Yeah, I agree. :rolleyes:

Those pics were taken by one of the Toyota driver's wives, so alot of times we weren't really in the same area at the same time.

The pics are in no particular order either, for whatever reason.

We were running four full size and four middies in this group.
Getting spread out happens more than you might want.

There should be more hopefully, the red blazer on rocks w/44's gets his wife to take pics and she does a good job with it...stay tuned.

Nice!
I would love to wheel that place! My rig would love it too :metal:

I am still working on thoes winning lottery numbers so I can pay for all of us to meet on the trail :lol: :metal:
That would be cool to hire a handfull of truckdrivers to haul our rigs around the states then we could just fly to the locations and have our rigs waiting for us!
SLAP!
Ok back to reality.........:lol:

Thanks for the pics, enjoyed almost as much as being there. That new playground up on top looks like fun. Did you get a chance to try out your new rear brakes???

Didn't know we had native lizzards like that, oh well

Amazing how use guys can fix breakage on the trail!!!

Thanks again for posting up pics. J

Rear line locks worked really well, took alot of grumbling out of doing front digs.

I'll be fishing for salmon the end of the month, what are the dates

Heart and back are feeling better then 2 weeks ago, can you imagine the wifey telling me wheelin' would not be a good thing to do in my condition:bs: Once in my life I actually listened to her, no choice I couldn't stand up:lol:

Glad your mods. worked for you looks like you had a great trip, I was going to stop up and sit around the campfire with you but that didn't work out either

LMK, got my exhaust bent yesterday, so I gotta play with that today. J.

Pics can't do it justice, if you've wheeled much you now exactly what I'm talkin' about. ;)

Which green one? The Tracker or the full size?
The pics of the Tracker tire was only showing the 'position' , nothing happened other than the broken rear axle on that same climb.

He got wedged as opposed to me (full size) having to straddle it.

The guys I've gotten tied into have been doing this for awhile and would play on Red trails all day, given the chance.

It's been quite a steep learning curve, this is only my 2nd year of 'real/hard core' rock crawling and there's times...:ack: I gotta say.

Looks like fun. I gotta get out to Rausch creek some day. I'm only about 2 hr away from it. But I,m not set up for rock crawling. I only have 33's.

No matter, take what you have and run what you can. :gi:

Lots of trails for lightly modified rigs available there.

Re: Wheeling @ Rausch Creek Sept. 07
 
Yea, I have to go with other trucks with 33's.
We are going on a trail ride the last weekend in October up in Shamokin Pa.
Have you ever been there?
Its old mining land that has grown up.

Never been, sounds cool.

Post up a thread telling us about it, with details, direction's and any links.

Pics too would be great.
