Cliffs insane terrain (1 Viewer)

It's always been bad... But I have found that most people only know trail 1, 3, 10, maybe 44, 13 and 7.... And a few other mild trails. And they have never been on the other 80% of trails... Land cruiser, trail 8, 21, and many others that roll you on your side, and then you winch/drive on your side for 50 yards while packing mud into areas with bearing packing skill and force. My 4 runner hasn't been there in years. It took me a couple years to turn it back into a decent vehicle... I was under it yesterday and there is still Cliffs mud packed in the frame!

I just want to go to do the basic stuff with the family and get used to the 80. It's stick with Michelins. Granted it does have lockers, but still.

80% of those dents by my door/extra cab were caused by one tree root on trail 10. I have since smashed it up a few more times but trail 10 did the major caveing in.

I still have that motor intact in my garage. I don't think I can ever part with it.

wasnt it around 300k miles? (and not an easy 300)

The odometer broke at 270k 5 years before I got it, and the guy put about 110 miles a day on it for those 5 years as a daily. Best case it only had 350k on it.

Maybe time for a timing set & oil change, but other than that, it was just getting broken in.

If the cylinders are still round I could probably re-ring it and call it good. By the end it only ran well when the temp gauge was in the red.

I dang near lost a bottle of private stock when tony's 60 flopped into a "rut". And bill destroyed vicky's camera when he backed into a "puddle".
All within 5 minutes

It's not even wheeling, especially the easy trails. It's just sliding in ruts. You could do it in a geo metro prolly better than an 80 on stock street tires.

If youre lucky and stick to trail 1 you can get it covered in mud, post it on Facebook, drive it to work the next day, maybe get some pin stripes and you can say "Hell, yes I wheel it" for the rest of its mall crawling days.

Or you can take down 3 or 10 or even through one of the "puddles" on 1 and ruin it.

I think you're missing the point....

Nothing like trying to dry out your interior in a monsoon. Lost my phone and radio as well.

These guys have been wheeling the cliffs for along time and hosting events there. They view the park like a crazy ex girlfriend, you see a perky set of tits and a tight ass, and may have even made out with her at some point, but these guys have experienced what a dark succubus she is. So go get a handy from her in the golden corral bathroom between plates of fried chicken, just don't get in too deep or you will have a wrecked truck and a jadded view on the other side. The group has been there, done that and gave you their advice.

Nicely said.

Hahaha, I just made a few people look at me because I laughed out loud in a quiet office. Bravo Gehoffery!
