[85badger]

Hello everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I just joined TAC today. I've been on Mud for many years and have been lurking on here from time to time. I already know a few of you and look forward to meeting more. A little about myself: I'm located in Wichita, I have a 95 Landcruiser, 96 Lexus LX450 and a 2000 4Runner (currently for sale). I usually wheel in Colorado, been to Moab 3 times, Disney, Tuttle and Clayton, OK. I'm more of a colorado trail kinda guy these days instead of the major rock and mud obstacles that I used to crave. I call it daisy trails but don't be fooled I get crazy every once in awhile!
1995 Landruiser, white, cloth, factory lockers, OME med, 315 Duratracs, ARB Front, 4x4labs rear with dual swing outs, Slee sliders.

My cousins, uncle and I on Hells Revenge.

1996 Lexus LX450, Silver, Factory lockers, OME heavies in front, med in rear, 315 Toyo Open Country, Slee Short Bus Bumper, Warn 9.5 XP, Sliders and rear bumper to come later.

And one for when I was a bit more adventuresome!

Carnage Canyon -- love the name. Saw that in the Colorado Guide book and sounded fun.

Welcome. Nice collection of toys!

That trail is not Landcruiser (80 series) friendly, so I haven't been back!

I bypassed the carnage canyon last time we went out. Seemed like certain body damage. Welcome to the club.

I made it to the pinch rock and turned around, my buddy made it a couple of times but he didn't have a straight piece of sheet metal on his 4Runner, so he wasn't too worried. VDL certain!

I think someone should sell copies of those lazer cut signs on the Colorado trails.

It's intimidating to come around the corner and see that. It lists what your rig needs to be equipped with to make it all the way through. If you can't make it over that first rock then you shouldn't be on it. Not my cup of tea anymore but was fun at the time!

That is AWESOME. You'll fit in well with this group.

We did mainly hard trails that trip as we trailer those trucks so we weren't too concerned with breakage but nowadays I drive my 80 out so I tend to take it easy. However I did try Iron Chest a summer ago...the 80 on 35's didn't like it very much. Tough trail...basically a steap boulder field...

The 80, not loving it much, never heard more scrapping and grinding....oh well had to try it again. My 85 on 37's crawled right up it.

There's a pretty good boulder field at SMORR that the group spent a few hours on getting everyone up this year. Great times.
