Great run today! I met up with CGuava (90 4Runner buggy), dcastell (85 4Runner on 47's), and Brian Ellinger in his Formula Toyota buggy (37" stickies). We dropped in @ 9:45 and we're all out by 12:45. That included a 20 minute break to work on dcastell's broken front hub & outer 35 spline stub (broke from his last BV Carnage trip on the exit and didn't know) and helping spot some guys in Sami's.

Dcastell broke right above the big drop for Bunker Hill. Actually, it was the best place for him to break. He was able to drive out Freedom in 3-wheel drive. CGuava's 4Runner did well. All the time spent in the garage seemed to payoff for sure. Brian's FToy made Patriot look easy. Sweet little buggy for sure.

Haven't ben out since Nov. last year. Felt good to finally get out.


Brian, Christian, and myself


Glad I got a rear bumper started. I tested it a couple of times today.


Lined up at the exit.


Brian's slight flop




He was able to drive out backwards and ended up making the exit on the next attempt.


Little butt pucker moment for CGuava on the exit. Throwing the driver's side wheelie was a nice touch


Getting the winch hooked up for a slight tug out.

I took more video than pics so I'll get the video edited and posted soon.

I was able to drive everything but the exit without a winch. I was happy about making A-hole cleaner this time. I couldn't drive the right side of Coffin Rock. I tried it but almost but it on it's side. Decided to back out and try the left line. Took me a couple tries but I finally made it.

E_ROCK & CUbuff4Runner were right, that section right before A-hole is TOUGH!! I nailed it on my first try but I was worried about making it.

 

These pics were front CGuava
























Some of the other rigs down there hanging with us.

 

Nice! That looked like a fun trip. It got to get my junk back together.

Those are some really nicely built rigs. Does the Ftoy run a anti-wrap bar? It sure looks like there is one in the picture. Any rear wheel hop out of the exit?

 

Yes, you do! It was weird not running it with you.

The FToy does run an anti-wrap bar. No wheel hop at all. I don't know if the sticky tires would make a difference?? It was absolutely impressive to see that buggy climb the exit!

 

Awesome pics. Looks like you guys had fun!
