Best Gen Crew goes to T2S

It appears that we’ll be in the AZ area around the end of April and thinking about checking out T2S for a few days. Is anyone planning on attending? Event is set for April 26th-May 1st. I know @Sunnier will be there, @des2mtn @FrenchToasty @alb1k @oscardog86 @AL_TUNDY are you guys gonna be there?

Damn my luck: I will probably NOT be able to attend this year as it falls in the same month, but after, my kid’s spring break. I did get to attend the last 2 years on the October schedule, so this tim I gotta mom. I hope to make it next year.

 

I plan on being there Wednesday thru Saturday, going to try and do broken arrow and go fast Friday as far as trails go. The weekend will be busy, so try and plan for early week activities

 

I'm planning on taking the whole week off for it. Thinking of taking a few days off the week before or after as well.

Bummer Can I borrow your truck then?

 

Damn it! I really wanted to see Hulk in action!!

We plan to attend during the week and bounce once it gets crazy on Friday. Im definitely down to do broken arrow!

We’re gonna hopefully be off the week after and are heading to the GC and Moab if you wanna join for a little.

I call shotgun!!!

 

We will also probably check out grand falls/chocolate falls, the spring melt should make it better than when we saw it in October

 

We’re down!!

 

That sounds nice. I'm not sure if I'd be able to get up to Moab, but I was actually thinking of heading towards Southern Utah at least.

 

Plan is to hit up Zion, Bryce, NBNM and goblin valley on the way up to Moab. Join any part if you can!

 

I have no current plans to be there. Yet, by then, I plan to be close to as good as it's gonna get, and some real tests under the belt. So. could be.

I should add, that if I'm going to show my backside, it should be around friends.

 

I've read this five times and I'm still not sure what you're saying

If you don't have plans, make 'em!

 

I think he means

his truck will be as ready as it is likely ever to be, and he’ll have driven it a bit, so maybe he’ll be up to speed….

 

Only one of the trails is challenging. The rest are well within anyone’s ability if you’re driving a high clearance vehicle with 4x4. It’s very much geared toward newer off-road drivers. It’s worth the drive from LA.

 

How about a high clearance 2WD with a rear locker?

 

That's what I meant. Reads the same to me...

 

Sounds like a fun challenge

 

Did you ever meet a challenge you did not consider fun, @Cruzer ? But, I agree.

 

Yes, that will be fine. To assuage the grumpy locals— by making sure we don’t add unnecessary ruts to trails— T2S’s official guidance is 4x4 only during T2S week. That said, if you air down on dirt, have a locker you’ll engage when appropriate, and know how to drive your truck, I can’t imagine you’ll lose traction anywhere and need to spin.

I don’t recommend doing Smiley Rock without 4x4 during this event… if you have buddies fore and aft to winch you, or you wanna pile rocks as you go, anything is possible. But any stucks by anyone effectively shut down the trail in both directions.

 

I guess I haven’t But now I’m thinking I might do the same at T2S - 2wd and locked

 

I was gonna bring my mean ass Sangria to share

 

Seems that if I have a respect for what I can do and what I can't do, and plan appropriately, I can come out and not be a dic. I don't have an ego about it, I can sideline all day long.

 

As @Sunnier mentioned, there will be tons of stuff you can easily do lifted and locked.

 

The trip to the falls @FrenchToasty mentioned will be 2WD friendly.

Just don't go too far into the cinders.

 

Well then. I’ll guess I’ll hafta put in for 4 weeks of PV, so I can make it!!

 

If you don’t mind my assessment based on attending a few times… I suggest you ride shotgun (and you can hop out and be a spotter, if you’re willing) on Smiley Rock, and maybe don’t go exploring too far off hard tracks behind Cinders after Go Fast Friday, but you should be able to get to the Cinders location, no problem. And every other trail I know about that’s been part of this even in years past.

 

That’s all it took?!

 

It all good @alb1k, we 4x4’s have straps and winches

 

Probably not. A whole lotta layers of bosses to get through. But it certainly added even more to my motivation to … overcome obstacles.

 

Sounds like great advice. Thank you @Sunnier !
