I'll be going up there next month, some time. Haven't been to Bald in years. Maybe we'll get a group together for a trip.

Nice pics Toyotech.

let us know when you go adam. might join you
yep we need to do this again soon. my friend lagged on me and i woke up kinda late
i been working on a few things because every time i go i learn something new. i like how every time i have gone i had at least one mod done so its always a slightly different ride hahaha.

on a side note. a 2005+ taco trd off road had to back down on the way up because he couldnt get past a certain section. he told me to go . i got it on the 1st try lol. i waited for him of course and he finally got it but followed my line

Thanks Chef. The truck is running Great so far. I only have about 1,500 on the rebuild but it purrs pretty good. Although if i had my 5.29's in it would be alot more of a comfortable drive up the mountain! lol....but me and Cougar69 have been making a little progress towards making that happen. And very soon it will get the suspension reworked to hopfully gain about 3 inches so i can finally put my high-steer on too!

P.S. The whole "crawling fever" thing is definitely in effect!....here is a short video of my truck idling in Double Low (or AKA "Ultimate") going up the final grade that takes you to the tower of Bald Mt. You can also hear how well she lopes if you listen carefully. Keep in mind this is with 4.10's, the 5.29's will make it even slower!

Back from the dead. Anyone planning on going up?? Heard about this other place called Buck Rock up the 180 that sounds pretty fun too.

I have not done Buck Rock but I hear it is a fire road with only a couple obstacles to play on.

There is an event up at Huntington Lake this weekend, see:

It's put on by the Lake Shore Resort, see:

We'll have a few rigs up there playing in the competition

BigMike
