    So far it's looking like this, so at least two of us are in:

    confirmed - 2002 Tacoma DC (lifted, 33's, 4x4, rear locker)
    confirmed - 1999 4runner (lifted, 33's, 4x4, rear locker)
    maybe - 2005 Tacoma EC (lifted, 33's, 2WD, rear locker)
    maybe - 1995 Jeep Cherokee (no lift, 31's, 4x4)
    maybe - 2015 Tacoma DC (factory lift? it's a TX Pro, 32's, 4x4, rear locker)

    That's too bad. There will always be more wheeling trips though.

    I have a handheld CB and the
    $18 BAOFENG UV-5R Dual Band Two Way Radio (Black), 144-148MHz & 420-450MHz
    Baofeng UV-5R. If you like I'll bring my CB but I highly recommend getting the Baofeng; those radios are awesome. I also have one spare radio for anyone that does not have one.

    I've made many changes to the going and maybe lists. Would you all mind double checking where I put you at on the lists? Also, please vote on the poll if you haven't done so. A route is starting to form in my mind but I want to make sure I can see what everyone would like to do.

    Looks good! I've only been there a few times before so I'm not too familiar with the different routes/trails. My vote will go to whichever is the most challenging while still 2wd friendly (if that route even exists).

    Depends upon tire size, armor, and if a rear locker is present. I have straps and a come-along so no one should be stuck on the trail.

    List updated.

    Just was asking for a few of the trucks in our group. I'll wait till I get confirmation and will place my vote then.

    Thanks for the info. I guess I used the term "CB" loosely. If there are better options for trail comms, I'm all for it. What freqs do you use on the 5R? Did you have to take some FCC test to use it? :evil:

    I would want to verify that. For short wave there are no frequency that you can use unlicensed unless it's an emergency. Cb we can all freely use

    I'm a maybe still. Just got back from sedona and few surrounding areas. Absolutely unreal out there, needless to say I have already been trying to plan more trips in my head. Hopefully I don't have to work that day
