If I don't have a kid, you can ride with me. I will not know for sure on that for a bit yet.

:wave: Hey guys! I might be up for this run... finally got the ARB working and I'm stoked about giving it a real test but I'll have the GF in town that weekend and Duncan's been trying to lay low lately. We'll see how things pan out though!

Hey everyone, I am in the area and interested in going. I am just a noob and my new MINT 86 4runner only has a 4" lift, 4:88 gears, and lockers, so it's probably not as nice as most of your trucks. May I tag along?

You are welcome to join us...your vehicle should do fine with that setup. Come on out :bigok:

If it's MINT, then it's probably a lot nicer (in looks) than most of our trucks. :hillbill: Just remember, there are a few sections on Martinez where it's possible to get body damage. If that matters to you. :saw:

I would like to go but I really do not want to damage the body. It is mint and only has to door dings. I usually like the mud, snow, and sand. But I am not really into rock climbing. What is the terrain like out there? I would still like to go but not sure if I can go all the way back in where climbing over rocks is required.

sschaefer3 08-05-2008 08:36 PM

Both of these are Rock Crawling trails. That is pretty much most of what we do. Ok, that is pretty much all we do.

Ryan, here are a couple threads to give you an idea what these trails are like:

Also, I predict this weekend will be the return of the mighty ELVOTA.

Keep in mind as well that most of those reports/photos are of the hardest lines at both trails too.

Any word if Tim will be around town that weekend to join? I know he is on a motorcycle tour somewhere in CA.

Tim is back.

Elvis is do able if you take the by passes and have some good spotters/good CB comm. :bigok: . I did Elvis in my 4runner which is mostly stock with very little problems.

I'm wondering with the heat if it would be better to start a little earlier. Especially for those of us without A/C. :flame: Anyone else think so? Meet around 7AM maybe?

lol. That's an early wake up call for me :think: :think: . Still might do come if there is an open seat. Plus, I have to see if Elvota is still alive and wheeling.

sschaefer3 08-06-2008 09:59 PM

7AM !!!

I can still only go 55.

Ok, If I am late, I am on my way, going 55.

toy_tek 08-07-2008 05:58 AM

7am... check.

Steve I thought you were bringing the red truck? or both??

I spoke to Tim last night - said he'd be out of town that weekend.

sschaefer3 08-07-2008 06:04 AM

Just the buggy this time, red truck some other time.

Shouldn't matter to you. You're up at like 5am anyway. Plus I have the longest drive (unless T comes) to get to the gas station (West Siiiiiiiiiiiiiide). :banger:

dlbrunner 08-07-2008 03:20 PM

I may have to work.

I would need an open seat.

I'll kick in for gas.
