Mini Diesel Run...

[3stagevtec]

What do you guys think about a night run? To somewhere we can camp down for a while, maybe do a BBQ or small cook on a beach? If anyone has a portable generator and a projector, maybe we can watch a movie too

OK, it's just an idea that needs refinement, but what do you all think? for later next year of course..

[lighthammer]

^ you know 3stage, I've been knocking that idea in my mind a couple weeks now, but you said it first.

I wouldn't mind that at all, camping and stuff sounds like a boss idea - even better with movie and all .

Even if the camping idea don't work out, maybe a beach house near a trail or something...

But like u said, sometime next year.....

[originalbling]

night run... interesting...

I wonder if we can get some TTDF or TTPS boys to ride along... just in case nah

[bleedingfreak]

One of the aborted runs of 2010 was a evening night run to go turtle watching in grande rivière or mathura... This was supposed to be the run immediately following icacos

It will possibly be attempted in 2011

well you are supposed to be able to get TTPS officers if you put in a request and pay the fee at the station (I think).

i cood take lead on Carmelita Falls if yall want, been there a few weeks ago...

[droppa]

how is it Mr. cuddles? any offroading trails or just normel tarmac......?

[lighthammer]

^ lol remember what happened last time we thought it was just "normal pavement"

[3stagevtec]

as we have learnt, there's no such thing as a 'mini run'

I wonder if Carmelita Falls has facilities for 'extra curricular activities'?? I'm thinking something along the lines of hiking.. (mainly since the place may not have much trails to play on..)

Speaking of hiking, anyone ever went to Mathura National Park?



I went Toco earlier this year and stumbled upon this place.. I spoke to some hikers there and they said it has a nice hiking trail, IIRC approx 2hrs walking time..



I'm not sure if the place is driveable, or if we will be allowed to drive on the trails, but it seems like a nice idea.. to promote fitness etc..

no real offroadin trails relly, very minor if any, but den agen we werent lookin for trails jus tryna find d waterfall

tarmac an alot of bad gravel roads but nothin a 4x2 cant handle

its jus a cool simple drive to d waterfall, dont expect any offroadin, yall mite be disappointed...

Ok now that qualifies as a "mini-run". Sounds like a nice run, to go lime and bring family, etc.

The waterfall bathe-able?
Where exactly and how would you get to the waterfall?

[droppa]

do u have to park and walk to the waterfall, or is it a stones throw away?

With you guys saying "let we go nah" at any possible opportunity this might turn into a big run again

[lighthammer]

Fellas over-eager inside here boy.


I still trying to get over the scratches the Nav got from the last one .

[MrCuddles]

waterfall bathe-able once u dont mind d cold green water

an d waterfall isnt close to d road its a lil way down a mud track, a bit slippery wen wet but not far frm d road

will hv 2 park on d side a d road an wlk tru som bush, dats as much off-roadin as yall will get

[Dunman]

After seeing what happened on the last "paved-road" run", I wouldn't be surprised to see pics of 4x4s parked under de waterfall.

Especially if certain people get their toyos, lol.

[jhonnieblue]

sounding like a nice lil mini run there
early new year right

[Jeremy Mohd]

Mr Cuddles... when you say a "MUD TRACK"... ( )... down to the falls...

How wide is it?

[MrCuddles]

[speedaholic]

[droppa]

the vitara pull out two vehicles plus himself last time jed.....

so the nex run comin soon orrr

[jhonnieblue]

early nex year rite?

[lighthammer]

^^ see, I tell ya' Jhonnieblue catch the trail-fever!
Ever since de man ride with me on the Blanchi-trail, he heart hurtin' to leave the 4x2 Nav behind .


WHen you getting the toyo's man? I might get the Kumho's... based on their long tread-wear life since I've had them on the frontier (almost 3 years/70,000km's) on them and they still have tread.

[3stagevtec]

early nex year rite?

yes sir..

(I doubt i'll have my 4x4 reverse fully operational by then, I am doing some research into strengthening my front diff, a known weak point in the Grand Virara's..)

[droppa]

^^was the diff that was fleckking up, or was the hubs.......

i eh check mine yet, have to deal with the bigger issues first......

but i will be ready time the air is clear......

[3stagevtec]

I took down the hubs and visually checked them, to me they seemed fine, no evidence of slipping at all.. The next weakest point is the clutch in my front diff, so that's why I suspect that.

I have the original factory Suzuki lock out hubs, so I will test the diff with those to ensure the hubs really is not at fault..

[droppa]

fellas quiet in here boi.......

[lighthammer]

i thinking of the night-run...
That would have to be a good-sized run with a decent amount of diesel heads attending... safety in numbers and whatnot.

Anyone has a generator for perimeter lighting, etc.?
