2013 T.A.C.O. Moab Gathering OFFICIAL photo thread.

Same difference. Haha

 

At least you rolled where you did. Definitely could have been a lot worse!

 

so we can count you in for a return trip in 2014?

 

Oh ya. Way worse. Hell if I'd have gone off the other side would probably died..

Hopefully. My dad wants to come too. It'll greatly depend on the dates as he works in AK and I do too in the summer so..have to see I gues.

 

you know what dates you'll be unavailable?

 

No not off the top of my head. Could find out though..have to ask my dad. He just left for AK for another hitch.

 

keep me posted...nothing is set in stone yet...we'll ramp up the planning in the next couple months so dates are still up in the air

 

Will do buddy

 

Just throwing this out there, but Idaho State end May 9th. I imagine most the the other universities around end around this same time +/- a week.

 

Lol oh no definitely not getting into a pissing match at all. Just thanking you for reminding me about the hot tubs. Well maybe I will get lucky when I go and there won't be any water in them lol

 

Ha ha yeah my wheelbase + top weight = I bought new seats last year lol

 

Colorado State's last finals day is May 16.

 

I don't get done with teaching until the 30th. it screwed me this year too.

 

Adam. After more thought I agree and will be skipping Pritchett until I get a front locker as well.

 

I'm with what Jberry said. It's about having fun. My point regardling claiming you've done a trail when you really haven't reminds me of a guy on another offroad forum a few years ago that posted up a trail report about how he "conquered" the Rubicon trail. Yeah I think he even used the word "conquered". The guy was driving a Hummer H2. I was skeptical as soon as I saw that. I kept reading only to find out that the guy had driven from the Tahoe side in to the overlook at the top of Cadillac Hill. Anyone familiar with the Rubicon trail knows that the section this guy "conquered" is basically the exit trail (if run in the typical direction) and is mostly a dirt road with a few rocks scattered around. Not by any stretch of the imagination did this guy run the Rubicon trail or have any right to such claim.

So by all means go out and have fun. If that means you winch every obstacle, that's cool, but I wouldn't come home and post all over facebook and on all the message boards claiming to have "conquered" the trail, but that's just me. Hell there are even trails that I think winching still counts. When I had to winch my FJ40 up the waterfall on Helldorado, there is no way you can tell me I didn't run that trail because I took a winch at the end. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

 

Adam whats your thoughts an lx450 making it through Pritchett on 37's locked front and rear

 

I've seen it done. Definitely doable. Couple spots are sketchy for a top heavy truck like a LX450 but totally doable. Rockpile will probably need a winch.

(Especially the waterfall part.) haha
