Tacoma Moab Meet 2012!!!!

My buddy is about to sas his 92' yota. He is thinking about coming, but not sure if his lil 3.0L will make it

 

throw it on a trailor!

 

^This. That is what we are going to do with this thing. '94 YJ BIG lift and 37" IROK's.

 

ata boy. my buddy will have something to play with

 

The in-laws are beyond excited and are decently prepared. The YJ is very capable but they have only had it for 6ish months and are still a little leary of pushing it's limits..........but that is why I drive it on a lot of the other things

 

oh ok... my buddy is talking about trying helldorado.... hes not afraid lol

 

I've got a buddy that is going to be out there for a couple weeks with his family. He and his wife may come out to play on a trail or two. He's in a 06 4runner with OME, sliders, and 33's.

 

Helldorado is no joke, but it is a blast. Some of the pics I posted earlier are from when I ran it in my FJ40. It's a very short trail, like 1/4 mile. The day we ran it we started with 5 FJ40s. After the first obstacle there were only two of us left that finished it, and it took us about 4.5 hours.

 

Intense!

 

looking forward to watchin my buddy run it..... box ive always wondered if we could get my taco up over gatekeeper.... i think with a little planning of a good line it wouldnt be too bad

 

i'll spot ya

 

I can't WAIT!!!! I'm excited to be in the offloading mecca of the world with some awesome rigs and people!

 

That would be a good idea, but then you would have to find a large truck to haul it with

 

I dont know if he would be up for helldorado to drive it but I might.........let's do it

 

Sliders should be here tomorrow! And ordered my Rear Elite Bumper. Think i might be pretty well armored up for this even now! Other then skids

 

The main line at the entrance is GNARLY! There are super built rigs that struggle with the entrance. There is a "easier" line to get into the trail that isn't as bad but still wasted a couple of the trucks that were with us.

Here's a friend of mine going in the "easy way". the main line is straight up the middle of this photo toward his front tire. Those boulders are HUGE and trying to climb them is tough enough but then you need to stay straddled over that crack to get through it which is pretty tough.


Here's what happened to him about 5' past the previous photo


Busted knuckle/axle shaft, axle housing split, broken shock.


I winched him back out and it took down one of the other trucks that drove back to the staging area, put his rig back on the trailer and pulled the entire knuckle and short side axle out of his own truck and drove back in to swap it onto the busted truck just so we could get it back to the trailer.


Hmm. this doesn't look right. knuckle totally torn out at the studs, with borken studs.


Another view of me coming in the "easy" way


after that ledge it transitions to this which is extremely tight.

Fun trail. Rest of the photos of that run here: http://www.fjexpedition.com/pics/gallery/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=15467

 

That looks nuts!

 

awesome!!!!!


yea my truck will never see that trail for sure haha...unless i can get bigger tires, new front and rear HC bumpers and a locker...so yea, probably not gonna happen haha

sweet pics!

 

Helldorado is most definitely a two locker trail. Make sure you also have a good winch to get yourself out at the end. Very few can actually drive out the last obstacle.

 

I'd be up for trying it.
