Let's get something started for those interested in a Beyond trail run.

I will update this with the time and location as we get a better idea of what's going on.

The first problem is that most of the trails in either McLean or Waiporous are no longer stock friendly. We'll have to decide what is suitable for the whole group or, as Humz mentioned, we can split the group in 2.



List your name with the kind of truck you have and we can go from there.

15th doable? ?

[projekz]

I'm sure we can flex for a Sunday if it's easier for everyone. Let's see where this goes.

I'm hoping for Garth to be ready for a run this year. Cross fingers!

As for tow points, where would you normally put them? I was thinking where the bumper connects to the chassis so the force is centered around there.

235/80/16's are ~31in. I think.

I'd like to Come along, but am a total newb to off roading.

My tacoma's stock suspension wise, but I'm sure I can find a set of 33s to throw by then.

What do you guys think?

If you run 33's with the stock suspension on your tacoma you are going to rub like crazy offroad. You need to run a lift to clear the 33's

I also might be in depending on how rough the trail is going to be.

Updated the first post. Date is now September 15th.

[Unknown303]

Oh snap. I'm actually off for this. I wonder if I can track down some 35s for this..

[a61z]

I'm interested.
Especially if we have a novice group (I've only been out a couple times and am not heavily modded)
WJ: 2" lift, 31" ATs, 3x lsd, skids, f+r tow pts

[AllGoNoShow]

I'm in, 92 XJ on 33's right now, maybe squeeze some 35's for the 15th.

Just a heads up if you guys are going to the falls there is now a water hole that will swamp stock vehicles... Drove through it without knowing and my quad was floating while I was walking with water up on my chest (gotta love waiters).

Plus the trails have gotten a lot more difficult now with all the wash outs.

[flipstah]

Any updates if were still doing this?

I'm pretty stoked.

[projekz]

We'll have a better idea this weekend. So far everything is as planned.

[Kloubek]

Is it? How's the tranny holding up on your rig?

I'm probably in for this run. Then I'll decide if I'm going to continue with this whole offroading thing or not....

[flipstah]

^ Probably in better shape than mine.

I engaged OD once; sounds like it's going to just explode any minute and leave a bunch of gears on Deerfoot.
