Slick Rock! 8/28-30. A Re-Do of a Re-Do of a Never Really Done...

The last two Slick Rock trips were both cancelled due to snow. Who'd have thunk after such a mild winter snow would screw us in April and May?!? Let's make this one happen!

Slick Rock Trail. Run it that Saturday 8/29 starting from Lake Alpine. Camp on the trail Friday and Saturday. Head home Sunday. Updates to come on exact locations to camp.

There will be rocks there. Some of them big. We'll be driving over them. You should have a lift and sliders at a minimum. Aftermarket bumpers and skids def recommended. Trail changes too much to say full armor required but I think you'll damn well want it. I'll be testing out my new Relentless trans and xfer case skids.

Wives, gf's and kids are def ok, though I think mine will be staying home for this trip. Bring yours. Or don't. Whatever. Just come WHEELING!!!!!!!

Sub


























































Do you think a stock LX470 can make it???? Hmmm.

 

Im in. Just me and the dog though. Wife has a bridal shower

I think Im ontop of a rock?

 

I might be in as well I'll have to play it by ear.

 

Ha. Looks like the guy spotting you is saying, "Yup, you're on top of a rock..."

Notsure . I've never run the trail myself, nor am I to familiar with rexus'

 

Thats eric frim relentless. and that pretty much what he said

 

I seen a LX470 run the trail but he was built with bumpers and sliders on 35's and he had a hell of a time lots of pulling cable.

Last I went: 33, sliders and lift is all you need. I wouldn't go with street tires tho. I'm on 295, sliders and no lift, I wouldn't hesitate going.

 

man, I want in but need to get my suspension on and find some sliders!

 

Was it blue? By chance? Hey at least he is using it for what it's meant to do..


If don't end up going to CruiserFest I am down... Still up in the air... I really want go see the New 70 series they are releasing(only in Japan). One of the guys from Toyota is supposedly going to be there to chat about it... I wished they would bring that thing to America..

If I still have my 4runner and can afford it, I'll go. Probably drive up Saturday, spend the night and leave Sunday.

 

Robert I should have an extra seat bc my wife and kid prob aren't going. If you don't have the 4Runner anymore you can ride with me.

 

@otis24 you comin? Perfect excuse to buy those sliders

 

Sliders are on order from BAMF. I might take the weekend and put that aux fuel tank in. I can also go diving that weekend. Or I can go backpacking. I was also thinking of showing up and riding my mountain bike. The trail is short but with my poor fitness and altitude it might take 45 minutes to 2 or 3 hours to ride.

 

You can definitely park and go backpacking. In my video, I made sure to note the three college chicks from Cal that were through hiking the trail we were driving on.

 

Haha. Just watched it again for visual confirmation of said chicks. 4:50

 

I'll probably end up staying local or something. I'll need it! August is going to be a good month.
1st weekend - diving
2nd-bbq, EFR, diving
3rd-camping and diving Tahoe
