me and a few other rigs are going in this weekend,

what time you headed in?

im riding passenger in my friends truck we will be getting into the parking lot late friday night and i think we are camping there and headed out in the morning. blue s-10 on 37s and camo runner on 37s

I will be there with probably 6-7 other rigs sat morning. We will either be at the trail head or at cisco at like 8-9 and will be heading in but I'm not sure how far we will go, it will depend on who shows up.

Will be there with 2bigbronco and some friends in my camo 4runner and papa smurf blue S10. Probably wont get there till later friday night and camp near the trailhead to get a early start. Anyones welcome to join but you have to go first through the river to find the deep spots :D
Has anyone called PG&E to get the current flow rates?

wow what a long trouble filled weekend

What were your troubles?

steering issues broke a shaft on the steering box then had issues with tie rod ripping apart

must hate that trail (or your truck) by now :flipoff2:

Anyone know who the idiot that came through the second crossing heading to wh1 at like 12:30 sat night blaring music and holding the truck on the limiter?
:shaking:

^^^ who cares bout the rev limiter guy.. thats going to happen.. glad to see the power wagon made it out. tell ur buddy thanks for the little tug (teal cherokee).. turned out to be a cut wire that would ground out on a bad bump.! cost my 4 fuses ha. anyhow to another weekend!. Pm the next time ur going can head in together since seems were lone warriors out there

What were you in? I was with the group of yotas with the stock purple Cherokee....

I felt bad for the power wagon guy.. Ouch, we saw him a few times throughout the trip, his buddy deserves friend of the year for heading back in twice with parts... We were busy limping out ourselves. 3 broken motor mounts, a seized alternator, and a dead cherokee

that guy with the blue s10 wasn't having the best weekend either, he bailed out for us (thanks) on the committee reroute with a busted coilover, broken knuckle and a broken front driveshaft. Dead battery too. Hope they got out, it wasn't looking too good. I'd have helped more but we were already towing a truck with a blown up engine. Fun weekend!

My buddy does earn friend of the year woke him up 930am sat requested him for a new steering box and delivery on a trail hes never driven. he was a troopr driving first 7 miles of trail by himself stacking rocks and winching when stuck. We hooked him up with breakfast the next am and to find the box from reibies was bad and sent him through committee trail alone to meet my wife for part drop 2 and a mechanic. Good thing I asked the wife to drop my spare set of tie rods 9pm sunday heading out after second steering box replacement I ran into a rock and ripped the tie rod apart.

that guy with the blue s10 wasn't having the best weekend either, he bailed out for us (thanks) on the committee reroute with a busted coilover, broken knuckle and a broken front driveshaft. Dead battery too. Hope they got out, it wasn't looking too good. I'd have helped more but we were already towing a truck with a blown up engine. Fun weekend!

Ya that looked pretty hecktic towing that dead 3rd gen up the rocks, hope it all went well.
We made it out after a long day winching and tugging up those last big hills. The firewood suspension and socket wrench steering stud held up. I ended up breaking the rear ring and pinion on my 4runner once we hit the pavement and got 2 separate tow trucks to tow me all the way back to santa cruz.

We had to drag the stocish Cherokee out from comitee after something got wet and it wouldn't run more than 15-20 sec. Some ruff spots to drag a dead truck through
