6th Annual SoCal / TW Superstition Trip Jan 8-10th 2016

The coyote who causes the carnage every year on imler road may or may not be responsible for some of my damage. There's gotta be a wanted poster for the coyote at the insurance companies he's totaled like 5 trucks on that road haha

That 4 runner is pretty jacked up. Even worse were the kids inside. One dude hurt his knee pretty bad. Stupid mistake we told him to slow down over and over. Damn near rolled it on sand dam.

I'm bummed more of us didn't make it out but I had a damn good time. The entire group went out on the trail with each other. I don't think there was a single person at camp I didn't hang out with. Kinda liked that rather than previous years where there was too many people to even get to know.

 

this is the background on my work computer now. I've had some funny looks already haha what a great idea.

 

My driver side window fell out of the track but I fixed it once we got back to camp, just let in a lot of sand and wet sand until I got back to camp. After Sunday's quick run my skid plate was dangling by one bolt, I guess I went a little to hard on a jump and sheared my skid plate bolts off. The jeep that was with us slashed a tire on a bush. Other then that it was pretty uneventful trip. I have a pretty good shot of my 4Runner aired out but I have to pull it from the video.

 

It was pretty cool wasn't too scared on sand dam feel stable going 45 mph in reverse. But that razor back we went over was something else lol still feeling some whip lash today so glad the air bags didn't work.

 

It was nice meeting you bro. Come back next year and bring some of those craft brews they were awesome.

 

I would not call what I witnessed on that berm Saturday night a jump..

 

I'm pretty sure he was referring to Sunday's jumping.

 

Oh, the stuff I saw on Saturday would break skid plate bolts easily. Figured it was from that..

 

Probably a combination of the whole weekend. Haha

 

No Saturday night I don't think I even ever got the rear wheels off the ground. Sunday I drove the skid plate into the dirt at about 60, I'm guessing that's when I broke bolts. That berm was more of a slow belly flop.

 

I get horrible gas mileage on my 22R. under 100 miles per 13 gallon tank. average 8mpgs. Need a diesel swap soon

 

that pretty bad dude i think you just need a real good pro carb tuning adjustment or swap it for a mikuni dual carb or something. Diesel would be cool but it would like a box truck diesel real loud and rough.

My woman's snap chat story

 

I averaged 14.2 for the trip over, off-roading, and driving back. And you should have a 17ish gallon tank same as me, actual E is way below E on the gauge. If i fill up at E, 14ish gallons is all that will fit.

@thebeeler killing it on sand dam before he aired out. After he aired out he made that hill his sandy wet whore and took any line he wanted to the top multiple times.
