Default Potential place to crawl/scale trail

I'm in a 4x4 club with 40 acres of land. There is a dry (most of the time) creek bed, hills few trees etc. There has already been some things done to the land for the 1:1's to play on but we are looking to see if there is any interest with the rc crawlers. Be open to do pretty much whatever to build a course with rock/cement chunks or whatever. Some pretty cool areas to build a scale type trail area as well. I believe Krakker (Rory) has been out there. Here's a few pics of the land, let me know if you all are interested. I think it would be an awesome place to hold a big meet at. Its down by Firth just south of Lincoln. The pictures here don't show all that has been done. Land has a lot of potential.

That's me in the 4th pic about to hook up the YJ to my wifes TJ. The prarie is a lot of fun and could be a decent area to crawl if it had enough space to run a few courses.
It's been a while since I've been out there but I'd be interested in giving it another look.

Lots of room. there are areas between some of the trees the big rigs can't go and would be ideal to build a course on. Would have to haul in rocks but it can be done. I have to work this saturday but I could get ahold of shawn and let him know and maybe sunday afternoon we could go out there? I wish I had some more pictures.

Krakker, that name makes me I was gonna tell you I did some trading of some rc things I have had and now have an axial scx10. Need to do a 4 link to it and it will be ready to roll. I even got a proline jk body, 2.2 flat irons and a set of 1.9 black nonbeadlock CAC wheels with crushers. Gonna be more of a trail rig than anything.

I've got a "bunch" of unused Axial parts, might have all the pieces you need for the 4link conversion. Hit me up some time. This Sat., I'm headed to a friends to get all the brakes and front shocks done on my truck.

Yeah, about 20+ lbs. ago. I got stank mud in the Jeep that stained some of the interior that day. Wife still hasn't let me live that down.

I'm thinking some of that mud may not have been all just mud

I'm not sure what all I need for sure. I do know I need the four link mount but I think the guy cut the mounts off of the axle. I got some stampede shafts that they say work great for drive shafts. I need to take some time and really look it over. I got the raw end of the deal when I traded but oh well. I also wound up with a goat S3 and esc brushless system. But apparently the motor is no good, could have you take a look at that sometime too. I plan on using an old faithful brushed motor.

PM me when you're ready, we'll check it all out and see where you want to go with the build. I've got a few 35T motors I could part with.
R2j Kustoms makes a truss that serves as the 4link mount also, he (Shon) makes some crazy good stuff.
