2014 Norcal Wheeling Trip Thread

plenty capable bro! i wouldnt drag you along if i didnt think you wouldnt be ok

 

To bad I dident see this sooner. If you'r planning any more trips let me know I would be down to go.

 

I'm down for some camping trips too. Crazy how nice the weather is right now.

 

Same here bro! Im hoping to go to slickrock this year on the annual trip that TW does

 

When is slick rock?

 

Crossing my fingers for snow this week.

 

Me too bro, I wanna wheel in the snow again!

they usually do it in August. Wife is gonna be super prego, but me and my son can sneak away for a day or 2

 

Lets wheel it this weekend! we might even have snow on the ground.

 

I just may be game! I do wanna watch the superbowl, but really, my niners aint playing so its whatever to me!!

I have work Saturday, So sunday would work for me!

 

Hmmmmmm...I do wanna run slickrock again, but I'm not sure if it'll be possible for me if there's any moisture...

 

I went yesterday in my stock as hell 2013 SR5 4x4. I have no lift, wheels, tires, cb radio, or anything like that. I only had a shovel, axe, and a few tools yesterday and I did just fine.

 

Awesome. I'm probably a go next time. Talked to wife... Anyone bring their doggies?

 

Yeah Fernando had his dog out with us yesterday.

 

Hmm.could this be done with no skids?I've never been there.. Adding snow would really make it interesting.If it snows i might go snowboarding but if its a weak storm. I will wait.

 

You'd probably be fine. Here are some pics on this page and the next few pages from a 2012 run: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/no...wheeling-trip-oct-13th-strawberry-pass-5.html
There's also a gopro video on page 7 or something.
I did it stock height (maybe even lower because of my sagging springs) with 31" tires and just my stock skids (a little beefier than modern skids) and deformed my carrier bearing skid from a rock, but I was able to pop that off and re-form it later, so that was fine.

 

Looks do able!

 

If you plan a trip this weekend shoot me a text 3848943 I would like to get out of the city this weekend.

 

Damn, looks like im going to be putting on alot of miles this year! lol...So kevin, you think i would be ok with no lift?? Im pretty protected with my 3 piece skid and sliders. just wish i had a bit more clearance

 

Skids and sliders are great, I bumped my rear bumper a few times, we had to stack a fair number of rocks for me, though. I've heard that it's more challenging now, though, so that would be a question for Jerry or whoever wheeled it last. I know there was a trip that went there a few months ago and that Jerry and I think Alex (username styfu510, I think) went on that trip, but I'm not sure.
