Met up with a bunch of people from our local 4x4 club, of which Subacool and I are members, and headed out to an offroad park east of Denver. They are usually closed in the winter, but in part greatly to Subacool, the owner decided to open it up for us. Talk about a great time! 15 rigs I think, plus Subacool hauled his VW buggy out with the Outback.

I'll let the pictures tell the story. About 100 of them, so be sure to check the slideshow here for all of them: https://rides.webshots.com/slideshow/575918486nvGmEl


On the way out:

Check out this awesome shot! John rocking his 4 door long bed dodge heavy duty diesel.

Problem was that's as far as he got! Got his hitch stuck on a rock when his tires lost grip and he slid back down.

Subacool's buggy, which seemed to make a TON of noise without really going anywhere.

Karla hopped inside with the video camera!

Subacool attempting one of the hills. With the bald tires and everything, it took a few tries!

Take one:

I gave him atleast one faceful of mud when he stuck his head out his window to see what was going on. Lol whoops!!

Ooo yes, this way is much better... After we tweaked cr's bumper a bit. Whoops!

My turn to get really stuck!!

Can you hear Randy say, "ok lets go home!"
lmao.gif


[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VERqoZ25yM"]YouTube- Stuck![/ame]


Thankfully Randy didn't leave, as it was his big diesel I was counting on to pull me out! Would've been nice if I could've gotten those windows up sooner. Lol. Please note Karla's incredible redneck "that's a big 'ol pit" at the end.

Subacool gives Rhino a try:

It had gotten pretty slick! Roland's street tires didn't help:

Towards the end of the day we went out for a drive with our friend John. Was nice to see him having such a good time in the slick stuff!

Karla took the wheel for most of this drive, she loves getting sideways! Although she did take it easy on the 'burb.

Uh... Who turned my girlfriend into a banshee?? *shudder

Great pics mate. :biggrin:
Now is that a 4 Runner (I don't think it is though) that I see showing us some serious air. :eek: :lildevil:
Looks like a blast of a time you guys had. :biggrin:

Regards
Mr Turbo
 
The red one that got way up in the air in the photo I posted is a Chevy K5. There was a black 4 Runner there, along with a red/black two tone (no window tint) Land Cruiser (FJ60 I believe).
 
Mmm, the black one is the one I was admiring. I think they stopped selling 4Runners here in about '96, but that one looks a bit more modern than the last ones we got - are they still available?

Seems a shame for that park to be closed in winter - lots of fun to be had by look of it!
 
Yeah, we've started a discussion with the owner about why he closes it in the winter. Seems it's mostly because he lives in Denver and has a 120 mile round trip to get out to the park to open it up.

Yep, that's a 4Runner. Sucks you guys can't get them! His was incredibly capable and is basically stock. He actually said it started to tick him off cause he couldn't get it sideways! :lol:

I'd love to include more pic/video but I was having way too much fun making noise going "nowhere" :raspberry: In reality, I've followed the big boys almost everywhere they've gone (and got a kick out of them when they saw me!). The only thing I've opted out of was the mud pit, just because I didn't feel like getting muddy. It was a definite that I'd have to get pulled out, just didn't feel the need for going in :p I did go through the shallow pit (the parade) just not with the main group. I'm still waiting for a video of that to surface as I've seen some cameras out. Those deep ruts sure made for a fun ride :iconwink:

Btw, Smash forgot to mention that my transmission was shot to begin with. The Bug ran strong regardless of not having all usable gears!
 
Awesome!!! Just watched the slide show and all the videos, looks like y'all had a great time.:biggrin:

Love all the Yota's that were along, but I think my fave is the red Blazer, that thing is sweet!!!:cool:
