Speaker 1:So you guys know I've got johnny on, chris on, tyson on and cory on my friends. Um, we all camp together and the reason I got all of us on is because without Tyson I would have never met Chris. Tyson introduced me to Johnny, who introduced me to Corey, and Tyson's also the reason I started the podcast. I felt like it's his birthday and it's the 101st episode. A lot of things. There's a lot of reasons to have all of us together. It's a specific group of guys that I wanted to have together and we'll just go from there. So how old are you?
Speaker 2:tyson 38 man, the big 38, I'll drink to that. Yes, uh, yeah. So two, two years away from 40, bro like I don't know, it's getting old how old are you? Johnny uh, 27, 28, 27, 28, old enough, old enough that's funny at what point do you go through your midlife crisis nowadays? Is that like because, like the 40s, the new 50s, so is that like you go through your midlife crisis now, or do I need to wait till I'm a little little bit older, like when? You stop going through your midlife crisis.
Speaker 1:I want to know.
Speaker 2:I've not stopped. That's not true.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I guess, so I want to know you guys were just talking about losing weight. What's the deal here with Chris? What do you guys got?
Speaker 3:going on there, chris, just you know go through a lot of stress and you know just kind of pause off.
Speaker 2:Just trying to sell that house. Boy Just trying to sell the house. Boy just trying to sell that house. Yeah, no, I definitely understand that, but you're looking great man. That's awesome. Proud of you, thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like thinner chris, it's like we got. We got 0.75 chris.
Speaker 2:I'm just curious of when you start growing the beard, like you know. You see the theme of the group, you know I can't do it like you guys.
Speaker 3:It just comes in nasty.
Speaker 1:It just does not look good but what you're saying is I shave, I need to donate it to you and you're gonna.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, let's all just donate uh beer to chris, yeah, it doesn't work well, maybe like a goatee, like you got, you got the goatee. I mean just something going on, you know yeah, yeah or you could just do that you could do, like the grease um sideburns.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean oh, yeah, I think like the real 80s, like ron jeremy. You know what I mean mutton chops man.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there you go, yeah, hell yeah, that'd be great.
Speaker 2:I mean I'm pretty sure like the whole reason why I can't grow hair on the top of my head is because it's all coming down here. You know what I mean. Like, you can just let one go and the other one just disappears. So I think that if I was shaving, at least you got a full head of hair. Bro, like you know, you're still. I did on that area my head.
Speaker 3:My head hair is very strong, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his head game strong. That's what I heard too. That's what I heard, yeah.
Speaker 2:You wonder why we camp with old.
Speaker 3:Chris you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:That's funny. By the way, Chris, did you ever get rid of those gray sweatpants?
Speaker 3:No, he keeps them. Nope, I was wearing them yesterday actually.
Speaker 1:That's perfect, I got you two new pairs for when I see you in September. I got you two pairs Read up, man. One of them says Only Dads on it, oh, man.
Speaker 3:I think I've seen those on TikTok.

Speaker 1:There you go.
Speaker 2:And Chris's gray sweatpants.
Speaker 1:We'll only dads. Yeah, there you go, and chris's gray sweatpants we'll be in business boys. For those of you that don't know, chris uh rolled up to uh polar bear camp club in gray sweatpants and he was just, he was just letting it all hang out, you know, and we were all just so impressed that we couldn't, we couldn't leave it unnoticed, that's right, that's right yeah yeah comfy pants, yeah, comfy pants, um quotations behind speaking of trips and chris's misfortune.
Speaker 2:That was terrible. Comfy pants Quotations behind that one.
Speaker 1:Speaking of trips and Chris's misfortune, we're not going to hop into Chris's misfortune. I got some type of lollipop for you, johnny. That's like the hottest lollipop. It looks like a thumb. It looks like a thumb but it's like a sucker.
Speaker 3:It's like a chilly sucker and it looks like it's right up his alley.
Speaker 1:I am psyched to see what this all turns out to be.
Speaker 2:Does it? Does it have a scorpion in the center?
Speaker 1:that's all I need to know it could, it might, I mean, I don't remember. I got it at like, uh, I got it down in the ozarks at like a, uh like an ozark land type place it looks pretty sketch, so I thought it was right up your alley.
Speaker 2:It looks sketch, dude, to try it for sure I mean it was like my first date with alley. We actually went and got suckers that have like those ants inside of it. Oh, no bro that's see, and those things are hot, bro, like if you get the hot ones, they are not lying about hot bro. If you get the hot ones, they are not lying about hot.
Speaker 1:What Hot ants. I never heard of it.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure they get fire ants and they dip them in Tabasco and then they soak it in Carolina Reaper sauce and then they throw it in the candy. Bro, yeah, it's bad, that's a whole other level of hot that I don't even want to experience ever again in my life. How many Scoville-ish Cholula? Yeah, that's where I'm at at this point.
Speaker 3:That's my limit.
Speaker 4:Yeah, after that death, nectar that Johnny got me with, oh yeah, the death nectar. How many Scoville-ish Cholula A?
Speaker 1:thousand. What's death nectar 120,000. What's?
Speaker 2:death nectar 120,000. Yeah, in case y'all don't know, Johnny is the king of hot sauce. So if you camp with Johnny, be careful for asking for hot sauce. Don't ever take any food he offers you.
Speaker 1:He'll also spike a section of food that he's not eating.
Speaker 3:Act like it's not hot and give you the side.
Speaker 1:he doesn't have any idea what he did to it or just spiked the very next bite of a food that he is eating, like a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos that the next bite happened to have a bunch of Devil's Rectum sauce on it. He just randomly spiked it and you grabbed that chip. That's totally happenstance, but it was ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, Charlie, you would be proud of old june bugs last night, uh, the other night he. So we made cheeseburgers, and we made homemade cheeseburgers, right. And I was like all right, bud, so he eats a cheeseburger. And he, he was sad when he got done. I was like what's up? And he was like I wanted a big mac. And I was like what the hell is a big mac? And he, you know like we're not at mcdonald's. But he was like no, I want a Big Mac. And I was like, okay, we'll make you a Big Mac. So he gets two burgers. Slams this thing. This thing is so big he can barely fit his mouth around. It. Smashes that one too. And I was like man, if Charlie could see you now, bro.
Speaker 1:Be proud of him. Yeah, you would be. I like it. I think that's coming. He's coming to rito, right, so we'll be in rito. Guys, if you guys care to listen or watch us right now, all five of us will be at rito, and we're gonna have all four kids and two dogs. Man, we're gonna and chris, you have your kids too, right yep yep so it'll be kids and wives and everything.
Speaker 2:But hopefully we can split apart like we are currently I'm local in the st louis area and I work at a toy Toyota dealership out here locally and, if you all know me, cool. But I've invited a couple of people that I've seen come across the drive that never heard of Rideau, so we might have some additional newbies coming along. So that would be cool to get some more people from the community to come.
Speaker 1:I'll be bringing my screen mask and seeing if they have what it takes.
Speaker 2:A little close to home right now. All right, calm down, we all know sarah huckabee ain't playing around. She ain't playing around so that's awesome we'll all be at rito.
Speaker 1:What everybody is coming to rito correct. That's the plan right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I even invited my sister. She's probably going to come too I don't know.
Speaker 1:I mean I invited, I mean I talked to you guys. That's who I've invited. Yeah, exactly, I invite anybody else.
Speaker 2:It's more like we called you to find out if you were coming or you're camping somewhere else. I mean, this dude goes on like 975 camping trips a year.
Speaker 1:One of my friends, wes, is going to utah and he wanted me to go. He asked if I wanted to go to Utah and I was like, no, I'm going to Rideau for the party.
Speaker 2:We're going to be leaving probably Wednesday night, bro. We're going to get there super late Wednesday and then Thursday, probably chill. I'd like to trail run Friday, at least.
Speaker 1:I'm going Monday. What's your schedule? Look like Johnny. I have no idea to be honest, you don't know.

Speaker 2:It's not even that cool. You know 100%.
Speaker 1:But Tristan's coming too, isn't he I? Think so yeah, yeah, I thought so too.
Speaker 2:I thought so too. I thought so too the first time that uh, johnny and I off-road together. I almost, uh I almost ended off the the trail. Do you remember that when we went over to frog bayou?
Speaker 3:it was still snow on the ground.
Speaker 2:We were trying to go around these daggum trees that were laid out in the trail because, like johnny's, like oh, it's like a two-hour trail ride, I was like dope, yeah, we'll go.
Speaker 3:And is'm the one when the guy, like, fluttered his engine.
Speaker 2:Yeah bro, johnny, johnny, oh man, johnny went through a tire go, two tires, two tires. On that trip. We had to, we had to, uh, put road plugs, like six road plugs, in one of his tires, just to get back on the trail it was a bad bad day we're talking about carrying spares and I'm like dude.
