In.

Also, deets on up time/location?
Probably gonna run the northern section backwards, since the south section is likely very waterlogged. May be bypassing some of the crossings depending on depth.

Meetup location: Vincentown Wawa (4 NJ-72, Vincentown, NJ 08088)

Reminder on what to bring:
- Walkie talkies
- Recovery gear if you have it (strap, shackles, etc.)
- Small toolkit
- Water
- Spare pair of shoes and dry socks (just in case)
- A good sense of humor

Also, check your spare tire air pressure and make sure the mechanism works if you need to lower it.

What sort of tools are needed? I dont have a car tool kit short of stock and some emergency stuff

Wifey has to stop in at a client in the morning, so we want to plan things out time wise.
10AM meetup at the Wawa - that gonna work?

Yep, that sounds good!

So a rav4 is fine for this, right?

I mean, TBH - the Rav4 does have a center diff lock. It'd get you a lot farther than you'd expect, you'd just have to be careful with the exhaust piping underneath.

Buuuuuuut I probably wouldn't recommend it. You'd be scraping/bottoming out in places.

7.5" ground clearance is cuck. :sad:

A standard mini tool kit is always good to have in your car. I've got enough tools regardless, but it's not a bad idea to start building your own.

Yea, im going to. I had to borrow a 7/18 wrench from a friend recently to install the dead pedal... My home tool kit had a lot less than i expected for cars. Thnx for now tho

For the Rav6

Yep. Definitely out. She can’t get any coverage to switch shifts.

Balls.

think I'm pretty much set for tomorrow, only issue is I put it in 4wd today just for shits, and the hubs are still locked after going back to 2wd and reversing. Havent had this happen before...idk if its vacuum or electric. Not sure if this is going to be an issue going to and from the trail tomorrow. I did hack off that bracket doe.

Gotta be back in Wilmington by 4

Would like to make it, but still have the lip spoiler on the truck too.

Welp that was fun! Unfortunately didn't get too many pics

Posted: **Sun Jan 27, 2019 7:47 pm**

Chops, I couldn’t help but picturing you on some crazy African safari or something with that van.
I may have been watching too many cross-country documentaries lately.

Gaia did not want to play nicely just running off WiFi. Going to pick up a Bluetooth gps puck to correct that.

Haven’t found a good mount solution for my iPad mini yet though.

Nice shots. That van is awesome

Posted: **Mon Jan 28, 2019 8:59 am**

Yas! Awesome shots as always [user not found]!

Looks like it was fun. Shame I couldn't make it with the toy Jeep.

Posted: **Mon Jan 28, 2019 10:50 am**

Here is my take. I'll try to figure out how to upload the vid of the first epic puddles. I may have gone a bit overboard with the colors on these pictures... what do you guys think?

Posted: **Mon Jan 28, 2019 11:02 am**

Looks sick guys. Who had the modded JK?

But glad to see another perspective other than my own.

For the video, upload to Youtube and just post the link.

You may also be able to share from your Amazon account.

Sweet, I'll touch up and keep in mind for next shots. Still fairly new to editing, so I appreciate the feedback!

Some bros that Apex works with/knows.

We sent them through the deeper holes first as a depth checker.
