Title: Hungry Valley SVRA: 10 September
Post by: RikRong on September 12, 2016, 10:30:39 AM
So, I met up at Hungry Valley with BCBrian and R0O from the "NorCal Crew" and a couple of other guys from ClubFrontier.  They camped up there, but I only wheeled with them on Saturday.  All told, we did about 80 miles on the trails.  It was great to feel out the new suspension.  The Titan swap has instilled capability into the truck that is probably far past my driving skills.  I had zero issues, except for the slick concrete on the drainage pipe in the park.  I just chalk that up to driver inexperience.

Absolutely.  Actually, I stayed in 2 for the most of the trails.  I only used 4hi on some of the steeper descents, and I only used 4lo and locker in the park and on the gatekeeper on Pronghorn.  Just make sure you air down and are steady on the throttle and you'll be good.  If you head out let me know, and I might try to meet you, depending on what's going on.

Nice Rick, way to get at it!
You and your rig have come a long way since that first day on Cleghorn.

Thank you! You and Randy were the first to take me out and put me in spots where I could learn the truck.  If it wasn't for you all, I'd still be tearing up the desert roads here in Rosamond.
