Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

A few miles from the house....

 

Got a Raptor and a Wrangler out back to back.

I'm 100% factory.

 

Did a night run to Four Peaks here in AZ last night. Didn't get any pictures on the trail, just a quick shot of the group before we headed out.

 

I went to Turkey Bay in KY at LBL. Trails were a bit muddy from the rain over the last few days but still had a good time.



Check out a few of the videos. My wife recorded me going up the hill. She still needs to learn to record from the side. The other video was one of a Jeep trying to cross a puddle...poor guy...

I just left P Cola, But you have the beaches! Man I miss those sandy beaches, the water, and the easy flying.

 

Anza Borrego mud caves, coral wash, Borrego springs. Stumbled across Diablo Dropoff but didn't go down it because I was by myself.

Trying to figure out how to post a video from my iPhone of recovering a 2wd Dodge Ram from soft sand.

 

Is that ram a 2wd?

 

Yea

 

Rode the MS River levees yesterday and checked out the flood level at my hunting camp. Water got pretty high plus its fun to cruise the levee in my truck

 

Hey kashtyaatsi, I was in Moab over the weekend as well. Popped the 2017 Pro's cherry. This truck is an absolute machine. I was in 4-Lo most of the time and used the rear lockers a bit. I still can't figure out what exactly MTS is all about. Tested out Crawl Control to see what it could do, but 4-Lo seemed to rule the day. There are two noticeable issues with the Pro. First, was that clearance on the Pro is an issue, and second, the front hood, which is sexy, but totally obstructed my view of trail.

I'm curious what suspension your running, what size tire are your rolling and did you have any clearance issues? Also, how is the view with Taco OR's hood?

I assume the pics you took were on Hell's Revenge? I didn't make it to Hell's Revenge on this trip. I had a lot of anxiety with the clearance issues. I did do Porcupine 4X4 Trail, which led me to Fin's 'n Things. Fin's 'n Things was tremendous. I managed to get through without any major issues but had to modify a few of the obstacles on the course (put rocks and tree parts in some of the drops so my @ss end wouldn't drag).

I didn't take any sexy pics like you did, but I'll post up a few tomorrow.

I wish I would've seen you in Moab. I didn't see any Tacos on the trails. Only Tacos with mountain bikes in tow.

 

I have 2.5 inch lift with 33's and always drag the hitch when in moab. It's been able to take beating. Yeah, the hood can be an issue at times. Need to learn to plan lines a bit ahead of time and having a spotter is nice. It was hell's revenge. It's all we had time for cause we were mostly riding.

 

the only beaches I have are covered with spring breakers and snow birds...they really frown upon driving over them. I know st Augustine and places on the coast you can get a permit. My wife's last duty station was Pensacola

 

As mentioned earlier. I spent the weekend in Moab and brief moment in Canyonlands on the Schafer Trail. If you've never been there, then you definitely need to put it on your bucket list.

The campsite is in the Manti-La Sal National forest. The next five are in Moab on the Prcupine 4X4 trail and Fin's 'n Things. The last two are on the Shafer Trail in Canyonlands. The Shafer trail is a 45 mile trek that takes you back to Moab with some great scenery.

 

Went to Pismo. Dunes are always fun!

 

Took my family out riding near Joshua Tree. Only did the dirt in and out in the truck. Trailer towed well. Friends of the family are fucking crazy

I can handle my batshit crazy friends about once a year. Gotta love 'em!

 

"So what were you doing immediately prior to the suspension getting crushed?"

 

Bend, Oregon (China Hat OHV) area. Memorial Day weekend. This place is a god-dammed playground!
