I will also unlurk myself and bring the wife and kids but that means two Jeeps, one for Mom and Dad and one for the kids to drive.
How long time wise will it be?

Anyone with an extra seat up for a ride along?
See this is as as good of a time as any to stop lurking, but if someone that has run these trails before is scared about width with an F-series, then I'm going to watch him run it first and see how clean everything comes out

Don't let my weak sauce talk discourage you. You could find a spare seat, I'm sure, but I'd bring what you've got. You'll have more fun and I'm just a wuss about my rig

Hard to say, depends on us and our rigs, but it's not a really long trail IMO.

So am I
My last truck I didn't care about body damage. This one I do.
However, my primary reservation is that I don't have any front recovery points and have a land anchor of a receiver hitch. I'd rather ride along until I have the truck what i'd consider wheelable, which involves front recovery points and lifting the rear end 2-3" to level it out.
I know how much i hated it when I'd go wheeling in my last truck and have people tag along and get stuck where they "shouldn't have" - just threw off the whole day

Okay, I'll let it be.
I'm also without front recovery point, but will probably remove the bumper for the trip. I'm still sporting a reciever hitch too. No skid plates. The real difference is that I gave into peer pressure and you've got more resolve.

Anyone want to meet a little earlier (say 9am at Tibble) and rescue a rig, then run Forest Lake with the Summit Crew at 11am??

I might be able to but all I've got is a tacoma and some straps. Let me know if I'm needed.

10-4, even just some extra hands and straps might really come in handy. I'll have my winch equipped rig. I would like 3 total... and mabey 3-4 hands to help. I have not seen the truck, the ranger believes it is recoverable. They want it out ASAP as it is starting to get vandalized (someone broke out a window or two). Keep on an eye on the other thread for updated info!
I'll be there at 9am Kurt.

Well, talk about enough to piss me the hell off.
I'd decided to just go for it and show up, hit the trail and have a good time. Walked out to my truck to leave and had a fricking flat tire
Took it to get it plugged and had to wait an hour for the shop to do it (i only use rubber band plugs in an emergency).
By this time I was back on the road it was already noon, so I said forget it sicne it would be half an hour to get there and all :-\
Decided since I had nothing else going I'd level the truck like I was planning on. I was amazed at how smoothly it went. Got the tail up in 3 hours with no air or torch, everything just came right apart.
So, how'd the run go?

Fun as usual
Here we are after thinking that we were late for the party (the second recovery didn't start until 11am) since we got to the Forest Lake trailhead at 12noon (don't know who those other guys were).
We weren't late, as evidenced by this picture
After everyone went home to do whatever, we went down to the start of Mineral Basin, found a fire spot next to the creek, had some hotdogs and enjoyed the scenery while having some first class bsing.

That looks awesome... How was the trail? is it a 4-lo low gear trail?
occasional obstacles or a few scatter obstacles?
I had radio trouble and didn't get on the road until 11:00 (ogden) so I ended up picking up my Nephew and we did a trail up in Rush Valley, Johnson Lane all the way to the Springs. Pretty fun, but not technical.
