Thats the la vega that i kno about..........

WE GOING LA VEGA!!!!!!!!

[Rutless Tiida]

WOW!!!

[lighthammer]

^^^... uhh... that's kinda far from the Front Office and plant shop in La Vega .
Yeah I think there are a few trails here and there around the area.

But I wouldn't venture too far out on those trails, not many of them would have been properly mapped or driven - no telling what condition those trails are like.

Drive them at your own risk - me, I going and lime by the lake and eat meh lunch and maybe buy a couple of nice phycus trees for the front yard of meh fadda house .


So..... Sunday January 23rd 2011 - Carmelita Falls, then Rally Stage in the Canefields, then Lime in La Vega.....
Looks like it'll be a short run (in terms of miles travelled) but possibly a fun one (I looking forward to the rally stage).

Meetup time - 8:30 - 9AM, leaving at 9:15AM to allow any stragglers if any.


Who's in?

By next week, once the list finalized, we'll start organizing the meeting point which will be sent to you guys via PM and email (for safety's sake - too much killing and shyet going on in sweet-sweet T&T).

Around that time you can start PM'ing me with your proper name, contact no & email, vehicle plate no. and make/model so you can be identified when you arrive that morning at the meet point....
and we'll organize all the info one time.
(don't PM me yet, ah not quite ready!)



Anybody got handheld radio's? Bring them if you can, so we can communicate while on the road and on the Rally stage.

I don't think you can watch anyone drive into that and not want to try it yourself!
Doesn't look that bad, but I'm sure we will walk and check it out before attempting to drive through it..

i know that trail in La Vega

i walked it and was seriously considering driving it

it was dry when I went and I was on Roadstones

could have made it on the Roadstones as they were new back then

that is a nice trail, but short

will make for some good photos ops

it comes out on the other side of the estate

3Stage, the Mudzillas sexxy eh

[Rutless Tiida]

^^^^we mite have to get ah recovery vehicle for the recovery vehicle

That only needs a few mods to fit...
1. Sell the GV
2. Buy a pickup....
Problem solved....

I am out of any trails on this run. You guys got me excited last time and we almost got stuck in the bush last time....Although it was fun....

No RT stop it.... Go for it....no..yes..no..

^ that same day I was watching a dude mount some 33" MTs on some Mickey Thompson rims on an old model Hilux in Mileage Mack.. the truck basically looked stock.. One day i'll sell this Zuki and step up to something a lil more powerful..

Speaking of MT wheels, I almost bought the black Sidebiter's when I saw them..



They looked soo sweet!! Too bad the 15'"s kept hitting my calipers..

[Haunted]

3stagevtec.... what kinda tyres u runnin on your GV?

[3stagevtec]

3stagevtec.... what kinda tyres u runnin on your GV?

Right now I am running some 28" (215/70R16) Hercules Terra Trac ATs.. Anything taller really affects the performance of my GV.. I tested out some 29.5" tyres (245/70R16) just recently and they really killed my overall acceleration and torque at the wheels..

That's my biggest issue right now, i'd really like to get some MTs, but most of them are way too tall, and the few 29" MTs that I can use are only available for 15" rims.. and as I said, 15"s keep hitting my brake calipers.. (I have the V6 GV front brakes)

basically, I am out of options at the moment..

[3stagevtec]

I have that rim ^^^

steups.. if I can get the classic lock wheel with the low back spacing, maybe they just might fit.. i really like the look of the MT wheels, but the black looked alot better than I had expected! one day..

[3stagevtec]

Mileage Mack has them..

[droppa]

^^i think u can get those by deans....

how much for the zilla?

Those are AT rated?

For daily use / light trail use, i'll stick with either a 215 (27.85") or 225/70R16 (28.4) tyre.. If I have to buy a MT, 29" will be the tallest i'll consider..

Right now I deciding between choosing the Terra Tracs again (they worked great for me!) or trying out the BFG ATs..

Rotated... give us some info on ur rig man... or even better.. pics

[lighthammer]

This is the website for La Vega Estates

http://www.lavegaestate.com/

It's a nice little estate, good for a quiet afternoon lime - nothing noisy, no big set of music and rum, etc. etc. - None of that please.

They're open everyday and sunday, 9am - 5pm.
So should be good time to lime after our lunchtime rallying fun.


Here's the map and directions to reach to their estate:
http://www.lavegaestate.com/map.htm


I'll try to call their office today to ask about trails to try our 4x4 on, etc. but that's not the main reason I going though, I wanna check out their plants

[droppa]

^^yeah we know, is the plants you wanna check out, real real.....

[Rotated]

Mr speedaholic my rig is a black Vigo with 24" KMC Dime wheels...No pics sorry.

AT La Vega U can call and reserve a shed/or sheds around the lake to lounge or to have meals..
Its possible to rent fishing rods from them to kill some time if thats your thing,also available are the peddle boats that u can rent,its not a four wheeler but its a four footer peddle boat...
They have a few small trails open to the public but they lead to other areas that can be used for chillin.
