Hank's Brand New Broken Junk

[4runner DOA]

Probably gonna run gold mountain next week for a trial run. If it makes it through it's good for a 12 mile crawling trail.

During the week?

 

[Tetten]

During the week?

Yeah, afternoon/evening Monday or Tuesday. If I get close to finishing my spare carrier might push it back to sometime Wednesday or thursday

Maybe? I wouldn't be able to start until some time around 3:30-4PM

I don't have my kid back until Monday afternoon. That gives me a day to figure out my electrical issue. I can meet you at the trail head whenever you tell me to be there Sunday.

And I don't day drink anymore, so that's one less liability.

Get an atlas, you'll thank me later

woah. 2x the doll hairs as the turtle brand. Looks incredible, read up on them. no joke. thanks and f u it's gonna cost me more now. jerks...all of you!

They dont want there trip to turn into the Danny rescue mission.
For reals though @Tetten and @theesotericone are the real burden on the trail till proven otherwise. I dont feel like driving 9 hours just to rescue them.

So how difficult is the rubicon? I thought old Willys and stockers did it?
Maybe I should get 35s and join you kooks one day ha

I think the Rubicon foundation has a *stock vehicle* group.
my friend did it in a stockish ranger, bypasses are a must.

When I talked to @Tetten on the phone we talked about doing it in one day so we can go try other trails in the area or taken our time and do it over two days. I know last year he and @theesotericone did it in like 8 hours.

I don't want to take all the bypasses. I wanna get after it pretty hard. I'm gonna be trailering the truck out there so.... balls to the wall...

Also, so @Mike_taco4x4 can shut the fuck up about a "rescue mission".

Im rooting for you guys! But you also have massive tires on stock front diff and axles so im excited to see the carnage too. Pretty sure ill be talking about "rescue missions" for years to come.

dude you should have seen me in Moab a few weeks ago. I put it to the test to see if the 39's would wreck the front CV's. I knowing that they are weaker than the ADD shaft and front diff. in a bassakwards way, the 39's seemed to be less stress. The truck drives over everything so much easier.

Also, I'm about to drop the mounts off at fedex. I'll overnight them so you can make it to the rubicon.

Andy and I only bypassed old sluice. That's the standard way of doing it now. We can run old sluice if you want. Expect major body damage.

Andy and I talked about running it backwards but I think he's just scared of going up Cadillac hill again. It was also because I didn't think I could get Friday off and Tahoma is a shorter drive then Loon. I say we start at Loon and the it the normal way.

@Tetten what do you think?

@Mike_taco4x4 get your shit fixed and call in sick. I don't want to be the only one towing these two monster trucks out if they break. lol

 

[AssBurns]

Makes me wish I had my 4wd working. Either way, I'll be camping up in near Bend, OR that week.

You might want to get your shit working. Dusy will be in August. 11 weeks at the most. Why do I feel like I've typed this before? lol
