Three Feathers to Chiva Falls - October 20th-22nd, 2017

Back at it again for a full camping trip on the Chiva Falls Trail! This time would be quite a bit larger, and with all sorts of Yotas We packed up a couple trucks and left late Friday afternoon to secure a camp spot. Here we have my buddy Ryan showing off his battle scars from the prerun


Had to grab some grub before heading out so we hung out with Alex @05tacomabro and he was kind enough to supply us with a ridiculous amount of firewood! Thanks again man


From there we were off and it was time for a Night Run Gotta love that big ass decal on Ryan's Tundra!


Our campfire for the night, pretty cool backed right up to the wash walls in the sand. Perfect way to end the evening after a long work week! Now it was time for a full day of adventure.


A beautiful start to the day and perfect view from my morning "duties" #shitemoji


Jamie @JTS2014TACO and Nick in the T4R joined us late the night before so they could start the day with us.






Once we were up and ready to roll, @PLC721 and Ryan left their trucks at camp and jumped in with me since we would be taking on 3 Feathers. This would also be my first time ever attempting it from the harder route going from the bottom, and climbing up the obstacle @PLC721 hooked me up with some cool action shots on the way there






FLEX!




3 FEATHERS!

To be Continued...

 

That SDHQ hat with the flowers your wife has is LIT!

edit: love the trip report/pics as always too

 

Do you plan on doing any retrofit headlights?

 

Yes, just havent sat down and put thought into yet... gotta do better than my tacos haha

 

Hell yes. Panamera switchbacks would look great on your build. Sub'd.

 

They really would but so many tundras already running the panameras. I'm looking for something unique again, gotta change the game

 

If only I could fit 35"s without a lift on my 18 Tundra with 20" factory wheels, cause I dont own one them fancy TRD PROs Truck is looking damn good! SWCMFTW!

 

haha thanks man!

 

Three Feathers to Chiva Falls - Continued

Continuing on from my second successful climb to date on the almighty 3 Feathers, I was feeling pretty good. Rinzler struggled in 2WD, but with enough skinny pedal I made it. Tron in 4LO was just too easy, and helped me realize I have the perfect setup height-wise to take on the most extreme trails I'm comfortable doing in this limo All that's needed to make it absolutely perfect is a @Pelfreybilt Hi-clearance rear bumper also maybe some air lockers... Nonetheless, my heart was content for the day, and the goal was to meet up with the rest of the group coming out that morning. I would lead the less brave trucks back to camp through the easier 2WD route and Alex @05tacomabro would lead the other half back down 3 Feathers. This plan was perfect in theory as we were right on time when all of a sudden just as Jamie @JTS2014TACO flawlessly finished 3 Feathers...."Uh oh, your ICON broke!"....




Pretty crazy the brand new RXT Rear shock broke that way, definitely worthy carnage on the trail. We just pulled the shock and Jamie ran the rest of the day with 3 shocks Since this slowed us down abit I sped ahead to meet the rest of the group, and it wasn't long before we realized Alex talked EVERYONE into coming down the harder 3 Feathers route haha. You know, the exact trail we just almost completed I was surprised to see everyone worked up the courage, but it ended up making the trip that much better. We did a 10 point turn and were back on the trail with the main group



Monster Tundra!


I love this FRONT CAMERA!


My buddy Christian rocking his Tundra with a stock bumper gave me flashbacks to my first time out there with Tron haha...



You can see his drone flying way above him


And then a view from his drone back at me haha


Now that we were all lined up at the top, it was time to head back down 3 Feathers Thanks to @JTS2014TACO for more pics










Then Christian making his way down, I think I was sweating more than him at this point


Another Drone shot of the traffic jam


With no more carnage, everyone made it to camp! Jamie successfully ran up and down 3 Feathers with only 3 Shocks Good job buddy


After a quick lunch break at camp we continued on to Chiva Falls. These pics taken from Christian's DJI Mavic Pro and the video are so expensive!! haha obviously because I now have to buy one...




@freddy2923 @Brindybot








Superwhite FTW!




"Friends don't let friends eat farmed fish" @05tacomabro


And one last Drone shot to finish off the Awesome Trip! Thanks to everyone that came out!

 

Great pics brotha! Was a great run! Loved watching you guys in your full sized rigs! We should keep this going as an annual run.

 

Haha 3 feathers is now called 3 shocks as far as I'm concerned.

 

We definitely should and definitely plan a monsoon month trip so we can check out the falls while they're raging!

Yep, I shall call it 3 shocks from now on in your presence haha and the story will be brought up every time we run it

 

Truck is looking killer.

 

Heard you'e coming out for the poker run in Jan next year...

 

I’ve only told 2 people about that..how the hell did you find out? where you been...i called you months ago lol

 

I have my ways...
Been around. Started my company, helping get another company off the ground, and tinkering on the runner to get it caught up to Stefen, Jerry, and Jaime

 

Always keeping tabs...
That’s good.
