scrunner, how much you sellin your '95 for..

I'm hoping to get around 5k for it. It has 122k and a ton of new stuff. I don't mean to bog my own sale, but you really should go for a 3rd gen. The 2nd gen is cool and all, but the 3.0:ybrick:. Been regretting buying it every day.

 

[jrm]

Yeah id like to

Just seeing if anyone from the Bay Area or near by wants to meet up at Hollister Hills this weekend. I'm thinking of going either Sunday or Monday. It isn't supposed to rain, as of now, Sunday. I'm not 100% sure if I'm going, but I wanted to see if anyone else would want to meet up.

check it out. Im on Alameda. Dont know if i can make it this sunday b/c im waiting on some 265/75/16 dynapro ATMs to be shipped from so cal. Ill know more come saturday.

 

[SCRunner12]

Yeah I should be out there. I'm trying to talk my friend with a Tacoma to head out and another friend who has a huge dodge ram.

 

[TheeMikeB]

I am interested in a Sunday run... SCRunner are you the only one going?


Supra725 are you heading down?

 

[SCRunner12]

I'm talking to one of my friends, but I'm not sure if anyone else is going from the forum. I think the toyota120 guy are going Saturday, but it isn't clear from their thread. It is supposed to rain on Saturday, but good weather on Sunday. I was going to cancel though if no one was going to join and my friend wasn't going to make it.

Ok so I've decided i'm totally in for meeting up on Sunday, regardless of what my friends decide. My one friends Rover is down and may ride shotgun with me, my other friend with a Jeep GC may go but he has to find out if he has to work. Either way I'm totally in. If none of my friends ride with me i'll drag my fiance to ride as she needs some seat time too.

I've been reading my nor cal gide to backroads 4x4 book and i'm jazzed. It will be a good time to play with my gps and just get a day out.

Let me know if you are still in and i'll PM you my #.

Anyone else??

 

[SCRunner12]

Yeah I should be still in. My friend with the Tacoma can't make it, so I'm out of people I know with 4wd. I might try to convince someone to go along for the ride or I will just be by myself. I will make a thread in the general discussions about it to see if any other gens can make it.

 

[4runit]

My outing was cancelled due to 5-6 ft of fresh powder. So, me and my friend in an FJ cruiser will be making this trip on Sunday! Hope to see lots of other Yotas there! Tomorrow I will be replacing my passenger side cv boot, extending my rear diff breather, and adding some lightforce 170s to the front bumper!

 

[SCRunner12]

Sweet. What time do you guys want to meet up? I'm hoping to get my diff breather done today.

 

[Supra725]

I'm out guys...

caught a cold and a fever midweek and been dealing with it ever since...

have fun out there tomorrow.

 

[SCRunner12]

Well that sucks. Hopefully you will feeling better in the morning and can make it out.:trophy: We will have to plan another trip in March.

Beautiful day at Hollister

Had a great time out there! Hollister hills is far better than carnegie and prairie city. On the way there I thought my CB antenna was gonna snap off as i started to drive up the mountains and saw it whipping back and forth lol, think I need to take off the spring. The beast did pretty well after I aired down, it might be time to add a 1" body lift though or add some LC coils and raise up the coilovers since the 33's were rubbing like crazy!

Hopefully next time it will be dryer, the recent rain practically turned the ground into sand :roadkill: Saw a few trucks trying to make it up truck hill but no one made it up.

Anyway onto the few pics I took...

and a short video:

Hopefully Robert and Mike will be able to post up some more pics soon.

 

[SCRunner12]

Glad you could make it out Anthony and I had a blast. Hollister turned into one giant mud pit, but it made the trails a little more difficult. We had some close calls, but everyone made it home. I am more and more impressed with the capabilities of the stock 2nd and 3rd gens.
Next time will be nice to not have as much mud. Now I have to spend tomorrow cleaning it all up. :rant:

Mike in the middle of the mud pit.

Going

We took a wrong turn and Mike ended up getting stuck in a rut. Luckily he had his shovel, a tow strap and a river bed full of rocks.

 

[SCRunner12]

Anthony slipping and sliding in the mud while trying to climb a hill.

This is after I tried the hill. That is a lot of mud caked on my tires.

Mike just flexin as he makes it up the hill.

Time for Anthony to air down his tires.:reddance:

Turned out to be quite a nice day.

The aftermath when I got home. I'm going to be cleaning for weeks.:biggrin2:

 

[t4r4life]

[TheeMikeB]

Hey Guys had a blast yesterday although it took me almost as much time to clean my rig! Thank god for my power washer made pretty good work of it. I actually think it's cleaner underneath now than it was before!

Anyway good times for sure.

Me and SCRunner12 (Robert) at the entrance.

This is Truck hill... people try and make it up this but it was so soft and muddy I didn't see anyone make it up.
