SurfNTurf Pismo Pics


What a great time! Met great people and love Pismo, the dunes are a blast. I wish I could have stayed longer.
Lots of interesting LC's and other trucks, lots of pics to come!

I posted about it over a week ago. I was hoping some 4R's would come. It was fun and great, great people.
Got some nice comments on my 4R. One guy definitely wanted to trade his JGC for one.

Oh, by far the tire of choice was the MT/R. EVERYONE it seems, was riding them. Great tire!

Milton,
This event was just yesterday. They are there today too but going up Big Falls to Pozo.

I'm sorry for your loss.

On a brighter note, I know TTORA is having an event NEXT weekend! If you or anyone wants to go.

Looks like you guys had a blast. What kind of wheels are on your 4Runner?

That's because they're all rock hounds. ATs are better on the sand than mud tires because MTs tend to dig to china. ATs float better and actually if they're worn then they're even better.

More pics from a LC owner

The Oldsmobile Alero sedan was driven by some crazy girl and the LC guys helped her get unstuck and outta there!

Here is one of the hills we went down. This was my first super steep one and I did some more afterwards to test out the DAC.

This pic was taken by Alvaro, one of the cool LC guys.
