Yeah, I agree.

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.

Always enjoy the pics - I kind of live vicariously through them

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

I am still working on thoes winning lottery numbers so I can pay for all of us to meet on the trail

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.........

Sign me up! Tell ya what, if I win the lottery I'll hire a team of trucks to hall the rigs around, a private jet for the drivers and a couple helicopters so we can scout out the trail from above.

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

Dude, my computer's making wierd nois's, answered you last nite but it didn't go thru, there is some kinda restore button, I'll try that,anywayyyyy

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

Once in my life I actually listened to her, no choice I couldn't stand up

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...

I gotta say.

OLDCHEV4X4 · 10-01-2007, 08:48 AM

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.

Lots of trails for lightly modified rigs available there.

OLDCHEV4X4 · 10-01-2007, 09:42 AM

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.
