Newbie Run in Western Washington

[Prismo]

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.

do i have to join that forum to go? u gonna be a support vehicle?

[Prismo]

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]

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

[81Toy4x]

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]

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

[81Toy4x]

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

[WHITE_TRASH]

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

[brainlessfool]

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

[WHITE_TRASH]

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]

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]

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]

wt whats the funny rocks?

[WHITE_TRASH]

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

[Prismo]

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]

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

[81Toy4x]

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

[Skinny_Pedal]

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

[81Toy4x]

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]

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]

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
