So now we gots the rain shouldnt be long for TSF to open. I want to go out and play here soon. Wanting to do a TSF run either Nov 3rd or Nov 4th. I plan on running Power Line trails to FB5 (blue to single diamond) up to Crusher doing the upper section of Crusher. Then heading too Airplane Hill. Both the Crusher and Airplane Hill are labeled triple diamonds. Anyone intrested, if not I goes it alone.

Heres section that leads to Upper Crusher

Think a mostly stock rig can make it? If so I'm in! We all know anything under 42" tires might as well be stock, lol

 

[banks316]

42's the new 31's

A bit off topic, but how do you think the Iroks perform compared to the MTR's Chris?

i haven't ran iroks before but so far i find the mtr's very capable on and off road

Ive only had one trip on my MTR's so i cant say but running Iroks I loved them they were awesome but they didnt last long after 5k miles i was down to 60% tread.

 

[141]

Ouch! I didn't realize they were that soft. Makes me lean toward the MTR's more. I've never heard anything negative about MTR's.

 

[banks316]

Ill always be a swamper fan but there just too soft to run on a DD

 

[banks316]

So Chris lets plan on Nov 3rd

 

[IslandTJ]

Schedule allowing - I am hopefully in

 

[DrHolliday]

3rd sounds good. Hope ya can make it ken.

 

[IslandTJ]

Yup, it's been a while.

 

[banks316]

Hope you can make it IslandTJ I went up there yesterday and it was nasty slick. Beat up my armor pretty bad trying to do the upper crusher.

 

[banks316]

So the date is set....Nov 3rd, Gales Creek Shell station 8:30 am meet and 9am depart time.

So how did the MTR'S do compared to the Iroks?

 

[banks316]

They did very good but I think I had too much air in them. I had them at 8psi next time ill be at 6psi. Next run ill be useing my military Goodyears

 

[banks316]

Due to some personal issues I will be unable to do this run on the 3rd so ill be doing the run on the 4th.

 

[lovecomplex]

Would it be much of a drag to have a stock TJ along for the ride? I'm itchin' to get out with some fellow jeeps.

Your more then welcome to come. Since your stock you will be taking a few by passes. After a few bad groups ive had in the past I got a few rules.

1) You must air down to a min 12 psi. Dont want to air down thats fine but I will sit there drinking my coffee and watch you beat your jeep trying to up trail. I always have my air system and will gladly fill your tires if you do not have one. Airing down is the best way to gain traction.

2) Stay as a group no one wonders off. If your stuck or broke down the whole group stops unless one person is sent out for parts. Before the run begins I will state the route and tails we will be taking. If you have CB channel 22 is the normal unless other wise stated.

3) Only one person spotting. Driver doesn't need 10 people telling him/her different things to do.

4) Im easy on the skinny pedal if you are not and like to Baja up the trail and you break something. Ill be there drinking my coffee watching you fix it. Im not crawling in the mud AGAIN to work on someones jeep cause they didn't wheel smart.
