Rausch Creek Meet: 3/31/2012

[phillyd2]

I'm possibly thinking about heading up in my stock Limited (no running boards). Did you still have stock tires when you ran these trails? That is the only thing I am worried about.

Yep, stock 20"

 

[phillyd2]

I didn't mean to sound like a priss, and I would love to do some more serious offroading.

And you didn't and I really hope that you did not think I thought you did. But you do understand, I'm sure, that wanting to off road AND wanting to keep your truck showroom condition is not going to happen. Can't happen. Things happen, off and on pavement.

Mine is not a daily driver and at this point in my life taking a $40K+ truck off road just does not bother me, but I sure do remember when it would so no judgment from me as I more than understand.

And you didn't and I really hope that you did not think I thought you did.

I'm crying and angrily smearing lipstick all over my mouth.




Don't get me wrong, this 4Runner will be banged up someday! I just want to keep it nice for a few years (which is also extremely difficult on NYC streets and Staten Island parking lots...)

 

[limamike]

I won't be able to make it anymore, so you might as well cancel the whole thing.

Hey guys... Im new to the 4Runner community. I owned a HUMMER H3T Alpha previously but sadly, never brought it off road. I definitely want to bring my 4Runner off-roading soon. I can't make the March trip but do you guys know when the next trip will be? I have a stock 2011 Trail Edition.

 

[phillyd2]

My would be passenger can't make it so if any want to leave their trucks safe in the parking lot but still want to see what it's like are welcome to ride with me.

Just post up when you plan on going and I'm sure others will tag along.

 

[Kraeken]

I'm not going to be ale to make this one. I have to work all weekend and can't get out of it. I'll be on vacation with a mostly clear schedule from the middle of April till the end of May if anyone wants to go then. Have fun!

 

[Qjake]

Man I so want to go! but I just found this thread and this short of notice I just can't do.

Hope ya all have a great time!

 

[joneseyyy]

Booked at the Comfort Inn for Friday night. My brother will probably be coming with. Looking forward to it!

 

[phillyd2]

In before the professional photos get posted. Nice showing of 3rd, 4th and 5th Gens. Good time!

The official judge has ruled on which is the coolest truck of the bunch

Hit 10K driving through a mud hole.

Winch remained untested.

"I got this" he said with a wink.

My view for much of the morning. Wonder if he knew a well armed Eagles fan was stalking him?

Into the mist......

Looks like a fun ride! Thanks for the post. Give me something to day dream about while I'm at work. :thumb3:

 

[Qjake]

Sweet! Thanks for the pics looking forward to more. :thumb3:

BTW..Headlight Fail :

 

[4ShoreRunner]

Yeah...Jonseyyy threw a code and my headlight burnt out minutes before we began the run...unfortunately my headlight wouldn't come back on after disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few minutes

Here are some shots I got with my cell phone, have some other good ones to add once my friend sends them to me:

 

[joneseyyy]

Had a great time today, despite throwing a CEL this AM (cleared it by disconnecting the battery; ran fine all day and on the way home, who knows?). The trails were great and there were a few chances to push the truck a bit, with the confidence of good spotters.

 

[4ShoreRunner]

Some more pics...

 

[limamike]

Looks like it was fun! Sorry I missed it...

 

[robwhite2777]

I was there

Hey guys, I had no clue there was a meat going on but I was in the black 5th GEN along side of a dodge pickup truck. I think you guys passed me while I was up a small hill climb. I got some good photos I will post up soon. Great seeing all your good lookin trucks. I will have to come out with you all next time and give you a run for your money! lol

I almost posted about this!

I was like, alright, who has a black 5th with shrockworks bumper from NC? I refused to believe you weren't on the forum, you have a great looking truck!
