Anybody up for it?
I'd like to test out my truck (except tank trap).
:dunno:

I would love to go! How many rigs do u have that can go? Tank trap should be dry that weekend. There is only 1 real wall u have to deal with in No Mans Land. If thats the truck ur gonna run (in ur profile pic) u should have no problems. I will spot u if u want. I will spread the word to my buddies and see how many yotas i can get out there.

Dont try to shift into 6th when u've only got a 5spd! Rubberside down doesnt always mean rite side up!

MiniSimp

So far it's me, myself, and I.
I don't think I'll be able to do tank trap, but if you've done it, you can probably tell me.
Keep in mind, I've only got worn out 35's. :dunno:

I havent driven it.. but i have spotted many rigs thru there... like i said.. there is only the one spot u have to worry about. what r ur gears? are u locked or open?

Kyle, you can do it on 35's... and you gotta be locked :thumbs:

This was Tank Trap 2 weeks ago, I really don't want to end up like this.
What about Jungle over by Sycamore camp to start with?

Mini that was a fun recovery. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get him out of the way and then 3 or so hours to get him back to camp. Joe

The only pit I was not wanting to go in last weekend was the 7th hole. But other than that we walked all of it on sunday. Winched  twice from taking a dumb line and was on my side. Later Joe

TTC..thats rite. I forgot about that. U should be pretty good. If u can get one or 2 rigs in front of you, u should be ok to roll thru it. We have done an 8 man winch team b4... take8 guys, they get on 1 end of the strap.... the other end on the front of the rig..... 1,..2...4 and away u go! Jungle would be a fairly easy one for u on 35's lok'd f/r. As long as u dont care about ur driver side.. u will be fine... u almost have to drop in hard driver side to get thru one of the early parts of it.. unless u can get a tire WAAYY up on the wall. U CAN DO IT!!! Its a toyota! HAHA!

You can do jungle fer sure, just watch out for that Poison Oak!!! It's terrrible in Jungle.  When I was out there in May you couldn't walk on the side of the trail it was so overgrown.

:down:   Doesn't look Like I'm going to be able to make it!  My truck just started making a horrible ticking, clicking noise under acceleration.  Not the timing, Going to check the valves tonight (Just checked them 2months ago as part of maintenance), I fear it is the timing chain guide.  :rivers:   It's loud and comming from the front of the engine.  So if this is the case I'll be working on it instead of Wheeling with you guys, sorry.
