snakes

I might be down. I might be up AFC though too. I need to get out bad. I'd really like to take the XJ out now that it's running good. I've done it in the FJ a couple of times and it's not fun stressing so much.
 
I wouldn't mind making one more trip up there before the 4runner goes under the knife for the rest of the year. I can probably be out there around 3 or 3:30.
 
I might be down for this too. Not sure if I'd be running Constrictor with the FJ though with IFS and no winch. :(

I'm thinking its time to sell the damn thing.

I ran the Snakes, not Constrictor in my FJ (twice) with just my lift. It's the cheapo Rough Country 3", but it gave me enough clearance. If you don't have sliders, you might catch your rockers. I did it on the crap Dunlops from the dealership too. You could easily do it in the FJ, just have to be careful. You might drag the bumper once or twice, but who cares.

I wouldn't attempt Constrictor in an FJ unless it was SAS'd with sliders and skid plates.

Well if we end up going you are more than welcome to ride with me the rest of the way up the trail if you get uncomfortable continuing at any point.
 
thant would work for me. I will be away from my computer after today so I will just plan on meeting out there around 3 to 3:30 on thursday. if plans change give me a call 801-885-4621
 
Cool, i'll try my best to be out there, and I'll call you if I can't for some reason. I'm moving out of Eagle Mountain and the truck will be cut in half in a couple weeks, so one more run will be nice.

BTW what do you drive?

Its got a 3 inch lift with 33's so clearnace is at least workable. Also have sliders on there and a good set of skids at home waiting to be installed.

I've done rattlesnake several times without much problem. I took a look at Waynes World and thought about it, but wasn't interested in rolling my vehicle. :ugh:

Constrictor does look to be almost unrunable with the IFS and sway bars connected in the front. If I decide to play hookey, I'll be in a silver FJ with red sliders. :greg:
 
work just threw something at me and I will not be able to make it out there sorry we'll have to do it another time
