NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I heard it's pure evil and deep mud at best.

 

Normally I like the sound of pure evil... But I'd rather not destroy my truck heh. Try to make it to spider lake or more exploring around liberty? Other trail ideas?

 

Damn Brady. I wonder if it's related to the sound you were already trying to troubleshoot?

Related to power steering possibly?

 

Here is a screenshot of our tracks from the Liberty trip. Highest point was Lion Rock at 6,340ft. 14.2 miles distance covered.

 

That Naches trip looks mighty tempting...

 

Nice Forster! How's fire fighting going? You'll need to head up with us next time. We had trails planned but always good to have a 'local'.

 

Spider lake?
I have a few non yota friends that have been to elbe recently and say id make it for sure jus certain trails that would def mess my shit up..

Was thinkin the same thing...

 

No, I think the rattle was the spacer. This new noise only does it at a higher speed which makes me think it's a weight problem

On the bright side, that clank went away at some point.

 

That was a LONG 14 miles! And that winch-fest was a hoot! NOT! Was great wheeling and meeting you all, hopefully we can all do it again soon. I'm in next month for Naches for sure, I'll have a couple more goodies installed on the Runner by then.

 

Let's make it happen, Stallone. I'll start planning. We were also talking about it this past weekend while wheeling.

Man next year we've got to try Moab.

 

Sorry I bailed before it! Heard you guys had a few sketchy spots before it too.

 

It's going great. I just finished up EMT school at the end of June. Now the long process of finding a job begins.

Yeah I have been riding that area since I was 5 years old. I ride from the front door of my cabin up to lions rock on my snowmobile in about a half hour. If you are standing looking over the edge, and look straight down, you can see the big bowl. We drop down there and ride the hills. On the picture you took with the ridge on the right side, that's where we normally drop in.

 

Great meeting you as well! Let's get out as much as possible before the rains start.

 

Hey all, so BESIDES craigslist im tryin to help my bro find a wheeler, he cant afford a taco but hes lookin for a 4 runner, needs a back seat for kiddos, doesnt have to be perf jus gonna be a weekend wheeler... any leads? Thx!

 

That's to bad not cl. Saw some awesome ones on there today

 

Well we both been lookin on there jus didnt need ya'll doin all the leg work but if u run across somn nice im open!!

 

What's his budget?

 

3k....ish

 

Any pics, vids, or links for Elbe?

 

There's a '91 Previa All-Trac in the San Juans

Really though: If he isn't stuck on Toyota, there's some other possibilities.
Monteros seem to be pretty cool if you get the ones with traction control.

I hate to say it, and I hate most of the noobs driving them, but based on his budget he might end up with a Cherokee and the two of you fab some cheap front/rear bumpers for recovery points. They are stupid cheap, plentiful, and you don't care what happens to them.
