You can find it on Google Earth and get the coordinates from that if you need them.

Just follow the caravan of 1000 Toyotas heading up I-70.

Hi. I'm new to Rising Sun. Glen forwarded this thread to me and I'm interested. Hopefully things (work and personal life) will allow me to make it.

Excellent! Another modified 3rd Gen. - Welcome.

Come prepared, bring a real shovel, be interactive with the group and you'll learn some new tricks and have a lot of fun! Come in tennis shoes and a hoodie and your vehicle's tires are worn out your going to be miserable!

BTW.....you're going to get stuck.....thats the fun of it!

All are welcome, but remember, none of us Toyota guys are going to be carrying parts or tools that will work for his rig if he breaks. No room in your runner?

This Is Going To Be Big!!!!!!!!!!

His Jeep doesn't break! He has what he needs. He may ride with me but he likes to drive.

Famous last words.

I think Martin's just being cautious...we had a Jeep break on this Snow and Pizza Run, luckily he was close enough to drag his junk onto a trailer and get home.

 

[Gerdo]

I know. Things break and we have to be prepaired.

 

[subzali]

yep, a Land Cruiser broke on the S/P run in 2006 but they had the tools/skills to repair it

If you're running chains, make sure you put them on tightly enough. I had a friend help me by doing the chains on 2 tires on the 2006 S/P run. Guess which one was installed too loosely, broke and destroyed my emergency brake cable?

 

[MDH33]

Speaking of chains, does anyone have some that would fit 34x10.50-15 I could borrow or purchase??

 

[subzali]

you just need to run lower pressure Martin, chains are for weenies

Since my tires don't change shape at 0 psi, thought I'd give chains a try.

I was going to bring the minitruck, but I don't have any recovery points on the rear yet.
