Frank Raines... The aftermath!

Wow!! Came out beautiful! How long did it take? All day? Looks like the sun was setting..

Oh no. Eric Jr.

MOAR!!!

Please tell your friend Jon thank you for the pictures. They came out really good.

 

+1

 

Lol i know. It was the only way I could get up.


But seriously, I apologize if I did scare anyone. The whole time I felt in control of the truck.

Everyone kept saying NOT to ease off the gas. So I gunned it all the way to the top. I really didn't want to get stuck again.

 

What have I become?

 

Great pics from everyone. I just finished editing them and they're uploading on photobucket as I type. I tried to get pics of everyone as much as I could, but at the same time I was too busy having fun wheeling.

Alex, how funny, I got some similar shots that your friend took. Good thing he decided not to bring that Outlander.

 

And heeeeeeeere we go...

Everyone at Frank Raines getting ready and doing a little chit chatting.









Kamikaze secretly planning to put all the newbs through his stress test.



babytruck - wishing she had babytruck there



Random solo shots







Off we go to have a little fun.





Kidney Stone - who doesn't love black trails.



John and Alex were the first two at the top. These two trucks are so photogenic. Any angle produced great looking shots as you will see.





Ruben hauling ass up the trail scattering everyone in front, LOL.



Laughing all the way as we ran for cover







And the lone non-Toyota(my uncle)


Continuing onto other parts of the park. This 3rd Gen 4Runner, s/c and all, was to die for.



The now infamous mud pit

Alvin and Lucas staking it out.



We can now see who was the smart one and who had more fun.







Success!



Chris taking a mud bath as well.



Edwin



Kamikaze going for his 2nd round.

 

Alex's truck loving the camera.











Blowing off some steam like a boss



John showing us how it's really done. Another truck that LOVED the camera










Alvin having his own fun while laughing at us on the inside.





Notice his dry tires and the rest of the tacos, lol.



The hill that we will all conquer one day.





The rest of us waiting for Kamikaze to do it.



After a half an hour of struggling to get to the top, John and Eric decided that it was too much for us newbs so we all headed back down for a group photo.



And the aftermath.













Dried mud anyone?

 

wow nice pics vin, you gotta come with us on every trip we need more pics like these lol next trip bear valley! its easy i promise

btw filter is still a lil dirty i say

 

even as a newb, i carry a spare filter to swap out for wheeling, lol. btw, i now have a brand new alternator installed.

also, sorry about the little mixup after the battery swap. i was in a rush to head to Tracy with the new battery in and didn't thinking about letting you and chris know to follow my brother instead. my bad.

 

Awesome pics Vin!

You really captured a lot of great moments.

Lol Kamikaze Eric (good one)

 

asked my buddy about your alt situation he told me that as long as there is no mud and other build up in the wire brush in the alt it should work fine, so if you still have the bad alt you can clean it out and save it as a spare.

 

Thanks Ruben. I took about 120 pics, but I selected only the worthy ones. I noticed that I only had like 4 shots of my own truck, lol.

I now have lifetime warranty on it. I will never have to pay for another unit, just exchange it whenever needed. We definitely have to do this again at another park.
