Thanks for the speedy upload! I agree, same month next year again! Nice and dry.
Truck wash meet anyone? haha.

 

wow...i am jealous. i wish i had the time and money to make that trip. even though my truck is stock, i think i could have almost kept up based on these vids. looks like a lot of fun was had. if you do make it an annual thing, i might try to make it up next year. i'm working on getting my wife into offroading as well, that way she will understand the need for things like armor, winch, and more ground clearance

 

IT was an amazing trip! Whipsaw was good to us - no recoveries and weather was perfect.

Even the bugs weren't as bad as I'd heard - but then again, I think they all attacked Bluesteel...

 

Cool vids, thanks for sharing

 

Yah yah yah, you had a great time while I worked! Looks like fun.

Thankfully I already have a trip planned for when I'm up north!

 

Kristen, you guys were pretty much ahead of the pack the whole time so this was just another one of you that I happened to take.

Teaser for now.

 

I'm a tad bit jealous. Ok. A lot jealous.

 

This is the spot where I found out my transfer case shield is stronger then my transfer case....

I took the same line, but hit my transfer case on the second rock.

Good to see you all had fun on the trip!

 

That black Tacoma was going over that like he was running from the cops!!

 

T'was a blast! the only bump i got was in that vid. Just a smooth tap on the frame.
Count me in next year!!

 

I took a gnarly knock to my tranny crossmember at the rocks sticking out of the ground right after that little section.

 

Same here, next year will be fun! Ill bring a lot less stuff, my suspension dropped a bit bringing too much gear.

 

is this a run that can be done in a stock taco?

 

Hopefully should have an offroad rig built up for next year. Definitely don't want to miss out twice on this ride.

From what I've heard and seen, you need good tires and at least a small lift to tackle a lot of it.

 

For the most part, stock truck will make it. There's usually bypasses on the harder stuff. Stockers will scrape some though, thats for sure.
At the minimum, good all terrain tires are needed since there are lots of rocks!

 

How was it for bush wacking + scratches?

 

Most of the trail is ok. Wide enough, but some sections had overgrown branches that we had to plow through.
