Chinamans Gulch

[wesintl]

Who was driving Robbie's 80? Oh Chinaman's...I think I need to be taller before going back there. Looks like fun though, great run!

If a stock FJCruiser can make it your 32's and a lockright is fine

although that a-trac is a wild card you don't expect. It amazes me EVERY time!

I think I used to much romer pedal on the last obstacle

Mine wasn't on that obstacle. I think it was after when it was getting dark. I remember hearing a bang and saying to Ige, "I didn't even see that rock." she said she didn't either. I think the rear right went down a bit and thats why the DS got hit. I am just guessing. Didn't notice any driving issues until we hit pavement.

Lots of fun as usual. Glad Robbie choose to do another run with us. It was fun seeing Robbie wheel with his lifted FJ and Chris with his new yellow FJ (not lifted). You could tell they were having fun taking the harder obstacles. After a season of wheelin them they were being more aggressive. I have some good video of them, as well as the rest of the guys. But, I will need some time to get them edited and posted.

After we got Uri’s runner back together he eased over the tough line on the optional obstacle Russian style. Oleg running around shouting\spotting in Russian. Treeroots FJ40 sure is built up nice and fun to watch. He had the hard line on whale rock under control and almost whipped. He just needed to go for it promptly while he was in the vertical position. An un-nerving thing to do I’m sure. It was nice seeing Rachel tackling a tough trail in her 3rd gen runner. She did well and I’m sure she learned a few things. She’ll be spankin’ the boys on the trail soon.

Oleg pointed out a new line on the double slab which worked well for me. I also took a new line across whale rock that was fun and clean. I had a good day.

Cool report. Glad you guys had fun. I've been spending my weekend ripping the manifolds apart, and other associated fun things.

Ran that trail last weekend. My 1st "real" trail in CO. I loved it.

And guess what...

I wrecked my rear driveshaft as well.

It's not the equipment a person has as much as the line a person takes! Wes did all of Chinamans yesterday with bald 31" bias tires! He never got strapped!

It's not the equipment you have as much as the line you take! Wes did all of Chinamans yesterday with bald 31" bias tires! He never got strapped!

I know, but Wes is a better driver than me!

 

[wesintl]

bald 31" bias tires!

You think they're bald now wait til next year when I'm still wheelin em

I know, but Wes is a better driver than me!

yeah right, I certainly didn't finesse the last obstacle... that's for sure.

Oops....sorry....wasn't meaning "you" personally....just making a general statement.

Wes, you rule dude.. as evidenced by your display going up the waterful at the end of Kane Creek last May... now everyone tell Wes how cool the gallery is.

Looks like a great run, I was thinking of y'all while at the mall welcome home !!!!

 

[subzali]

It's all in good fun, UB. The gallery is cool! I've never seen those pics/vids yet!

 

[Nay]

Awesome run! Amazing how few pictures you take when you have your four kids with you , so I'm waiting to see the video and rest of the shots!

The FJ Cruisers did awfully well and it was great to see the team again, as well as everybody else

Nay

Feeling the wrath of the burrito from last nights dinner, Uncle Ben Decided it would be best to take a break under the Fj Cruiser.

Glad to see you getting your use out of those tyres! Definately more than they got when they were on my 45 in the GWN.

All, great photos, makes me even more bummed that I missed this run. I spent all morning doing web site work, then all afternoon working on my FIL's 60. Good news is, he drove it home today!

You should have blown that off and wheeled Charlette Jeff.

Kevin, my wife and I were bustin up on that plummer butt pic. One for the archives.
