2nd Annual TW X-Mas Tree Run

Gotcha I'll put my paperwork in the mail today

 

That's the one

 

I'm going to try and get the day off to head up. Put me down as a maybe.

 

Got my permit. @ffdawson. Guess that notice on the website doesn't apply or may be old.

 

Rad.

 

@Elevated I just finished my build thread today and I put links to all my CB equipment if you're still interested.

Sending my permit out tomorrow morning, I feel like i've been slacking and hope I get it quickly.

 

Awesome. I'll check it out when I get home and am in my office. Using my phone and it sucks to look at pics off of it.

I think you should get your permit in time. It took them 6 or 8 days to get mine. Don't remember exact date I sent it out.

 

@Elevated which address did you send it to?

 

The ranger station in upper lake.

 

Awesome thanks. That is the one I was planning on sending it to.

 

Got my permit today. My lady also did some photo editing and made some truck porn for me!

 

^ right on! Hey that's not in SF...

 

Fair. It was my last wheeling trip in Georgia...

 

Permit sent out today, I'm really excited for this trip.

Do we use a certain/specific CB channel for everyone? Or will we decide on day of Idk how this cb stuff works with groups just yet.

 

Hey Anthony,
What's up? Been awhile since Petaluma... Travis dosent want to bring the Xterra Titan rig? I'm still on the fence about heading up, wife likes a full tree.. You know the ones from Home Depot...

Segregate us AT guys! Damn rosa parks back of the bus. Lol

Thanks,

Brett

Anthony give me a PM

 

Ha cb's? I'm with ya. I don't even have one...

Thanks ,

Brett

 

CB's we usually stay on 16 (4x4=16). There's usually a lot of stops along the trail for whatever reason, I'd like to try and keep this run a smooth flowing as possible. We've got double the amount of trucks signed up this year!

On that note, I think we're going to make a minor change in the meeting spots.

For now we'll still meet at Badass Coffee in Santa Rosa, but I'm going to change the second meeting spot from the Middlecreek Campground to the Gas Station at the corner of Hwy 20/ Hwy 29. We all stopped there last time to fuel up, and it's easy to get to, plenty of space, pumps, etc. as well as bathrooms, snacks etc. the Middlecreek stop seems a little redundant being that it's only 5 miles away from the gas station. We have a LONG day and a lot of driving, so I'd like to make that change. I will be posting this update in the OP.

 

I'm thinking about going. stock 4wd /w km2.

Will it be 6speed friendly? It will by my first time offroading.

 

^ as I've posted before, there is a graded dirt road that leads to the top of Hull Mt, all of the "trails" are optional. Again depending on the conditions, All Terrains might be ok, might not. 6spd is what I drive. You have 4Lo. Being a first timer off roader is fine, but be aware of the conditions and if you're not comfortable don't get in over your head. Of course we will leave no one behind, but just try not to be a doofus and do something that will end up holding up the group of 20+ trucks. And you have a few weeks till then to practice. Go to Hollister this weekend, find a muddy dirt road. Get a feel for it.

I don't mean to be curt, but there's been a lot of questions about "can my truck make it?" "Am i ok on AT tires?" Etc. I honestly can't tell you guys one way or the other. If it's your first time off road, I have no idea if you'll make it. Hell for all I know you'll wreck it in the ditch the second you hit dirt. Or maybe you're Ivan Fucking Stewart. Not sure. And for the AT guys, watch the video. Last years trip saw an experienced driver on 35" AT's stuck as fuck 10 feet up the trail.

So be your own best judge. Everyone is welcome, and it is a great time. I hope to see everyone out there enjoying themselves!

Cheers

 

Oh and where is @cmj ? Who's gonna take rad video and pics this year?
