Wheeling at Rausch Sunday November 15

[jtaco1]

If any one is interested, there are a few of us headed up to Rausch Creek on Sunday, November 15. We are looking at running blue-blacks and maybe a few black.

It will be myself, Andy in his Tacoma with 33's, rea locker and dual cases, and our buddy Jeremy in a Tacoma with 35's, rear locker and blower.

We are going to meet in the staging area around 8:30-9:00 am to the right as you come in.

So how was the run? Got any pics?

Great, the weather was perfect in the low 70's a sunny all day. We ran a number of blue black and black trails. Almost flopped it on Yellow Jacket twice and it felt tippy on a part of 1a, damn hard top. I did a number of 3rd gear assaults at some obsticals since the front didn't want to get over them with the IFS.

At the end of the day we were putzing around on the comp course and I was trying a few different things when it seemed like the truck should have climbed no problem, turned out I was wheeling in 2 wheel drive but it still did okay.

Carnage report was the gas tank skid plate got bent up, should have went 1/4", and hte rear output on the t-case is leaking pretty good. I have a new seal coming from Marlin within the next week or so. Also got a few more dents in the body.

Wheeled with three other Tacomas, Andy, Jeremy and a guy named Mike from NY. Turns out that Andy will be getting the buyback on his Tacoma like I did with mine, so we will be tearing into that soon.

No pictures as we forgot the camera, but Mike got some. I'll have to see if I can get a copy.

I think it is time to do the SAS this winter since the front end is really holding me back now and it beats on us inside. Dana said it felt like she was in a car accident the next morning. Once I sell my MT/Rs I will start the cutting.

Finally got pictures form the one person in our group that took pictures, not too many since we were moving pretty good all day
