Fall Crawl 2022 - Discussion Thread (1 Viewer)

[CakeMountain]

Had a great time again this year but ended up screwing up my steering again (and the VSC lights come on as soon as I start moving) even though I took it easy...no idea whats wrong. Seems like a hell of a lot more got broken this year than the last. Terrible video below of @CakeMountain's tire popping. Still not sure how that happened since those rocks weren't sharp.

I'm still overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of the club members who towed me out, changed my tire, and replaced a broken CV axle all with a level of enthusiasm that was absolutely amazing. It's something I'll never forget. Because I was so touched and wanted to pay this act forward, I donated $500 to the Capital Area Food Bank in honor of the CLCC. Overall, my family had an amazing time, and it's all due the wonder people who attended CLCC. Thank you. Additionally, I'll be hosting the Thursday night meal next year, so think of ideas of what you might want and I'll put out a poll as time comes closer to Fall Crawl 2023.

I did realize something yesterday after all the trouble of getting jacks under the truck and lined up. We could have lowed the AHC system by about 4 inches and made the whole process a littler easier. I'll have to remember that tip for next time. On the drive home, the only problem we encountered was that I forgot to put the truck back into 4hi and was momentarily frightened of transmission issues when it kept revving to 4k as I tried to accelerate. The truck drives like nothing happened. The paint and body panels are another story...

Can't wait to get out there and get the truck back on the trail. Once again, thank you for ensure my family and I had a great time.

Do you happen to have contact info? I believe Tim is @Jester, but he doesn't seem to get online much here.

Thanks!

man, that truck looked sweet! THEN I saw that it has a v-8 too! the rap sheet of work done probably surpasses the asking price.

A V8? Last I knew, it had a 3RZ. A V8 in that would be amazing

It has a LS 5.3, 4L60 trans and a Atlas t-case. 5:29's? and locked front and rear. The truck does well and was well put together. It has a lot of extra features that one can not see.

I did some digging around and found the build thread over at AA.. That is an awesome build.

Grabbed some pics on friday but they don’t do it justice

I left quite a lot of drool on that LS taco myself. Considering the amount of work done, the price is entirely reasonable.

@CakeMountain im glad y’all made it home and enjoyed yourselves enough to come back again next year.

One thing that I thought about in hindsight is that your front diff didn’t leak any oil once we removed the CV, at least from what I can remember. It’s probably low if it doesn’t leak at all. I would drain and fill it when you get a chance.

I’ll echo both of those statements. Especially the second one!

Well I figured out my clunking and steering issue. The drivers side inner tie rod clip was a tiny bit loose so the inner had about 5° of play when wrenching on it. That’s what I get for not having the right tool to tighten it and reusing a $3 clip after my trail fix. Lesson learned and at least its an easy fix

Hey there, I'm Phillip with TLCA. I was wondering if this is your photo and if you'd be interested in sharing it and letting us use it for a photo in the calendar we are putting together for this year's events. Could you email me at execvp@tlca.org. Thanks in advance!

Didnt get a chance to snap many photos at all this time since I was in the lead and spotting alot.... but here are a few nice snaps

first is my yearly shot for my laptop background.... 3 years and counting for the same shot!

The rest were from the ride on Saturday... It was a good ride. slow and steady pace with 3 of the 200 series and 2 new faces to Fall Crawl. A good time was had by everyone and most importantly..... no damage or breakage!!

Faith (apologies, I don’t think I have her handle) was co-pilot both days and took a ton of photos.

If your trail leader is kind enough to stop for lunch, the big rock garden at the top of Mountain is a cool spot to hang out for a while.
