Not sure if this works...

Google Earth file...just trying ...disregard if failure...

I've been out there a lot and after watching the news vid I observed a large rock and line of utility poles. Shot a back azimuth from there to approximate the poss jeep loc (Looking Westerly from the news clip).

It kinda looks like the pit where luka used his winch on the Tacoma that was one day old

 

Looks like the same spot I winched out the stuck Toyota

he had 35" tires, and they were buried.
But most of the big mud holes there look the same

 

Nice work Iven... Yeah...who know's...lol It's fun to postulate though...

 

Gents, I modded my bed side decal to make it look a little more tribal and I think it looks even better than the one I used on my ride. I'm thinking about reordering with my new modded design. The decal guys will clean it up a little better than my photoshop work, but I just wanted your feedback...

This could also be in "Sport"

 

Gotta use an outside host, I upload mine to photobucket. Then just use the img tag.

This is how my code looks but without the **. Just put those in so it doesn't actually link the code.

Where Mike winched that one time didn't look that wide open to me?

 

hope they pull through but stupidity is stupidity

and that kind of crap hurts the rest of us

 

Hey guys. Just started using the site. '06 Access cab TRD. I am finally going to be doing some stuff to the outside of my truck (inside is done to where I want it). Picked up a Fab Fours front bumper and side steps at the show this weekend. Not a super deal but considerably less than Amazon prices. Did anyone else get anything cool? I'm far from a pro with Tacomas but I'd be willing to at least lend an extra set of hands for installs if anyone needs help! It would also help me to learn more about my truck well helping out.

 

You can see the big boulder which is right off the main road as you go into the point. If you go right at the big rock, there's a deep hole off to the right, and a little further is where they got stuck. it looks like they are heading towards the big hole going towards the rock.

 

Looks awesome!!!

 

I think you two are talking about the same place? On google earth it looks like the pin that Rick dropped could be it. That is just before where Mike had to winch. On google earth if you keep going about 500' or so Northish, that is were I am pretty sure Mike had to winch? So basically half way between where I hit that rock, and mike winched is where they got stuck.

I think I have been on that particular path when it was dry. I guess its not a marked trail, if it is where he got stuck? I thought they were because they were nice and driven on And the sign says trail B goes that way, but doesn't say much after that besides stay on the designated path..

 

Yes, its a sad situation all around. But it could have easily been avoided, and that is just as sad

Last I heard the driver was in critical condition? I didn't hear anything about the passenger.

 

I goin kaena pt saturday, not to play. Goin check out da pill boxs wit my girl.

 

That's just outright sad . To think that if they had just openned some windows they might have been ok. But, I do thnk that they were foolish to get into that type of situation without anyone around. I haven't really been wheeling before and don't really know what my truck is capable of. So I'm waiting until I can actually get out there when you guys are out so I know I have some help.

 

What's up Austin . Looks like you went all out on you interior. I went but didn't actually get to stand in line to see what kind of deals there were. I had the wife and kids in tow and they weren't really into it. I guess that's how wifey feels when she goes shopping and I'm waiting for her. Stick around, everyone here is really cool and a lot of knowledge being shared.

I was able to get some nice pictures of Flat Stanley with some of the trucks that were there!

 

I just did a tradax 3" lift with 1"spacer in rear. I noticed that the front right squeaks like crazy. Mind you my truck is a 2013. I was told by the people who lifted it that it's the bushings. I was like you telling me it's worn out? They said possibly. What could it be?

 

Wat kine lift is it? Strut spacers or coil spacers?

 

My buddy's neighbor wheels with the driver. Both guys are army. In fact he called me awhile ago to come help pull the same jeep out of the sand at Tracks beach, but I was in Hawaii Kai at the time. Was seriously stuck, close to the water. He said they are pulling the plug this morning. No idea how the girl is doing.

 

Prayers sent his way

 

dang thats sad
