I would love to come out and hit the hammers but I think I need to do a little more work to my rig before I do. besides this is an annual event for me and a few friends every year we do an april trip to calico Its like family tradition. Im hoping to be ready for the Hammers by next year.
By the way thanks for the warm welcome $Beer Chug\'n$

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, sorry it took me so long to reply. Its been an interesting few weeks, For starters my calico trip was fun but short lived. Unfortunately the GF broke her foot in camp saturday morning so I was only able to do a little wheelin. Then there was the whole surgery issue with her foot a few days later. Then this week Iv'e been in Houston for work. So here are a few pics of the wheelin I did get to do in Calico.

Looks like a good spot. I hear a lot of good thins about Calico. Do you ever get up to big bear? I am trying to finish up a 4Runner to get a trip planned and the Dessert is getting hot.

Crawlerdad, Calico is alot of fun we go a few times a year. As far as big bear I havn't been with this rig yet but we are thinking of doin a day trip this sunday. If I dont make it to big bear this weekend there will for sure be a trip this summer.

Fortysix, Thanks she could still use some work but I like her anyway

This Sunday will be a busy day on the trail. I hear you can run into traffic jams out there. If you go let us know how it goes.

Hooligan750 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2009, 05:17:40 PM »

Its official we are going sunday. I will put up some pics when we get back. If anyone is interested in going let me know.

Wow. Big Bear always an adventure. It was 3 of us, My 84 a stock tacoma on 31's and a stock jeep cherokee. we started up Gold Mountain and made our way to John Bull needless to say me with 33's and open diff's and 2 other stock vehicles didn't make it past gatekeeper (I was told this section was recently changed and everyone agreed it was more difficult than it had been) but we had fun trying.
Now for some pics

Here's some random rig that came through

crawlerdad · « **Reply #16 on:** May 25, 2009, 09:19:33 PM »

Looks like a good trip. I like the before and after rock rash pictures on the taco. How was traffic on the trail?

Hooligan750 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2009, 05:30:38 AM »

Gold mountain wasn't too bad (those jeep guys are slow) John Bull, There were a few small groups waiting to go up when we got there but I don't know how the rest of the trail was, we never made it past gate keeper

(I need lockers and bigger tires in a bad way) Otherwise it was a fun day.

crawlerdad · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2009, 05:52:39 PM »

What suspension do you run (make and lift size)?

Hooligan750 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:53:29 PM »

Honestly I dont know. I was told by the previous owner that it was an old all pro kit but all pro says the front hangar is not theirs. Looks to me like it started as a 5 inch lift with some sag in the rear. my plan is to swap it out for an all pro 4 inch some time down the road. But for now i need to concentrate on the gears and lockers. How about you what are the plans for the runner?

crawlerdad · « **Reply #20 on:** May 26, 2009, 09:20:54 PM »

I am trying to finish off an all pro extreme lift but it is slow going. I am trying to sell my other truck to fund it but it is also slow going. I am trying to finish the lift and steering this week then I hope to soon do gears and lockers, bumpers and all that good stuff. The wait is killing me.

If you like you can keep an eye on what we are doing, we don't mind new people to come along and maybe join us. We generally post everything on our bb and sometimes I post them in our section on Marlincrawler. We adhere to all Cal4Wheel bylaws and trail rules so bare that in mind.
