UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Took my grade-school daughter on a covid date: got takeout and had a picnic in the back of the Tacoma, then found a playground that was open. It was actually pretty fun.

Just finished getting all the chainsaw gear loaded to go cut down a big old Centerville walnut tree in the morning.

 

Just shuttled rush yeesterday. Probably doing some shuttle laps tomorrow there as well

 

You shuttled rush? Just pedal it. Can bang a full rush lap out in an hour easy. That drive from the eq center to the drop point prob takes >50% of the time spent pedaling up.

 

The Mrs saw people pushing DH bikes in full pads and FF helmets up Anthill in GW the other day. Never underestimate Utards...

 

Normally we would but my buddy just had a recent epilepsy diagnosis, uphills were a struggle for him last week.

 

Almost, can't quite get that far yet up Manti Canyon. I did see some reports of others that were on Skyline up north of Fairview, but they couldn't get to the southern portion due to snow.

 

Guys, a good friends tacoma was stolen from the South / West Valley SLC area last night.
2019 Toyota Tacoma Sport.
License plate F578xc
Any info please call Eli @ 4356591599

 

I'll keep an eye out for that shit.

 

Oh man, that sux. I’ve been there done that. Luckily got mine back. Hope the same for your buddy.

 

Thread has been quiet lately friends. After weeks (possibly months) of putting it off im going to do my diffs and t case. What grade oil are you guys using? My manual has 3 different options... 75w90, 80w90, 75w140 for rear..

 

I heard Mirror lake hwy is open to just after Bald Mountain pass. May head up there soon and see how camp-able it is with the snow!

 

Any good places around here to let the pup go for a swim? He gets hot being a black dog in the Utah summer.

 

You can go to just about any canyon lake/reservoir and let the dog swim there with the rest of the state

 

If you are willing to make the drive, Strawberry Reservoir is pretty great and mostly empty



Edit: Not sure on dog rules though

 

Nice looking rig.

 

Just not the Cottonwoods or Bells canyons. Those are watershed areas and dogs are off limits.

Oops. Sorry you’re talking about down south.

 

I tackled my frozen cams and LCA replacement project this morning.



I prevailed! All shiny and new!


The aftermath. The $30 I spent for the 3 pack of Diablo blades was worth its weight in gold! I used all three, but it made the 8 cuts relatively drama free! Tried to bump my 5100's up to 2.5" but the cup is corroded to the shock body. So that was a non starter.

 

Nice! How long did it all take?

 

Took about 4 hours. Started about 10 am, finished about 2 pm.
