    As they say, it was fun until it wasn't

    yes you're missing out, the good thing about midget porn conventions is that they really know how to keep it on the down low... and they usually keep it short and simple

    In case any of you don't know, we do a wheeling trip once a month or so. We aren't just out there "pre running". We explore and camp. We like to talk trucks and make delicious food and drink fine bourbon and wash it down with beer and good times.

    Depending on our destination the trails can be mild, or technical. They can be fast or slow. But they are always remote.

    We always wait for everybody at turns, we help anybody who breaks, we spot anybody who needs help clearing a trail, and we stay in constant radio contact.

    We enjoy bringing first-timers, aka n00bs, and stock trucks are always welcome. The only requirements are that you have good mud or AT tires, and full size spare and tools to change them. However, I will say no to anybody with a spacer lift; they always break. A lot of times, a 2wd truck is ok too, just depends on the destination.

    Our camping is always remote, no services. So you will need to be self-sufficient with your camping gear. Unless you're Dragos. He's the only one allowed to bum camp supplies because he gives great hand jobs. Just make sure you slap his hands with your belt a few times so they are nice and pudgy and soft.

    Our next trip is next week, Spangler Hills and Trona Pinnacles: https://www.tundras.com/threads/spangler-hills-trona-pinnacles-run-sep-28-30.31243/

    Oct is somewhere in AZ: https://www.tundras.com/threads/october-run-parker-area.30477/

    Nov is Death Valley Turkey run

    The best way to figure out what suspension you need is to actually get out there in the dirt with people who have already learned the lessons. Roll with us sometime and we'll crack a brewski and talk trucks
