out.
Also I'm going to Fall Crawl, so just gotta make sure my rig is in good running condition after that, which is two weeks prior.
