Hey guys, we are planning on going back on January 24th. Hope all of you guys can make it.

You'll also be happy to know (although i blame all of you) that i'm $1200 poorer.

Unfortunately, count me out for the 24th. Conflicts with pre-booked skiing/boarding at Snowshoe.

haha, dont think so, just kind of happened one day. It also happened before I did any mods to the car. So not likely any wheeling incident.

Im at over 153K miles, so the warranty is a distant memory... Haha. I'm 90% sure it's the idler pulleys. Did yours go bad after hitting mud holes???
Should be an easy fix (from what I've read). Just have to find the time and space to replace them.[/QUOTE]

Got my 285s mounted last night. I'll be replacing the idler pulleys and doing the diff breather mod this weekend. I'm ready for RCOR Round II :boxer:

I'm jealous. Say hello to Cupp Run and Shay's Revenge for me.

Ooo Nice, send some photos! And let me know how the diff breather mod goes, been wanting to do that guy for awhile now!

Yea, I'll snap a few pics this afternoon. I think the breather mod is a good idea with how deep some of those water/mud holes are at Red Cloud.

Awesome, my tires came in last night, hopefully everyone else is gonna be able to make it on the 24th. Hopefully Soze can catch up on the next one.

I ended up just accepting the Nittos.

Truck looks great man. Tough looking tire.

I'll be interested in hearing how involved the diff breather is. I haven't looked at what's involved in it but i'm about to change my diff fluid so it's a good time to do the mod.

Thanks man.
I think those trail grapplers will work well for you at RCOR.

Didn't end up doin the diff breather this weekend. The local toyota dealership didn't have the union fitting I needed. I still plan on doing it, but I'm gonna order the parts online.

You're welcome to come out with us on the 24th to do some off-roading.


Finally got the Trails put on:

 

[LGUMA001]

Those trail grapplers look good man!

I'm having a hard time waiting til the 24th. I really want to test out my new tires.... Anybody want to hit up RCOR one of the weekends before the 24th too ???

That might work. Let me get back to you tomorrow on it. I have to rearrange some stuff and i'll check to see if anyone else wants to go. We are talking Saturday right?

Alright cool. Saturday or Sunday would work for me.

 

[DCGweez]

So I'm a go for Saturday. It should be at least me and one more vehicle. Trying to get one of my guys with a winch to come since it doesn't look like my Front Bumper is arriving this week.

I called them and they said that they prices have gone up. It's now $40/vehicle. You can buy a membership for $90 and it brings the price down to $25/vehicle.

So basically after the 6th time you go, you'd break even....

 

[VA4Runner09]

What a bummer! Might as well just go up to Rausch Creek!

Rausch Creek Off-Road Park

Personally I like to go wheeling when its free! There are a few areas west of here that have some fun trails that are in the parks. Let me know if any of you are interested in that option. Personally I'm more of a rock guy. That mud is a pain to deal with later...

 

[LGUMA001]

Saturday works for me. I noticed on their website that the entrance fee went up. That sucks. I'll have to look at the membership. I need to figure out if I'd really go to RCOR 6 times in the next year.

Brian, I've been wanting to hit up Rausch Creek. I need to get some sliders on first though. You rolling to RCOR on Saturday?
