Can't wait. First true off-road park and first Suzuki event. Spent all year getting parts to get the rig ready for this trip.  This is my vacation before my fall semster starts. 

Oh, do we still have to register before July 15 to get the discount?

The registration will be pushed back as we are having some issues with getting it set-up.  But if all goes well it so be up in a few days.

Yea.  But Ill be able to go full stuff while flexing and not rub with the 2" lift.  Sometimes the rub on the fenderwell and bumpers worries me.  Plus all I need to do is buy cheapy shocks and install the springs I have sitting here.  Nothing too complicated, just its too hot to work outside ATM..   ;D

George, I'm not sure yet if I am going to make it this time around, but my son has an interesting question:

He recently got a quad of his own to ride and he wanted to know if he could bring it to ride with the group. It IS a Suzuki quad, so at least it has that going for it. I looked over Paragon's rules and regulations and all it says is that atv's/dirtbikes must ride in pairs at least and 4x4/suv's must travel in groups of at least 3 rigs. It doesn't say anything about whether or not it's cool to mix atv's with suv's... I know they don't want the suv's on the quad trails, but they shouldn't have a problem with an atv riding on the suv trails...

What's your take on this?

I'm cool with the quad we had someone do that two years ago with the stock group.  The only issue was that at times he was holding up the group.  Now that being said his son was around 8 I guess and was having a hard time. Ridding a quad on the tails we do is do-able but I don't think it as much fun for them.

Well, he's 14 and it's a 160 quad. He does really well with it on trail rides around here with us. Our group usually consists of a Tracker, a Samurai, a CJ5(all running on at least 31's) and a couple of quads or dirt bikes. Our rides would be considered intermediate at least compared to what I drove through in the stock group last year, so I have no doubt he could keep up well. My main concern was if Paragon would allow him in with our group without another quad or bike to pair with him...

Of course the other logistical problem we would face would be getting both my Tracker and his quad there, while still towing them behind my ZJ so that Ms Digger has it to keep her busy while we're trail riding... I have a dolly and a 4x6 utility trailer, but not the right license for towing triples, and the quad doesn't fit into either the ZJ or the Tracker... LOL!