Speaker 1:I think one of johnny's tires had like eight plugs in it for like a thousand miles, but you know what?
Speaker 2:we. Not only did we get him out of frog bayou, but he drove 75 miles an hour on the way home it still made it to p. Of course it is like I mean, come on, bro, like how could you, how could you? You know, and I think they were just like amazon plugs too, mine were, like mine were so bad, like charlie, I had to heat them up just to get them sticky again. You know what I mean. Like it was bad, bro, like mine had been out of the package for a minute, but it still worked.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know, you just got to have that stuff with you, you know we're totally gonna flip the tundra come on, bro.
Speaker 1:Are you gonna put the rooftop 10 on the tundra?

Speaker 3:A video call with Johnny he, him and the rest of the guys in the group all had their shirts off, so I was surprised to see.

Speaker 2:do you think about that?

Speaker 2:the build is done bro, that picture that you took on instagram the other day, it's like all opened up. You're like doing their pre-trip checkouts. I love it, bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so nice you're ready to get a new jet myself? It's weird, just me and cory were talking about that. Like I'm ready for that. I don't know what, though chris has one. Yeah, chris does have one. Yeah, I'd have to paint the top though yeah chris has that gangster chris's. Chris's tent is a little bit of like a uh, almost like a relic kind of at this point a memory popped up on Ty's Facebook of Chris doing the one-wheel lean.
Speaker 2:Oh nice.
Speaker 1:It was that time where you guys went and you slid down that hill and rear-ended Tyson. It was that trail. It's what it was, wasn't it? Isn't that what it was, Tyson?
Speaker 3:Could have been a different time.
Speaker 2:This was the one that was like Johnny and I, we decided to go on it and, yeah, Chris was not right behind us and we went one way and Chris decided to go another man.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're talking about the one with his Tacoma. Oh yeah, we're at the bottom of the that, the one with his Tacoma.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, that one At the bottom of the hill in the middle of a snowstorm.
Speaker 2:It's just a vice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was that one. That was a different one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought it was the Tacoma where you rear-ended him and it messed up the balance on the Tacoma when you had the Tacoma.
Speaker 2:I remember when I first moved to Arkansas, man and Chris and I went out there and I still had the the Camry boy. You remember that first time he took me down, uh, in the Ozarks, I was like that's it. I sold the Camry and got a 4Runner man what were you?
Speaker 1:did you have the? What'd you have, then, the Xterra? No, he had a.
Speaker 2:He had the Taco well, when I moved out there, I had the Xterra, yeah yeah, when he first moved he had the Xterra and the side by side and I had the, I had a jeep and then I traded the jeep in for a camry because I was living in texas at the time and driving 45 minutes to work every day. It just it wasn't fuel efficient. You know, jeeps are loud, it's just it wasn't great. So I got the camry and moved out to northwest arkansas and I'm like man, the Camry is not the sauce here. I got to have an SUV or a truck and pulled the trigger on the 4Runner Chris, before that pulled the trigger on the Tacoma.
Speaker 1:I think you guys have three years of 4Runners. Corey's is a 20. Yours is a 21, Tyson and yours is a 22, Johnny.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:And then you have a 25. Chris, yours is a 25.
Speaker 2:I had a 23 4Runner so yeah, you had it all you had all the years covered there. You've had all three vehicles at Toyota, yeah, and the thing is is the Lime Rush was like I don't know. That was the sauce, bro, like I would have never let it go.
Speaker 3:I can't believe Johnny found it. He found it in Fort Smith.
Speaker 1:You did smith, you did, somebody bought it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, oh really for smith.
Speaker 1:That's wild I mean, he got a five thousand dollar bumper.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean bumper looked like it was holding on pretty dang good yeah, was it black or was it brown? It's surprising it was sun faded gray nice, that's sick, that's high quality from uh black.
Speaker 2:Some might say real mad there, buddy gravel mat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the gravel mat black speaking of bumpers, though, johnny's got him a winch finally.
Speaker 2:Guys, that's something to celebrate he's used my winch he's yeah, yeah, he's used everybody's winch, he's got his own now hey, you know who still doesn't have a winch and paid $3,000 to get winched out.
Speaker 1:You? Yes, exactly, you're the reason I have a winch, yeah, the whole reason I have one, because I was like $2,500, too, that's a no from me dog. Bro, when they hit me with, then you know what's crazy is. They were just such a small like group. You know what I mean it took.
Speaker 2:Tell that story.
Speaker 1:So for the sake, just for the tell that story. Cory, have you ever heard this story? I don't know if cory has or not.
Speaker 2:No, all this story, all right so my cousin my cousin came to visit in town. So I was like all right, I'm gonna take you up to willem ford, we're gonna camp for a night, we're gonna cross the buffalo, we going to do the whole nine yards, right? So we decided to leave right after work. I mean, it's two and a half hour drive. I was all packed up, ready to go. So we were down there probably about 10 o'clock.
Speaker 2:Well, when we got to basically the Buffalo river, there was no longer any trail. Even though that Gaia showed this was the trail or this was the road that we were supposed to be on, it literally stopped at the Buffalo river. So I was like, okay, well, maybe I'm supposed to cross the Buffalo river. So that's what I did. So I crossed the Buffalo river and Gaia like literally shows this as a, as a off-road trail. It is legal, everything. Like I use Gaia when I'm out there and, uh, we get to the end and like there's just it's overgrown. So it's either like it was just no longer in use or whatever the case may be Maybe the map wasn't updated, have no idea.
Speaker 2:So I decided I'm like I'm probably 300 feet away from woolen ford, where I'm at. So I'm like, well, I'm just gonna ride the bank, because you know, most of the time you can ride the bank and everything's good. Well, the bank starts getting shorter and shorter, and shorter and shorter and we kind of start getting pushed more to the river, pushed more to the river. Well, I get to this point and all of a sudden the forerunner just sinks instantly to the frame, to. I mean it is bad, I mean it's, it's like it's the worst that I've ever been stuck before in my life out there and I'm like, by myself, I've got my wife, I've got, uh, my cousin, myself and my daughter, and we're all just chilling in the truck.
Speaker 2:At this point and I'm like, well, that sucked. So I go to back it up and I back it up and it just, it just you feel the rear end just sucking in the pea gravel Cause it's just, it's quicksand. At this point I'm like, all right, cool, this is a forerunner, it's a TRD off-road. Like we got this. I'm gonna put it in crawl mode. This bitch is gonna get out. Like don't worry about it. You know what I mean. Put it in crawl mode. This thing just starts burying itself, burying itself. So I'm like, all right, this is really turning out to be a bad deal. So I get out of the truck and by this time it is sank so far that when I open the door it's scraping the p gravel across the the bank. That's how low the forerunner is. I mean it's it's, it's sunk. So I go and I grab like my little it was just a tiny little like almost like a gardener shovel sized shovel right and I just started trying to dig the frame out, bro.
Speaker 2:I'm just like I'm grabbing anything I can just to try to get some space between the truck and the gravel. And I look down and like the transfer case, the transmission, everything is sunk and peak gravel. You can't even see it, bro, like you just can't see it. So I'm like this is not a good sign at all. So I start doing like you know what anybody probably would have done I grabbed the chainsaw and I go out and I grabbed some some pretty good size logs and I grabbed some toe straps and I strap them around the tires just to kind of try to dig out the the the front and the rear tires and I put them on all four. I got this thing and it's just like it's just digging it even worse, like at this point the wheels are free spinning and the logs are going around the tires. It's just, the wheels are free spinning and the logs are going around the tires. It's just, it's a mess. I'm like, oh man, this is rough.
Speaker 2:My cousin's pissed. I mean, he's easy, he's a Yankee, so he don't know what it's like to be out there in the woods Sometimes. I mean, I think he's been a concrete kid too long. So he's mad. He's like I'm gonna start walking. So he starts walking. He finally gets signal, so he he calls the forestry service and they were like here's a number to a 24-hour tow truck. Oh boy, yeah. So listen to this crap, we ain't got no service like you can say shit, yeah, listen to this shit we're so deep in post.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you wouldn't be able to hear any of the story if that was true. You know what I mean. Like uh, but anyways, so we get, we get all the way. You know, he he walks long enough that he can get cell service. He calls the tow truck company, he sends the tow truck company out. Oh shit, I mean okay, I guess I'm like I'm still over here trying to dig it out, I'm still trying to do my thing. You know what I mean. It's just not happening. It takes so this guy named squirrel that's his name- squirrel.
Speaker 4:I think I know this guy does, he drive just can't let it go, just let it go.
Speaker 1:Just let it go, cory, just let it go, johnny.
