im in mississippi next week till the 4th any trucks in the laurel and bay st. louis areas?

 

I'm cross posting this from mississippi-mud

It's the easy ride. Here's the original thread: http://mississippi-mud.com/Thread-Easy-Ride-Aug-4th-2012 , but note that you can only see it if you are registered on ms-mud



Last year's thread, for reference: http://mississippi-mud.com/Thread-2011-7-30-Easy-Ride-3rd-annual

It is time to do another "Easy Ride". An Easy Ride is exactly that; an easy trail ride that is aimed at those who want to see what they can do with their 4wd vehicle without tearing it up.
An Easy Ride is also where we take to time to ask and answer the most basic questions. There will be live demonstrations of reading terrain, vehicle prep, vehicle control, driving techniques, and proper use of accessory equipment.
We typically cover winch, Hi-Lift jack, and shovel use. I am open to other demonstrations as well.

This will be a day ride. [size=medium]We will meet at Busy Bee truck stop in Laurel, MS at 9:00 AM on Saturday, August 4th[/size]
If you are on Interstate 59, take exit 96B Cook Ave, then head south on highway 15.



We will eat lunch out on the trail. We will be eating chili dogs, of course. :msn-wink: (Provided by Mississippi-Mud.com) Bring your own drinks (non-alcoholic) and snacks.
[size=medium]Bring a folding chair for each person in your party.[/size]

Suggested gear: Strong front and rear tow points and a working C.B. radio. (not mandatory for this ride, but highly recommended)

If you have never been on an organized ride, this is the one you don't want to miss.
If you are an experienced off-roader, you are also welcome, of course. Our goal is to educate and to have a fun-filled day on the trail.
Bring the family. It will be a nice outing for all ages.

All vehicles must be road legal, registered and insured. Drivers must be have a valid drivers license. We will be on federal land and subject to all motor vehicle laws. If you have any questions in this regard, PM me.

Check this first post from time to time for updates and further details.

This ride is open to all clubs and organizing sites, so please feel free to post this elsewhere. Also, please note that this Trail Rides forum is not visible to unregistered guests. This is not done to be arrogant. It is done to protect our riding areas.

 

ill post in this one too just in case. If prerunners can do the trail ride no problem I would love to go if I'm available. It sounds like a great experience.

 

If I'm off that weekend I'm going to try and make it.

 

I have to help mom do stuff and get ready for our vacation all this week so I highly doubt I'll be able to go.

 

you do realize the ride is for august 4, so you have another 5 weeks

 

Anybody from the Mize area on here?

 

Got the new "shoes" in for my truck. Now, hopefully tomorrow will get my Toytec Ultimate lift in. Then hopefully will have installed this week along with some pics. They are 285/75/16

 

Prerunners can go. I had a 99 prerunner when I joined ms-mud. If you have the locker you shouldn't have any problems. If you don't you might be pulled a couple times but that's no big deal.

That'll be awesome. I'd love to see a ton of tacomas on this ride. There always seems to be a huge amount of jeeps. I'm tired of it

You got time man lol

 

That is a FINE truck!!

 

Didn't realize it was in August lol I should be able to go then! I'll see what I can do!

 

Looking for the best place around the Jackson area to have a lift put on. I've heard some mixed reviews about some of the places around here. I have a good place to have one installed in AL, but I'm hoping to find somewhere local that I can trust to have it done right. Any suggestions?

 

Luter's in Laurel is very good. Not sure how far is too far...

I didn't even think about them. I've been there a couple times.

 

Just had my lift installed at Toyota of Hattisburg today. It is a bit pricey, however, Jarrett & Paul, are very meticulous. Am happy so far with it. My truck drove nicely the hour & a half back home. Was very satisfied.

 

I'm in the poplarville area for the time being. Just visiting fam though.

 

More pics in my gallery!
Sunny picture is stock
Rainy picture is with Toytec Ultimate Lift

 

Looking to have a meet and greet in Hattisburg if anyone is interested. Got a thread started

 

anyone down in biloxi?

 

link? I can make it to Hattiesburg. Doesn't look like I can make it to the other meet. not enough gas money
