I'll be braking in the gears, but let me know if you need any help on sat.

Tim - After you fit the 35s on the camry I can give it a custom paint job that Elvota speaks so highly of.
Is it metal flake orange mang??

Are you going to get any sleep over the next two nights thinking about this?

You better hope I don't hurl in your truck! I think it would be safer to repel down that one than ride down it.

The way we run the trail, we go up that, not down. That's the waterfall everyone had to winch up last time. The waterfall actually looks worse in person. Westy has since run the trail and was able to drive it on a right line you can't see in the pic. That means we all have to drive it this time.

Hey, I actually had NO idea that was you! I just did a google search for Miner's Revenge and liked that pic! Small world! I gotta say I did pick it because it was a good looking toyota though.

If you did the Axle Alley fall, this one is nothing. But wait, I drove the AA one and not this one? Well it will be fine.

Westfall knows how to drive it now, he can show us.

I've had Westfall "show me" how to drive up many things... seems to rarely work when it's my turn.

I think it will be a fun run. Looking forward to it.

supplies

I was wondering if this group could list the basics of what they are bringing so I know what I need. I have a full axle and birfs that I probably wont need now with the upgrades that I would usually carry. My beast is already so heavy I dont want to weigh it down more than I have to. If we all carry a little something the others might need it could save the day

Theres already going to be 500+ lbs. of worthless weight in the seats

Dont worry, since you have the heaviest vehicle we thought it would be best if you winched/anchored us all down the fall...then we are all going to watch you slide down.

I will tell you...and maybe show you. Its a weird and intimidating climb because there is a sheer drop to the driver side and room for error is slim.

I thought this fall was more intimidating than the AA one because the line required to drive it was very close to the edge of the drop off with a sheer drop off. Similiar to the Pyeatte draw climb.

It's all about the skinny pedal

It is going to be a good time. We'll get everyone up the falls one way or another, no need to worry about that, yet. We also determined a better way to winch up the fall last time as well.
