So I hear that you guys haven't spen't much time out at TM...
Lets do a run out there. As hard or easy as you want. :D
#2
Saturday's clean-up is the first time I have been there and it was incredible. We did a lot of work and then went and played a few before heading out.

There was one area that we went and I wondered what trail it was. We went out the dirt road to where they are strip mining or what everit is that they are digging and piling up. We went down to the closed gate and then dropped into the wash to the right. It was a real cool area to go down thru. Anyone know what it is??

Id love to do a run out there, Ive only been on the east side of table mesa back when my jeep was stock. East side takes you to 7 springs road and you can follow it all the way out, eventually ending up in cave creek

I havent been anywhere on the west side, I know theres alot of tough trails out there though

So what do you say, want to be our tour guide?

No but I can find someone who will... I haven't spent enough time in TM to be able to lead. When are you going to have your rig fixed?

TM Trails

Anaconda - 4.5 (Tight)
Annihilator - 5 (Breakover & Verticals)
Armageddon - 4.5 (Huge hole at the top of the Chute, rest of the trail is stacked pretty good, ending is anti-climatic now)
Collateral Damage - 5 (Tight, breakover problems on the first set of falls).
Die Hard - 5, 4 if you stack rocks (please don't). In a narrow buggy you can drive it all but you will grind the cage in spots. This is what Armageddon used to be like.
Judgement Day 3, used to be tight with lots of holes, now mostly paved save for two obstacles.
Lower Terminator - 3
Matrix - 5, if you can't drive the first section without stacking, go home.
Powerline - Don't know?
Predator - Used to be a solid 4, now a 3 due to stacking.
Raw Deal - 2-3, depends on the line
River Run - ?
Sixth Day - 4.5 Need lots of clearance underneath, huge boulders.
Tip Top - 2
Twisted - 5 This one can eat your lunch no matter what you drive, easy to get hosed.
Upper Terminator - 3 due to one obstacle.

And I got the coordinates to get you inordinate, baby.
:roll: :?:

pics from anaconda when I did it in Oct.



See anything wrong?


This rock took out 3 fenders. The guy in the pick is running an atlas 5.0, locked f/r... He still had to take the cable.

I say we do Lower Terminator but am up for anything...
#8
You know that I will try anything even with running open axels, but lets not get carried away. If it is impossible for me to do then there is no point on me brakeing something just for fun.

I know they make for good pics Mike but who has to pay to get it fixed (if you cant fix it yourself). There are still parts involved and I know you would like to see me bust an axel so I can go get a better one. Lets wait till my bank account gets too full again, ok.
#9
upper and lower terminator dont sound too bad, if its a true 3 running openn front and rear shouldnt be a problem
#10
Lower term isn't that bad. You can make it open with no problem.
#11
Can you run it without 4 wheel drive?
#12
no
#13
Just wondering to see if a certain someone would be able to make this trip.
#14
Ha ha, good one Jared. :wink: Hey, I'll mention this again since I've only mentioned it to Mike. I know of a two guys that wanna go out with us sometime. It would need to be like a 3-4 rating considering one has a stock rubi and the other has a Land Cruiser. Anyway, lemme know if there's a decently easy run we can include them on. They're not afraid to get scratches or dings.
