TowndawgR50 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Elbe trail run with my local 4x4 club this weekend. I havent been to the area yet, but I hear its a a tight fit in some spots and full size rigs arent recommended. Let me know if you'd like to join. All makes and models are welcome.

MrJim Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I wish I could. My Pathfinder is down as I wait for better weather to finish some front end work I started. I just bought a sweet 78 F250 4x4 beast that I would really love to get off-road to play with, but like you said Eibe is certainly not full size friendly. I do live that place though.

TowndawgR50 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 No worries, im not taking my R50 but will be riding with other club members. Tahuya is next month i think. Think you'll be ready for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citron Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Elbe is a neat area, my in-laws live near there. I am doing the timing belt on my pathfinder this weekend, so I am out of commission. FYI they have an old steam train there that takes tours towards MT Rainier. They also do a Santa train in December, if you have kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gspeed151 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If I was up and running I would be in , I got a little behind schedule but if there is anything in March I should be pretty close and I would love to go on a maiden run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TowndawgR50 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Elbe was pretty rad. Didnt make it very far before the day turned into repeated recovery practice. One Geo tracker ripped off a front bumper and broke a CV axle. The rest of the days shenanigans revolved around getting a unrelated group of 3 totally unprepared and mechanically challenged Toyotas out of a bad spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citron Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I had heard Elbe was pretty intense. Looks like a bit of water. I wonder how it is in summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Elbe was definitely intense. I didnt take my truck and I probably wont ever because the trails are so damn tight. Summer would be preferable as the water levels were pretty high in some ponds/puddles due to the buggies with 40"+ tires ripping everything up. Its a great spot for small, short wheelbase rigs like the Suzuki's, who had no problems getting through with 31's and lockers but unless you dont mind body damage I would carefully consider which trails u attempt off the main route when taking an R50.

Citron Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The video is private. I think you need to post it as a link instead of an embedded video for a YouTube private video to work. Or make the video public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJim Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hey guys, I have been posting on the Facebook page asking for others to go to Tahuya on March 11. I have a friend with a Rubicon Wrangler who wants to go and I'm gonna actually take my F-250 that day to play a bit in it. My Pathfinder is slightly down at the moment for a other tie rod issue. Not a big deal, but it's been either too rainy, 30 degrees, and/or snowing lately making it difficult to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
