Wisconsin area events- THIS WEEKEND: kayak camping.

Truth! May be a while before I can afford new tires...

 

Redfish?

Have fun! I love saltwater.

 

I feel your pain. I'm looking forward to a long winter of doing nothing so I can save for all of the goodies I want.

 

Survived the dunes! Ready to go for this trip!

 

Dang...I wish I could join in on this. I just found the Midwest thread.

I have some other things scheduled over the next few weeks and can't make the trip. If this becomes an annual thing I'll keep it open for next year.

 

I've been following this thread thinking about coming up for the day. Between opening of bow season and not knowing if we be going to Minneapolis before grandson was born all plans were up in the air. Well now its official. We're going to Minneapolis.
Y'all have a good time.

 

this is what i am working with here
they did not disappoint in a foot of heavy wet blizzard snow
have not yet touched any real mud and just a bit of Missouri riverbed sand recently
should be ok for most anything northern Wisconsin can throw at it

 

My wife said we have a wedding Saturday afternoon in Chicago. Ahhhhhh
I’m trying to convince her trails up north is more fun! Although open bar......hmmmmmm.
I got a few weeks to change her mind.
Lol she didn’t gave a great time in our family camping trip. Ha, it was our first time camping again in 16 years. She said she’s getting to old to sleep in a tent. Old people problems! Lol

 

I find if you dont have friends, you dont have to goto weddings

 

Just attended two bachelor parties this past week - good times, but the wallet and liver hurt afterwards.

 

Ha! Not my friends.
Apparently my wife had friends. Now I gotta go drink at a “OPEN BAR”

Twist my arm

 

That sucks. One less Blazing Blue Brethren on the trail.

 

Looks like I need better skid plates and a lift!

After further review, I HIGHLY doubt that anyone is going to want to drive up the rock road. At least not without full skids and some serious balls.

 

@Thatbassguy
Damn!
I upgraded to the stock OEM Tacoma TRD off-road 2 piece skid. I still doubt that will help me. Also I don’t have sliders

I’m barely MALL RATED...
Look at this monster I cleared

lol.

No other damage? Well, At least your skid did what it was designed to do!
“take the bashing”.

I have a (my original one I took off) spare Painted OEM front skid for a TRD off-road/TRD sport Tacoma (pretty sure it won’t fit 4Runner)


Any pics from the trail? Must of been a blast!

 

Mine is an off road. I'll be getting some real skid plates over the winter, hopefully.

I forgot to turn on dash-cam, so no pics.

 

Actually, got one picture of a nice group of off-roaders @ajmogen and I met. They had gone up the hill and we saw them on the other side. One of them had broken something, and they were putting on a bandaid to get it home.

 

Was it chunky boulders or flat steps?

I’m going to need sliders soon

My step son has a welder . I guess I need to buy some steel and cash in some step dad equity!
Aircraft quality paint then oven baking . It seems to be a nice finish on my skids and hope the kid can fab up the sliders and I’ll paint ‘em at work!

 

The rock road? Mostly round, 1.5-3' in diameter.

 

A dash cam isn’t much good if it isn’t running all the time lol

 

It's not really a dash-cam. Just a generic go-pro. I usually run it while I'm on trails so I can get screenshots of the terrain and listen to myself talking to myself
