Ha ha! I've done a lot harder stuff since then, that's for sure. Have you checked my site where I have some pics and vids lately? http://www.toyota-4runners.com/off-roading.html

What's the JAM, and where can I find out about it?

Chris

 

The annual East Coast 4Runner JAM of course.

I better see you there!

We need to start a

Hey Gadget is there a set date?

And correct me if I'm wrong, but it's at Paragon right?

 

It is where ever and when ever we all plan it to be.

So......how about Attica, Indiana??

It'd probably be too small.

 

I was never real good with the state capitols and all, but how close is Indiana to the East Coast?

Me either! I have no clue!

Chris

 

I just picked a random city in maryland

from Baltimore City to Attica, it's a 10.5 hr drive

Yea I know it's not close to the east coast at all, but worth a try

 

Of course I was joking, damn.

The East Coast 4Runner Jam is held on the East Coast every year.

What Little Joe tried to do last year was to get people to host jams in different parts of the country during the same weekend as the East Coast Jam. It would be nice to get one on the East Coast, Left Coast and one in the Central part of our great country at the same time.

I think If we all start planning now we can pull it off. Of course we had folks from Alabama, Georgia, and New England coming to PA last time IN THE RAIN! It is an even that is certainly worth the drive.

In a related subject...since you've decided to hijack this thread

The CO4RJ is being planned for Moab! (I think in Sept)

 

Yup, most of the interest seemed to be for a gathering in Moab next year. Around September seems likely for Moab. I've been checking into the BLM requirements recently. We will have a max number of people that can attend that event since the BLM requires a massive amount of organization, fees, insurance, and pre-approval by the BLM for groups larger than 40 or 50. And they impose huge fines per person if they find out and it's exceeded. So we'll be staying under that.

It's possible that there'll also be a small CO4RJ event during the summer. There was some interest expressed in that by some locals last year. In other words CO4RJ might split into a Colorado event and a Moab 4RJ. But that Colorado event will probably be a really simple camping trip over some weekend unless someone else wants to take it on and build it up into something more.

The time of the year for these gatherings in Colorado and Moab is largely dictated by weather in each area. Colorado is best in July or Aug. But Moab is way too hot in the summer and it's best in Spring (but very busy with other 4x4 events) or late Fall.

 

Okay, back to the topic of the thread. Here's a few pics from my trip this past weekend at Windrock. The videos may be added tonight or tomorrow: http://www.toyota-4runners.com/windrock12-06-03.html

Here's a video of me on Rocker Knocker in Pritchett Canyon, Moab. It's basically an example of the wrong line, but it's still worth an attempt since the "right" line is diagonal across the ledges and there's some risk of rollover. And no, I didn't need to squeel my tires that much. I was just having so much fun at the time. I broke my front right outer stub shaft a few seconds before the end of the video (at 1:02).

Due to the spiral break, it still made the wheel turn after the breakage. That was what confused us immediately after it happened.

 

So Jeff did ever make it up?

Chris

 

Yes, but not unassisted. I winched a couple feet to the truck in front of me to get my front wheels on the top ledge. I could drive it from there.

 

Cool man! It looked like a good run!
