A Hello From Bay City

[Rattler]

Hi all,
Thought I would just say hi. I recently got back into a 4x4 after a few years off. Well, not really. I had a Subaru WRX(the beauty of AWD) for a few years and had a blast with it. I recently purchased an '04 Toyota Tacoma DoubleCab with the TRD package. Its my 3rd Toy. I had an '89 XtraCab that I had on Sno*blind a dew years back. Then a '91 4Runner that I never really wheeled.
I am hoping to do a little light wheeling with the Taco. It is my daily driver and only has 12k on it.
Plus I knew I would find Roadhouse on here!!

[DDS4X4]

Welcome!
We wheel our DD also.
Just THINK before you act and you should enjoy the time and the folks!

[WhiteRhino]

Howdy! :hello:

[Jarhead]

:hello: and Welcome!

Like Doug and You, I wheel my DD. Looking forward to seeing you on the trails. Can you make Siver Lake Dunes (April 8) for a pre-quarterly Meeting romp in the dunes?

And A little note I guess you guys wheeling your DD can watch us none DD wheelers break stuff its have the fun...........

[Rattler]

Thanks all.

Not married yet&#33; I have a couple months of freedom still.

I made a short trip down Sterling Truck Trail Sat. We were about 1/2 mile or so from Wildwood Rd. and it was washed out. Didn&#39;t even think of crossing it by myself (truck that is). I also saw that it was washed out down by Grimm Hill on Deer Rd.(aka Hershey Highway). I ran into a couple locals that were at Centerfire and STT. They said Centerfire was bad too.

Can anyone tell me if you can still get back to the B Pits/3 Lakes there?

[Roadhouse]

Wow I haven&#39;t been in the intro section lately...and looky what I find. Welcome Brett. Brett is an old GL member from a club we used to be in. I could tell you some good stories about his old Toy extended cab that left us stranded in a mud hole one night....but a Jeep came to save us. :P

Brett...you can&#39;t get back to the b-pits anymore, its all gated off. I believe its at the last big water crossing they put a gate up. That side trail that went around it via the pipeline is all bermed off also.

I&#39;m getting some new treads on the Suburban next week, and getting the vibration problem fixed....I&#39;ll call ya after that for a ride up there if you and the misses want to head out.

Hey do you know how to get ahold of Joe T.? I got in a fender bender in the Suburban and need a rear 1/4 panel fixed.

I&#39;m going to go look for pics of Bretts old Toys from our way back wheelin days....10 years ago.

ITS FUNNY TO SEE BRETT AS A NEWBIE :rolf: ...I REMEBER THE YOTA...MOVING UP IN THE WORLD WITH THE NEW STUFF... I&#39;M TRADING THE BLACK YOTA FOR A 86 RUNNER.... DOING A SAS WITH 35"...THE NEXT TIME YOUR HEADING TO STEAMS OR SOMETHING GET WITH PAT AND I&#39;LL TRY TO GET OVER THERE FOR A BEER WITH YOU.. I&#39;LL HAVE TO STOP BY TO SHOW YOU THE NEW YOTA I GOT ....PEACE OUT.... :stole-it:

There was a 1990 4Runner in the BCT for &#036;850. I was half-tempted to go check it out. I can&#39;t have more shtuff sitting around that I will have to move though.

I am gonna go through some of my old pics and scan them in today seeing I am too sick to do anything else.

[Roadhouse]

I tried scanning a bunch of pics the other nite, but my scanner is acting up. :<img src=:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

[Creative Fab]

That last pic I remember&#33;&#33; It proved why those tires were called Muddiggers when they should have been called Sanddiggers because that all they did to sand was dig&#33;&#33;

I got a couple of the 4Runner around here. I can tell that a pic from when Tim had it. I drove it right over to Discount for its bling wheels.

I saw my old white &#39;Yota last Summer going through town.

Thanks Mike.

Talking with the guy I work with the other day. I remembered Mike and I&#39;s trip back to camp one night up at Bull Gap. Mike got a flat so we were going to have to hoof it and it was a ways. Along came some guys in a Blazer with the roof off and no headlights. They offered us a ride. Mike&#39;s Maglite was the only candlepower we had for the trip&#33; As soon as we got out we could here them throttling down the fireroad still with no lights.

I remember that night....at least we had the maglight. I also remember a night you all left me at the hill, but my truck was at camp. I had to walk that hole distance with no light. I used my the light on my watch to help find the way........man that was dark night and the three steps forward one step back didn&#39;t help. :rolf:

[Rattler]

I remember that one too&#33;&#33; Kinda.

Did you spot the pic of Bo & Luke&#39;s S10? Thats a tough night to forget&#33;&#33;

Wonderful, memorable quote&#33;&#33;

How about "You can buy another hood but you can&#39;t buy another arm."
