Gulches First Weekend in May

WE ARE A GO!!

Gulches is a go....

Every body is aware, but Simmoc04. He is local so might not even be up yet. I will see you guys around 9:45.

Yup your right i just got up see y'all there

hope you guys have a great time...

Gulches is always a good time. Lots of butt puckering. Some carnage. Rain held off long enough thankfully.

we had a great time thanks for the help. Got alot to learn

How did the ride home go?

How awesome was rain on the way home!? My truck is cleaner than when I left this morning!

it was fine at 50 mph ordered tie rod and tie rod end for 110.00 better ways to learn when to get on the gas and when not to. first time out could have been worse. im ready to go again well in 3 days.

We'll blame it on Toyotas lack of a factory ATRAC hack on the early 07's!

Still need to get pic of the wiring on that hack.

Will do. Decided to go to Augusta for dinner haha.

A CB conversation I remember from today.

Brian:"Do you guys want to do Rebel Blvd?"
Nick:"I'm game"
Chris or Adam:"Can I (relatively stock FJ) do it?
Brian:"Sure,..I think so."

and so it began.................

Where did you order from? I'm looking for some spares now. Definitely a weak link...

It was definitely a bit hairier than the last time we did it. All the rain they've had over the past month or so has definitely changed the difficulty levels.

Yeah, It may have been a double black in the past, but it was a skull& crossbones today. It was good for Adrienne's spiritual journey. She was praying a whole lot. And says she will never go back to the Gulches.

Got the tie rods at advanced moog was 94.00

Had a blast
I seem to remember halfway through rebel
Brian saying over the cb something like " this doesn't look good"
Me thinking hmm this is about to get hairy lol

Haha. By then we were comitted

Can't wait for a picture thread!!

Yup we were and its still washing my car outside it ought to sparkle in the morning

On a side note where did you order your air down tool Adam

I don't quite remember but I think Southeast Overland sells them. They are kind of local up that way. They are the 'Oasis Trailhead' brand ones. I don't remember which specific ones they are either. They have like 5-20 psi and 15-40. I think I get the latter.

Here you go Chris. I bought a set to put in the raffle a month ago. Bought it on ebay from a "make and offer" auction. I got is for $50+3.99 shipping.

Trailhead Deflator

I had a great time, didn't break anything or get any body damage so that is always a plus!

I am ready to go back for a FULL day. I really wanted to do Radical Ravine

What, you didn't do a "FULL" day? I almost drove down from URE...what did you do and did the weather cut it short?
