It ain't much but the wife took videos at each river xing from the cab of the blue taco.  If you had me behind you at those points you might like seeing your Jeep splash a bit. 

Resolution isnt great, this was really for my old texas mom to enjoy, so its not exactly a thrilling montage

Tom thanks for the video. Had to prove to the wife it was something she would enjoy.

Good video Tom, very cool to hear your daughter enjoying it so much!

I recall one comment over the radio during the ride... something like "why cant i stop smiling"  .... I smiled so hard when i heard that I thot my face would break.

Great vid and what Tony said about your daughter.  Sounds like she is ready for Morris Mountain!

If Allsouth can pull through with the bit of lift discussed on that thread (and my new CB doesnt have a broke mic)... I hope to join all future easy to moderate trails.  My old vietnam vet of a Dad said "i remember ranger school around there, but looks like you found a better way to get around."

Great video tom, those are good times.   My wife and kids come on the rides as well.  The first time we went up Bell mountain on last years FS ride I was freaking out and my then 6 year old daughter told me, "daddy you can do it, just believe in yourself"....


You do need to look at some rock sliders when you get the lift.  Even if you stay away from bigger obstacles you may have a tree limb flip up on you or some loose rocks bouncing up from your tires.   A taco just like yours was with us at gulches and did a very narrow, hard trail with the jeeps just fine, but needed the sliders...and they will function as steps for the rest of the family to get in with the lift.

Wendy is cracking a smile here on Bell mountain, after we got up the v ditch easily with our upgrades from this year.

That means you should be able to join almost all sanctioned GATR rides, since almost all of the locations have those levels of trails.  Are you going to be able to make it to Morris Mountain in Feb?  I didn't get a chance to check out your Taco (sounds dirty to me) the other day.

I was thinking about rev limiter.  Nothing else like it around. 

I think she'll be back...

Yep, another thing I've been looking at.  Not all happening at once tho.

There's a guy at the tacomaworld forums manufacturing some pretty stellar sliders for tacomas I keep looking at:
