2015 T.a.Co. Rock Therapy - Official Thread

Dude I don't want to hear it I just dumped 8+ G's into my taco just to find out my laptop and fridge died on the same day. $700 there and I haven't purchased a new computer yet and then my trubo on my cummins is leaking 3 quarts of oil every 800 miles so theres another $1300
After all that crying am I still going EFFFFF yes I am.

so more of this vvv and less of that ^^^

 

Unfortunately most of the obstacles it's not necessarily about having that locker, it's having the control of low range. It will be interesting to see how you do. After trying it with mike (open/open) I personally would not recccomend cliff hanger with your set up (if you were looking at it) unless you want to winch a lot of it.

With the exception of a few obstacles Kane would be a blast for you though. Super fun trail! Good go fast!

 

You'll need quite a lot of help getting pulled through the final climb out at the end of kane. 2wd will only carry you so far. The front tires are needed to pull you up, vs try to just drive over.
A few years ago I ran the last half of the trifecta in 2wd, and I managed to do it only getting pulled up stuff about 10 times. Which I don't think is too shabby considering the difficulty of that trail. A good driver can get a surprising amount of places, but without the proper setup, even the best drivers can only go so far.

 

actually not going to lie... kind of impressive... only 10 times.. its a pretty decent size section if i remember correctly

 

Don't try and scare him it's not hard when the pulling truck has an auto and 4wd.
I drove half of BTR in 2wd in my 94 the first year I went to moab.

 

ive yet to do kane creek.. im worried about not being able to make the last climb out and have to drive all the way back through the trail..

 

I remember that.

But if the truck is a first gen 4wd single cab manual pulling a fat 2nd gen, its a tit bit harder.

 

oh come on youll make it just fine. as long as you don't wheel with a bunch of noobs.

also at this time I will say when running any trail you do not leave people behind and expect them to make it out on their own. if you loose some one pull over have a snack, BS, take some pics and if they haven't caught up to you go back for them.

 

4 banger 6 lug problems

 

True story.

 

I've driven out of hells twice with only 2wd. So I know that trail is doable. But I'm just saying

 

The time off has been approved, just have to get my tasks covered.

I have the 25th to the 1st off. So I will be arriving some time the 25th, in the evening is my guess, and will most likley be rolling out the 1st of June

 

Wheel what you got!!!!

DO IT!!!!!!! Come out and wheel with me.....

^^^^^^^EXACTLY!!!!

You should be good. Well all get through it.

 

how you do that I have no idea. but does that mean that this year you are doing hells gate and tip over challenge.

you work the weekend?? how lame.

 

Hell no I'm not working on the weekend. It's my brothers graduation celebration.

 

Yeah that's the pLan. Well for tip over challenge anyway. I ran hells gate last year.

 

Okay okay...ill just make my best attempt to be there! If it happens Ill be driving Thursday with evening arrival and staying till Sunday morning.

Sounds awesome to me! Cliff Hanger was definitely not in my list of trails to hit tho haha! Here's what I had in mind in order of importance:
-Kane Creek
-Top of the World
-Moab Rim
-Sevenmile Rim
-Elephant Hill
-Bull Canyon
-Porcupine Rim
-Hole in the Rock
-Hells Revenge would be awesome but from ive seen looks impossible with 2wd...
-Sand Dunes of course!

I accept the challenge and ill have new toyos for additional help, but definitely prepared for a tug

Basically my goal is to have atleast the tires and LCAs bought and installed. If I don't get atleast those 2, I wont even bother going. My Hankooks are toast and I plain and simply don't trust my lowers since I just broke one couple weeks ago. The fiancée and I are supposed to be moving into another place on the 31st, but that wont be necessary if we sign another 6 month lease...

 

you can do hells, theres no way a prerunner is doing moab rim. youll end up in the river upside down.....

 

Agreed lol. Glad I'm not the only one with thst thought. Most of it is pretty easy, but the first stretch has a number of ledges and off camber obstacles that lead right off a cliff. Hells though would be fine, as there are easy and hard lines

 

Good to know gents haha Thanks for the heads up, any other trails that seem questionable in my list?
