Aiken/Augusta Meet Feb 19 @ Durhamtown Plantation

in, i'll be the one holdin everyone up with the pre runner......

 

trippin green....your comming??

 

jhodge......wat would be the best way to keep track of ppl that comming?? would it be a good idea to put there name and number like 1 2 3 and so on in my first post?

 

4wd and lockers in the old section is mandatory if it has rained in the past 7 days. It is extremely muddy, mulitple "steps" going downhill and bring quarters for the self serve car wash (on site). I would say meet up at 8-10am, register and pay fees. First trail run at 11am after airing down and pre-game check. Bring all your gear, you can take a line that normally takes 45 seconds in bone dry weather and turn into a 3 hour winch-fest.

I'm not a fan of mud becuase of the type of vehicle I have/drive and how it's setup, but I am down for d-town. If anybody has any questions about the place, please let me know and I can answer them best I can.

 

i dont mind going through some stuff but i am not going to ruin my truck and everything.....i didnt think it was going to be that muddy...when i talked to a guy on here he said that it was not that bad.

 

The newer section is much much better, it has mud, but not nearly as much. There is some off-camber work but nothing like RiverRock or Beasley Knob. It's mainly climbs and steep descents. If you know the fundamentals of wheeling and not standing on the brakes when you slide sideways towards something you will be fine. It really isn't as bad as it sounds, but it can get out of hand in a matter of seconds when it's muddy.
Look through the D-town album from last time and make your move...

Overall it's a great area, lots of fun, and plenty of activities. It's like a small offroad city (literally). Last time I killed a idler pulley, but it was a small price to pay for the fun I had. If you not afraid to get down and dirty, have some fun and wheel the shit out of your tacoma, I'd say it's a great oppurtunity to explore. Just don't get lost lol.

 

i know mud and everything comes off but my big thing is i have to sell my truck in about a year and a half or 2 and i know if you get alot of mud under the frame it is hard as hell to get out....i have never wheeled b4 though.....how did you kill the idler pully??

 

i know the frame stuff sounds like a wuss to but i paid alot for this truck and dont wanta mess it up...even my rims lol but i will go through stuff

 

Idler pulley failed after wading through a mud pit cuasing my belt to oscilate mud throughout the engine bay, mud got past the seals and got pulled into the pulley, it lasted 5 days exact and came apart before I shut it off with new pulley in hand, the belt fell down and didn't do any damage.

I understand, first time I had mine out I was scared. Now it's another day, there are bypasses to just about everything out there except in the old part (which I must go back and explore since we got lost for 3 hours and couldn't find anything). The old part is pretty muddy, but that's where the obstacle course are and really fun stuff. The new part has several fun places, including rock ledges, offcamber climbs, huge hills and lots of fun areas to enjoy. There are tons of trails, it would take you days to wheel all of them. My rig is 11 years old, dents and shit everywhere, bottom is scraped to high hell, D-town will be fine.

common sense and your steering wheel is your key to success out there.

 

just come out and get that fawking Tacoma baptized.

 

o yea im going to come lol...me and this guy came up with the idea im not going to let it pass lol.....i am just not going to do anything stupid....if mine was old i would do stupid stuff....can prerunners make is cuz i think this guy told me he was going to come....next were is the best place to meet in augusta for every1

 

pre-runners are 2wd right? is he on the forum?

 

yea its 2wd..... im going to stay in 2wd just to see what it will do till i need 4wd....yea he is but i think it was in a pm message....those pics dont like that bad i just know there are a couple i would not do like the one were your front end is about under lol.....the thing also is if you go slow and not crazy fast the mud will not get all over the body of the truck

 

slow is sometimes not an option

I'm in. Will I be the only Landcruiser?

 

I think so lol. I might get my buddies to come with there chevys and fords. Im excited to go. I will post in my first post who all is going for sure. Are you going to meet us in augusta?

 

Trippin green is the one with the prerunner. He is on this thread

 

no. I will meet you at D-town. Make sure your CB's (if you have them) are working well. You do not have cell service out there. CB's are the only way to get help/comm

 

I don't have one of those. Were going to stay as a group right or are you going to do your own thing?
