NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Can't believe I had to work this weekend. I wanted to go badly.

 

Great pics. I wish a was up there with you. I had a birthday gathering for my daughter. You guys are cool, but I wouldn't miss her Bday for anything.

 

Just kidding!
It was fun being the only 1 of 2 first gen Tacomas

 

Were the trails that you guys went on 4x4 only or would they be friendly to my prerunner?

 

You'd be fine with a prerunner

 

It was great meeting all of you guys, the weather was great. Here's a couple of the photos I was able to get. Looking forward to next time.

 

2wd mudding happened.

Who needs 4wd when it can be done in 3wd? I also want to put blame on Ben for this. He started the day out early with beer, and I caved to his peer pressure to drink with him before I started this little offshoot.

Thanks Ben.

 

Now I wish I went looks like it was a lot of fun
sucks being a prerunner driver some days

 

Jill took a pic on the way up that highlights the steepness of the last bit:



Sorry I missed hanging with you guys.

 

I think someone had their go-pro running. We will see what they do with it after editing. That corner with those damn rocks sticking out was kind of sketch going up the hill. Down, it wasn't so bad.

 

As I recall, a certain someone walked-up and offered me a beer. That same certain someone joined me in the drinking of a single beer (since we DO NOT advocate drinking and wheeling).

As far as the 3-wheel motion goes, I say we chalk it up to Zach having bigger balls than the rest of us. He was just eager to prove that you don't need a lift or mud tires to have fun while wheeling, but a good approach and spotter is sometimes advised

His truck is a testament to how capable a "mostly stock" Taco can be.

 

If he had his way, it would have rolled. He was one touch of the throttle away from going ass over... Good thing there was a large berm there to stop his fall down the hill.

 

Yup, it was teetering pretty bad. Thus, the importance of a good approach or waiting for a spotter to help out.

 

I had my GoPro going, but I made a stupid choice of not checking to make sure it was actually going. I have some video though that I will check out when I get a bit more time. I am fairly sure I have from where we stopped and ate lunch (the first stop) up to where we all turned around and returned to eat.

 

Ken was spotting me telling me which way to go and I went faster than his signals. Also, I wasn't on the throttle once I got my nose in there, more of letting off the brakes.

I did tell Brady out there that the more stressed out I get in life, the bigger my balls get when wheeling.

 

I didn't even have time to put my hands in the air and your driver rear tire was off the ground. I was like shiiiit. You handled it like a boss though. Super good at keeping your cool, I like it.

 

Plus, sometimes its more fun to get crazy...

 

careful what you wish for, lol

 

Is that u lurking in the right corner there Michael? :instigator:

 

Looks like that first gen needs more lift...I understand that need very well. At least he is out there having fun even if it means breaking things a little.
