Brian, you still good? I think were meeting up at hogans around 1200-1230.... give me a call if you want. do you still have hans' number in case you need to reach us, my phone still doesnt work out there....

Red, where ya at? you comin?

 

you guys still looking to fill some seats? I would love to go, got some gas $$$ too...
I've been to Disney once in my old '91 truck...
Maybe I can talk my buddy into taking his '99 Taco TRD. I live in Norman but have been working/staying in Eufaula...
Let me know... Are you camping or moteling... The only toyota I have at the moment is this one

 

We can probably take on one more...i'll get with my buddy and see if hes got anyone riding... a couple people dropped from the weather, but we are still goin... looks like 3-4 trucks... hotel it, it's too freakin cold. i'll pm ya tomorrow morning!

btw thats one heck of a camper, and it doesnt have to be toyota trucks either, we welcome trucks of all kinds

if the TRD comes he'll have another stock truck to play with too, so he'll fit in just fine... we run from stock to locked FR & RR with 36"s

 

For real too cold...
Right on. I've got a new 4runner coming in about a month. It's being fixed right now (insurance rebuild)... Should have it in about a month. I'll for sure have to hook back up with you guys again... well, with the stock trucks for awhile.

 

well two more days... anyone else wanna come

jeremy, sorry i didnt get the pm to ya, you got one now!

 

Yeah, I should have a seat in free in my 2wd truck.... should have that little problem fixed by then.... as well as the carbon monoxide problem. If none of that scares you you'll fit right in!

 

I'm trying to get a buddy and his wife to come along too, he has a stock tundra.

 

Sounds good Brian... we'll see ya out there....

 

Man! Too bad I can't make it... my last grandparent passed away yesterday morning, and as I'm the 2nd closest immediate family, I'm busy all weekend with that....

 

By the way, Cory, any pics from Gruber ORV? I've been wanting to head down there, too! Dangit! I saw this thread too late!

 

Ya I've got some pics from Gruber...

Hey guys, sorry about the mix up, any pics from your trip? How'd it go?

 

That was entirely my fault Brian... Im sorry bout that. No pics that I know of, i think everyone forgot thier camera.... I'll check though

 

Nahhhh, stuff happens no biggie. How'd the chevys work out? Hans manage to not flop on your rig?

 

Didn't flop the whole truck... but the engine kind of flopped on its side in the engine compartment. That motor mount survived a whole 1.05 wheeling trips. Might want to think about upgrading your mounts while you have the truck apart. I know it's a common problem with the 4cyl Toys... guess it's a problem on the V6's as well.

I'm going to have to keep on eye on Cory for the next wheeling trip to make sure he properly fulfills his event coordinator position.

I'm still battling axlewrap. I'm going to tackle it at both end of the truck as I can't say for sure if the front axle is wrapping.... my spotters suck. So we'll go for trackbar V2.0 and some sort of anti-wrap leaf up front.

 

Chevys worked great.... Truck had about 500lbs of people, and 200 - 300lbs of gear and they held up fine!

ya ya.... i know i need to get on the ball as event coordinator.... my bad.

 

I didn't get many pics... too busy driving and trying to convince Cory to actually make a decent attempt at getting through a mud hole. I don't think his rear tires ever got dirty.

 

That is some mud on your rig!!! I was thinking it would be a lot drier than last time we were out there.

Cory, you do ALL the work putting these trips together, I really appreciate it. We just got our wires crossed, not a big deal at all.

Glad to hear you like the chevies, that may be the way to go.

 

Last time we were out we avoided the big mud area so we didn't sink your truck or spend hours getting our trucks unstuck/unhydrolocked.... and it's usually hard to make it out of there without hitting something. And I was on bald tires that time too, so it would have been really ugly. Cory managed to do it once, so he's 2 for 3, and I'm 3 for 3 (or 2 for 3 if you don't count rubbing tires on trees). Mud was impressively thick this time though... it'd really suck up a vehicle and hold onto it.

This was my first trip on the IROK's, and I was really impessed by their mud slinging ability, as the picture shows. I never went faster than 3rd gear low range (which by my quick calculation is about 15mph at 5000 RPM).... and they still put on a heck of a mudslinging show. Mud was too thick and I don't think I could have spun them in 4th, though I didn't try, and I felt like being nice to my transmission and avoiding the 3-4 powershift.

Gives you something to look forward to when you get the 85 done, doesn't it? I'd definitely be hanging onto the 97 for a DD.
