Hungry Valley December 12-14

Was I a maybe before? I don't remember. But I'm a definitely for sure, ya kooks!

 

Did not know their was so much love for gorman.

 

why's everyone hate Gorman so much? I think it's a lot of fun. and my favorite part about it is it's only 75 minutes away from home which is WAY closer than anywhere else for me. I'm sure for 4x4 vehicles there's better wheeling elsewhere but The way I see it is good times, and good company and I'm having fun no matter where we're at.

 

well me and Ryan went a lot last year and year before that so it got boring and compared to any other wheeling we do now Gorman is boring.

But I still have blast if I do end up going not gunna off road my taco kind of went little to hard in cal city over the weekend once it stops raining I need to go thru torque and maybe gusset few things and possible swing down tire carrier add on to my bumper.

 

Yeah, I can get that it gets boring if you go all the time...I'm trying to figure out what I want to bring more, the Tacoma since I just put TC UCAs on it, or the 4Runner which actually has 4wd and I haven't gotten to take off road yet...which kind of scares me because I feel like I'll have shitty luck and something will break the first time out...and then I wont' have a way to drive home.

 

4runner you should go thru and make sure everything is okay once I get settled down in this new house in the valley I got a nice garage setup we can start working

 

nice! that'll be rad! yeah, I'm thinking I'll go through the 4Runner this weekend and just make sure everything is good. I recently checked cv boots and greased the driveshaft and everything feels good. Checked around the suspension and things look ok, no leaks, etc. Just gonna go around and torque everything real good. Only things that were a big concern to me is the brakes are a little soft and there's a little vibration at highway speeds. Gonna try bleeding the brakes this weekend then maybe get the front wheels re-balanced. Hopefully that fixes those things.

 

Shit I live 70 miles from Ocotillo Wells and I still want to go to Gorman.

 

...besides this was the easiest for the Nor Cal boys to meet up so they don't have to drive as far to other spots

 

Looking forward to meeting some new folks this time

 

Gorman easier to find lol going out to the desert kinda hard to organize/pin point location

 

Bamftaco and manwithoutaplan...we didn't even wheel inside hungry valley last time. We ended up doing miller/Lockwood the entire day Saturday with some other trails in Los Padres so we didn't get a chance to check out Hungry Valley.

 

Yeah I get lost out at Ocotillo and I've been there a shit ton

 

I'm in a little tough situation but I'll try to go hopefully I can make it out

 

Right on! You build that tube bumper yourself on your truck?

 

I actually built few bumpers lol look on my instagram name Is bamftaco. I just posted a pic of my truck and it has latest bumper came out good probably keep it for a while.

 

This is gonna be a sick trip !

 

Yeah It will be! Really hoping I can make it. Didn't realize how broke I was right now so I really need to get paid next Friday to make this trip happen for me.

 

I wish this trip was after Christmas cuz my b day is on Christmas I tell everyone don't give me a present just give me the money instead lol

 

hahaha oh shit, now I know two people who's birthdays fall on Christmas Day! well dude, like I said, as long as you can afford gas to get out there (and I actually get paid on Friday), then I got you covered for food/beer. and if you can't afford gas you can just ride with me.
