Two maze trips in 2022 (Added plan idea for trip 1) (2nd trip canceled). 1s moved from 17th to 24th April

Those are 37s. I wasn't even in the market for 37s but the manager of my local 4WP talked me into the 37s and a 5 1/2" lift when the 35s I had originally ordered remained out of stock for two months (and still are 3 1/2 months later). Seems there is a rubber shortage.



I'm going back tomorrow and ordering the compressor and some side steps so Lisa can get into the FJ.

Dang, did you re-gear for the larger tires?

Jim, Permits for April and May will be available Nov 10. The three vehicle limit per group is a park restriction.

Gotcha, thanks Rick.

Yes, I did. I went from a 3.72 gear ratio to a 4.88. I drove to the Maze in April on 35s without changing the gearing. Highway driving and cruise control were badly affected. I also had an inline speedometer calibrator installed.

Looks like my new plan idea got lost in the replies. Look back towards the end of page 2.

Good job, you did it right.

This was going to be decision day, but that was before I added a new plan near the end of page 2. Now we can get 6 vehicles so Jeffrey and Sonny can both go and 2 others as well. But I need to have you guys buy into the plan because it cuts out Panorama Point.

Ben, I think you should start a New Thread and we can lock this one. Copy and Paste your Updated Plan into the New Thread.
