Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Hey don’t forget about pinstripe road!

 

Welcome! I am located in the middle of Hudson and Roberts so we are pretty dang close.

 

I didn't.

 

It'll buff out.


Maybe.

 

We'll see. I'm actually having it buffed in a few weeks. Bartered for some electrical work.

 

If it doesn't all come out, then at least your vehicle will look like it is used as intended instead of being like a shiny princess that never puts out

 

For sure. There are a few that I don't expect to get out, and that's fine. It's more or less just to get a thorough cleaning and a good wax job. I really just wanted the interior detailed, but he brought up the buffing. I figure it can't hurt.

It will be nice to drive to Florida in a clean car.

 

We need to get some events organized!

 

I would like to do the TWAT this spring and make a 3 day trip out of it. Also want to head to the UP

 

That's the way to do it. There are some side trails here and there that look interesting. I haven't been through them, but there appear to be a bunch of 2-track roads in the woods near HWY 12 and Bald Peak road.

Having extra time makes it easier to go explore off of the main route.

 

Been there done it. Hwy 10 is actually what he meant which is where Bald Peak road is off of.

There are some trails off HWY12 in Augusta though.

Big Falls County Park in EC has a nice loop, but you’ll get branch rash.

Some really really deep mud holes that have swallowed Jeep’s whole. I try to avoid them since they’re so deep.

 

Whoops. Yeah, HWY 10. I remember you or another member talking about that area a few months ago. How were they? I was planning on checking them out this spring or summer.

I visit Eau Claire regularly in the summer so I'll keep Big Falls in mind.

 

One of my favorite pics of the Taco is at Big Falls. Just kinda sad that one of my BROpter lights was out (which I have since fixed)

 

When I went it was perfect. Lots of mud which was a pain to get off, but the trails were awesome. I spent maybe 4.5 hours driving around. I did the Mark Zeigler Trail twice I think.

 

I also went up to Rock Dam Lake that day and hit another OHV trail there that was quick and around the lake.

 

I'm not sure if Mark Zeigler trail is open in Winter. I'd have to guess it's either snowmobile access only, or they do keep it open, just not plowed. I might have to run over there before we get more snow to check it out.

 

That reminds me, I need to order a roll of the magnetic material to see if I can make the trail armor!

 

I had a spare bulb and fixed it for you.

 

Btw, I found this for sale here in Madison for $145

I was tempted, but apparently this kind of lift causes a harsh ride.
