Any Members in Arkansas?

Trail maintenance after the storm on November 4th to allow a stock Tundra to drive Payne Ridge Rd worked as planned. Today we took an extended cab Tundra from HWY 7 (Simpson) to Victor today without issue.

 

Bubs Cabin on Sunday. Waterfalls at the Indian Creek Campsite area.

 

That's a good campsite but last time I was there it had a bunch of broken down campers and 'Posted' signs on it. Have they been removed? I asked a ranger about the 'Posted' signs and he said some areas are able to be leased from the NFS and posted but these definitely did not look legit and I couldn't find anything online about being able to lease that specific spot.

 

It's been cleaned up.

 

Is that the larger creek side campsite that look like an RV pullout? I found another farther uphill on opposite side years back which has since faded and gotten over grown. Really not many options on that road.

 

It is. I heard there was an old RV there earlier in the year. That has been removed. There is a trail that goes up the hill from there more technical than the trail to the camp. I also hear there is a fairly rough trail that goes up to the site of an old still.

 

The camp is located at 35° 40.4343' N, 93° 8.4964' W

 

Is that a "family friendly" spot or do you have to worry about people coming through the woods with banjos claiming it's their territory?

 

Greetings from balmy Bentonville, the Taco got me to the office safe and sound this morning.

 

You get 20% more total mileage, so I guess it just depends on whether that's much more or not to you. 5 tire rotation is quicker for me than a 4 tire as I don't have to leave a wheel on a jackstand while I rotate tires. I've always done a 5 tire rotation to extend the time interval between buying tires. I'm also not surprised by a bad or missing spare when it comes time to need it since it gets rotated on a regular basis.

Last set of tires I took off my Tacoma had 60K miles on each tire, but I drove 75K miles on the set of 5. You go longer between buying, but you spend more to buy 5 new ones. Might be worth it if you plan to go to a different size anyway, or you can pick the best of the five to keep as a spare and just buy 4 new ones. I hate watching a full size spare on the same wheel as all the others rot from old age and never be used. I guess I'm cheap and like to use what I paid for.

They wear however they wear depending on your vehicle and driving style. 4 or 5 tire rotation won't affect individual tire wear. If your shocks are worn out and your alignment off, you're not driving long on a set regardless.

 

I never expected to see this from Jailbreak.

His Imogene Pass vid is classic. Sadly, he's right. My 80 was nothing like his, but mine now has a new home. Parts and money and time working on it all time got to be too much. Be interesting to see his take on that platform after he gets it out and dirty.

 

Took the Peel Ferry across Bull Shoals today

 

Rogers here, just traded my Jeep in for this 2023 TRD OR

 

Excellent

That front was wicked strong here. No lightning / thunder, but the rain and straightline winds, then in 10 minutes it was fairly calm. They should've waited to take off......

 

I am fairly certain those were CTEH folks headed to the Ohio derailment. Trying to confirm...
