Hollister Hills SVRA 1/7/17

10-4. Thanks for the tip.

 

Also. Above all. Wear long sleeves and gloves. That fiberglass shit gets in your skin and fucking SUCKS to get out for like a day. I hate it.

 

Pm'd, as this thread is still for hollister hills svra and not my personal use.

 

NBD, just bumps the thread so more people see it if they're interested.

 

New guy here but wouldn't mind rolling around hollister with a bunch of other Tacos.

Subbed as a definite maybe coming from San Jose

 

Great! Everyone is welcome! Like I said before, nobody should be shy about coming to Hollister. It is a VERY easy offroad park. Again, I did it completely stock with some stock size off road tires. If you are in a sport with road tires, you might have tough time on some of the black diamond trails, only because they are a little steep and there's a couple spots that need a little clearance (lift) and at least an All terrain, but again, there are bypasses around those that are eaaasily navigable to meet up with us on the other side.

My go to camp has hot showers (read-should, last time they didn't but thats like 4/5 times with hot showers), full bathrooms, plenty of parking space, overhangs in case it rains, and plenty of friendly people to go around.

In other news, its raining right now, I don't know the forecast for that weekend, but if it does rain, I don't think I'll be going up any of the steeper trails. Some of those would suck if you start sliding back, and I'm not trying to wreck my truck. That being said, I'll still roll around everything else and have fun doing 4 wheel rooster tails.

 

Don't think I'll be running Truck Hill or the Tank Trap with my DD but I'm gtg for most any sane trail

 

A stock TRD offroad with locking rear diff and a-track can do truck hill - depending on how deep the ruts are.

For the glass fenders, look at how the fender is "supposed to" fit. and figure out what small part is sticking out too far to achieve that perfect fit. As oppose to making a big long cut along the "obviously wrong" line. In this case, you are Michelangelo - trying to remove only that which isn't a perfectly fitting fender.

Sounds like the wife has some girl scout thang going on this weekend. That increases the chance I'll show up.

 

Definitely a tentative for this - more then likely a day trip, but well see what the weather looks like

been looking to get out there and get dirty and meet some of the NorCal crew- running a stock dclb with 265/70r17 duratracs - I think it's a requirement I get her on the dirt now that I've got those tires on-

 

Yeah you'll be fine

 

just got back from hollister
camped out last night it poured rain till about 6 last night and then was perfect that just made all the trails muddy
i didn't go up any of the harder stuff just went the easy stuff since i was a solo truck but still a great time the only other people I saw were rangers and then dirt bikers at the lower ranch when i was filling up it was awesome

 

yeah the blues and greens would be fun in mud, but F going up any of the blacks. Even getting to the look out might be a little shady at times

 

yeah i didn't go unto the look out today just because i was solo
but yeah the blues and greens were super easy and fun in mud
and now on monday when i go into work ill be able to wash my truck there with the pressure washers and if it is slow enough (i think it will be) then i can demud it and get paid for it

 

Thanks for the help @VolcomTacoma and everyone. I'm on (what I would consider) the home stretch

 

Cheers! Lookin good! Now their will be a grey panda to my blue panda! Lol

 

Lol pyrite mica! She's a brownie. I just need a front bumper and a solution to the filler neck... hah.

 

Yeah but brown panda sounds a little a racist lol. Grey Panda it is.

I still haven't done my filler neck. I need to take the plastics off my OEM fenders and rivet them in and then get some fuel line and extend the filler neck. Sounds like alot of work, I think I'll put it off some more until right before I finally paint my fenders in 2020 or so

 

Almost had to post this

 

Hence why I didn't dub him 'brown panda'. And my black truck with white fenders? Just 'panda' lol (back in the day).

 

PEEL HIS MUFFIN CAP BACK BLUE
