Tried to reserve a room at the university but it says the event is closed....hopefully this is just a system errorI am registered. Amy and I are attending.
Were you able to register at the UofPitt dorm?LastLB and 42 Circle also got in. I will be solo and one of the cool things about this event is that we can stay in Univ of Pitts dorms
Nevermind....I see the rooms don't open up until 06JAN25.Were you able to register at the UofPitt dorm?
FYI for everybody going ,it says NEW for 2025 requirement for winch owners to have an appropriate tree rated saver and a soft shackle in your Jeep.
My next task is to swap my steel line for rope, quick front sway bar disconnect, and new rear sway bar bushings, oh and bottle of whiskey and some beer to finish up the projects.I support that rule change.
I don't know if anyone here has seen the damage you can do to a tree, winching just one time with the rope wrapped directly around the tree, but it is devastating to the tree. Having a 4" or wider strap disperses the load enough that there is no damage to the tree.
Also, I ditched 100% of all the metal on my winch line. I don't even have the metal eyelet on the end. Not that the rope can't still hurt or kill you, there is a lot less energy in the rigging with just rope, a soft shackle and a tree saver. The likelihood of getting hurt or killed by getting hit by a snapped line is dramatically reduced with zero metal in the rigging.
9 spots left.Registration is still open. Lets fill the Jamboree with NovaJeepers![]()
