How was Browns on Saturday?

 

I wasn't there, but heard it was pretty busy.

 

I came back past Browns on Saturday around 2pm. There was a line of trucks coming out and seen a few Tacoma's and 4 runners heading towards Brown's after I passed the Log Cabin

Be Safe..

Browns was fun! I didn't really take many pictures. Wasn't as crowded as it seemed like it was going to be after seeing all the peeps at chevron. There was a big group (70 rigs) doing a poker run. @Astr0Aar0n did a great job of keeping us from running into them too much.

We ended up five deep. @Astr0Aar0n, @pdxboomboom, @INSAYN, @INSAYN son with his old 1st gen, and myself.

Thanks again to @Astr0Aar0n for inviting us out.

Saw @th3clara at chevron and again at rogers, but didn't run into him on the trails.

 

Any of you folks find rock sliders locally? Obv trying to avoid shipping/ outsourcing.

 

Metaltech in Newberg.

 

@RTweet Nick who runs Adventure Fab is local to Vancouver. He has built a set of sliders for two Tacomas in my neighborhood. They look good. He also did a clean CMC on my truck. I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my vehicle to him again. You can message him via his Instagram.

Appreciate it!

 

Hey all. I got my Cap/Topper/Canopy a few weeks ago and finally getting around to see if i could get the brake lights to work. I been trying to search TW for what the adapter is called and about how much its would cost. After that i will have to figure out how to connect it. The cap is. Leer 180 if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance all.

 

Does anyone know if this is still a thing?

 

I went last month… it gets packed fast though… I thought I would be 15 mins early and I still parked in the lower parking area

 

Went up the larch mountain with my jeep friend again. Nobody ever says they are going up but I always see groups of Toyota’s out. ‍

 

Where’s Larch mountain at? Looks like a fun trail. Are your pics indicative of the difficulty? I’ve got stock suspension and want to get off the FS gravel roads but not into anything too technical yet.

 

I lack basic survival skills so I cant give you coordinates. Its about 45 mins NE of Vancouver Wa. It has fire roads all over and then random trails off to the sides. Wide range of trail difficulty. The first photo was the gate keeper for the trail in the second photo. If you can make it past the first part you can make the rest of it. Lots of way harder trails up there also

 

Thanks, a bit of a drive for me, but I have in-laws up that way, might be a good area to escape to on our next visit

 

FYI, there are 2 different Larch Mountains. There's an Oregon one and Washington one. The one with trails is the Washington one.

 

Considering doing a drive over Lolo and up Mt. Defiance or Bennet Pass on Columbus Day. Anyone else going to be out that way?

 

FYI if anyone is going to this the correct time is 9-11am

 

After a debacle with getting sand from the dunes in my eyes taking stuff apart and scratching my cornea, not being able to work for a few days with the truck in pieces, and then working around last weeks rain I got my shock relocation done last Friday.







Then I tested it out on a drive up cloudcap road to go play on the Eliot glacier this weekend before the road closes for the season. Super happy with how it turned out.

 

Took a nice drive from Bennett Pass Sno Park into Badger lake, fun 11 mile romp. Haven’t driven it in several years and the last time was in my 84 Toyota, big difference in the ride with my 17!
