2016 T.a.Co. Rock Therapy

i think I'm going to try to make it out to this, even though it will just be me.

 

the VAST Majority of us are IFS. only a handful (if that many) are SAS'd

 

Alright just making sure good stuff, making arrangements to go, gotta get some funds up.

 

yeah last year there was like 9 of us. 10 if you count my tow rig

 

there were that many? I didn't count tow rigs or buggies... just the Tacos and Runners.

but yeah still 10 out of 110+

 

@CedarPark IFS should be fine. Most of the trails can be run with IFS and only a few I'd say require SA. I see you're from Austin. Man I loved playing in hidden falls and katemcy when I was there.

 

I just realized I only have solid axles in the fleet

 

Man I bought my wife a shirt 2 years ago and she hasn't worn it since. It's safe to say I'll be buying shirt(s) for only myself this year lol

 

Yeah, I live 45 minutes from Hidden Falls, easy to say I put my unlimited pas to work.

I haven't tried K2 yet. My dad is looking at buying land in Mason, I might try then.. Heard its one hell of a ride.

 

well if you take those out i think there was only 5.

I think if your IFS is build well enough you could do any trail. Any IFS rigs want to do Pritchett?

same goes for me unless you include the girlfriends cars.

 

k2 is tough, if you're taking 4's and 5's at HF though - I'd say you're good to go in Moab with the rest of the crew that goes. 31" tires is the only part of your build that makes me go "ehhh" but if you know what you're doing...

 

K2 is no joke, but there's plenty for our rigs to play on. Try out the "back 40" if you head out that way.

The main part of the park pretty much requires a buggy.

 

Not on day one but yes atleast most of it.

 

If you can do most of it you can do all of it.

 

Not specifically. I think the waterfall would give me issue bc of my length and tire on the back. I could pull it for the obstacle but I don't think I'm long enough. I don't like spinning my wheels a lot. I don't have to out here because of how grippy and clean the trails are. Granted Moab is grippy but the black shellac from tires does effect traction.
I'd like it if Pritchett's trail was more clean. Less dirt, less black then I'd stand a better chance. My style of crawling and expecting traction may not work there. I'm up for something tougher but needs to be doable.

Do you think that Rocker knocker is that much bigger than Z turn on Moab rim?? It looks about the same size of ledges but one has more dirt and obviously spacing.

1)Does your truck walk it?
2)What's the hard part for you??
3)Size of obstacles or traction?
4)Do you spin your wheels more than necessary or is that what has to happen to get up and over?

Asking bc of my style and well I'll need you spitting me and/or helping me out. I won't put myself in a bit spot but, pretty comfy crawling around.

Regarding the pickle. My friend did it in a truck like mine last year when we were out. He broke a cv but that's it.

 

1. I can do most of it backwards. 2. I had to winch up Rocker Knocker (my wheelbase is to long) 3. ah it's a short fast action trail with tons of traction. 4. I like the smell of burnt rubber. 5.There are bypass's and winch points and just about every major obstacle so don't even worry. your biggest need will be protection and ill pull you through the rest.

I fit my rig though the pickle last year but im wider this year so i don't know if ill even fuck with it.

 

1)figured
2)surprised me
3)perfect
4)OBV figured
5)I think I'd prefer to winch off your truck than have it pull me.

So does that mean you're coming?

 

Depends on when my little girl is born. I have to wait till the week before to see if i get the all clear from the doctor. If i show it will be like the 3rd - 5th.

 

Guess we'll see, haha. I've watched, excuse my language, a metric shit ton of MOAB videos, always looks liketheres a line I can make.

I'm able to do all the hard lines on Dino Falls up through Carnage Canyon, going through that right line and up the crevas, done Jody's, done Toyota before they closed it. HF rating system is kinda... eh. Nothing is worse (besides "the wall") Wildcat when it's wet. I'd consider myself fairly experienced, though. I go at least once a week to a couple local spots here in Lubbock.

I plan on doing 35's on 17" beadlocks next year when I finish LTing it, probably do 4.88s. This trip is a bit too soon for me to imagine having it all done by then, though.

Its been something i've wanted to try.. my buddy has a Land Cruiser (FJ 80s I think) on 37s, locked, diesel swapped, ect, and he's given me horror stories... never know 'till you try though!

 

@NYCO That other thing is in the works. Should be a couple weeks now.
