I am posting this up for those of you new to this sport in my area. If you are a newbie this is a good opportunity to get to know some local people, learn some of the ins & outs of wheeling & trail etiquette.

Heck no, you don't have to join the forum to go (hey that rhymed).
I don't know if I will yet, but I offered to help.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #3 on:** Jun 22, 2004, 06:09:39 PM »

well i would say my truck fits those qualifications(stock!)

Yeah I would definitely like to attend that run. When I went with you I was introduced to a few new trails, but I'm sure there is a lot more to find up there.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #5 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 01:24:48 PM »

Id enjoy going but Ill have to build a rig capable of going on the trails.

81Toy4x · « **Reply #6 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 01:27:14 PM »

Ryan, last time I checked you had just got done building one. Have you already forgot?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #7 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 05:56:46 PM »

Oh that little old thing, I dont think it'll do very good without some real work.

brainlessfool · « **Reply #8 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 06:03:14 PM »

well get bzzy, heck with a little time and some more donor trucks I beat you could find another bent frame!

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #9 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 06:06:07 PM »

Damn Im never gonna live down the bent frame thing am I? I actually thyink that I subcontiously saw a bent frame so I could build a cooler truck.

brainlessfool · « **Reply #10 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 06:09:41 PM »

It's just a case of "performance ansiaty" you like the work but do not want to "comite"

comitemnt is nothing to fear! be one with the truck it will not let you down!

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #11 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 06:12:31 PM »

I will be going to funny rocks on the 4th so Ill be testing everything out then. I do still need a bunch of seat time so I know every quirk of the truck. I was pretty good in the big truck but I had driven it so much I knew it really well. This truck is so differant but Im getting used to it.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #12 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 08:41:27 PM »

wt whats the funny rocks?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 08:47:41 PM »

Its a killer trail in the Naches area. Ive never been there myself but I know a lot of people that have.

Prismo · « **Reply #14 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 09:29:42 PM »

Funny Rocks & Moon Rocks is a rocky area where everyone plays with their trucks. The trail to them is quite easy. The Kaner flat trail is a much more fun way to get to Funny Rocks. The trail to the top of Quartz Mountain is a fun trail too.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #15 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 09:43:36 PM »

o right on. quartz mountain, thats in the area of buck meadows right or taneum creek?

81Toy4x · « **Reply #16 on:** Jun 23, 2004, 10:58:33 PM »

yep that's it. you drive up the taneum creek road to get there.

Skinny_Pedal · « **Reply #17 on:** Jun 24, 2004, 08:28:42 AM »

81toy4x, maybe that would be a good time to do the trial your dad wanted to do

81Toy4x · « **Reply #18 on:** Jun 29, 2004, 11:17:06 PM »

So Dan, since a bunch of people are going to funny rocks on the 4th, you think mine and Gavin's trucks would be capable?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #19 on:** Jun 30, 2004, 01:53:18 AM »

It'd be a clutch burn'n good time for you guys. Actually Ive seen video from there, from what Ive seen there are places for about everyone.

Prismo · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 30, 2004, 02:48:23 AM »

You guys can get your trucks up to the rocks. What you want to try from there is up to you!
Unless things change in the next few days, I will not be able to go this weekend.

Any recommendations on a good shop in the south Seattle area (Tukwila, De Moines) that you could recommend to do some brake upgrades/repairs on a 1981 pickup?

I'm about a thousand and a half miles from you so I can't recommend a shop, but there's tons of info on this forum. You will probably end up being your best mechanic. If not on this job, the next one, or 5 jobs from now
