White Tanks 8/24 [Archive]

Me and a couple guys will be doing a very moderate run into the Tanks that Sunday. The scenery is trashy desert. Historical value is zero. We'll be running Appetizer, Tax Collector, with Firebird and/or Lower Scorpion. It's a good chance for people with stockish vehicles to see what they can do, however some lift, a locker, and sliders highly recommended.

We're meeting at 8am on Watson just north of the freeway. We're looking for another 3-4 vehicles max, IFS preferred. Sorry, trying to keep it under 8 vehicles and giving non-crawlers a chance to test their meddle.

Yeah, change "highly recommended" to: some lift, a locker, and sliders required to avoid total carnage!... just to clear up any ambiguity.

The hardest part of Firebird may be the big boulder at the very end... we'll *gasp* stack and strap there if needed. Oh yeah, we'll unstack after ;)

118 views and no takers, wow :eek:

Either I smell or you're scaring them off Talanor :D Still plenty of time though... we got three for sure and another tentative.

That is because it is three weeks away! Shit, most of us don't know what we are doing tomorrow.

I would like to go if I don't end up wheeling Saturday night. Keep us posted on when and where to meet.

Edit: I see you already posted that. I won't get in the way, I promise.:p

BuckeyeT

08-19-2008, 08:16 PM

Yeah sure, whoever, I just thought I'd give an opportunity for some lesser rigs (like mine) to try some "harder" trails... and we see how much interest that attracted! :confused:

If you don't think you'll be bored out of your mind, roll with us... so far it's just me, Talanor, and a couple friends (an 06 Taco and a jeep). Especially you Jim, shit, you're the one who showed me the trails out there way back when.

Still looking to do Appetizer, Tax Collector, and then everyone can laugh as I attempt Firebird. Crap, I was hoping I wouldn't be the weakest link for this run ;)

Yep, I can see it already...."guys I'd love to go wheelin' this weekend, but I need to go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, then we're going to swing by Wal-Mart for a quick tampon run, so I'm just not gonna make it"......I've seen it a million times!:D

08-23-2008, 09:14 PM

whats on the trail list for sunday?

As much as I want to I have a seperated tire on the tow rig. I plan to replace it monday but my luck it would blow up and I would crash and burn both my rigs haha.

Kaistie

08-24-2008, 06:34 AM

Not sure. I know some of the guys want to run Firebird, Scorpion, and some other IFS friendly trails. A few of us may peel off late morning and go hit something else. I only know of Landslide and Oreo...oh, and the falls before Oreo!

BuckeyeT

08-24-2008, 02:07 PM

"Nice clutch work."

Yeah, thanks for that! :flipoff1:

I'm just happy I made it through Firebird without breakage or getting stuck. Sorry about the Jimmy, if I had known Joe had a cracked frame I would have told him not to run it.

Kaistie

08-24-2008, 03:59 PM

Actually it was a compliment. I have been there and done that, and it is a bitch. There really is no way rock crawl smoothly without dual cases.

No worries about Joe. I am just glad he got home, or hope he got home.

BuckeyeT

08-24-2008, 04:05 PM

Heh, you mean with my 4500RPM racing and smell of burning clutch you were sincere??

:kewl: Thanks... I guess!
