Ok Nice pictures but I think my fav of the bunch is actually the 4th gen posing. Looks great.

 

[ric]

yea, Im kind of keen on that 4th gen myself :biggrin2:

 

[4Runner_Girl]

I dunno i still like the 3rd gen the most.....Nice pics sorry I couldnt go today...its been a rough start to the month of Sept. but I am planning on going to Yankee Hill....where I first met ya Ric and doing some things around there next Saturday if you wanna join!

But otherwise I will plan on running with you guys next time you all go on a run...and if I have money and time lol

Nice job on the pics and vids guys! We had a good run! Wish you could have been at Twin Cones with me. We had around 6" of snow above 11000 ft, drifting to a foot in spots.:girl: Evan and I were the first ones up to the summit. We passed some ATV guys telling me I couldn't make it without chains. LOL. It was a wet, sloppy struggle, but I made it. I'm not a snow virgin anymore!

 

[4Runner_Girl]

TOO bad i didnt make it....it looks SOOOO FUN!!! Darn next time...

 

[ric]

for sure, your welcome anytime....

Seems like "your flexed out" was the saying of the day, lol
How is it we can run a 5 rated trail, and get carnage :shrug:

I think we are all trying to be like Glen, that is what gets me in trouble LOL!

Are you kidding me? How can it be fun to take a rig that is made for getting groceries, lift it so it's unstable and more likely to roll, add tires and equipment that lower your gas mileage, spend your nights obsessing about ways to do the next mod, and all so you can go on a trail that is full of rocks that can damage the blood sweat and tears you just sacrificed you public service bill money for?

If you already have the sickness the people at your local grocery store probably think you are unemployed and anorexic because you are losing weight and only buying Top Ramen if you do spend money on food at all because every dollar spent on food is one less buck you have for the new lift and tires.

You know there's are special institutions for people with this sickness. Driving on mountain trails that have no real destination such as a mall or discotec is the first major indicator. In severe cases padded walls with Green Peace propaganda on the TV are recommended. However if you do get infected know you are not alone. I'm in room #102, Ric's in #103 Ha!

lol so true! Maybe we should run something harder so we can avoid breaking things. Or maybe we should all get lockers Woo hoo!

 

[ric]

Maybe we should run something harder so we can avoid breaking things.

that sounds so funny, but its true.. seems like the easier trails is when we break. I thinnk "you" need to buy "me" a locker :dancin:lol

 

[CSL]

Awww... must be sad not having a locker...

:dancin:

 

[ric]

Awww... must be sad not having a locker...

:dancin:

I dont know, Glen does GREAT without, and the 2nd gen ATRAC seems to work pretty good. When I got this rig, I thought my first mod would be a locker, but after wheeling it a few times, learning the ATRAC, I dont "need" one, but would LOVE to have one, lol and yes, its on my list, lol got 10 grand I can have ? lol
