i guess i should say, um he was winching up a red 4runner , Marlin almost didnt make it up that ravine/ cliff and when he got to the top and took a breath he said, "that stuff was just

"

the runner had 38's and was locked front and rear but just couldnt get enough grip to come up the hill

HEY THAT'S A HEEP!!!! What you doing letting that thing lead...

? With Marlin being there I Would think a toy could be found to lead.. IE: little blue truck owned by a local boy.

Looks like one of the trucks back there may be blue.. Is that a Nissin behind the heep?

Glen, I thought the event was limited to Toyotas only. WTF is that jeep doing there?

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #20 on:** Jul 23, 2006, 07:24:46 PM »

You better get that left front tire back on the trail, that's not treading lightly.

He is actually from indianapolis.

The trails were rating 1-5 with 5 being the most difficult.

The Jeep was Bear's friend. He was a cool guy and since he wasn't a Toyota, he didn't participate in the raffle.

I just talked to Marlin, he is about 100 miles form AZ NM line and hauling

should be home for dinner

BigMike · « **Reply #26 on:** Jul 25, 2006, 12:55:04 PM »

Marlin and "mom" got in around midnight this morning

Marlin drove the whole way, 3267 miles, as "mom" doesn't like pulling trailers. He made it from Moriarty, NM to Fresno, CA in one day straight, almost 1,000 miles, which I thought was pretty cool.

He had a great time and spent most of the time fixing other rigs as usual

Here are some pictures from his camera. I didn't ask him much about them, so sorry if I don't mention any names

A shot of the trail that they were on

Here is a White Tacoma

Here "mom" shows us what she does best, sitting in the Crawler Rig

Near the high power wires atop the hill.

Hood sticker looks good Marlin

Truck's look'n good 8)

Here is the begining of Rock Fink Ravine. Marlin said it was pretty dang steep and loose, and if it wasn't for the 3RZ, he would have never made it. He said, "oh no, with my old 22MAR engine, oh forget it" The truck that he had to winch up was a 4Runner with a 3.0 3VZ-FE with 38s?, which I am sure had enough power, but it maybe had more weight than Marlin's rig. But I don't know... Marlin's truck sure is a heavy one-

The amount of Sidehill in some areas was a bit

Marlin's truck again

And some weirdo in a Blue 1st gen truck who I have never met
