Some of the Colorado crew had a good time on the trail today. 6 Yotatech members got together to run Slaughterhouse Gulch in Park County Colorado. Why its called that is a mystery to me. There is no Slaughterhouse or any kind of house... not even any ruins of any buildings like many of our trails have.

We met at around 9 AM and were done before 2 PM. There were lots of pictures taken and I hope if any are put online they will be linked by the photographer. I am uploading most of mine to Webshots. Here are a few highlites.










I'll post again when i'm done uploading, probably not tonight though.

 

Sweet Matt who all attended? I can't wait to get back where I can find others to go wheeling with!

 

In pic 1 I think I see jx94148 and Darren. I believe pic 2 is Darren.

 

In the first picture from left to right is my '87 turd, HaveBlue's 96 4Runner, Greg's Lexus 470 with 2 factory elecric lockers, Darren's 2002 4Runner, Mojo_Risin's 4Runner, and Sizzletits' Tacoma.

I'm still not done with the pictures, soon though.

 

I had a good time yeterday!! Thanks Matt for heading this up. I didn't get to take many pics - but here are a few of mine:







And my lame-a$$ poser shot:


Oh- and one more pic - yesterday really proved that I need one of these:

Hey Matt....

are you running 33's? or 32's?

Man, I gotta tell y'all, I really miss living out there. I hope to one day, maybe once I am done with school, to head back out that way. Oh well, SC has its perks too

 

Thanks for sharing, boys! As for my pictures, well, they're still in my camera! I still live in the analog world. :alien:

 

Here's my pictures on Webshots.

Someone asked about my tires. They are 32x11.5x15 Goodyear MTRs. I love them.

 

Looks like a great day. Pretty dry too. I didn't see any pictures of stump hill. You did go up it, and down the back side to make a loop didn't you?

John, your rig looks good with those MTR's on stock rims don't they.

I was wondering how long it would be until Darren smashed those side light's. I saw him come close on several occasions at Left Hand.

 

I think we did a "modified" version of Slaughterhouse gulch. We did do a loop but I don't think it involved Stump Hill. - If Stump hill is that first hill when you come in then everybody (except me) went up stump hill then came back down.

I didn't realize that hill was actually probably the "real" start to slaughterhouse gulch.

At least that's my take on it.

(oh and I do like the MTR's - but even they couldn't keep me from spinning out on some of those moguls)

They're loose enough to where they will give and will take a good blow, which they really did. Unfortuneately, the covers aren't as durable. Hehe. Funny thing is, I hit the one on the other side on the way out! Gotta love the off-camber stuff. :rolleyes:

Matt, those pics turned out excellent. Thanks for putting them up!

 

I had a blast!
We have to do that again.

My pictures are on my HD at home. Won't be able to post them until I have internet access again. (Earthlink says the hardware is on the way)

 

do u have a write up or a site on the fog lights u installed under your headlights? those were cool.

 

I don't have a write-up yet. I can make one. Give me a week or so.
I actually installed those before I was aware of the Toyota forums (Yota tech and ODW)

I was inspired by the Lexus RX300. I liked the way the suplimental lights looked under the primary beams. I almost used the Lexus lights, but they were way too expensive and required too much modification.
I came across the PIAA 001 Solitaires in the Performance Products catalog and used the measurements they had listed against the measurements on the trim below the headlight.

Like I said, give me a few days to a week and I'll e-mail a write-up to you.

 

cool, right on

 

As promised....







I didn't get too many "action" shots because I was in the middle. By the time I got out of my truck, everyone else was past the "action."

 

let me know when you guys get together again!! aol instnat messenger=rickgoof or pm me on here, id love to do a littl wheelin with you guys.

I'm thinking of putting together a run in April, May or June up to Mosquito Pass. It depends on the snowfall between now and then. I figured I'd call my uncle in Fairplay to see how the snowpack is up there.
