hes got the locker when he swaps axles, but 100's of miles away from home with a engine issue is a no-go. I hate to tell you to keep your truck at home but ive gotta tease you a bit on your track record of wheeling with me ever since ive known you lol

1. pismo- drove girl friends CRV full throttle until it wouldnt go any more with a blown tranny
2. pilot rock- got all the way there to find 4 wheel drive inop
3. pismo- drove 4runner full throttle until it wouldnt go any more with blown motor.
4. big bear day one- bent frame,wheel and steering before getting to the rocks
5. big bear day two- started into hard line and pop cv on first rock

But, give him a little credit, the Bekah curse isn't permanent.

*eye roll* you guys... where's the love?!

[Crinale]

haha i know troy. honestly i hope i dont still have my 4runner(s).. they are so much headache right now that i want to just start over with something new. Also, there is no way i would hit Mottino without fixing the misfire

Scub - Ive got a rear Aussie Locker.

I would like to do this run. Truck rebuild is almost done. Ran it on White Mtn weekend before Easter.

I need a spotter, however. One who is athletic, and knows how to keep the dirt side down, and the diffs off the rocks.

[troyboy162]

hey Jim! mottino will be easy for your rig. its easier then any of the hammers trails but still lots of fun. we self spot with IFS so i dont imagine you will have any issues

[Smiling_Jim]

I ran Clawhammer and Fissure Mtn last weekend at JV Hammers. Got a few bugs to work out, but the truck is running well.

I may borrow my friends motorhome, and stay in Fawnskin. Can I reach you guys from there Saturday morning?

The trip is July 30, correct?

[troyboy162]

yeah fawnskin would be a nice place to stay. you could go through the trails starting at the northeast side of baldwin lake and meet us at the bottom of rattlesnake. or just meet us at the bottom on the 18 by droping into lucerne valley by the cement plants.

how was fissure mtn? ive always wanted to run that one but heard its kinda tame. july 30th is the day!

Put me down for a strong maybe. I will know more in a month.
