October Camping Trip, The Cove #6

First timer

I'm 80% in! Just have to check a few work travel dates for October. It will also be this 4Runners trip off pavement!
 
Unfortunately, needs of the Army says I won't be able to make it. Someone is going to have to compile crazy quotes so I can update my sig.

I'm lifted on 285s now, no sway, soft leaf springs, and a few other goodies (tons o travel):cry:. was looking forward to testing the new setup, but I'll probably have to save that for a trip to Anthracite.

Bummer
I was very excited to see how capable the taco would be with the new work you have done... guess you will need to come on the spring trip.
:banana:
Did you get new skids?
 
Ok all, I have added the recent additions to the bottom of the running list. Please check the list to make sure you are on it. If I missed you, please send me a PM or post up here. If you cannot go, please also let me know.

:yo:
 
Cool video [MENTION=141503]carlos.elmotor[/MENTION]. This looks like a fun trip. I'll see if I can make up there, please put me down as tentative. BTW, How cold is it up there that time of year? :-)

Depends, overnight lows in the 30s are typical.

Got some sliders. I have a set of safeT caps to firm the rear frame section. I need to do that before I add the sliders, then after sliders I can fab some type of better belly protection. That tiny stump last year really shows how factory mid skids are just recycled bud light cans.

I got my trac bar and exhaust version 4.0 done yesterday. You never know how much axle wrap a SC'd Taco has until you don't have axle wrap anymore. Adjusted it for anti-squat...I'm sure the truck will climb steep grades better than ever now.

Spring trip...perhaps!!! Think me and Kamikaze Cory may try to set something up at Anthracite. Place looks promising.

Gotta go help her replace upper control arm bushings on her tank later today.
 
Gah, I knew the Cove was going to be the same weekend as my 10 year reunion weekend! I guess I could use the "deployed again" excuse but I'm already bought into a vacation rental... Next year I guess, looking forward to the aftermath posts!!
 
I'm down along with my buddy with a Tacoma.

Excited about meeting everyone

Spoke to Scott at GT Peace and he informed me about this awesome event.

I might have another buddy that might bring a Taco or a Jeep.

I think the lowest temps we have seen were around 40 degrees on this weekend. If you're sleeping on an air mattress bring a foam pad... trust me.
 
Ha! [MENTION=47340]Titanpat57[/MENTION] You were wrong, I told you he'd be back.

You should know by now that bastard don't know a damn thing Phil!

Things are coming along great- feel like the hard stuff is behind me. I'll be 100% soon!

I fly back in that Saturday while they're still out. We should get together and take some awesome off camber pics around the mall.

Thanks for the tip. It looks like I'm good to go for now. :bounce: I'll be arriving sometime on Friday and will be leaving on Saturday after the group picture.

If anyone in my neck of the woods (VaBch) would like to ride up there together on Friday, let me know. I can meet you somewhere once I cross the water.

I'm tentatively scheduling myself to be around Powhatan that week. May be able to caravan from Richmond, or so?

Sounds good. I plan on leaving by mid morning so I can get to The Cove by mid afternoon. I should reach north Richmond about 12:00 - 12:30'ish. We can meet up somewhere on I-95N, unless you plan on taking I-64W.
