2013 T.A.Co. Gathering - Official Thread

I'll be in a group of 2 or 3 trucks leaving from Lakewood on the 29th. Probably leave around 12-4pm though depending on when my buddy gets off work.

 

I'll let you know when we figure out when we're leaving exactly. We'll be a lot slower since we have a trailer so some of you might end up passing us anyway haha

 

We'll have a 4cyl exo caged 4runner. His top speed coming back up to the Eisenhower tunnel from the west is a whopping 35 mph, haha. We won't be breaking any speed records. We'll offload every piece of gear, spare parts, and tools out of his truck into mine to help, but it still won't be fast.

 

I'll be staying at the Archway Inn.

 

Haha. We have an 02 Ivan Stewart Tundra for a tow rig. It's more of a pretty boy truck so we usually go about that speed too up that hill haha

 

Hahaha I've been saying "that's gotta be Moab" for the past year everytime I see that commercial!

 

yeah let him draft you as well..

 

Yeah, it's actually a pretty easy climb, too. There are bolt ladders in the harder 10+ sections where you could actually pull on your gear if you're lazy. The top section is only 5.8+, but the head game from the exposer... WOW

 

yep, plannin on it

 

Reservations made for the Moab Valley Inn! 5/31-6/3 Short trip, and I will unfortunately miss a good portion of the meet, but at least I'll be there.

 

I will be heading out Wednesday afternoonish as well, once we get closer lets try to figure out a caravan of who/when!

 

The 20 dollars goes towards Bfe and friends for wheeling so please dont think its like paying to camp, both are great oganizations that keep trails open for us to wheel on

 

Yeah, dats nuts. lol I would like to see the trail before deciding if I'm going to go for it, I think... I'm not sure I see IFS making it either..... not sure if my long wheelbase will be a blessing or a curse.

If I keep not getting too many serious offers on the truck, definitely will think about making some bedside/tail light protection of my bumper and some cab protection off my sliders in prep... I've been meaning to add protection in those spots anyway. could've prevented a lot of rock/stump rash on previous trips.. thankfully, nothings been to serious yet.

 

well We`ll be hiking it this year, Bob and Eric and I have been talkin abut it. its just cool to walk it and imagine what line you would take lol




too bad u wont be there.....

 

Sweet, I hear ya!





we'll see

 

just ordered my coax cable for my CB radio hope to install cb this weekend

 

truck stops man instant product, no shipping!

 

well the thing is that i need the one with the fire ring end, and i dont think flying J has it witch is the closes truck stop where i live the rest of them are like and hour away, and for 18 bones and free shipping right to my door step, beats driving around just to see if they have it in stock

 

ah.... i got my 18ft of coax and a 90 degree angle piece only 10 mins away

 

ya i could of just gone to like a radio shack to get a regular coax cable with the same ends but the setup in running requires the firering end cause im using a bolt to hold the antenna
