Half-baked Vermont Excursion - 8/27 to 8/30

Same here - 3h30m for me from Central CT, not bad. I took Thursday off so we’ll make our way up and be there a bit before 3

 

3 Hr - 8 minutes for me. Not too bad. If we're not going to hit the offroady way to Hill Farmstead I may leave earlier and hit it before stopping by the Brewery. Just an FYI to everyone, it looks like all the brewery are curbside pickup only. No tasting rooms. Just means i'll have to do more tasting at night when we stop.

 

I assume this is the route you mean?

 

That's the one... Looks like I won't need to leave that early.

 

This seems like its going to be a great get together and run . Something I'd DEFINITELY be interested in if you plan another one in the future. East Burke is only a little over 3 hours drive for me .
A question though.........
Could a stock truck on ATs handle this ??

 

That's my goal. I'm unsure if the entire route right now would be that way, I haven't driven every part of it, but I have tried to route on mostly maintained roads, so we'll find out. I'll make any adjustments before sharing the route so that any roads that stock trucks can't make are either omitted, or marked as optional with a route around.

 

Cool !! That sounds great ! Count me in on your next one!

 

well let you know. I’m in a stock 20 trd OR. Stock wheels and tires. I have sliders but otherwise nothing related to performance/off roading

 

Subbed for pics from this

 

That would be sweet to be able to do a multi day run like this in a stock truck .
First additions to mine will be sliders , and bumpers , since the body insn't damaged ..... yet !

Hopefully you guys can post up some good pics and vids for us on here !!

 

can’t find a picture on my phone but I tanked my passenger rocker a few months ago. Sliders were in the mail which made that one painful to watch. Waiting to get it fixed until after this trip for just in case otherwise just scratched my fenders. No real body damage and I will probably trade it in for a trail rig I can bounce off trees and a little corolla sometime. We’ll see I like it for now though.

 

Oh man this looks like a great time! Definitely would like to get in on future trips like this. Maps has the rally point just over 3 hours from me too. My truck is still 100% stock OR but sliders are on order (lead time on these sucks), along with some basic safety/recovery gear.. tires up next.

 

Finally got a decent spare after wheeling with a dry rotted stock sized one for the past year in the Landcruiser. Thanks @jjsul for the km2. Tucks nicely under the ass of my fat truck. And is basically the diameter as my 275/70/18s but much skinnier.

 

What size tires are you running?

 

275/70R18 on Tundra alloys. They're like 33.4". I grabbed a used but with decent tread km2 in the 255/85/16 flavor (~33.2") for a spare and got it mounted yesterday to one of my stock 16" alloys.

 

Is that for the Landcruiser?

 

Yup

 

Do you have 5 or 6 lugs?

 

5 lugger.

 

Having an actual correct sized spare tire. So hot right now
