North UTAH Meet and Greet

North UTAH Area - Thought it would be cool to find a local spot to check out the other Toyota's in the area, or maybe arrange a trail run.

Will it just be a meet up or will we do some trail run? There is not alot of places open this time of year. All I really know of is 5 mile area. I have never done the rattlesnake and constrictor trail out there. My buddy said that it's a good trail but the very last part is almost imposible.

I think it would be sweet to do a trail run (but my truck is near stock lol). I have heard about five mile, supposedly rattlesnake is an easy trail. Or, we could just do a quick meet up to plan something. I'm down for anything.

That's a nice truck, where did you find the videos? I'd like to see what that trail is all about.

My buddy has a jk and last weekend some of the jeep guys ran the trail and there was a few stock jeeps that did the trail. I'm sure your truck could do it.

Just looked up some videos on YouTube. This is the end of the constrictor.

Here are some pictures that a member(wormhole) posted, it doesn't look bad at all.

Well from what I have heard is that rattlesnake leads into constrictor, I think some of the more intense videos could really be constrictor. Because they look compleatly opposite.

Makes sense. I heard the end of the constrictor is pretty tough, my brother said his rig was having a hard time. (random pic, just cause i have it)



So what weekend are we thinking about?

Sundays would be fine with me. You might as well beat up your old skid plate before replacing.

What Sunday's work. How many people are going on this? Also I don't have a skit plate for it right now, never hit anything without one but I thought it would be nice to have one, is it alright if my buddy comes along in his jk. He has been on the trail before,

Any weekend excluding the 10th+11th works for me.

Vehicle-wise it looks like traben27 wants to go with his 4Runner, i will be going in my Pickup, my brother will be going in his Pickup, and then you in your 4runner. thecomedian46 want's to join in his Pickup but his rig is taken apart at the moment so it's a maybe. Also my brother is going to get some of his Toyota buddies to come.

If you don't have one you should just probably put it on to be safe, just in case you want to try something tough.

Yeah man your friend should come along, my brother in-law may bring his XJ.
