That was a great trail run! We did the Fisher West trail in great time and had enough time to hit Elbow Falls on the way back. Had a really good turn out and great weather until when we had to air back up.

Winch led the modified and seasoned wheeler's as DocMcCoy and freeze led the new and stock group. The new and stock trucks did really well on the trail. Rain storms have really exposed more rock on the hill climbs on Fisher West which made a really good challenge. On the way down, the later group took the super steep descent where a group of dirt biker's and quad's said they were crazy! Tacotaco's rear end lifted on the descent as it was nearing the limits of the Tacoma!

Half the group made it out to Elbow Falls where Max Magnet jumped the cliff into the base of the falls which is about 30ft. There was quite the crowd on the tourist side of the falls taking video and photo's.

Awesome trail run and we look forwards to the next!

See you on the trail!

Yeah that was awesome. Once again, wish we had VHF because our group had no way of communicating with the rest. We saw a brown bear and a moose and had some ineteresting wheeling. Will post some pics later.

Hey Gary! Bummer we didn't see you out at the falls but it sounds like your group had a great time!

It's going to be mandatory for trail leader's to have a VHF radio as we are splitting groups and are in different parts of the area.

I'll be sending an email to to the group to upload photo's and vids again so we can put together the photo's and video of the run.

T-Max 900lb Winch (Thanks for the install Will & Nathan)

I must say that I was very impressed with that 900lb winch of yours in the washout, Doc. My 8000lb winch doesn't even pull that strong. :)

try the atv valves like I just did.. I think it will hold up better. if I rip the ATV ones then it will be relocation time

Lol ... Yeah T-Max under rates their winches by a lot. Thanks for spotting that typo. Speaking of spotting, thanks to you and Nathan for spotting me out of that mess.

No worries on missing the run! You know we're always going to be out there month after month...haha!

There's only one thing that would make this video better.... more FJ's and Runners and Pick-Ups and Land Cruisers... haha

The splitting into smaller groups worked really well and we ended up meeting up on the trail in the more open spots. I hope everyone had fun.... cause I had lots of fun!

Hey Freeze, when are you going to put all the pics up from the run?

I think we (as a group) should devise a way of collaborating photos so everyone can pick and choose which shots they like the best.

It's inevitable that I end up with more pictures of other people's trucks than mine!
