Spent this morning roaming around Manastash. I would like to put a feeler out there to see how many people would like to do a group run up there.

I figure around 5 trucks, and do about a 20 mile loop. Going from easy - moderate, depending on if it’s wet there may be a spot or two that would be a brief challenge. I would say the only thing you need at a minimum would be sliders (definitely if your a long bed), and maybe skids plates. Heres a screen capture of the track starting at the lower orange dot going up to and following the blue track.

It took me about 3.5 hours to run the blue track this morning stopping for lunch for about an hour and stopping for the views of Manastash lake and the moon rocks. So, I think in total starting at the low road it would take about 5 hours to run the loop. Here’s a look at the lake, not the best overlook but the only one I stopped for

There’s some fun little climbs and ledges to get some cool pics on from time to time.

I’m open to dates but I’m thinking sometime between mid September and October. (Before opening rifle season).

You’ll definitely get pinstripes!

I know a lot of you are on the west side so if we did it on a Saturday, if you wanted to come this way on Friday I have 3 acres you can camp at my place which is only a couple miles from the start.

Here’s just a few cell pics from today:

Let me know if you would be interested.

Depending on date's I would be up for a run.

Hey guys, just wondering if there are members here from Bothell, wa that could help a brother out,
I'm traveling from Chicago area and would like to just have a place where I can just do a quick oil change before I keep traveling. Yes I could go to and oil place but I rather do it myself and I have my own oil.
I've seen tons and tons of cool toyotas around here and im assuming they have to be members.
We don't see this many build yotas in Illinois mostly jeeps so is nice to come to a place we're I feel I belong even thou I also have a jeep just not street legal.
Thanks fellas.

I'm in Maltby/Woodinville area, pretty close to Bothell if you need somewhere to change some oil. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.

Let me know what dates work for you, we’ll see how many of them cross each other. I’m literally free every weekend I figured I would leave it up to the guys that want to go and pick a date most had available

My mom lives in Bothell and has her own private driveway, but it is gravel, so less than fun to roll around in for the oil change. I can ask her, and she would probably be fine with you coming by.
If you have everything for the oil change, you can probably get away with doing it in the parking lot of an auto parts chain like autozone or o'Reilly. There is also a walmart on 164th, that is technically a Lynnwood address, and a little north of bothell that nobody would look twice at somebody changing their oil in the parking lot

Sounds like a great time. I'd be in as well but I need to finish fixing and tiling my bathroom floor.

It's there any dispersed camping near there? Stock truck friendly? Looking for a backup if we get can't get a spot backpacking next weekend. Promise I won't eat to many huckleberries.

@bobsuruncle
Come Tuesday (my first day off) I'm going to try to run the first part in my 'diesel heater in a hard case' build. Wish me luck!
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4271686
I have to run most of these parts but scaled up a bit for a larger heater.

Wyckedan · Aug 30, 2020

I had quite the day. 20 miles outside of Packwood tire decided it was time to retire. Great way to discover the special socket for the lugs didn't fit any tool in had with me (I definitely should have checked that a long ass time ago) and the stock bottle jack wasn't remotely tall enough. Sketchy ass highlift and the old rusty tools of a gracious stranger saved my fuckin ass today. Super glad I had a full size spare.

Time to buy new tires I guess. Was hoping to get a CMC and do 285s soon, but the situation dictates 255s I suppose

Sliders if you care about your doors and bedsides lol. The odd thing is i didnt hit my stock skid plate but i did drag my diff over some rocks. Noticed some scratches on it while changing my rear diff fluid this morning. Found out fall quarter doesn't start until the 21st, maybe i could make it out there again, that trail was really fun.
