SOTEC || Newbie Run 101, Saturday Aug 23rd, 2025

How easy/hard will 'childhood' be? Can it be run without sliders?

 

From what I have seen on the of4wd maps and info it’s rated as easy, I’m not going to be running sliders, but I haven’t run in that area since early 2000’s with a good spotter and caution I’m sure you could avoid any damage to your truck. That’s just my opinion not advice.

You should be okay without sliders for infancy & childhood, but if you need a body shop next week we know a guy

 

This always reminds me of the best thing I've read on here - it was in someone's profile signature I believe - it said something like:
You guys always break the most shit when you go for 'just a leisurely drive on some dirt roads'

 

I will never forget doing the swift back when it was open 3hr run and we made it out in 11hrs

Basically this

 

Cool! I'll bring my Ferrari!

There are some changes on route and meet-up location. Camp spots have been added too in case you'd like to camp with us.

When you arrive there, look for your desired trail group and let your trail leader know you'll be riding with them.

Having a GMRS radio (walkie talkie) is very useful, try to get/borrow one.

Drive safe and we will see you there!

 

I have a spare radio if anyone in the Childhood group needs one.

 

I’m out. Have fun everyone!
Thanks @Trdtacosauce for organizing and everyone else who is trail leading!