Speaker 4:Yeah if it's the same guy I'm thinking of no way just just let tyson talk. Just let tyson talk, which, by the way, I mean squirrels.
Speaker 2:He's all right, yeah, whatever he's a phenomenal dude, like, trust me, like this dude was went over and beyond that night. Okay, so check this out. So, oh, squirrel calls us and we're like, he's like where are you guys? Mind you, I'm not on a mark trail at this point, I'm not. I'm on the side of the buffalo river at this point, where I probably shouldn't be, and you know, heaven forbid if matt's listening. God blessed america. Connelladventures. Feel free to email me, you know what I mean, but anyway, so I, I literally he, he's like where you at? I can't find you. So I'm like I'm trying to give this dude directions and, mind you, we don't have cell service. So my cousin's like walking like a half mile to phone call this dude.
Speaker 2:It's like two o'clock in the morning at this point. We've been waiting for old squirrel to show up and I finally this is how I'm laying on my horn and he's trying to listen to where we are. That's how bad it is, okay, and finally get them into radio signal. And we're talking on the radio and we finally get them down there. So I meet him at the, at where I entered into said area, and uh, I tell him I'm like, hey, man, it's super soft over there. You know I almost got stuck. You're in a tow truck. I mean, this thing is like a, a single cab, dually lifted, big old tires, and it's got a huge rig on the back like I'm like this thing is yeah, you're good.
Speaker 2:I'm like, this thing is stupid heavy, do not go there, you're gonna sink it. Sure enough, he goes in there, bro, sinks it. I mean, you don't even get two inches into it. I'm like, bro, I told you not to drive there like you did it anyways, okay, cool.
Speaker 2:So he hooks up his, his you know winch, essentially the toe, it tows himself out and he gets around, he gets down to where I'm at so he decides to hook this thing up to my truck from probably about a good 150 feet from where and he's pulling on it and the forerunner ain't going. She just ain't moving, she's deep, she is done like cooked. So all the squirrel gets on the phone with backup and they send out a toyota tacoma, a tractor and another tow truck lifted off road tow truck. So the tractor is literally building a road to get the tow trucks down to my location.
Speaker 2:Okay, so the old craft, I wonder you're so good at that game I'm great at it, trust me, I've lived it and so they. They hook up the. So the only thing you can see at this point is my is my hitch, so they hook it up to the hitch. Snaps the snaps a little hood safety hook right off of it, just clean off, didn't even try, which is now a step by the way, which is now a step that I use.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, uh, you know, all modifications come when we least expect it. It's okay. So they go and they get the tractor down there. They put the tractor bucket on where my hitch is and they wrapped it around and they pulled it up and they were able to pull up the rear end, and then the guys all shoveled the rock back underneath the truck and set it down and then they finally were able to pull the truck out. But, dude, it was bad, it was terrible. So we get to the top of the road and he goes hey, I'm going to need your driver's license and a credit card. And I'm like, well, I don't have my wallet with me. He's like, well, give me your insurance, I'll claim it on insurance. You know, whatever, we'll see what we can do. And yeah, and you know, two weeks later I get a phone call and it was three grand. I was like perfect wow.
Speaker 1:So cory just did the same thing almost literally like a weekend ago you guys would be proud, I actually got stuck oh really really I didn't know that?
Speaker 4:Not quite to that extent. But yeah, I was trying to go to a gravel bar island and it didn't work out. It was a little bit softer than I thought it was. I had a rear locker on and just dug a hole but I got right out. I mean, I got pulled out pretty quick, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, even if I had a winch, let's be honest, like even if I had a winch, there was nowhere in sight for me to be able to winch, like I would have to have like a probably a 50 foot anchor to be able to winch on another on the off the tractor yeah, but you understand when I was by myself. There was nothing to winch, I get so even if I had a winch. It would have saved what did the forest service go out there with nothing. They, they, they called they told me to call.
Speaker 2:No, they told me to call the company. They they ain't playing that game. They know they've been down that road. They were like yeah, we ain't. No, we're here's the number you know. So c.
Speaker 1:Corey just did something similar. Yeah, he got stuck. Corey had to change a CV. Seal Corey's hardcore.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I pulled a CV for the first time.
Speaker 2:Which is surprising because that's pretty common on 4Runners and Tacomas the CV's just snapping. I've never broke one. Didn't you just replace one, johnny tie rods I knew you did tie rods.
Speaker 4:I thought you did a cv too you still haven't done a cv, still not me either I.
Speaker 2:I'm waiting that well I hope it's not september both of y'all better go buy some axles right now. You know, if you need the hookup, just let me know I I don't mean I did, I did learn that you, you know.
Speaker 4:Uh, I need a 35 mil socket, something I should probably be rolling around with yeah, a thousand percent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you guys hear that jet right now no, oh yeah, I do now I they cook in russia when did we go shirtless? I threw him a couple dollars on cash app. Oh nice there you go you like that tyson, you like that, I do they got the pink ladies boy.
Speaker 2:That's awesome. But yeah, I mean it's just like you know, listen, learn, you know, just stay to the point trails. You know what I mean. Like don't try to make your own stuff but I mean you just did pretty much.
Speaker 1:I mean it could have ended up similarly had you been alone, cory, probably uh, yeah, I had nothing to winch off of like I had to have someone yank me backwards I mean chris has saved me out of a couple of holes before. I mean you know well, and now johnny has a winch, so we wouldn't have to flip over chris's forerunner with his whole family in it.
Speaker 2:I even called chris. He was out of town. He was like, yeah, I'm in texas right now.
Speaker 4:It was like a convenient I think in my situation, I mean it would be a big maybe, but perhaps max tracks would have got me out of there, but I don't know bro, I used the max tracks.
Speaker 2:I threw them out literally the next day I'm like they're worthless.
Speaker 1:I will never use them the breaks here real quick, though to talk about how they're not real max tracks. Okay, you had. Like that's true, I had like, but still don't buy the cheap tracks.
Speaker 2:I don't even think max tracks would have got me out.
Speaker 1:I carried those max tracks in my Prius all winter and those max tracks got me out more times than you will believe in that Prius maybe that was my problem.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's because I wasn't in a Prius.
Speaker 1:Maybe, if I was in a Prius, I would have been okay. Prius wouldn't have gotten stuck exactly. I used my winch to turn my prius around in my driveway so I could leave one day. Wow, I just spun it around in the driveway because I couldn't get out. That's hilarious. Prius lived some life, dude.
Speaker 2:That's why I don't have the prius anymore yeah, but you told I mean you like got rid of the prius and you got the Subie now.
Speaker 1:So you're back to the Subie.
Speaker 2:I mean, that was Way better. It's like, literally, you went into a cycle bro.
Speaker 1:I did. It was a full circle moment for me. It was a full circle moment for you, for sure.
Speaker 3:I haven't seen the Subaru yet. Has anyone seen it yet? Tyson's seen it. Oh, Tyson Okay. He came to get those tires like he got those kendas, dude, those kendas.
Speaker 2:That's awesome, they're nice. They're definitely a lot louder than the wild peaks, but boys the choppers like mr.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, bro, we chopping down the road they're real hard.
Speaker 1:Well, johnny, I mean, you have them now too, and you're on your second. Well, we don't even need to get into that, I don't want to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we don't want to even talk about that but you're on your.
Speaker 1:But like are they way harder compound lugs oh, a thousand percent on the kindest. That's what I see my mickey thompson's are. Are I mean? I feel like they're pretty hard okay, Okay.
Speaker 2:So I was running 36 PSI in these and I just bumped them up to 40 for this road trip and they actually got quieter at 40 PSI. So I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I ran them at 40 as well. I don't understand it.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's just not allowing as much vibrations, because that's all the noise is is harmonic.
Speaker 1:So Johnny has 35s, like like skinny 35s, hi, ally, johnny has skinny 35s are you running like a 35, 11 and a half? 10 and a half right did you have to cut any more. For those like how much more did you cut? Like how much more did you cut?
Speaker 1:it looks so good it looks so good, I cut mine all the way, like I've cut mine back and beat it with a sledgehammer and this last trip I went on. It's like rubbed all the like, so all the pinch welds, I like cut them and folded them back. I've like rubbed them bare metal with the tire. So I'm gonna I don't know what I'm gonna do now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know it's a lot of work for you, johnny. You could, you could, you could add uh, you're not running spacers yet, are you? But he's got negative 10 offset though you got negative 10 offset, but it's not is it the inside, that's rubbing yeah, so it's the outside, like I'd have to show you I wonder if there's enough camber adjustment that you could just move that or move it forward.
Speaker 1:I keep trying to get somebody to move it forward I keep trying yeah, caster, I keep trying to get somebody to move mine forward.
