I'm honestly don't care what group I'm in or what trails I run. As long as I get to run Daniel that's all I care about lol I wanna try and take some lines I couldn't in the Tacoma.

Do you mean the 3 sections up to the top?

Well my Taco was wasn't locked so I had to take the side route on some obstacles. I'm not trying to do anything crazy just things I couldn't do before. Like that first ledge on the way up.

Looks like the gf will be coming with me. This is her first OHV ride so we will see how it goes lol I seem to be more excited about her going than she is haha. Does anyone mind sending me their cell number via PM? I don't know any of the people going in this group.

PM sent.

I had a big weekend planned, camp near Brian, wheel, camp, home for some Olive Garden on Monday! Kelly made an appointment for 1100 on Saturday, gonna take about 3-4 hours, means I would get there just in time for sunset...so, no, I am unfortunately not gonna make it...might have to do the truck stop swap the next couple weekends...have your people take a look at your calendar and let me know what you think will work for you!

See you guys in the morning!!!
Should be there around 9-9:15 so don't leave without me. Right now it looks like I will only have 2 vehicles coming in with me. The 2 Jeep guys may or may not show. Looking forward to it.

it will be good to see you Jami...

Yeah man!!!!!! Same here bro!!!

Hey guys don't wait on me either, I unfortunately won't be heading out there this time...... Again, something comes up. Man I really wanted to see the difference the 3' ome lift would have helped

just got back home...had a great time..Daniel was fun and so was Kodak...it was good to meet all the new folks and first timers and of course all the regulars...hopw to see everyone soon again!!

Had a good time today as well. I heard after we left that the guy driving the Jeep Cherokee went back to Daniel and smashed his right rear into a tree and shattered the rear side glass, oh the carnage. I have yet to experience Daniel and not to sure I want to try it.

Wait till next year when the park reopens and they have refilled the ledges, it's a lot easier then

Well we made it back. We cut the camping trip short. It was very dusty and the wife just wanted to come home and take a shower. So we did.

We had a great time and I always like meeting new folks. You guys missed the atv/bike drama. On Dutch John a girl in an atv came flying around a corner at me. Saw me and slammed on breaks and brought the atv up on the front two wheel. The person behind her came flying around, saw her, slammed on breaks, tried to turn, and flipped his atv on its side. Almost got his leg. While we were waiting to go up the dutch john hill a dirt bike came down it, ran into the side, and laid the driver on the ground. He ended up ok, but he was laying there a good bit. A person with him said, it was only his 2nd time on a dirt bike. You would think you would start a little easier then there. It was so dry, that is was slick with fine loose dirt.

As always, I had a great time!

Hey Brian....you have any rubbing issues with your tires? I am considering them for my stock 16" TRD rims.

Nope, none at all.

Believe it or not, I'll be trading my KM2's in next week :-)
Love the tire, but on my 8.5" wheels, there' s too much lip exposed and taking a beating. They are definitely meant for the 7" stock wheel.

The FJ stock wheel is 7.5.
Nick what are you doing with your current set? Are selling them? What size are you going to?

I'm going to see what Discount Tire will give me for a trade in, unless someone local could use them. I think I have maybe 2500 miles on them. I'm gonna go back to the 285's - but in an all terrain (Falken Rocky Mountains - like Scott's).

Yeah my wheels took a beating today too!! And my bumper! And my sliders. Haven't looked at my skids yet!

The real question is - did you take a beating also when you got home?

Had an awesome time. We had a lot of fun. Glad we left when we did cause 10 minutes out I mysteriously lost my voice and now I'm running a fever. Looks like that damn Sasquatch is up to his tricks again. I dunno why I didn't tell you this earlier bigdawgdewey but thanks for serving. If there were any other vets out there thank you for your service too. 'MERICA!

She's not home yet so no!

Nick you're worse than a woman trying to find shoes with finding tires.

Didn't you start with a 2-ply 285/75/16 AT three sets ago? These waisted tires are going to burned and kill the environment
