Oregon and Washington BS thread

Here's a bit better idea, the sig cuts things off. I should have also mentioned that I could have gone around... but I gave a good smack on the gas and went through the middle If I took it slow it probably wouldn't even been as deep as the bottom of the axle.



I'm far more concerned with snow levels and slickness.

I'm NEVER in a hurry. I don't care how long we take as long as it's safe. If I didn't see 3 vehicles go before me, I would have stopped everything and performed the stick test on that puddle.

What prevents you from sucking in buttloads of sand?

 

Here's my expectations:






And this is the only part that really worries me. In the pic, the guy wasn't watching the road and veered to the right, but it took a winch to get him back on. I ran stock tires and made it fine.

we can always drive out there and turn right back around as well if we aren't feeling good about it. I'm probably the first one who says no to things.

 

Alright Mike, you talked me into it... damn you! haha The problem is I just spent about $80 changing fluids out on my difs & transfer case a couple weeks ago and don't want to water it down.

I take it we are still meeting at cornhole pass freddy's around 9am?? I will need to get a pass... Wheres the best place to pick one up on that side of town??

 

Most places are going to be closed until 9am.

If you can grab one tonight, I think Cedar Mountain Cycles in Molalla is going to be closest.

If you need one day of, we can try Motosport of Hillsboro. Like I said, the Shell station tends to run out.

 

I forgot about portland cycle by the airport... I ran over there really quick and picked one up! I will meet up with you guys in the morning... I'm bringing a come-along, a strap or two, basic tool kit, compressor, gloves and the usual shit.

 

I'm on my way to pick up a Permit just in case I go tomorrow.

 

i need to try and pick up a map. Trying to find your way around the park sucks, even with the map, and the GPS doesn't have the trails on it. Always a hassle, meh.

 

sounds like we dropped two, both of who changed their minds, and also added a 5th?

anyways I'll be at fred meyer in the am so look forward to seeing you all there. Sounds like everyone is bringing some minor recovery as well as some tools extinguishers etc. I'm going to leave my tools considering the size of my set and no external tool box, as long as someone doesn't mind the very slight possibility of use. Anyways, glad this has come together. I'll check back later and see what others have to say. I'm also going to see if I can find my map of tsf or something online.

cheers

 

Went to Accessory Outfitters by 185th and they were all out of permits. Was on my way to Honda Yamaha off Hwy 217 but traffic was horrible so I said screw it..was not meant to go tomorrow. You guys have fun. Take pictures if you guys can.

Mike..take them to the tree where you can drive under it and take poser pix!!



My old Taco

 

My good ol 1st TSF run in June of 06 with TTORA. Was 13 trucks and the ranger(white truck on far right) checked us for the permits so be sure you got yours!!

 

Hey all. New to this forum, but I've been on TTORA for awhile and heard about your run today on there. I'm going to try to make it.

Here's how the snow has been the last three weekends.

Last weekend.



and the weekend before


and the weekend before that


I'll have a tow strap, chain, snatch block, hi-lift, winch, Browns Camp map, wrenches, sockets, shovel, spare cv, etc.

 

Hey Bob. Glad to see you on here. I'm mainly on here now that I'm back from socal and the oregon ttora is a ghost town. Wish I can make it tomorrow just to get out but I had no luck getting a permit today. Just means I gotta go some other time. Hopefully next time it will be as good of a turn out as this one.

Oh yeah, have fun on KOH!! Looks like it'll be fun as shit. Should check out the socal ttora folks if you and your buddies wanna hang out with them. I've met some of them and they're pretty chill folks.

 

Looks like a quite a bit of snow, as well as fun. haven't been to browns for a year or so and will be the first time up there with the tacoma. we'll see how it goes, hoping for a good day of some light wheeling. see everyone tomorrow.

 

Yea, the Oregon ttora is dead haha. Saw your post about the permit. That sucks. I ended up getting mine at the John Deere dealership in McMinnville.

I plan on checking out the socal guys at some point. Just depends on what's going on with the group I'm with.

 

Wow, wasn't expecting this run to generate so much turn out. Nice.


Nice to see you here Bobert14, I've seen some of your posts on TTORA. I think you are definitely going to be the most seasoned offroader, so if you don't mind I'll ask for you to take lead and help the rest of us.


Sorry about the permit, Joe. On the bright side, you don't have to put a gay pink sticker on your truck, lol.

 

Ha yeah when the lady pulled out the book of permits my first thought was "wonder what color they are now" FIGURES they'd be pink. Also glad to see a group of tacos should be good times.

 

Man if new about this run sooner id hit it with you guys. I'm in Portland for the weekend but I made plans with friends tomorrow.

 

Jlee, bring them with. The more the marrier.

 

to bad i did not know about this meet sooner i would go with you guys but i have to work hope every thing goes well. keep me posted on future meets thanks

 

Keep looking here, I try to keep it updated.
