WOW! Looks like a good turn out.. I missed out!! Didn't do any wheeling. Had a surprise visit from my wife's uncle that flew in from Seattle so was kind of stuck at the in-laws...and when that happens a lot of :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer: happens...

Brett, any issues with rubbing at all with the new lift and tires?

Also were lockers required for any of the climbing up some of those steeper trails? Mine don't lock up... need to clean the actuators and see if I can get them to engage again.

Another trip I missed out on..:bang: maybe the next one.
 
Mattafact, what size wheel spacers are you running on the Tundra rims? Thanks.



Another run with a good turnout.
How about a snowrun when the white stuff falls all over the place?

All of us were three wheeling quite a few times so this was a good test. Fronts rubbed maybe one time at full lock and full stuff but very minor. The rear passenger rubbed pretty good at full stuff, rear driver would rub too a bit. No tire damage and flares are still secured. Seems to rub on the inner fender lip and the rear plastic inner wheel well. LCA will fix the rear inner liner rubbing, panhard will help the fender lip rubbing, and it looks like I can either add larger rear bump stops or grind about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the inner fender lip. Or change my 1.5" spacers for 1.25".

I don't think lockers are required at all (mine were off 95% of the time) but there were two or three situations I was real glad since this was my first time wheeling ever. There are bypasses for everything anyway.
 
My passengers took lots of pictures (139) and I uploaded here:

Here is some 2 wheel action... He took the harder line for fun I think.

We caught up to a caravan of jeeps out for some fun.

We waited for 10 minutes or so while a couple jeeps tried for a harder section. They waited at the top for us to go through and pass them. I locked for this and had no big issues.

'The wall' got my fender flare pretty good. It was a rush.

I'm running 1.5" Spidertrax spacers. If I lose my flares I'm going to try it with no spacers. A couple guys on here are doing that and it looks good.

I'm down for a snow run.
 
Killer pics. Many of those give a bit of good perspective to many of the climbs and angles. Hope you guys don't mind, but I may take a few of these for my albums.
 
Was I only on 2 wheels here?

You had that right rear way up off the ground. It was pretty cool seeing a stocker do all that.

Some of those pictures are a little artsy with the perspective but some others really do give a sense of the steepness. I have to bring that guy next time, he takes some good pics. :D
 
Looking at the pics, I know there was a lot of flexin' going on. Kovsky, how did the 37's work out? Get much rubbing?
 
80 is back on track and I am SOO bummed to have missed this! I was dying to flex out the truck and hangout.

I posted above where I thought it was rubbing but I was wrong. I found a place to stuff them today and the rears are only rubbing when articulated right where the stock mudflaps bolt into the body. The fender lips and flares are fine. Once I put landtank's lower control arms on it should be fine as it moves the tire forward. The only other issue is if I were to fully load the rear axle evenly upward and bottom out the suspension I may (probably will) hit the inner fender lips with my 1.5" spacers on.

The fronts rubbed once and just a tiny bit. All I did there is take about 2 inches off the inner front bumper cover which you can't see at all from the outside.
 
How about we havea do over for those that missed. Maybe take the trail to Arrowhead? What is Pilot Rock?
 
Do over? Yes please since I missed, but just not this weekend... Or are we too close to the holidays?

I've got help my brother figure out what the hell is wrong with his 60 and the lurching it does when going at slow speeds.....:mad:
 
I'm down for a do over. Gotta make it quick though before the snow starts pouring in. There were already lots of ice patches and it was freezing cold. Still babying my chapped lips from that run. A couple buddies are talking about going this Tuesday or Sunday. Let me know what you guys think.
