775 Tacomas

Hey guys, I was thinking of going out this weekend wheeling, is anyone in the Elko area interested?

 

Welcome!
I would love to, but I am on call for work. One dang weekend a month...

 

That's cool, any time you want to go out in the hills let me know I'm always wanting to learn/see new places.

I was looking at your build thread on your Tacoma, that's a sweet looking truck nice work!!

 

Thanks. Its a work in progress, thats for sure.

 

Welcome!! I may be free on Saturday. I'm not sure yet. Oh and post pictures of your truck!

 

That sounds good to me I think I'm free Saturday. Here are some pictures of the truck I just got it two weeks ago traded up from a 99 Tacoma to a 2006. I haven't done much to it yet but I have some plans for it.

 

Nice truck! I think I saw it parked next door to the car wash on Sunday.
Edit: where do you want to wheel this weekend?

 

Haha, you live right around the corner from me. I saw you working on it over the weekend. I wondered if you were on here.

 

I'm not sure I usually go up around gold creek, sunflower flats, Copper mountain area I don't know how much snow is up there right now. Do you have any ideas?

 

Haha that's cool.. yeah I had to replace struts, CV shafts, axle seals and brakes. Next week I need to go back to SLC and get my new rear window

So are you thinking of going to the 2014 Rock therapy in Moab on May 29 - June 1st? I'm kinda kicking it around it could a lot of fun!!

 

I love that area. I'm jelly if you guys go.

I was thinking about it, but it's too close to our Nevada trip, and I don't want to break my truck in Moab and not have the cash to fix it.

You should check out the Nevada trip. It is going to be a good time.

We can go down from bailey to buck mountain area, and out through ruby valley. That would be pretty nice

 

Yeah that does sound like it would be fun, I've never done a trip like that where you more or less go from one side of the state to the other and camp. Count me in!!

The Moab trip would also be fun there are allot of trails we could run but that is an expensive trip. I've gone there three or four times for the Easter jeep safari.

 

That sounds good to me

 

If you are through Ruby Valley at sun up or down, watch for deer. We were fishing last weekend and almost hit a bunch. They are thick.

Cool.

 

Just thinking here what about out side of Carlin up that canyon? I keep hearing that there are some good trails there I'm not sure where they are but I can ask around

 

Have you done that nevada run before or a run like it? Can you recommend some things that I may need to bring on that run?

 

I havent. I have camped out of my truck for a few days, but usually as a base camp. I would say regular camping gear and food. Tools, spare fluids, extra fuel, extra air filter, recovery gear, 2 spare tires.
Most of us are planning on having a CB setup as well. I was actually researching that this morning. I am sure I am forgetting something.

 

I would say you have a lot of it covered. Maybe start a checklist in the trip thread?

 

I will start to put something together. Also after talking to Dave about GPS, he suggested Gaia(sp). He said it is a pretty good program. Anyone running anything else?
