Damn guys, looks like it was the most 2wd friend trip so far! Sand I missed it

On the plus side I found 4 matching gear ratio front diffs for my truck.. $220 shipped to the continental, so I would have to have it forwarded. I'm tempted!!

 

No dude. It was bad up there. There were a few sharp steep slippery hairpins that I was slipping and bouncing around in 4lo with ATRAC on. Getting to the campsite tho, I was in rwd the whole time until we hit the last bypass before the campsite. I'll post some go pro footage later.

Unless you were talking about kaena point?

 

X2 (Nate...he tried to kill us...)
I knew I forgot something...ATRAC...lol I didn't use it up there.

And that hairpin was F'ing like turning around in the same single lane. Had my hair on end for sure...

 

Yep, and that big hill with all the pics of trucks coming down, you gotta climb a pretty steep hill just to get to the top of it.

My ATRAC is always on, so I won't forget. It only activates in 4lo.

 

Do it Nate!

That's the kind of stuff I like. When its technical. especially when we needed to get around the boulder. I used my high lights so I could see through the brush so my headlight doesn't get taken out by a sticking out rock or something while trying to avoid that body damaging boulder.

 

It seems like peacock flats an camping is da new attraction now days lol. Kaena point is like a walk in da park on a dry day. Fun hills rocky bumpy road but das about it. Never been up to da flats, so maybe I need to start comin up wit u guys an jus goin balls out lol.

 

Lets do it! We need to start planning the next one early so we can take over the campsite again. That way we don't have to sleep next to some weirdos who stay up late talking very loud about their farts...

 

I did the whole thing in 2wd or 4hi for some spots and locker for the loose dusty hill with the rut because I picked a bad line hehe

you just need more lift and some taller tires

and they showed up in a Nissan pro-4x LE frontier....it must have had like 8" of ground clearence...

 

Im game been wanting to go up there for a while now. I just need time to get mentally prepared for the penstrips...

 

How early we talkin?

 

I just don't like to slip the tires at all. Don't want to kick dirt and rocks at the guy behind me. Plus I don't want to tear up the trails.

The earliest you can reserve a site is one month in advance. So we gotta pick a date, and then all shoot for a campsite at midnight one month before the chosen date.

 

i'm pretty sure 80% of my gopro footage is dust

 

For me would have to b after da holidays. Every body seems to drink more lol. So gotah supply da demand.

 

So was it dusty slippery? Or muddy slippery? I can usually handle dusty slippery, but I stay away from muddy with 2WD

 

Super dry and dusty.

 

I'd rather that any day over mud lol

 

So u in for da nex run?

 

Hey my Aunty said her Goodyear location is having a today only special buy 3 get 1 free day. She's in Waipahu Goodyear just call and ask for Buckles or let me know but I may not get on it right away. If you call let her know you're friends of mine and maybe she'll hook up the install or something. Don't know for sure.

 

Yeah...and it was all ova da place!!! I'm betting my air filter is trashed. Gonna check after work today...

 

That one guy did cut down half the Forrest. Must have been Nate's family since it was frontier.
