How'd the riding go on Sunday?

Chris

 

Here's the pics I have from the weekend:

Here's Paul(Bratik) flexing out his rig:


Here's the backend of Brett's rig(Dragr1):


I think this is Ryan's rig(RDawgs):


Here's a pic of Brett taking the bypass:


Isn't that Trail Carnage Prototype Rear Bumper sweet?


Here's Ryan not taking the bypass:


Here's Paul also not taking the bypass:


Here's a sweet pic of the water crossing on Trail 5:





Here's Paul scoping out the more difficult line through the creek:




Here's Paul taking the harder line through the creek:


Here's Paul examining my undercarriage, along with his dog:


Here's me fully flexed out:


15 psi baby:


Not too bad, but by the time I'm done with it I'll be able to walk over stuff like that:


I think this is Janathon on our night ride on Friday:


Here's Mike(INSrunner) and Doc(Doc279) making their approach on the creek crossing on Trail 5:


For a stock 2nd gen, toyota's never fail to amaze me. Doc did a great job tackling the trails at Tellico:


I can't tell, but I think this is Shazad(Sdastg):


Here's nearly the full group. There were 16 of us! Wow!


Here's the full group:


Here's all the driver's of those fine rigs:


Here's Shazad coming up a fun little section on Trail 4:


Can't tell who this is:


Here's Paul trying to roll it. He could have made this move without having his front locker. Sweet! Paul was awarded the Spotter award, and he always put on a good show taking the more difficult or different lines than everyone else:


Here's Mike coming down a fun section on Trail 4:


Here's Ernie navigating the same section:


Shazad:


Brett and Paul hanging on for the ride of his life:


Like I said, here's Paul always taking the different line:


Here's Shazad bouncing over some rocks:


Paul:


Who is that ugly guy?:


Here's Ernie coming down Trail 8:


Man, I wish a I had a rig like that:


This was the highlight of the day right here. This guy rolled his jeep 3 times down the side of trail 1 when he took his eye off the road. He had 4 people in there, two of which didn't have seatbelts on, but they all come out of it fine. Can you beleive that crap?:


Damn!


Here's his tire tracks:


The thing still ran and drove:


He made it that far driving back up the hill:


Almost there:




That's all the pics I've got!

I had a blast. Thanks to everyone for making this event so cool. Thanks to Firetaco and dragr1 for help with a broken cv shaft. I didn't take many picks but I’ll post what i have later. I think I got some pic of Chris climbing vertical wall on Fein's Ford.

 

So, what did you guys think of the t-shirts?

 

That guy in the Jeep was the same guy that laughed at us for wheeling our 4Runners. Glad everyone was alright, but that's what he gets for laughing JK! I'm glad we had a safe weekend that made the trip that much better.

 

I love them, they look awesome! Good job Momo and Brian on getting these things made!

 

I like how T-shirts came out. Very clean and nice design. Thanks man!

 

Looks like you guys had a great trip

We dont have any terrain like that over here on the West Coast--all we have is sand and rocks.

All those silver 3rd gens had me confused.

 

i had a great time meeting everyone and hope to it again in the fall.

ill be getting my pics and vids up in the next few days...

 

Great pics.
Judging by the first pics, it looked like only Silver 4Runners were allowed. Glad you all had a safe trip. I am with Marc, I like your terrain. I am going to be heading to Ouray, CO in late June to see something different.

 

WHAT A FANTASTIC WEEKEND and yes Brian I am still EASY !

I have a brand new admiration for my stock 1990 4 runner - "Mable"
kicked some Tellico ASS ! I constantly heard nothing but praise for
Toyota from the others on the trail. I was afraid that you guy's would be pulling me out and over all weekend - but this thing walked over everything !
I deserve a TELLICO TESTED sticker for sure.

I'll probably spend 1500.00 - 2000.00 this week ordering stuff - not that I needed any of it ! Thanks to God for the weather and the new found friends ! You guy's that did not make it missed one of the GREATEST events that I have ever attended. What great people I met !

Welcome to the board ERNIE - I can't remeber your wife's name but she is a great woman ! Got work to do - Let's start planning the next one NOW.

Doc Staley

Running Board's - why did you leave Saturday night ?

 

I should have some of the highlight videos up by tomorrow! Right now I'm installing my chainlink fence! Fun, fun!

Chris

 

Hey Doc!
I had a few things I really needed to get to here so I headed on back, I sure had a great time. and yes stock rocks! running boards and all. You are right about the crew that showed up, what a great bunch of people! and such fine weather. We got to keep this thing go each year.

You west coast guys really need to come down SOUTH and do TELLICO it is awesome!!!

 

How was the wife?

 

Hey Doc, Thanks again for meeting up with me! Too bad we didn't get to wheel a whole lot together, just friday's night run, but it was a blast! I'll drop off my roll tonight, and try to scan some pics in! man am I glad to be home, but at the same time, I miss hangin with yall and wheelin!

My front end is sagging like a FOOT. I looked under to see why, and realised it was because of the 40 lbs of mud under my skid!!! gotta wash that out tonight!
any one got pics of me shazad or chirs is the mud pit?

 

I got the pics into my laptop ... but it won't let me on to the internet from there. It keeps going to if.centrix.com and then it says page can not be displayed ... I hate computers.

yeah I really want to see the video from the mudpit

Chris- we don't do too much sunday morning .. it was nice, easy quick run .. on account of some of us wanting to get out by 2 .. still worth it though

 

What trails did you hit?

 

You are welcome - I thought about you Sunday when I left but I also knew that you were in good hands. Aspen and Layla were great - you are a lucky man - my wife was actually pissed that I talked her out of going due to the rain - she will be going on the next trip - simply because of the SMILE on my face - I can not quit grinning - just an awesome trip!
Sorry about the drive for you guy's - I was tired when I got home - I could'nt imagine a 10 hour drive on top of the weekend.

Standing invitation if you ever want to come back to Tennessee - I have plenty of room at the house and Tellico is only a couple of hours away - Chris ( Ravencr ) lives 1/4 mile from me. You have the telephone number !

 

those are definitely some great pics.

brian, the shirts are awesome. they turned out way better than i imagined. thanks for setting that up.

now if only people had some pics of me rig in action

 

It looks like you guys really had fun. I was also wondering hw the shirts turned out. I never had a chance to see the final printed piece. Hopefully i can make it to the next one.
