*Updated Info*November 7th Ocotillo Wells Run

^Right on!

 

Any of you campers thinking about bring out other toys?

 

Im glad you are gonna make it out Murph

 

Can't wait!

 

It will be fun. Im also trying to get my crew from socaltundras.com to roll out. Some of these guys got some crazy ass trucks.

 

You should sign up and post up in their forum. That's what i did to get word out to the FJ Cruiser peeps socalfjcruiserforums.com. Got one maybe on the list so far.

Did you get my pm's Randy?

 

i've been a member with them since 2006. Got one so far and a "maybe". Yes I did get your PMs. Thanks. I've wanted a map of Oco for a while. Looks like we might have a decent turnout for this. I can't wait. Im excited. How's things for you?

 

Oh ok that's cool! You should add them to the list and what site they are from. You should put that sig in your sig over there. Like you said "Gotta promote that shit yo!" Yea Steve sent me that map with the trail marked. The turn out definitely is looking good. Im pretty excited also. Should be MAD FUN out there! I think i will add that map with the trail marked out so people can see what we are doing.

Oh yea i'm voting for you to lead the run since it's pretty much for you if that's ok.

 

I dont know about leading the run. Maybe someone who knows the area better than me. I hardly know it, I've only been there like 3 times.

 

updated first page info - marked map of trail

 

i think socalman22(Steve) know's the area better than most.

 

He actually cheated! He had his cousin ride with him as his nav at the last one. Just bustin' your chops Steve! Maybe you could ask your cousin to join us again? Are you still a maybe Steve?

I mean i could do it, but would like someone with a little more experience leading. When I go out there i just usually follow, and that's on my quad and we take different routes to get to those places marked in the map. I may have some probs for when Shell Reef Expressway hooks up with that one trail that takes you to Pumpkin Patch and then down to Pole Line. But from the marked map it's pretty much washes and a straight shot the whole way through.

If anyone would like to step up to lead who knows the area well, by all mean step up. It would be greatly appreciated.

 

i think Steve is out for the weekend but i am sure he would not have a problem with it.

 

I don't think he would either.

You know everyone is gonna be jockin' you with your new LT

 

pfff ill keep up with steve out there. watch

 

I am going to try to make it out there with my truck and my quad. Right now I am 50/50 but I will let you all know as soon as I have more info. I know this route pretty well. It will be a good mix of Wide Open Prerunning, but also heading up to the pumpkin patch and around the cross over trail has a few little climbs and fun stuff you can play around with. If I can get there and bring my quad I will be down to lead everyone. With this type of terrian some people can easily get left behind, so I would reccomend we set up some meeting points on the GPS's and stop at them to make sure we havent lost anyone.
Are there people going who want to do a balls out fast run? Or is this going to be a more relaxed cruise through the park. It is awesome either way and will be a blast. Hopefully I can make it out.

 

Sounds like a challenge.

 

Do you guys think a prerunner with locker would make it up blow sand? I havent taken this truck out there yet.

 

It really depends on the condition of the hill that day, and the tires you are running.
I have made it up with a pretty modded jeep in 2wd and it was a struggle, but have not tried it with my Tacoma. The key is to make it through the first whoop section with some speed. Off the top of my head I would assume you have a pretty slim chance, but get out there and prove me wrong! Weight on the rear tires will also help you out a lot.

 

yea. i got 33's. I would air down too. But i dont wanna get stuck. That whoops section is killer.