Speaker 2:Nobody will do it anymore yeah, I mean because caster can cause a pull, but caster is a non-tireable tire, wearable degree angle. But the issue is, if you have too much caster it'll be like a shopping cart. Or if you have too much negative caster, positive caster shouldn't matter. If you have too much negative caster it'll kind of like put the weight where it's behind it. And you've ever seen that shopping cart that starts just bouncing the wheel? That's typically because that's because it has negative caster, it's just so. That's where, like quote unquote, the death wobble came from.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm, I need mine to be forward.
Speaker 2:I would like mine to be forward, and I mean I bet you, I mean you, just you need to go to like a non-restricted shop. I mean for you.
Speaker 4:Johnny Johnny's still here.
Speaker 2:Johnny's gone.
Speaker 4:I think he's gone.
Speaker 3:This shirt came off and he was out of here. He's back.
Speaker 2:There he is, the sauce. What happened? I like how he's got the gold chain on and everything too the hamburger meat all hanging out. You know, look at all the GQ and shit Sipping on the gentleman's drink. There you go.
Speaker 1:What are you drinking, Johnny?
Speaker 2:Johnny Walker.
Speaker 1:Dude, what was that Woodford Reserve? Oh nice, I got Crown Apple straight. I'm drinking Smear-Noth Ice. What are you drinking, Chris Water?
Speaker 3:I'm drinking Pepsi Zero. Oh, there you go.
Speaker 1:We were talking about that weight loss earlier.
Speaker 3:That Pepsi Zero Right on brand.
Speaker 1:Exactly right.
Speaker 2:Not sponsored sponsored, but if you want to, goes great with my crown.
Speaker 3:Pepsi sponsor would be sick that's funny, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1:But I wondered. I was like I wonder if you cut a bunch, because I cut mine back. So far too, johnny, and it's's still. I mean, I'm still rubbing, not in the back, though, like naturally. I know you're rubbing in, well, maybe you are, but I'm rubbing in the front. I'm rubbing in the front and I'm like that C4 thing.
Speaker 2:Have you done the Viper? Well you're, so you have a bumper. So is it touching the bumper, or is it?
Speaker 4:all the time, or just full lock, or what it does.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I'm not like.
Speaker 2:I'm not like that I wonder if they won't move your caster because it's gonna affect camber. I'm just trying to think of how that's set up where jonathan.
Speaker 1:So jonathan hines just said it's a tender, but I pushed my caster plus 7.2 degrees for clearance, um and and I agree. So I agree with him. But I can't get an alignment shop out here to do that alignment on my truck. Nobody will. Nobody will do that off-road alignment on my truck.
Speaker 2:So I'm that would make the world of difference on mine yeah, I mean, and and that could be true like you have, you have upper control arm like replacement upper, yeah, so you're not factory anymore either, so you should have, so does johnny, you should have more play with that.
Speaker 1:It sounds like whoever you're taking to for an alignment just nobody wants to align outside of factory specs out here, like I can't find you're no longer factory.
Speaker 2:They need to get that out of their head with you, man you're no longer factory, bro, like okay so what?
Speaker 3:lift are you? Running what jason guy I can't remember his full name. He has that, that um, I think it's like ozark outfitters or something like that. Oh, um, jason harris down in West.
Speaker 4:Plains.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:That dude knows his stuff man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he does a lot of suspension stuff he might do. It might be super far away, I don't know. Yeah, he's over West Plains. Yeah, jonathan has a good point.
Speaker 2:That's what I was about to tell you, Charlie. Look up your lift and it'll have alignment specs in it. I mean, if you want to adjust the caster, just change the caster I'll just tell them to move the caster forward. Three, the reason why that these guys at the shop want to just stick to factory is because when they scan the vehicle, all that the machine will give them is factory specs.
Speaker 1:I mean, I get it so, unless you have specs to give them.
Speaker 2:The tech does not know anything other than the factory spec.
Speaker 1:I need to get tech in.
Speaker 2:I mean well, I mean I get it. I mean I mean the, but the the the, the, the old school text that used to just line them up with the strings, like that's a dang breed, like it's no longer in existence. And if they?
Speaker 1:are. They're dinosaurs. So I 3D printed. So I have the El Camino and it's old and it has shims. You 3D printed shims, get them. I didn't 3D print the shims, but I 3D printed the tool so that I can align it, because nobody could align the el camino that's so crazy, we don't even know what's going on here. I'm like dude, it is like a and you blow your mind.
Speaker 2:You can literally the the hunter machines that we use nowadays in the automotive industry. You can literally click on it and it'll tell you how to insert the shims.
Speaker 1:So what I'm hearing is you want to align my truck, I mean, bring it down.
Speaker 2:I'll take care of you. I'm only like seven hours away from you.
Speaker 1:From me. You're two hours away. Two hours, how far was it is?
Speaker 2:It was like two and a half.
Speaker 1:And that's why I continue to deal with the rubbing, because I have lifetime alignments at Plaza.
Speaker 2:Well, okay. So then you just need to know somebody from Plaza that is legit. I've got a guy that I work for that used to work at a Plaza. Let me talk to him and see what.
Speaker 1:Dude, if you got a guy that will align my truck, I'll drive. I mean, it's not that far, a thousand percent.
Speaker 2:A thousand percent. If you bring it to Toyota, I'll get it taken care of.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if, yeah, if you can get a guy to just move it forward three or four degrees it would be fine. I mean, seven degrees is pretty aggressive and I could do seven degrees on my upper control arms, but I think I could get by with three.
Speaker 2:I didn't get permission to drop their name, so I'm just saying that I work for a Toyota locally in Missouri, Anyways, but beside the fact, they are all about lifting trucks and doing everything that I want to do, so like, if you want to bring it down seriously, I will take care of it. Anybody on the podcast?
Speaker 1:want to reach out. Come on with it, I'll bring it. I mean, if you got a guy, that'll do it. I'll bring it A thousand percent, I mean yeah, I'll bring it up there because I can't get them. I gave them the specs at Plaza and they were like we'll only do factory specs. And I was like well, my tires are going to get sliced yeah pretty much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's coming up pretty soon here, you know. I mean we'll also give you options, like if it needs a camber caster kit, where we can adjust more caster For one quick second.
Speaker 2:While jason's still on here, I want to let him know how jealous I am that he got a go fast camper or jonathan, we're talking about jonathan we're talking about jason earlier.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, no, I'm so jealous. You got a gfc boy golly tundra he's got tundra with the gfc oh, chris, calm down, calm down ch Calm down, Chris.
Speaker 2:Hold up.
Speaker 1:Pump the brakes, guys. He's got the good Tundra, not the one you have, chris. He has a good one. He has a good one With the 5.7, and it's got a GFC and it's so sick dude Chris, why did you go with the Capstone Tundra?
Speaker 2:I'm just curious.
Speaker 3:I didn't go with the capstone.
Speaker 1:It's a limited bro. It's a limited bro got all that gucci features.
Speaker 2:Bro, he's got the leather seats the massaging headrests.
Speaker 1:It sounds like batman's leaving with that parking break. Newton, not heinz, oh sorry. He has the at atlas. They're all cooler than me. I mean, I got they're all cooler than me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there you got, they're all cooler than me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there you go. I don't have anything cool I'm sorry, I couldn't even see who it was.
Speaker 2:Shoot you don't got nothing cool.
Speaker 1:I definitely got nothing cool, let's just you know, like we let's talk about tyson's vehicle and how nothing on tyson's truck is straight factual information there.
Speaker 2:You know, I take the decals off of it. Yet no, sir, I'm rocking them air's totally coming off that rito. Well, the landers the landers is definitely coming off. I got uh, I got my dealership that's going to give me new ones, so just waiting for them to come look, I've got the claim already set up look listen, listen, listen, listen listen listen, listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 4:You needed a windshield.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:I got a guy in Springfield 250 bucks. It's probably stolen but, I have a.
Speaker 2:That's why I need a new windshield, Corey.
Speaker 4:I don't ask questions, man. I put two windshields in the 4Runner.
Speaker 2:Dude, I have a zero0 deductible on windshields.
Speaker 4:Oh, never mind.
Speaker 1:Wasn't it you that broke your windshield? No, it was Tyson that broke his windshield at that poker run.
Speaker 3:Yeah all of us did Me, tyson and Johnny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thanks to Big Iron Poker Run, pbc, it's those Kansas dirt, kansas dirt roads. It is. Yeah, kansas has got some rocks, man, and they, they, they're about that. Chris kyle, fuck around, find out. We did, we all did. Still doesn't beat the jeep, bro. I put 10 windshields in the jeep they're straight up and down.
Speaker 1:I mean it's just inevitable.
Speaker 2:If you have a jeep, you might as well have six spare windshields.
Speaker 1:Just my last tacoma, my 15 tacoma. I put two windshields in, and this one's got a bunch of chips in it and it's still not cracked yet. Well, that's what it started.
