All typed up on a phone so I am sure I am forgetting **** and excuse the typos!
Dunno, if it was it was a trip that I didn't go. The guy that built it and owned it lived in Colorado springs. He met me half way for delivery. Kind of a long trip to Clayton from there but def. not unheard of.
Cool looking rig. She's going to wheel circles around you.
The disco ball in my mouth, insinuates I'm ballin'
Well this came true on Sunday. I am nicknaming this rig "The Goat" cause it climbs stuff it really shouldn't. Took "The Goat", the taco and the wife out to Bridgeport, TX for a day run to Northwest OHV Park. If you haven't been out there and live in the Dallas area it is worth the 25 bucks a rig to wheel. It is built and maintained by the City of Bridgeport which I think is pretty cool.
Anyways point of the trip was for Amanda to get some seat time in her new rig. Left the house about 8:45 and the Trailer had a blowout in Carrolton about 9:30. Back on the road by 10:15 (Thank god for 20 Ton bottle jacks), and pulled into the park about 11:15. Tried to take her on an easy trail first to get her used to driving it and wound up on this 4 diamond trail. Struggled a little to get the Taco up it, apparently when they rate 4 out of 5 out there they mean it. Finally bounced it out the trail and Amanda got about half way up and got a little nervous, so I drove it out. Damn thing didn't slip a tire while I had to grab 3rd in the Taco and bounce it up the trail. Got her back behind the wheel of the Goat and convinced her I was sorry for taking her on a hard trail for her first trail. Found a trail at the back of the property Called "Minos" that was also rated a 4 Diamond but it was a dried creek bed similar to what you find up in Clayton, not anything real steep just big boulders. What do you know she has a blast and decides she wants to lead the rest of the day. She started picking out trails that I am looking at going "WTF...." and she is just walking all the lines she is taking while I struggle to keep up with the Tacoma.
Needless to say the day was a great success and she and "The Goat" will be joining me when we head down to Canyon's Off Road park at the end of the month.
Oh and somehow she broke the valve on the linelock, so I told her to ask before she touches anything else if she doesn't know what it does...
Pictars:
Boo for blowouts:
A happy wife makes for a good day

It was a nice park:
Same Trail looking back down:
And back up:
They had a couple of cool ledges to play around on and I tried something the Taco just wasn't making up:
All in all a good day of wheeling.
Looks like a fun day. Good deal on the new rig, sounds like DavidO's prediction came through a bit faster than you thought.
