It's alright so far, been busy this last week trying to get everything settled. Been driving around Beaverton on random errands so I've been getting to know the area. I'm in between Canyon Rd and Hillsdale HWY so its pretty easy to get places. It's pretty damn warm up here right now though.

Also learned my lesson the other day. Stay away from DTPDX during rush hour. Went 5 blocks in 40min and wasted 1/8 tank just idling! lol.

 

Ok. So you head east on the 198 towards Lake Kaweah. On the left, before you start heading uphill, there will be a Texaco which I believe is called Prince Mart, I'd fuel up here...TURN LEFT! You'll cross a paved bridge.

Right after the bridge, hang a right onto Dry Creek dr and keep going towards Badger, it's a nice drive.

Once in Badger you'll look for a road, off to the right, called Whitaker Forest Rd. Stay on this road and follow it. It will be paved but will turn into dirt once you get near the National Park.

Follow the trail all the way up and you'll pop out on Generals HWY (198) near a parking/play area. You can head back to Visalia or head up to Fresno after that if you'd like OR take the trail back down for double fun. If you air down for the trail I suggest you air up if you plan on taking the highway back down.

We did this trail years ago as a snow run a couple times and it was a blast....except that one time we got stuck in the snow for almost 24hrs, and thats how I met @Bruteforce Fab, ha.

 

Here's a pic thread from one of the snow runs. Most people that went don't even have their trucks anymore but Billy's taco has come a long way since then.

Wow thanks for all the info definitely interested, and it looks like a blast in the snow

 

Anybody on here know any good automotive paint body shops in the Fresno area? Some punk scratched and dented my truck and i was quoted $1500 at specialty body. Really sucks especially since it's a brand new truck.

 

nothing hard but it looks like it would be a wonderful scenic route. i would be down for that!

 

call insurance for a hit and run. you should not take a hit on your insurance and you'll just have to pay your deductible I'm guessing $500 which is a lot better than $1500

 

I called and unfortunately the deductible was $1000 and from there estimate they would only cover $900 so there would be no point in paying the deductible if it would cost me more :/

 

Just getting a head count for the PisBROS attending toyota meet May 21st.

As of right now my plan is to leave my house no later than 8am. If anyone would like to caravan I say meet up somewhere in Paso Robles or if anyone has another spot thats away from busy street light and traffic go ahead and throw out an idea. I will be staying overnight and doing some early morning surf perch fishing the next morning and leaving sunday afternoonish. I will also be stopping by coffee bean before leaving as always since we don't have one lol. I may or may not be using my rig in the dunes. I Might trailer my quad there I'm still debating. Im not a big dunes guy so not sure if I wanna run my rig out there since ill have a full set of bumpers and RTT by the time the event rolls around. Let me know what your guys plans are lets get a 559 group rollin in. The people who made this even are actually from fresno so maybe we all can roll together.

 

I hate immature little shits like this. People that have no respect for other peoples property. granted I beat the hell out of my rig but i have the right to do that i make the payments. For someone else to come along and just dent your rig and scratch it because they find it amusing, now thats an ass whooping.

 

Yeah really bummed me out man. I know it's a truck and its suppose to get scratched up and rugged up but for a brand new truck with only 4K miles on the odometer it really bummed me out. But there's a lot of haters like that. People that see other peopl who have nice things and feel the need to vandalize people's property, typical Fresno though.

 

I'll most likely head out the same time as you. Just going for the day to meet everyone. We'll prolly take off and go shopping/eating/walking on the main beach.

 

If any one is interested. I found this on Craigslist. Seems like a steal.
6 inch lift. $150

yup, the night before i went to blue canyon OHV with @bluedegeon and @cencalifoothills15 I put my trasheroo on my gobi ladder so i wouldn't forget it the next day. I took my girlfriends car to work since i work graveyard, i came home the next morning and it was gone!! Brand new trasheroo never been used and the day i put it on someone steals it!! I live in town homes so i know someone in these fucking apartments has my shit!! probably those idiot kids who live across me. I know one of their buddies has a jeep.

 

sounds good. I assume well meet up at paso robles and get to pisbro around 1030-1100ish.

 

Might pick it up for future projects, like reusing the rear when a sas comes. Lol

 

Damn, that sucks man, there's always those people looking for items they can grab in a couple seconds. Over here in fresno at Fresno state a bunch of Toyotas some Tacomas have been having their catalytic converters stolen, police say it's already been over 10 catalytic converters have been stolen at the college. And it sucks that being a Tacoma it's higher off the ground so it's easy to slide under.

 

Thats sick and close to home