Speaker 2:It's mine and uh and yeah, man, it one cold morning it it started growing and I was like man that sucks and it wasn't really bothering me and the next thing, you know, it literally went across the whole windshield in a day. Man in a day. I was driving home from work the other day and this other vehicle kicked one up and put a big old chip right by my eye, man, and I pulled the trigger.
Speaker 1:I'm like I need to do it now see, chris, you don't have any of these problems because your truck's so pedestrian we gotta get it out. So pedestrian, you gotta quit being regular traffic we gotta get you out yeah, no like three days a week. I mean it's good have you put tires on it yet? No, no, I haven't put anything on it you want. The one thing I've done is a ton of cover, and that's it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Ty's been sending me pictures of tires and wheels every week, every lifted Tundra that comes in.
Speaker 2:I'm like man that looks good.
Speaker 1:Johnny's on 35s and you're still on stocks.
Speaker 2:I know that's crazy.
Speaker 3:I see it like every other week whenever we go to our ham meeting. Pulls up on his 35s and I'm like gosh, it looks so good.
Speaker 2:Johnny, I'm going 37s on factory suspension. Bro, I'm just going to go real wide.
Speaker 1:It's going to be a wide we were talking about going steel wheels the other day, dude, I've been thinking about that.
Speaker 2:RC sells them $79 a wheel for the. Toyota With a negative offset yeah, oh yeah, they're negative offset. What's the negative offset on these here, jamie, look that up for us, hold on me and corey are both like wait a second, wait a second.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I I would be interested in steel wheels, just because mine are all bent now anyways. That gravel did a number on my freaking methods man Are yours, bent Johnny, did you ever find out?
Speaker 2:When I took it in the guy said there was a hiccup on the wheel.
Speaker 3:What does that mean?
Speaker 2:I have no idea that sounds like a discount tire.
Speaker 1:It sounds like a peerage to me, did you?
Speaker 4:try to scare it out.
Speaker 2:Hold your breath and drink water. Did you just eat some peanut?
Speaker 1:butter. So one of them is bent. You think, yeah, I got three of mine are bent. They got them weighted. Though, boy, they got some weights on them, them. My truck will not float now, for sure all right.
Speaker 2:So you want to, you want to know uh yeah, what are the specs? Negative 17 inch negative 12 negative 12 offset I could do that.
Speaker 1:How much are they?
Speaker 2:uh, so the regular black with the negative 12 is 99.95.
Speaker 1:If you want, the simulated bead lock is 170 I don't want fake bead lock, no, I want just regular 17 by 9, 6 by 5.5, 4.25 bore negative 12 offset it's 99.95 that's cheap.
Speaker 4:I think yeah that's.
Speaker 1:I'm interested in that because if I'm gonna bend them, I can at least replace it for a bill, you know I mean the, but with the steel wheel you just get a dog bone and bend it back, like you know.
Speaker 2:I mean like if you talk, dude you can legitimately taco it and take a sledgehammer and put it back enough where you get all there.
Speaker 1:Well, and then you don't have to deal with those. So me and johnny went with cory actually, and johnny had the stick on wheel weights and lost a bunch of them, so you'll have the ones that hook on the lip a thousand percent, yes, which actually, again, none of this is the coolest, but that would be like kind of nice.
Speaker 2:Well, it's because you guys are going to the wrong people to put your tires on, so I don't have that problem I think if you would have went with it, dude, we broke johnny's entire rear drawer system on that trip, but I I see the entire back of the okay, so you, you guys, were also doing like 70 down
Speaker 4:that road I'm like, I'm like I'm blaming I don't. I don't even know where anybody is. I'm like on the radio.
Speaker 1:I've seen you for like a while and then you're like, did you guys go through that mud hole? And I'm like at 95, we got cruise control.
Speaker 2:Set Corey, where the fuck you at?
Speaker 1:it was kind of like that, but at the same time, though, like I don't know, I'm getting to the point to where I've got expensive wheels that are bent. I might as well get cheaper you know, something that's more replaceable potentially.
Speaker 2:I mean, here's the deal At $99 a wheel. If you talk to one who cares, I'd probably buy six.
Speaker 1:Yeah, probably just buy six.
Speaker 4:Carry one in the back.
Speaker 1:Sp six, yeah, probably six in the back spare wheel.
Speaker 2:Spare wheels carry six in a freaking pry bar and I'll be changing them myself, you know, will that fit in the deck? I mean, come on, bro, will it fit in the deck?
Speaker 1:in the deck. Dude, dude, it's fits, it's fitting the rome case, son. What do I need? A deck for single rome case?
Speaker 4:I don't need a devil. You don't have a spare tire, but you got a spare rim out there, pry bar and this thing I saw a fluid like an 18 wheeler.
Speaker 1:I think I'm good. I watched the tutorial on tiktok somewhere in india. You know I do it quick it is what it is.
Speaker 2:You got a static balance, those tires, man just do one wheel weight on the inside.
Speaker 1:It doesn't make any sense to me right now.
Speaker 2:I know because y'all just go to places that don't know what the hell they doing.
Speaker 1:Bro, I think you're under the impression.
Speaker 2:We go places at this point, charlie, why even run wheel weights? You got mud terrains. I mean it's all gonna shake, who cares?
Speaker 1:that's true, that's very true, dead serious, like I don't even. I went in and when I got my new tires and the dude was like how did you not? Yeah, like how was this not a problem? And I was like I mean, I just thought it was fine you need to go to.
Speaker 2:You need to go to a place that does the bags. They literally have weighted bags.
Speaker 1:They throw them in the tires and I will not do bags. No, why?
Speaker 2:it doesn't matter, they're beads, what does it?
Speaker 1:matter in time. Yeah, if your grandpa's grandpa didn't use it.
Speaker 2:I don't want it then you're gonna be out there literally balancing that wheel. I'm on those levels, bro, just trying to get it. You know what I mean. Like it's fine, it's fine we all know how charlie is he's gonna be like, fuck that, just balance, I'll be out there with a hot knife taking treads out.
Speaker 1:I'll be, we're good here. I thought about that I'm with with uh.
Speaker 2:I was. I thought about retreading my uh falcon wild peaks. I'm so attached to those things I still got them in my uh in my basement I'm holding on to them.
Speaker 1:Those are my prized possession johnny, how many you had what you have? Nitto g3s. Isn't that what you had ats? Not that?
Speaker 2:you had, he had, he had the regular. The originals were the nitto terra grapplers, and that's how I met mr johnny because johnny comes into his local dealership and, uh, for an oil change. And I'm like, hey, johnny you need some tires on this fucking thing.
Speaker 2:They're smoked. I think you already had the 3-2 level on there. You were just still rocking the same 265, 70, 17s. He had the factory, so it looked like it looked like she was, you know you know what I mean? Yeah, skipping leg day, and it's totally fine. So I rolled up and I was like, hey, man, you need this set right here. It's a 285, 70, 17. You know what this joker goes?
Speaker 1:he goes 295, 70, 17s he's like I'm just gonna go bigger.
Speaker 2:Yes, so he goes bigger. And he got those, uh, those yokohama mts and uh, yeah, man, they lasted.
Speaker 4:What a year yeah, barely over a year, barely a year a year wow how many miles was that, johnny?
Speaker 2:I mean, you guys drive your runs quite a bit.
Speaker 1:It was like 34,000 miles. Which is good.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't think anything. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1:That's pretty good.
Speaker 2:Mind you. I got like 90,000 miles out of my Falcon Wild Peaks, but you know who's counting they still got 730 seconds of an inch. Chris is rolling the Bridgestone, but you know who's counting and they still got 7, 30 seconds of an inch rolling the bridge, stone, you know. Oh, chris are gonna be smoked at 15k, guaranteed, yeah because he's out there doing standing burnouts he's just driving that thing normal, bro, all highway yeah that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, chris, don't know how to do it do you got air conditioned seats in that thing?
Speaker 1:I do, yeah, we're totally flipping it yeah, I'm taking that out.
Speaker 2:We're taking it out oh man, kim was gonna be able to listen to this podcast, but not. She's like we ain't hanging out with charlie, no more she doesn't need to worry about me.
Speaker 1:She knows I'm the reasonable one.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, yeah, Real reasonable buddy.
Speaker 1:John can be like it's fine, 100% yeah that's when you know you're fucked. And Dice is like I think we're fine and it's like a cliff, and he's like off the cliff, Do we have any recovery gear with us? Nah, we just raw dug in this shit.
Speaker 2:I pulled out my, my, my $15 Harbor freight ratchet straps. We're getting out this bitch. All right, there's a V notch back there. There's a V notch we ain't turning around.
