Met up with a couple guys yesterday from from the Norcal TTORA board and Rockalot from Yotatech. One of the guys from TTORA was in a stock 05 TRD Tacoma that he had never really wheeled before so we took him up Eagle Lakes trail to the Lakes and messed around on some other obstacles up there. He did really well for his first time and for how his truck was set up! After going up Eagle Lakes he had to get going so he headed out while the rest of us went up Fordyce. Rockalot and Hytenor from TTORA were in very well built swapped, dual cased, double ARB locked rigs that just owned everything that the trails threw at them. I was in my truck and did my best to keep up with them We headed down Fordyce to the first creek crossing and back then ended up going up Signal Peak as a spur of the moment kinda idea. Fordyce was pretty tough, but I did way better than the last time I went down after all that I've put into my truck the locker and crossmember got a lot of good use Anyways enough with the writing and on to the pics!

I won't be headin up there again this year, but I'll be goin up for sure next summer, hopefully goin through the whole way! I'll let ya know and I'll have another trip planning thread going next summer, I do it every year.

 

Nice, I would like to run Fordyce this summer also. Haven't seen the winch hills yet...lol... but I have heard about them.

some of the toughest wheeling of the day was just before the river

gotta get across that to keep going. Every year many rigs are swamped by this crossing and a few get washed down stream!

Cant wait till this weekend when my buds and I cross the stream and continue down the Fordyce Trail.

 

Awesome pictures! That camera you have is sweet!! You have any of me goin up that big rock section where we were right after lunch?
