I wish I could. I have been going solo to CC and Big Bear and can't really do anything tuff. But I am leaving for a 6,000 mile road trip on Friday. San Diego-> Flagstaff -> Chicago->Detroit->Denver->Lake Tahoe->San Diego.

I will catch up with you guys later.

Yah sorry about putting that other thread out there. I forgot about this one and thought you guys were going elsewhere. I will delete that thread to avoid any confusion.

Is that 15 mile trail from pine valley still open? I had heard that it was closed. Can someone who has done that route lately confirm that it is open or closed?

THat would be a cool way of starting this off. I am in for sure!

Last year I did these trails with a guy who had a bone stock 2nd Gen with bald tires. He smoked his clutch getting through but he made it. I did it without turning the e-locker on in my 99 Taco without too much trouble. Not at all worried about doing this in my Runner w no locker.

Well there is a chance I might be going unlocked...sheesh

My 3rd is making wierd vibrations over 60 when you let on or off the throttle. I think it has to do with the pinion gear or bearing. So Protrux has my truck now and is yanking the 3rd. There was talk of just slaping in nother 3rd with 4.88's until they can get my 3rd fixed.

I just want my 3rd back.

Oh yeah, I just picked up my runner with a third with 4.88s and no locker in it.

Hopefully progear can get the shizzle done and sent up to Protrux by friday.

Damn all these "pro" companies...hahaha