Speaker 1:It's a V notch we just went over. Oh, we can't make that.
Speaker 2:You're going to bet this group off of, like the two hardest obstacles on the trail.
Speaker 4:For what?
Speaker 2:oh my god, escalated or some shit like that, like what you're doing out here in the first place. Man, it was a hummer, that's right, stock bones, cory. He was leading like 15 people and they were all in stock vehicles and I literally just got done scraping everybody up this fucking trail to get them to the top.
Speaker 1:And I'm like so we're at that trail past unit schoolhouse, where we were talking about going and camping. Yeah, dude, yeah, they were coming down it.
Speaker 4:So there's two ways out of there you can go up to ozone or you can go into ozone, which we literally went to ozone we just went up there brian and I went up there like a couple weeks ago because we we were actually we went to go help somebody. They got stuck. It's a long story, but anyway he got stuck in that mud hole right. Was it a silver 4Runner? No, it was not. It was a Tacoma.
Speaker 4:But anyway, that mud hole now has a sign anyway. So just so everyone knows there's a sign that tells you where to go.
Speaker 2:Everybody says stay left.
Speaker 1:Yeah, stay left he wasn't with us when that kid from St Louis that came with us went through it in his Jeep. You remember that, chris? Do you remember that, that kid in the red Jeep that I brought with us with the skulls on his.
Speaker 2:His nickname was Skulls on the trail because he had the skulls on his Jeep. Do you remember him?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, he freaking crushed that thing, dude, it was like up to the windows yep, I was like oh my god so the row that goes out to ozone is a lot better.
Speaker 4:They really great, they graded it, it's. It's so much better.
Speaker 2:So like where, where you kind of think and you take the hard right, and then you had to kind of come up and then go to the left and then, like you got that rock where you're kind of yeah, the left and the right, and the left and the right and the right, the other one which I think goes out to like on, kind of goes towards dover.
Speaker 4:That one's super gnarly. I got on that. And cory, the other cory, I think, in his jeep, I think he, uh, I don't know his his computer. I think it said something like like almost like 30 degrees off camber, it was.
Speaker 2:Okay, so that's where we were at, so that's where they wanted us to turn around.
Speaker 4:No, I had to back down that because I was, yeah, I started up it and I was like I'm not doing this and I backed down it and it was a nightmare.
Speaker 2:True story. I took Chris up this trail and we turned around and back down in the middle of the night because we couldn't find the freaking exit.
Speaker 3:Oh, it was that one. That's what y'all were talking about was that. That was the trill and that was the one that we all yeah.
Speaker 2:So we get up to the top and I'm like following gaia, like you should, right, and all of a sudden the trail turns into like overgrown fucking trees and I'm like literally running trees over and I'm like, dude, there ain't no way that this is going anywhere. So we turned around and we went back down and there was somebody camping at that site. That's where we were trying to camp at. But I'm like, hey, if we continue on, you know, it shows us getting back on the main road. There's some camp spots there. Well, anyways, we couldn't find the freaking main road, so we turned around. It's middle of night. Chris is freaking out. This is back when he had the taco. He barely made it. That's the first time. And I'm like, hey, buddy, we gotta, we gotta turn around and go down this. He's like, are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 1:like no, I'm not kidding we gotta you know when you're like we're gonna take charlie on that trail. Chris is like no man and we did do it we did it and you
Speaker 1:created these fucking gopro that was the first time we did it as a group, do you remember? Do you remember, chris? You don't even know this. Your tire was like flat, it was like rim on the ground. We had it like lifted. So we had it like like these two like caddy corner tires were on the ground and the front one was like on the wheel and tyson's like just gas it.
Speaker 3:It's like I think that was where I messed up my bumper, like I kind of like tore some of the bottom of the bumper.
Speaker 1:You did take a little chunk. You did that. Yes, absolutely and that's when, and it was after that where kim was like everything's too dusty, we're getting rid of this thing. That was that one. That was the one I still had temp tags behind me.
Speaker 3:I still had temp tags on my truck yeah, you still had temp tags, it's funny how it works, because shortly after that incident I got a 4runner and then, shortly after Flygap, I got the Tundra. She was done, she was cooked.
Speaker 2:After Flygap I got the Tundra she was done. She was cooked After Flygap she was done. Did you leave?
Speaker 1:her in the truck the whole time? No, he kicked them all out. Did she see how it was?
Speaker 2:Yes, a thousand percent.
Speaker 1:Oh, you should have left her in it.
Speaker 3:I made them get out. I was like I handed the kids to the window to try, or somebody the safest, place is in the vehicle, bro.
Speaker 2:You gotta keep that in mind. The safest spot is in the car. I was like, oh, I know you was freaking out. Honestly, you probably could have just backed up just a hair.
Speaker 1:It would have just came right on down. You could have probably just sneezed, and it would have been fine.
Speaker 3:It probably would have been fine If I just would have been fine. I mean, it probably would have been fine If I just would have wanted to win drivers a little bit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you zigged when you should have zagged and it was just no.
Speaker 2:So, Charlie, if you come down a hill? Okay, I saw it.
Speaker 1:You guys are letting him probably sit there having an anxiety attack. And Tyson just sending me pictures. Tyson just sending like in real time. I'm like, oh me pictures. Tyson just sending like in real time. I'm like, oh my God, tyson's like sending me like in real time. He's like look at this. I'm like oh my God, dude, you had to be over two foot off the ground on that one side.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure, corey. I don't know if you've seen the picture, bro, but it is not early, it is freaking gnarly bro.
Speaker 4:Chris, we're going to have a fantastic time hanging out at camp.
Speaker 1:I already told him I'm hanging out too. I told him I'm eating Mexican. I'm riding with Tristan we're just hanging out.
Speaker 4:I got new tires. I gotta try it out. Sorry, I'm riding with Tristan, we're just hanging out?
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, I'm not. Yeah, I got new tires. I got to try it out, sorry, yeah you and Johnny can go have a blast.
Speaker 1:I temper Johnny every time I'm with him I'm like we're not doing that one.
Speaker 3:I'm not doing that one.
Speaker 2:Never. I still can't believe that trail bro. It was wild. I got a picture.
Speaker 1:Speaking of that, Johnny, I did go back and do that trail and I did turn around, though I was totally going to flip it, dude.
Speaker 2:I don't have the photo.
Speaker 1:Flip it, so you made it further than last time. I didn't go further than last time. Last time I completed it.
Speaker 3:But it's washed out.
Speaker 1:Way worse now Because remember last summer was so dry. Yeah, it was pretty intense actually. I bet. So Jen was like she's like pretty good, and this time she was like she's gonna freak out a lot, like she was like she's like you know, when you get so sideways that you like look down and you know, if you like stuck your elbow out, that's the ground you know, yeah, she was like not about it, and I just gassed it and it slid a little more and she was like nope, she was like out, she's like done all right, I just I just pulled up instagram and I went to my recents and it's blind spot adventures and my mother.
Speaker 2:So you tell me what content I'd be watching lately? What?
Speaker 1:are you watching? I'll go with your mom, we're watching blind spot together.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Chill the fuck out, all right, but she started.
Speaker 1:And it was so washed. I just drug the front and the rear bumper like up and back until I could get out and it just annihilated the hole underneath of my truck no shot.
Speaker 2:Chris, you don't have the photo of you teeter tottering on your insta feed bro no, he does he doesn't want to remember
Speaker 1:you know what?
Speaker 2:there it is there, it is there, it is it there it is, there it is.
Speaker 3:It's still a little wave.
Speaker 1:Dude, a little wave Dude, it is up there, dude. Oh my god.
Speaker 2:That's when the driver wheel actually went back to the ground.
Speaker 1:Okay, he was, it was wild, so dude mind you, I pulled him out, it's totally unsafe the only one that had a winch on the trail was a side bus oh my god, who's that poor kid that you guys took in that subaru cross track to frog bayou? They took a subaru cross track to frog bay Subaru, and it was just like max track after max track. At one point, I just oh my God, you're like in a river where you're picking up or shoving pieces of his car in his trunk.
Speaker 2:Oh my God it was crazy.
Speaker 3:That was the first and last time he ever went with us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was the first time he's doing great. Tyson's like that was the first time and he sold it all. Now he has a baby. Now he's doing great. Tyson's like that kid doesn't have a single skid plate under that thing anymore. Tyson's like it's all gone, it's all gone, it's all gone. Johnny I just want to let you know that I did get a Subaru Crosstrek down. Frog by you bro, Fuck you down.
Speaker 3:frog by you bro and he was able to drive it home, okay lots of max tracks were used. That day we had to line up all the max tracks.
Speaker 1:You remember that it looked like candy cane crib.
Speaker 2:You know like we should have turned around that minute that I hit that spot where there was like no way we were getting past it. You know what I did? I just cleared a trail bypass right around it, bro oh man, that was.
