The 2016 NorCal Camping/Wheeling Thread!

I'm down

 

Thank you all for a great time. Can't wait for the next one.

 

Awesome day today great meeting all of you look forward to more trips.

Felipe awesome shots man you're crazy standing out in that rain for some photos lol but they look amazing

 

Dam I wish I would have mad it to this run looks like you guys had a blast.

 

Thanks! Had a blast!!

You guys found snow!!!

 

also id like to say

props to everyone considering the size group we had today and the minimal stuckage and for those wondering (probably no one) I did in fact get in n out (the food)

 

We had a good day. No one broke anything. Had lots of laughs. Good group of people.
We were pretty lucky to make it up there and see one of the largest rain storms to hit the seiras in decades. We may never get to see that trail like that again. Im glad we braved the weather made the best of a rainy day.
I had a blast.

 

@EDDO what radio was that also what antenna did you ad
I really liked it and need one for sure

 

I need a better antenna.

 

Had a great time today, wasn't expecting all the water crossings, especially the one with the icebergs. Oh, and you knuckleheads really outdid yourselves with the radio banter today. See you gents on the next one.

 

How far North do you guys go? I went to Mt. Shasta last weekend and there's tons of snow up there right now off of the Everett Memorial highway. To the East there is Mt. Lassen and the trail into the N. Battle Creek resevior area. Looks like I'll have to head south if I want to find anyone to wheel with. There's a few Toyota guys up here but nobody sets up any runs.

 

Next Saturday I'm in 100%

 

Come down next Saturday. Going to go up to uncle Toms Cabin. That's where they went today

 

I may be down depends on how long this week feels

 

I go and play off hwy 36 and 32 fa few times a year

 

This is the most cost efficient radio. These worked great with the upgraded antenna. The other more upgraded versions have a few more options.

Do we need the programming cable as well?

 

I dont have one. Only because i have a buddy that has one and is able to program. But probably wouldn't be a bad idea.
Along with tje extended battery. I used @916TacoTruck extended battery last weekend and it lasted the whole time and had plany of life left. I am definitely ordering one for myself

 

Hello everyone. Fairly new to the Tacoma as I have only had mine since July. It's a TRD OR....totally stock. Love the truck!! Would love to attend one of these snow runs with you guys up to UTC but not sure newbs are welcome? I have never been up there so not sure a stock vehicle can make it that far?

Also, as a few keep pointing out I don't want to be the guy that has to be pulled out of trouble often or don't want to slow the group down, so if that is a concern Of anyone I should probably find others to hit the trails with. Honest feedback is appreciated.

Just trying to get a consensus on what the tolerance level is of newbies with stock rigs is on these runs, and whether or not a stock TRD OR can run the snow up to UTC.

Thanks in advance for any feedback given.
