Hey all,
Whats up? Im 18 and live in Citrus Heights, Cali. Im really interested in wheelin the con, but dont really have alot of experience in hardcore trails like that. I've been camping in the Sierra's since I was really young, so have done the usual trail runs around Gerle Creek, Meadow Lake, Ice House and all the surrounding campground areas.
I've read alot about it, and it sounds like a blast, and I know everyone up there are great people. My concern is holding people up. I've read alot of people complaining about it, and I dont want to be the one everyone is pissed at.
My questions....
1. What does my rig need to do somewhat okay? Current ride is a 73 Dodge W100, 318/727/205, 3/4 D44 and D60 axles with 4.10's and Posi's, along with Hummer 36" and the military beadlocks. Anything else I need? Ive been told a locker in the back would defenitely help.
2. Any other trails around that arent just an old logging trail that you can do 30 mph on? Something maybe, a little more rocky, but not quite as hard as the con is?
All in all, I am looking for advice, and gaining experience, but dont want to hold everyone else up. Im afraid, Ill go up there and be the one everyone is pissed at, which wouldnt be enjoyable for me, or anyone else up there.
All opinions/suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated!
THANKS GUYS!
Kyle
