I'm not sure if you guys heard but these rigs work best when they roll on their tires, not their roofs :lol:

Nice though! Seems like you guys always have fun on some good trails!

New Years was fun. [MENTION=83356]rideexileex[/MENTION] cruised down from Seattle and met up with us for some New Years fun and wheeling. Had a blast as usual.

Popped my low hanging radiator an hour after I got up to High Lakes. Grabbed a 2rz radiator Wednesday morning and threw it in Wednesday afternoon, it's shorter so now it's tucked away and hopefully won't get popped on a rock any time soon.

Great trip, we stayed all week. My friend randomly grenaded a 60 shaft which sucked.

Do it! The Toyota dealers around here could use someone knowledgable about Toyota's… I walked in a couple months ago looking for a VSS part number and not one person knew what I was talking about. I talked to three mechanics and each said they'd only been working there for 2 months lol that scared me. The parts manager pissed me off the most after he said "I don't know what any of these parts do, I just type in the part number and let you know if we have it." He's been working for the dealership for over 10 years…..

It reminded me of a time I applied for a job and I didn't get it because they told me I was over-qualified :lol:

Rob, if I lived in Cali I would be your friend.

You guys sure know how to do it right. The last few trips look like good times. :yo:

lol yeah I lost count how many times we've been up in the past 2 months. We actually went back up yesterday as well, to grab something we forgot at the cabin…. then we decided to just cruise the trail all the way to Lake Almanor into Chester.

Not sure when we are going back up. The lack of snow is kind of ruining it for us. I'm sure we will be back up there the instant it decides to snow though.


Still waiting. :smow:
