Gallagher trip 2024

There should only be one way to the lake, unless you are talking about the lower jeep trail that meets up with the main trail and if so, take that as it is more technical/fun.

 

Yes I was talking about the jeep trail.

 

100% go the jeep trail

 

do you mean the rocky forest road vs. the lower part of the trail? we stayed on 4W301 all the way up. Going back home we took that rocky forest road back to the main road.

 

Do you mean the Tacoma trail?

 

Yes

 

This seems like a bit of fun. Would I have any trouble with a stock OR? Did a date get finalized? Let me know!

 

Should be good to go unless the trail is in considerably worse condition from last year.

 

when I was up there recently a stock height 3rd gen was with us and there was two spots he just had to take the right line to keep a rock from getting hung up on his axle. Not a problem.

 

Definitely interested. I'll keep an eye out for the date.

 

This made it up there.

 

That thing is badass

 

I have a little video of it when he started it and left. Kinda cool hearing the 2stroke sounds. If I remember right he bought it in Alaska, pretty rare because of what it is let alone right hand drive and grey. I think he said it was one of 14 and 1 of 3 survivors. He knew what he had and loved to talk about it.

 

He ruts aren’t as bad as last year. But there is more rock exposed than last year take your time and you should be fine. It was more technical going down as you can’t see over the hood.

 

Go lower it’s smoother the upper is just annoying and rocky. Went that way down.

 

LFGallagher!

so ready for this

 

Agree on slow down. A front camera may be in my future.

 

@TomHGZ

 

I’m in. We just put a 3rd Gen 8.75” OR axle under my 2nd Gen (much due to @Shadowhunter ‘s knowledge of rear brakes), and it needs to be tested.

Sept. 28-29?

 

Wish I was going. But I’m stuck in Tennessee with covid. Hopefully be back on the road in a couple days. Stopping at ECGS to get new gears.
