I think this weather is PERFECT for Shiloh Ridge, personally! But im going ATVing at Chadwick (Mark Twain National Forest) in Missouri...SE of Springfield come Thanksgiving! So im pretty much open to whatever.
I will bring the WW to Shiloh Ridge if ya'll want to go there.
It's a blast!! (other good options include Red River Cycle trails 15miles N. of Muenster, TX or Lake Murray, OK just a few miles down the road from Rowland and not far from Ardmore Drags)
FYI....My schedule has changed officially...as of today. IM off on FS now instead of SS evenings. Gotta go back to work on Sunday afternoons now, by choice...instead of working thru Friday evening.

I'm still open to Shiloh... It's whatever.. My place will be good if there are projects to be done... You know concrete, heat, air, light, most tools, etc...
Lake murray is pretty tame, borning riding to me...
Red river can be fun, but is crawling with dirt bikes! Can only stand them so long and you are forced to camp all right next to each other (oh wait Shiloh camping is the same way!
) Camping at Rocky Ridge was much better (Almost got the Dodge and the goose stuck getting to my camping spot! Was great!)

Shiloh.......you have dreams of 2 strokes bikes buzzing in your head all night.....with a jeep or two.....

Brian, I agree with you about Lake Murray. It can be a little boring/tame for riding.
Red River doesn't have good camping room, but I don't remember seeing a lot of dirt bikes when I have been. Although they lack camping room, they do have GOBS of trails. I am just saying the dirt bikes never bothered me there.
Shiloh's downfall for me....is it is a much further drive.
If we boondock camp......we can get away from the crowds at Shiloh though.

Thought they only allowed camping in their little fenced off area? One of my quads has bad memories of Shiloh... Snapped axle and thrashed bearings... Brake rotor was the only thing keeping the wheel upright!

Hmmmm.....You might be right. I have never camped in the back, but I know I saw some tents out there. I thought everybody stayed up front for water and electricity. We got that covered though. Guess we could call them to verify.
Is anybody else in the group open to going to an ATV off-road park for a GTG? IF you have a quad or something to wheel with.....all the better. If not I don't really see any difference in being there vs. being in Sedalia. Open field with whatever elements mother nature brings at the time...

And there is bound to be a few (other) Cummins powered trucks at the park...and when they see 5-10 of our trucks...they will want to inquire.

Alright all you BOMBED guys. I'm looking at the Mach 1 series of injectors that Power by Poole has. I do have a modded trans and all the guages as well as the FASS system. Stock turbo. Will I have to any programmer changes with the 65 hp injectors?

65 HP injector is a drop in the bucket.....i woudl suggest going with at least 100 HP.......to save the change down the road.
The only issue you might have if you run JUST the injecors...is defueling with the auto when you get an overboost. You might need to get a boost fooler or an EZ module (Or Smarty) to help with that....

Thanks Dan.
Speaking of the Smarty. Are the HP numbers it list's based on stock injectors? I was thinking of going with the Smarty in the future as well. Then bump up my turbo size.

Wayne,
I ran an EZ (same hp as a Smarty) and 100 hp injectors for a yr and had no serious problems with the HY-35 turbo. Just add a manual boost controller to keep the turbo down to 32 psi max and you'll be ok.
Of course, a bigger turbo would make a big difference. Used HX-35 would be economical and effective...but a 62/12 would be a perfect match and would 'release' an additional 30 hp! That's what I got on the dyno...after upgrading turbos.
