2014 Rock Therapy - Official Thread

I like where your mind is at.. theres no harm in having spares.
Thats one of the harder ones due to the fact you have to use shims but other than that it's not so bad i've done like 80 or so diff regears.

 

^^^ That black 3rd gen runner with the SAS is sick!

 

2:58 dat stinger

 

sick trucks, wonder if they attempted escalator....

 

Judging form 3:24, it appears they just looked at it.... I'm sure they would've filmed it and included the footage if they did it. Unless they tried and made fools of themselves or something. lol I doubt that though....

 

Seems like if they did the hot-tub then the escalator wouldn't have been a biggie

 

Uuuhhhh... I don't know, I had a much harder time on the Escalator than the Hot Tub... Granted, my line was a little off on the Escalator, but I did the Hot Tub in one try with barely a tire chirp and no strap. Could be though...

 

mickeys hot tub is the only obsticle on that trail i havent done.. they rest (in my opinion with rear locker) are a cake walk with the right line..

 

Dry or wet?

 

I ran that entire trail in the rain escalator, tip over challange, and the hot tub before hells hiway hottub wet and they were cake slick but cake.. thus far everyone tells me that escalator is harder than hells gate but yeah

 

Nice. I didn't run escalator last time I was there because it was full of water in the middle walked right up the gate though.

 

almost every time ive done escalator it was full of water thats doesnt make it that much harder.. what makes it harder is when its raning and there is no dry rock anywhere so when you try and drive up things there tends to be alot of spining tire. still made it all but getting out of that one hot tub i smoke showed my way out..

 

i also did the water did up to the V notch on poison spider in the rain. the only hard part about that was the water fall

 

That's funny. years ago I ran Poison Spider during Cruise Moab in my FJ40 and it was POURING rain. The switchbacks at the beginning were an absolute muddy mess. We lost half our group before we got up the switchbacks because they couldn't climb the muddy ledges. I remember at least 3 busted drivelines and a dude in a minitruck broke both motor mounts romping on it trying to climb a ledge. The motor jumped up in the engine bay and threw his hood open breaking the hood latch. It was fun getting him off the trail.

 

damn^ cant say ive ever seen that happen!


i gotta confess, ridin in jason's truck last year made me really like higher speed driving.... Its a whole nother kind of offroadig. granted my truck isnt long travel nor can it even remotely keep up with his, but im in the midst of making mine so it can do much better in high range cant wait to rage some sand

 

saw this FB album through BFE's page...

definitely made me

but really made me wish i was in moab right now teaser..

 

might need to go on a pre-run before hand with trail leaders

 

You can come in my truck haha. you should bring the tercel on hells. that would be a hoot

I may very well take advantage of that! are we having a party at your condo one night!?

gonna have a good canadian crew this year eh?

BOOOOOOOOOO!

that sounds like a disaster!!!
