6/26 Miller Trail Report

[AMMO]

Looks like you guys had some fun.

I don't mean to pry, and I don't mean to invite myself, but I'm gonna do it anyway. The next time you guys go, would you mind if I tagged along? I'm at stock height, no sliders, but my '96 80 series is locked and I have 285 BFG KO's, no plastic, etc. I'm a fairly seasoned driver, mostly "expedition" driving, but I've been four-wheeling (4x4) for about four years now, with about ten years of off-road desert driving (2WD) and gear-hauling. I'm easy-going, good in a pinch, and I bring enough to share. So can I come? Can I? Can I?

You got your pass.... Anyone has there pass as long as they understand what they are getting into and come prepared! Does trail damage happen, yes. Can it be avoided, sometimes. Does everyone one else who has all ready been there and done that want to wait and spot you over every pebble? Not always. Just be courteous to your fellow run buddies, and know the law of the land and your more then welcome.

Just to set the record straight, I've got a top secret lift and bumper and eveything else you've ever wanted to know... Can't belive a 40's guy anyway what do they know about 80's....

I will tell you what i told the 16 year olds in the parking lot at albersons "yeah that tanks full of NOS this rig jumps to 60 mph in no time." hahhhahahhahhah

watch it or I'll post my Magic Mountain trail report w/ pics! Sliders scraping over a dicey parking cone obstacle, breaking a shock on the speed bumps...

Now that's funny.... I herd clown only does the hard trails in the mall parking lot, you know the ones with speed bumps and angry mom's...

J/K Mike, been hounding this guy for 6 months to come out!

Nice shots of the Miller run. There are a lot of great looking trucks out there now in this group. Nice to see them on a run. I still vote for the Big Bear trails next as a So Cal trip. I still want to explore the San Sevaine trail.

Matt - clean out your pm box dammit. Need to ask you about some Link stuff.

Boy what Matt said! But these guys were all great with two newbies like Victor and me. BTW - Victor's truck was much better prepared! Much better!
Since it's not your first time out, you'll know more of what to bring, etc. I certainly knew going up there was a good possibility that I'd toast my OEM running boards, so when I did - it was ok. Certainly know in the future, I'd like to have my own air (thanks again Ian), etc. Tire repair kit that David had certainly came in handy for him as did the hi-lift jack Sam used. I, at this point (emphasis on 'at this point') don't yet have. Will try to aquire slowly to be better prepared next time.
