MARYLAND TACOMAS

yea i think its gonna be a no go this weekend. i have to help my grandma move into her new house....i love how she asks me like 4 days prior... but ill see if i can make it the weekend before thanksgiving.

 

I might go depending on when/where.

 

I'm interested in a meet and greet. I could do the weekend before thanksgiving. I'm moving this weekend and maybe the following weekend, depending on how well this weekend goes.

Too bad there aren't many places to go off road. Maybe we could find a dirt road on google maps and pretend that it's full of ruts, whoops, and rocks haha.

 

Most offroading i've done has been rutted and mudded up fire roads (on private property) that i was either cutting/hauling wood off of or hunting on. So i don't really know of much anymore. I know Green Ridge closed a bunch of trails that were for ATVs and stuff....i saw jeeps on them once...but that was when i was just a wee one. Times are changing....maybe everyone should just make a road trip to a wheeling park in the lower Appalachians? I know there are several in WV, TN, KY, etc.

 

And the most water i've been through was in some mud holes over in WV a lomg time ago...i didn't even know where they were when i was over there....still don't know where they are.

Most mud/water i've hit with my tacoma was a puddle up in Garrett county by the paper mill. It was about two truck lengths long and about 6-10in deep...i hit it at about 35-40mph with just the passenger side tires and am damn lucky i didn't wreck. I've never seen water fly so high up into the trees. Worst part was, i had a half a load of fire wood on, and the rear suspension bottomed out when the rear tire slamed into the last lip of the hole....jolted me pretty good. Won't being doung shit at that speed again.

 

Not much around here they closed the orv trails greenridge was the best. There's talk about opening one outside if Frostburg St Johns Rock area. The mud hole in wv you were talking about are they the ones back in carpendale if so watch out for the one it will eat a truck on 35's no problem.

 

I just don't know where in(how far in) carpendale...i was just a kid. I've heard of fullsizes being flooded over there though yeah. I'd explore the area on a street and trail dirtbike if i could work up enough money to buy what i want. On a bike i could go around those holes and troublesome areas.

 

I hate mud.

 

Apparently so.

 

Anyone really itching for wheeling can just wait for snow and do real mall crawling on snow piles in parking lots. Dangerous and stupid but you can do it if you really want too.

 

All of that goes right over my head....i still don't know the stories apparently.

 

Tires would definately show that alignment issue. Damn. So why not just but and install new easily ajustable equipment and just antiseize the fupping hell out of it.

 

More like this __________. haha. Wasn't really that bad. I thought I was gonna suck driving that far. The thing that kept me at peace was the new tires at home. I knew I wasn't ruining tires by driving like that.

 

I got new fittings.... Way better ones at that.

 

They were trashed anyway. That's why I had ordered these new ones.

 

Looks good. Did you paint the lcas too?

 

Yeah. Both the LCA's and UCA's. Something different. Ended up liking it better then I thought. Used high temp paint and 400 grit.

 

Picked up another set of steelies tonight, anyone have opinions?
