That is not acceptable, I want the real details, save the axle play.

Are bobbed pickups allowed or is it strictly a landcruiser event? My 80 will not be ready for this event.

LukeZero · 05-08-07, 11:56 AM

My understanding is that pickups would be allowed.

You, however, might not be allowed.....

woooody · 05-08-07, 12:12 PM

Any TLCA member vehicle is allowed.

Even yours Mickey

Remember -- Chairman Tony Twiddy drives a "slightly" modified pickup

peesalot · 05-08-07, 03:47 PM

just keep mickey away from fire and tell him there aint no sand to sleep on.

FJason80 · 05-09-07, 12:34 AM

Sorry to hijack this emotional moment, but I need some advice.

My 80 is stock except for sliders and 34" Cooper Discoverer STTs. I have no front or rear bumper. I'm a fairly experienced wheeler, plus I live in the Tahoe area, so this terrain is my home turf. Do you recommend this run for me? I have heard that a rear bumper is a must...

If I decide not to take my own rig, does anyone have any room in their cruisers?

alvarorb · 05-09-07, 04:45 AM

Jason,

With no rear bumper, no t-case skid plate and no sliders you will trash your 80. We took a fairly lifted 80 through Wentworth Springs last week. The driver was top notch. But, he had no protection and as expected he damaged his rocker panels. Keep in mind that the section of the trail we did is considered the milder section of the Rubicon.

Save your money and get protection, it will pay off in the long run.

Regards

Alvaro

sorry for my PMS - I will make up for it by bringing gifts - by the way I may not get time off - Is it possible just to join in for the weekend? I burnt up my vacation for CM07. Let me know Thanks.

peesalot · 05-10-07, 07:03 PM

Yup, lots of people come in friday night. Just bounce down caddy from Tahoe side and find us in the dirty dozen area, we'll put you up and feed ya. Why not drive the 80 ?

Dunkane · 05-11-07, 03:30 AM

hi tlca members !!!!

i'm dunkane, member 15810, me and my friend TOTOY, are coming
to the rubithon with the deutch team (FJ40 GARAGE, peter),for the first time,
so we are looking for 2 seat in 1 or 2 vehicules.

so could you help us to find those seats ? ,

our airplane ticket are bought,
and we are happy to meet for the first time the TLCA team !!!

alvarorb (Alvaro), have maybe a back seat in his
80 for me, so if it's still ok.... but if someone have 2 seat in two 40 series (our french association is only for 40 series), could be fantastic !

for info , i'm the président of the TLC SERIE-4 FRANCE association, have good mecanical skills on 40 series (diesel), and Totoy is a professionnal on 40 body repair (aluminium and steel), we are about 25-30 years old and in love with our landcruisers !!!!!!

let's us know if you have info

dunkane60@hotmail.com (messenger)

best regards

LukeZero · 05-11-07, 06:01 AM

I'm a passenger myself for this years event- so I can't offer you a seat. I just wanted to say that I think its awesome to have so much international interest. Only 40 days to go....

peesalot · 05-11-07, 02:40 PM

Luke, any news on the incoming plans ?

Fellas from France, Keep posting here and on the Pirate Bulletin Board and you are sure to get a ride. If you keep up the messages people will see it. Post some more info on your travel dates. There are multiple runs/groups all staging at different times so it would be most helpful to post up when you are arriving and when you plan on meeting up with a group to ride with.

I changed my flight to Tuesday night. Getting in at 10:45. "ginericFJ80" from pirate is getting me out to the Springs LATE Tuesday night. He might also have me on the way out late Saturday night. It looks like it's all good

woooody · 05-11-07, 03:56 PM

Luke -- Springs or LOON... I think Eric is on the Wednesday Loon breakfast run. He won't make it if he's in the Springs on Tuesday

peesalot · 05-11-07, 08:29 PM

I think Luke means Loon. Well then you will just have to hang there on wed. , we head in on Thurs. morning. If you do go in with someone please post a sign at the Kiosk letting me know who and when you went in. Otherwise I will plan on finding you at the Kiosk wed afternoon . If you find some cruiserheads who are campin at the campground just before dam just put a note on Kiosk and I will come find ya. Basically if you pull into Loon put a note on Kiosk so we can locate each other. I usually camp at bottom of dam on wed night.

None of this means anything to me yet since I've never been there. I don't even know if I'm naming landmarks correctly. PM me with a phone number so I can get this right.

Cruiserdrew · 05-12-07, 07:58 AM

Loon Lake #2 dam is where everyone will start this trip, not Rubicon Springs, which is the destination/party spot/cool place to hang out. For anyone looking for a ride, I think hanging around the base of the dam by the small forest service shack would give you the best chance to talk with everyone.

I would love to offer the international folks a ride, but I don't know how many spare seats there will be until the actual start of the Run. Another option would be to get to Loon Lake on Tuesday night-a group of us will be camped at the base of the dam, and we may be able to sort out rides for the following day's run.

FJ40-GARAGE · 05-12-07, 09:02 AM

From my point of knowledge there will be 5 seats needed for the Euro-Cruiserheads.

Its not necessary that we all get a ride on the same day or the same group, 3 of us (TK aka The Krauts) would be happy to join the 80´s run wednesday morning if things work well.
Marc Schäfer with Spouse and his 4Runner from germany come around as well with their own vehicle and we will force him to carry our baggage up to the springs.

The 2 Frenchies would prefer to get seats in some 40´s as i know, so i asume they dont mind to much about the day of starting the trip.

I know that things will work out well in the end anyway and if anything ill be the first willing to crawl up to the springs on my naked nipples just to be there!

No pictures allowded........

greenfox · 05-12-07, 10:31 AM

I should have a seat open But bring some spare under were if you ride with me
