Gorman Tacoma Meet Jan 21st!! Come on out!!

My steering rack made a noise after jumping not any more. Maybe its low on fluid. Blew off a rear bumpstop i added. No big deal. Too bad i couldnt transmit sound off my Cb radio only receive.

 

Armen;What is up brah?How's the baby?Sorry for the 21,you should come next time!!!

 

BAMFFF!!!

 

Seriously. Never knew a 5lugger could mash that hard. Soooo bamf. Romped harder than all of us combined. He needs a gopro...

 

I did hear that too after you were jumping, we need everyone to have CBs when we go out so we dont have to keep stopping to update everyone.

 

Dude fuck that peppermint schnapps haha

 

You gunna have your pictures up soon Tyler? How'd they turn out?

 

You definitly need to come out with us again next time man since you didnt get to trail very much. And I mean this in the nicest way possible and dont want to offend you or your friends, but maybe next time not invite the truck that's going to get stuck, so it doesnt hold you back from having fun, you know what I mean?

 

Thanks onesixseven. Should see what I can do with a proper set up on a truck. It was definitely a killer day & great meeting everyone.

 

Damage report. That sound i ketp hearing was sand and small. Rock in my bell housing. That was a fun trip and good group. We all need to do a trip type run out to death valley or ballarat! I know some 4x4 only trails out there. But i bet steve in his 5 lung could make it. Guys crazy.

 

Glad to hear that John. Your truck is indestructable. And if you look at the vid, the water was definitly higher than we thought, you can see it at the door handle in the passanger side mirror.

 

This thread so much winning BAMF!!!

Thanks Jon, I take pride in it.

My damage report, Juust the front light bar & dug a rock out of my trans cross member that was inside ratteling.

My little 5 lugger rocked it.

 

The constant stopping was the only down side to the run. I will have a CB the next time out. But the video & photo ops were also being used as reasons to stop. Not that I am complaining about the video & pics. I am not, I love seeing all of it, but, runs like that the pics & vids should be a little more coordinated to decrease the stopping. 1 in back & 1 in front for the runs & the 1st 2 up a hill do a shoot.

Another little tip about mulit truck runs, The 2 wheelers should be out front or towards the front. It's difficult to trail behind the 4 wheelers that tend to use all 4 to pull up a hill & tend to drive slower & to have a 2 wheeler behind that is trying to do it tends to have more problems. The 2 wheelers need to have the space to blast it.

 

Ill do em tonight for sure man! I haven't really scoped em out yet, and there aren't a million but idk, you'll see I guess.

 

Have't really seen anywhere anyone posting about how my little 5 lug put a Ford Ranger to shame. on the 1st decent hill.
Sorry, just thought that should have been one of the hilights.

 

U know man, I hadn't realized my buddys ranger was gonna have such a hard time. Its alright, he kinda got wind that he can't really do all that with a stock truck. So next time, I'll probably only bring one of my buddies, and I promise it won't be the bronco or the ranger -_- haha btw I wanna go this weekend. My lift is scheduled to be installed Tuesday, full king coilovers set at 3.5 and total chaos uca's, id like to take em to that jump and see how they do. After talking for a long time with the guys at oru, they swear this setup is fully capable of jumping. And its lifetime warrantied on parts and labor sooooo....... I'm willing to try pretty much whatever haha

 

Haha it was definitely noted. Dude I can't wait to see the full vid of everything. And I'll be keeping my eyes out for u guys around the house. Ur truck is pretty easy to spot haha

 

Hey onesixseven, Just remember, it's all about being out there having fun & giving eachother a little greif here & there. It's all in fun & if certain trucks get stuck or can't make it, that's all part of the fun. Even if a base model 5 lug 4 banger 2 wheel drive with stock suspension & tires, put a Ranger to shame, it's all in fun & part of being out there wheeling.

 

if you plan to be hucking the truck or using the full travel you need to strap the front end. otherwise you will blow out your coil bucket.

also, you do not want to have the front end set @ 3.5" lift, it will ride like shit and you'll have no down travel