Speaker 1:I was like, oh, it's a terrible idea I was like oh my god, no, don't do this. And it was stock too. It didn't even have like all terrains on it. I think he had a lift and all terrains on it back then. Dude, there's no way that thing was lifted, dude, it had like four inches of ground clearance. Like, dude, you guys had a better, better off with a crotch rocket, with dirt bike tires like better off, like it was so bad. I was like this is no good, this is no good.
Speaker 2:Shout out to logan rip the subaru buddy he traded in on a motorcycle or something. Anyway, he was out, he's out yeah, he's done that dude was white as a ghost. That's when we got done with that trail, bro. He was out always the case, dude. And then I got lost with cody trying to find johnny one night. I couldn't find the beginning of the trail, so we, we ended up uh, cody and I ended up camping on our own, johnny ended up taking off.
Speaker 1:We just never found each other oh man, johnny came and found me one night and broke his taillights that happened, but that was a good replacement.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's still in his garage, by the way. He's signing it every day that he walks aside of my truck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tyson's like what is that? Like that's the side of my truck I wrecked. They were gonna, they were like, they were like are you want to keep that? And I was like absolutely, I want to.
Speaker 2:Yes, I want to. Yeah, he needs to frame that bitch and put it on the wall in the garage.
Speaker 1:For sure I'm gonna put one of those like baby on board stickers on and put it on the wall in the garage. For sure, I'm going to put one of those like baby on board stickers on it and put it on the wall A little bandaid.
Speaker 2:You know, just a small one.
Speaker 1:So that's the bedside that got the dent when I caught that tree. Corey Corey was there when I caught that tree and it wrapped up in my thing. And I was in there chainsawing it out of the wheel. Well Then, the next time I go out where johnny met me is when I did the trail. That I could, that it was easy. You guys should all. I'm still waiting for everybody to go do it.
Speaker 2:I'm I am not scared. You put me on a trail. I'm not scared. Let's go, johnny said he's dying to try it. I've laid top. I don't care, bring it all on, I don't care, it's right there, dude.
Speaker 1:You guys can just knock it out, dude, it's nothing I'll do it chill down dude.
Speaker 2:Super chill, johnny fucked up his door on that one too, didn't he no?
Speaker 4:I got a trail. I got a pretty sick trail out of glade top for y'all. I'll stay. I'll stay like I'll ride with somebody, but I ain't driving I'm over it. There's a sick little waterfall, you drive up, yeah is that the one that grant?
Speaker 2:and then went on that he they damaged like seven trucks on that trip yeah, I don't that.
Speaker 4:One's pretty bad too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's it yeah watch that arc four by four video of grant going glade top man. They damaged like seven rigs out there that day.
Speaker 1:You did get your door eventually, though, didn't you Johnny?
Speaker 2:That's why Onyx had to wrap it, because it was three different colors. They're like ain't no way this Joker's running around here with three different colors on his forerunner.
Speaker 1:Did you ever even get a daily yet?
Speaker 4:Nah, you're still rolling, just the 4Runner, the 4Runner, that is a daily, that's a daily driver. The 4Runner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a daily driver. It's a freaking advertisement on 35s, Like it's not.
Speaker 4:It is not.
Speaker 1:I was digging I really was digging the Focus. I liked the Focus. The Focus was good, while it left.
Speaker 3:You don't want it anymore, Johnny.
Speaker 1:The Focus died, bro the Focus, didn't you go to see what it would cost to fix it? And it was like three times as much as it was worth. It was like $20,000 almost.
Speaker 3:What the heck, that's a new car yeah that's what I said way too much that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was pretty uh, but man, the focus was legit. That focus carried more stickers than most hardcore people's coolers too many stickers. I love the focus. I was like dude.
Speaker 2:I love the focus I think that we should all just invest in priuses. Let's just have four runners, it is a way it's a way to go.
Speaker 1:Well, I was talking to we were just talking about that the other day, cory about like getting a daily, because it's a lot of wear and tear just driving them I got a.
Speaker 2:I got a buddy that's uh selling Geo Prism for $200. I'm about to cop that Dude.
Speaker 1:You better get on it before we get on it and start a freaking race series out here in my yard. I'm about to get about six of those and we're going to treat them like a go-kart.
Speaker 2:It's going to be that old Geo Prism boy. It's got probably like a half a million miles on it, $200.
Speaker 1:It's got probably like a half million miles on it. $200. $200 per car. I'm about to cop it A Chevy Cavalier. We're going to be racing them like go-karts out here.
Speaker 4:Ford Escort, man Ford Escort Wagon.
Speaker 2:I've got like 15 kids. They're all going to need to learn how to drive on something. Why not a $200 Geo Metro?
Speaker 4:One of those little mini trucks, man, those a $200 Geo Metro. One of those little mini trucks man.
Speaker 2:They got one at BMW out here. I showed pictures to my daughter and I was like this could be your first car.
Speaker 1:She was like you go, get you one of those cheap front-wheel drive cars and we put those, like you know, those plastic storage tub. Did you put those plastic storage tub tops under the rear wheels? And you just go out there and e-brake the living hell out of it.
Speaker 2:Dude, that's the most fun you can have uh truly, if I get this prison before rito, I'm bringing it to rito. I don't give a shit. You bring it to rito, I'm jumping it you know how do you leave rito?
Speaker 1:and it's like that huge hill. I'm jumping it into the woods. I'm 100, I'm bringing a helmet, I I'm jump dude, bring your sworn spray paint, play Dukes of Hazzard.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna put a big old 3 on it before I get there, baby.
Speaker 1:I will be gone with that thing is Rio at. Mulberry again. Yeah, it's at Mulberry again dude, I'm getting kicked out in that Geo Prism. I'm gonna be out there doing e-brake slides everywhere.
Speaker 2:Dude, you can't kill a Geo bro. You just can't kill it. It don't matter you jump it it's gonna start right up and just keep on going.
Speaker 4:I was like I was like deep back on, uh, the high watermark trail it was. It was like during summer, it was like super low yeah so there really wasn't any water. But I was like deep back in there and I'm driving through this creek bed and there's some like locals in. It's like a Nissan Sentra. I'm just like what the how in the hell Did you even get this in?
Speaker 1:here. We were down near Cass and there was this huge mud hole. We were all going, all of us were there and there was that power line down when we were J-ing everybody, and there was that. Toyota E-Curse. Dude was just sitting there, like you know, like we're like what are you doing here, dude? It's the.
Speaker 2:Amazon driver. Get the fuck out of here. What was he?
Speaker 3:doing. He was taking car full of time packages, dude.
Speaker 1:I was like what are you doing? Dude, like and do you remember we almost lost that green Jeep in a mud hole going?
Speaker 2:around.
Speaker 1:What the fuck you mean, it was gone. Oh my God, the amount of time I need to quit being in the back. I'm not being in the back anymore. I'm behind the green Jeep and I thought they were drowning. I'm done being in the back.
Speaker 2:You got to keep putting me in the back, yeah.
Speaker 1:You need to be, I'm done. The only good thing about the back is because Chris is usually second and I like watching. Whatever happens, that's the only good thing.
Speaker 2:Chris just trusts If I make it, he can make it. That's his motto.
Speaker 3:That's the golden rule.
Speaker 2:Every time that we go out, it is his motto in that, hey, it's worked thus far, except for what we did fly gap, bro, because he wasn't following. That's the problem. He wouldn't know what true and factual he would have been fine and he probably would still be driving a lime rush forerunner right now.
Speaker 1:You know, let's just be honest was the rig I I? The tundra is great. I thought the forerunner was. I can't believe you got rid of the forerunner the tundra has more space, for sure.
Speaker 2:I mean, I love my forerunner, don't get me wrong. But you know, a deck would look badass in the back of that tundra and a nice little rack on the top. Man, I'm just saying it would just look good. It'll fit. 35 is pretty easy. It'll fit. 35 is no problem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean we can do 11 and a half by 20s, by, like you know what you want to know is I could bring a freaking above ground pool liner to rito we could make a pool. We could make a pool out of the bed because you know what?
Speaker 2:the bed ain't gonna be used for nothing else. Let's see a hot tub.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2:We could fill it full of jello alright, who's gonna buy a hot water heater like an inside hot water heater, so you can start taking showers and baths.
Speaker 1:I'm not.
Speaker 2:Johnny.
Speaker 1:Never okay air conditioners yeah who's rv had uh had air conditioners for like 12 volt, air conditioners for like 250? Are you serious?
Speaker 2:yeah, I'm still not getting one. No, I'm not getting an at unit, it's not happening like see, I I mean I'm a manly man I will go and shower in a creek or in a in a river, lake or a puddle. At this point you know what I mean. Like let's, let's be honest. I'm at that point in my life it really doesn't have showers.
