July 31 - August 3rd (long weekend) Big Overland Outdoor Buzz Search,

Thought this was a group trip.

Racing from spot to spot is not what everyone generally wants to do.

 

See how this all pans out when we get there. Worst case we can always split the group up. Easy peasy.

 

This is what I expect to happen, it will be much easier this way.

 

@tacoma16

I'm 3" front with eibachs, 3.5" rear with Land Cruiser 8.5 Wraps. 33" tires. Snorkel and extended breathers. no sway bars. Factory skids.

NO SLIDERS

If trail #93 is too aggressive for a truck with no sliders I'll opt out for a side trail and meet you at the end.

Sliders are a pain in the ass on 1st gen tacos and 3rd gen 4runners. They're weld on.

 

Absolutely. Everything is flexible!

all good! Everything is flexible so if you feel the trail isn’t for you we can figure it out. I am always willing to go with anyone to do something else. @Norilsk is out for blood but not everyone is into that. So no worries, no one gets left behind or left alone on the trail.

 

No problem, #93 is no worry.

 

It is, most of the group knows how to cover trails at a relatively good speed. Nobody is racing. From all I seen and heard (people that went with you last time) it's a walk in the park, but I hope there are surprises out there

 

Again I am thankful for being able to join the group. Looking forward to this well needed group trip..
U.S.A.-U.S.A.Ooooooooooooooo-Cannn-a-daaaaaaaa.....

oh and I like surprises too....

 

Ya I figure theres enough trails that we can bypass if we need to. I'm no noob but this will be my first excursion with technical trails.

I'll learn what my next mods are for the old girl during this trip.

Really looking forward to this! Girlfriend and I will being bringing our DSLRs so we will be sure to get some great action shots for all of you

 

Trail #21 is what I wanted to do as a hard trail, up to the lookout. We can do it on Sunday.

The VMUTS map does not have it listed as hard, but the route we take on it is difficult.

 

Listed as moderately difficult. I'm sure with good spotting we can get everybody through

 

Yea the ratings for the trails are way off, they are ratings for 4wheelers. So with trucks on the same trails sometimes its easier, sometimes its harder.

 

We have a couple winches between the group. Should be good.

 

Got my shocks today and installing tomorrow. See you Friday in Ardbeg.

FYI I'm likely going to head back Sunday after our trail day. Im told I need a day at home with the little Misses on Monday.

 

I'm with ya, I might bail Sunday night or stay and leave in the AM.

 

When it comes to a Vmuts trail pass, is everyone paying by credit card from the Vmuts site? I usually use paypal and the site dose not seem to have it. Just asking because its always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to credit cards..

 

I agree with paypal. I always use it if available.

CC on the vmuts site has been fine for me over the years.

 

Paid CC last year and no issues.

 

Moved my rear scene lights back so I can use it as a chase light. Was thinking if wireing one up for the weekend but they were there all along.

 

So I was doing my rear diff breather today I figured I would drain the diff and check for any water, my fluid is supposed to be this colour right? I just reused it
