Dang! Scratches all around. Looks fun!

 

My adventure day. Maiden voyage of a 1979 aluminum boat.

 

scratches?? Only thing I damaged on this trip was my skid

 

Looks like the skids did their job!

 

Dents? Whatever is on the skids. Lol

 

iron man did the job both on skids and suspension

 

got hung up on a log obstacle and needed @C41n to give me a tug off after some yee yee hillbillies stood around with their thumbs up their asses

 

We did Skyline, Mt View, and Old Ugly trails. Ran into a guy in a wrangler. We ended up hanging out and wheeling with him. Went on to do Hagen Creek, Deer Pen and part of Old Ugly again with him. @Toywoodsguy82 headed out and wrangler dude showed me Kermode Krosing trail and the Thule Creek crawl (Steep, rocky hill climb - neither of us did it).

 

This was the dust this morning trying to wipe it down. And yes the dash was pretty well wiped down before this run

 

This air gun is amazing. It creates a small whirlwind of air and really makes cleaning out the dust, dirt and dog air easier. Blew out huge clouds yesterday.

You do need a good air compressor with higher cfm though.

I have an air compressor. Like a legit one just not able to open the door currently to help that dust get out of my truck lol

 

Im here making a bit of a sad post.. I think we "our family" has made a drastic decision. We have set a goal of two years to sell/give away everything we own, leave my job, sell the house, and exchange it all for a nomadic life in a trailer. Life is too short to waste time working just to get outside on the random weekend. One of the first realizations I had to come to was that the Tacoma will simply not be enough truck. So I will sadly have to let go. With this decision it means the end of my mods, and the end of treating it like a toy. In a few short months I will need to trade in for for a heavy duty rig. Likely a new Power Wagon. And soon after that we will be on the road and following our whim.

I say this is a sad post because I very much enjoyed the few meetups that I attended and had hoped to help build the group for years to come. Again something I will have to let go.

I'll be in touch. Hell, I will likely start a youtube channel.

Good luck everyone

 

Dang man quite the change for sure! But don’t be a stranger on here… just because you don’t have your Tacoma doesn’t mean you gotta jump off the forum.

cheers to new adventures!

 

Sounds like the only bummer in all that is having to get rid of the taco but everything else is pure awesome! Props to ya!

 

I'm surprised I'm the first to ask; GIVE US A LINK IF YOU START A YT CHANNEL!!!!!

Not sad bro, far from; very bold is the wanderlust heart; I wish you the best on your adventures!

Agreed! I spotted a BMW thread on here just earlier this morning.... and as a Bimmer + Taco bro; I don't think these two things should overlap; unless its the new Supra

 

I say big congrats! I will be living vicariously through you and dreaming of doing the same thing. If you are going to take mods off before you sell to make some extra cash, let me know, I still have a bunch of stock stuff (skids, suspensions, fogs, etc..) laying around that you can use. Have fun and let us know where to follow the adventures

 

Thanks for all the support! And of course I will still be on here. The window has been open to long to close it down. I'll update as time goes on, and hoping for the best in life.

 

Anyone looking to get out this weekend? I'm free Saturday or Sunday. Thinking Bennett Pass area but open to suggestions.

 

I could do Bennett tomorrow. What time you thinking?

 

I'm down. Let's meet up at the snow park around 10?
