2013 T.A.C.O. Moab Gathering OFFICIAL photo thread.

Hey guys, just a tip, for everyone posting run pics, if you have a shit ton of pics of a trail run just make a thread for it and everyone can post pics in the thread for the trail so it's organized.

 

Also, fr anyone that has a large number of pics of vids of me from hells trifecta or metal masher let me know and I'll pay to ship a cb and put the files on a disk

 

Ok I'm probably the first one home. We had to skip town early Saturday morning because of a sick kid at home but we had a blast on Trifecta on Thursday and Moab Rim on Friday. Good groups both days. Leading/spotting doesn't allow for many opportunities to take photos so I don't have a ton, but I'll share a few in a bit.

Carnage report that I can remember......

Thursday Trifecta:
Jeep Andrew: Punctured tire, broken front axle
Trokita: Broken front strut

Friday Moab Rim:
Ripcord: Broken rear diff
Slodgetto: Broken CV/Hub

 

Uh oh, what do you mean by broken rear diff?

I guess I'll let Jim fill us in. That sucks though, he just swapped in that E-locker.

 

He trashed the ring gear on the Z-turn. Jonathan followed him back down off the trail. I'm not sure if the it damaged the axle shaft or the locker, but the gears are toast. Jim was done after that. They drove out to Grand Junction yesterday afternoon to rent a trailer to tow it home.

 

This is a trip that i need to make next year! Looks like a blast!

 

A few quick pics, then I'm off to my b-day dinner with my wife.

Well that sucks.

Nice pics though!

 

Moab Rim today. Great group!

 

Nice plenty if carnage and good times. Moab has struck

Adam your rig is looking great. Rear looks very flexy. Shock relocation did good.

 

Yeah I'm really happy with it. It worked great down there, but now I need to replace my rack bushings.

 

True

Have fun. One if the biggest PITA things I've done. Didn't notice an improvement either.

Can't wait to move my shocks.

 

few more photos from Golden Spike..uh...I mean Trifecta.

I told her she needed to redeem herself from last year when she drove across Golden Crack. Last year she got half way across and mashed the throttle and rocketed across. I was hoping for a bit more finesse this year. She did fine again until she got halfway across and decided it was time to be across already and hit the skinny pedal again.


Bulhas followed by Whitecloud and Trokita

nice!

I can't believe how much more flex you get out of the rear with the shock relocation. I may just have to do that one very soon.

 

Awesome pics.

If I ever ran Ol' Red on those trails I'd be able to ship him home via a few FedEx boxes.

Adam - your truck is so fucking boss... and I love the fact your wife will navigate some of those cruxes. That's awesome.

 

Nonsense! My truck is basically stock and I ran a lot of those last year without incident. You'd be just fine. Only thing that really held me back were my open diffs and rollerskate tires.

 

So we're currently driving behind this:




Looks as if he fell off a cliff and landed on a boulder. The entire right side is caved in about a third of the way. I know there was another event going on in Grand Junction so that might have been where it happened. I'll be sure to check their thread.

 

Added a bit for ya haha. Although not sure how close that are to trail damage since they were both my own retarded mistakes.