Speaker 2:There'll be showers there's showers, but like you know, when you're, when you're traveling with family and stuff like that, I mean like there's, there's got to be some creature, creature comforts, like I got a nemo.
Speaker 1:I've got a Nemo shower and it's black and if you just fill it up in the day and set it out, it gets hot.
Speaker 4:I've got one of those and never used it. I've never used it, but I got it. I carry it with me.
Speaker 1:But I've never used it. Corey's got your shower, Tyson.
Speaker 2:Yeah, corey, what do you want for that vlog bro?
Speaker 4:It's brand new Dang. It's like brand new dang the crab strap. What's that?
Speaker 2:strap wait, hold up. I hadn't heard about this. Hold on, we need to know yeah, dude, it goes.
Speaker 4:It goes around the tree, it goes around your waist, so you just lean back and you just lean back and take a dump.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's perfect, guys.
Speaker 2:Do you remember at rito where you guys, you were there, johnny the year where I was cat calling at rito, I was like you could fit three lean back and take a dump.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's perfect, guys. You remember at Rideau, where you guys you were there, johnny, the year where I was cat calling at Rideau, I was like you could fit three people on that toilet. Remember, I bought that toilet. I have that toilet, the one that'll hold like 400 pounds, that metal one that folds out. I bought that toilet. I bought it I was like it's going to be enough for two and they're like it'll hold 600 pounds.
Speaker 2:I was like three.
Speaker 1:I bought that toilet just based off that experience.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:That thing is freaking, that thing is.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's what's cool about Rideau, right, like you just get out there and like even if you don't want to buy nothing, nothing you get at least to see the cool stuff out there. I mean, I can't remember I was talking about the rough country fridges and then we showed up to rito and they had them on display.
Speaker 1:I was like what in the hell? You guys? I'm that overland of america. I just had them on dude. They got like 30k in prizes. That's crazy, three thousand dollars in prizes. They said they're gonna not be able to give them all away on one day because there's too much. They're going to have to give them away over the course of the event.
Speaker 2:So I found out that Toyota has partnered with some people too. We have an X-Wing awning that I'm trying to cop out of my parts department.
Speaker 1:What's an X-Wing awning? What's this about?
Speaker 2:So it's like our normal awnings it just comes out. And when it comes out it has an X, so you don't even have to put poles down. It's legit.
Speaker 4:Prestanding.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it has preset marks, you know, and then when you push it in, it just all rolls back in Do you have an awning anymore, Johnny?
Speaker 1:Do you even have an awning anymore? I mean, I know you have it. Is it on your vehicle? Did Tristan sell his tent? I was texting him about it, but I didn't know.
Speaker 2:Honestly, I've been so much happier sleeping in the back of the 4Runner than I ever was in a rooftop tent, because there's just less of a pain in the dick to set it up and take it down. I don't have a 4unner back to sleep in, so yeah, but I still think that are that you had, and just sleeping in there was like one of the best setups, like I just loved that when you first came out to oh bro, it was like perfect that was the best, I tell everybody, because you just get up like yeah I mean pull your bed all over the place, you just grab it from the other side.
Speaker 1:I mean it is the way to go. I mean yeah. But if you've got a big enough fridge and you've got more than one person, it's not a good setup.
Speaker 2:No, definitely not. I mean, it's not ideal for probably any of us, but here we are.
Speaker 3:Chris, did you keep your fridge? Yeah, I was actually going to say that I think Tristan and I might trade. He's been hitting me up.
Speaker 1:He's wanting to trade me yeah, he's 75 and I'll give him the 55 man, the only reason I wouldn't trade the 75 and sorry, tristan, I'm not trying to like block you here, but like you have that dfg fridge slide that's so freaking nice they don't even make it anymore and your fridge fits on that fridge slide. That's such a nice fridge slide your fridge slide is so nice.
Speaker 1:I mean, I it anymore and your fridge fits on that fridge slide. That's such a nice fridge slide. Dude, your fridge slide is so nice. I mean I'm just saying, dude, your fridge slide is so nice. Ever since I saw that fridge slide I've been like on the waiting list and they don't make it anymore.
Speaker 2:I mean, realistically, with the Tundra, you'd probably want it to be on one that drops down. Honestly, yeah, there goes 700 bucks. I mean it is, it's 700 bucks, but at the end, yeah it is 700 bucks.
Speaker 1:Or you can get one like johnny made with a ratchet strap, but then, but then you got to have the space for the strap. Yeah, like where it. But I mean you could make that, I mean realistically with with chris, though it wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know he's gonna be your fridge size too nice to get rid of that fridge dude.
Speaker 1:If you get rid of that fridge, I want dibs on that fridge side. I think my fridge will freeze on that fridge side I'm still rocking those, those. Uh. By the way, guys, for those of you listening, because I continue to forget, we're even on a podcast anymore but, for the boys at the camp.
Speaker 1:I'm like many beverages, deep now yeah and anyways, so um, I'm rocking those. You're uh, I pestered chris for like uh two years about his roto packs the roto bags and then finally got them and dude. I use them all the time, like all the time they're always full. My neighbors are always like saying something about it and they'll see me take them off and I'm filling up the lawnmower out of the road.
Speaker 2:That's cool, that's good hey at least I can just rotate the gas in it. All right, you're not out on the trail and like you got 70 year old gas in there. You know what I mean. Like I'm rotating, yeah, no.
Speaker 4:I'm surprised you don't got them filled with white monsters.
Speaker 2:Hey, that's the one that's Mark Diesel. Right, I would want to get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1:Corey, the funniest thing that could happen candidly right now is I take my camera and show you my fridge. There is no food in my fridge. It's none.
Speaker 2:Zero food. It's white monsters and pig ladies. Shut the fuck up. And white monsters.
Speaker 1:That's what is in my brain. Johnny, for the longest time and this still may be true I don't think Johnny's seen me drink anything but alcohol and white monster. I think you've only ever seen me drink energy drinks and alcohol. I don't think he's seen me drink anything that's actually hydrating.
Speaker 4:Do you think one of those little pumps would like? Do you think it would gum up with White Monster? Because that'd be hilarious, just have it on tap.
Speaker 2:No, I mean you could purge it with like a little bit of water. You know what I mean. Charlie needs one of those white Rotopax just for White.
Speaker 1:Monster yeah, with a tap dude You're giving him ideas Dude so I could get a little fuel pump and plumb it into like one of those big gallon like you were talking about double wall hydro flask gallons. I could carry a couple gallons of that. I wonder if they sell like a bag in a box, like at a convenience store, like a bag in a box with a white monster.
Speaker 3:Like wine, and then you need like a carbonation machine and just mix it and just pump it out.
Speaker 1:by the way, yeah, yeah, I've been messaging monster and I swear I'm gonna get them to be the presenting sponsor of this podcast hell yeah I'm a little upset. I was like I'm still bugging them so hard. I'm like nobody goes harder on white monster than I do. Like nobody, charlie. I don Charlie a single person.
Speaker 2:I'm up. I'm upset that I left Northwest Arkansas Cause I lost my monster hookup?
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, I didn't, and it's called my job and I paid for it.
Speaker 2:No, it's not even about that. I got the, I got the, I got the monster before it even released, and I gave it to you Before it even released. Boy, it wasn't even out yet.
Speaker 1:Try and get the dog out. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's right here staring at us.
Speaker 2:Everybody's waiting on me for birthday shenanigans. Oh well, maybe we need a dip. Yeah, I mean it's been an hour and a half.
Speaker 1:It's not been long enough, but that's all right it has not.
Speaker 2:I mean, we could always come back and, uh, you know, chapter two, rehash this out on another day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, chapter two, let me know what you guys think on a private uh message, not here, what you guys think about doing this. I don't want to make it on a schedule or anything, but we could do this another time.
Speaker 4:Anyone got starlink. We should do this live from rita I love to do this live she has starlink.

Speaker 2:We just got to make sure we get.
Speaker 1:So just to be clear here, because I am the podcast or whatever, I'm going to have to get some type of like waiver or something, because I'm not editing out what people want me to edit out, like you gotta be okay with just what.
Speaker 2:Get what I put up, because I'm not that good like I think it's appropriate to have a disclaimer at the beginning of the podcast. I mean, I think you did due diligence there, so disclaimer is not the problem I don't care you can shut it off.
Speaker 1:It's the stuff that gets published, that somebody else passes by and says that I'm not going to edit out.
Speaker 2:That's true. I understand that's my bigger issue.
Speaker 1:I don't like. Yeah, if you guys don't like what happened here, well, tough shit, that's what happens. I don't care. I'm more worried about the person I don't know. Yeah, that doesn't like what they stumble into.
