Back to the topic of tube benders, I built my bumper with a fairly nice hydrolic one they had in the metals shop at my high school it took a little getting used to and it even kinked a couple pipes but as long as you use plenty o lube on the dies it worked nicely not sure if the same would go for a cheaper harbor freight one but I don't see why not. Just my 2 cents and if you guys wanted to throw together a run id definitely make the drive to go.

Well toyota's are pretty capable in stock form. and it can at least keep up on the trails around here. With some mud treads you are good to go! the ponds are nothin special just out in white city. There are a few videos on youtube. But its like intense rock crawlin deep water and some mud!

I didn't realize that's where you were talkin' i've seen those videos but I guess I didn't realize they were in Oregon. I don't think my lil pickup on 31's would do much of anything there though lol

well the ponds are like a giant skate park for trucks with small medium n large ponds and obstacles. You can wheel around and have fun in a subaru even so its still a good place to meet up and get to know each other a little bit. I personally like early to mid spring just cause the water is pretty cold this time a year!! I would be willing to go out there. I went through the side of the big pond on christmas. I started to bog down ( all alone out there) with my son and he says while holding on tight " c'mon dad your gonna make me swim on christmas" haha

White city! Its got a lot of different things out there. A toyota on 31's can do alot out there. so many different things to do. They have articulation bumps. Random trails. Mud water and wash-outs. But i've been stuck out there alone not fun haha. But there is usually someone there to pull you out. There is a guy out there in a huge military 6x6 on 40's that mobs around and pulls people out haha
