When? I’m assuming this next weekend, but don’t see a date so figured I’d confirm?

And can a stock gx460 With street tires manage without damage, or would we need a more aggressive truck?

What year? Early gx460 yes. New, the splitter in the front will probably get ripped off.

Thanks, updated first post. Next Saturday.

2011, so defintely not a new one. & not minty fresh either so not a crisis, but sure don’t want to destroy it either. Not sure that is what we’d be driving, but Erica & I could both benefit from this run, and she’s always happier when the ride is a bit more plush.

You’ll be fine

WooHoo!! I'm in!!!
Probably just me, the family isn't too interested in a learning day. (more fun for me then!!)
Lx470, 2 inch lift on 33's. Really looking forward to it!

 

[Fisher67]

I am in!

 

[Cocarlisle]

I’m in
Sounds like a blast
Needing to get out

CB’s OK?

Yep. I’ll update first post.

I won't go this year to maybe let another "noob" in but perhaps we also have a "Old Hats" run and drive circles around em!

 

[simps80]

Daniel
We could go together and save a spot for another
I am bored out tha goard yo

 

[allen.wrench]

I'd like to join the run! But I did it last year and if we're limiting to 10trucks total, I'll wait till a day before to confirm spot availability. Hope to give others a chance first

[Cocarlisle]

Same here
Good point
Would love to go but feel leaving room for someone trying to get experience might be better

I was just so excited I jumped on it

Maybe we could plan on going to slaughter house regardless

If there is room we could run with Jackson and if not we could split off

If you are a Noob get on this run
Jackson knows a ton and is a great guy

 

[ChewBaca]

Count me in, add me to the group if you have room.

 

[allen.wrench]

@Cocarlisle cool, I concur!

A suggestion for discussion though it'll likely be covered by hitting the list Jackson already has above:
- upgrades for stock vehicles (tires, sliders, skid plates, bumpers, comms, lift, recovery points, etc.). What's worth the most given the same time/money cost?

Happy celebrating memorial day!

I'm not a noob, but not super-experienced. I am typically the person that others come to for advice in my group of friends. That said, I'm sure I would learn something on the trip if there is a spot for me. I'll wait to make sure there is no one more green to decide 100%.

 

[das_schroed]

Green bean here. Count me in?! I am looking to learn something new and make wheelin buds along they way

 

[coloradoadams]

If you have 2 more spots my son and I would like to go. So we would be 2 trucks and 2 drivers, Chris and Parker. I have some experience and my son is pretty green. We went wheelin with a few club members last weekend and caught the bug...

 

[Inukshuk]

Jackson - what is your count? I may plan some stuff in the area that involves some camping.

 

[ccslider]

Maybe there should be a different group that leaves earlier so Jackson can give all his attention to the people who have not had the experience?
