2018 Nor Cal Wheeling, Camping and BS

Yeah fucked it up good. Last we heard That other dude in the sas’d Toyota was dragging him over the rocks with a broken driveline and crushed rockers. Truck got fucked up!

 

That dude was a dumb ass, but I'm glad he left us with a solid story!

 

That’s the 4th level of fun type stuff.

 

almost as stupid as the guy yelling "hammer down bitches, lets break some shit" and then snaps his axle less than 5 min into the trail

 

That’s different. Didn’t you have a spare axle? You just did it for the practice of swapping CV’s.

 

I knew i liked you...lol

 

Went to slick rock/lake alpine this weekend and had awesome time! One of the best trails I have been too. Lake Alpine camping area was packed due to fires/closure in Yosemite area.

@Motofox @Twizted Here is the run down of trail limo as I promised last week.: I took my trail limo on slick rock and I was able to go everywhere those little jeeps went without any problem. I don't know why people complain about long beds on trails, but I didn't find it difficult to maneuver on trail at all and no I didn't take any bypasses either. There were only couple of spots where I had to back up and pick a different line, but other than that no issues what so ever. LB or SB you will need protection before you head out to any rocks and I definitely used my sliders and skid plates. As a matter of fact, I used sliders to my advantage few times. For example, there is one big infamous boulder that we had to go through and every single jeep (2 door or 4 door) rubbed on it no matter what. Since, I had rear diff cover I chose to use that section to slide over the rock and there was a dead tree in the front on left hand side so I couldn't go straight and had to turn right and I used the sliders to push my truck to left. Long story short, sliders came in handy (see pics below).
And YES I did go with all the Jeep guys lol

 

Hell yeah man, hell yeah

@Don5352 I was really worried about messing up my stem valve after you messed yours up, so I took extra Colby valves as they were mentioned on this forum. But, I must say that I am very impressed with @SCSPerformance rims. They sure took beating(see pic) but valve steam was protected. Also, I am very happy with Nitto ridge grapers. In my opinion they are much better then any other brand of tires I have had on Tacomas.
Edit: I think it was Rob @rob1208 who mentioned Colby stem system. Thank you very much and I really appreciate it!
Edit: Added few more pics and I wanted to give a shout out to @JLee for making the best armor. I don't regret one bit for supporting a local guy and having the beffiest armor on my truck. By the way Jerry thanks for recommending getting kick outs on long bed sliders they came in really handy on this trip!

 

The infamous tree...lol

 

Once I get a winch we might have to winch that tree out lol

 

No flex zone. Deer valley is where it’s at bois.

 

I thought about chopping it....but i explained to my son....many years from now when he wheels that trail he will tell his buddies what an idiot his pops was....good times

 

nice plate....

 

so sexy!

 

Bro, you owned that trail. Super impressed how you lead that trail without a spot.
