I know but I think it needs to be clarified for those that have jumbo jets flying over their heads

I did a quick tour of CA last year, Rubithon, Yosemite, by Death Valley, San Diego and up the coast. My wife, son, and I traveled with many of those aluft Californians Mr. Schotts was referring to. You know the ones that won't let you eat at their table or stand next to their fire (oh yeah we didn't have a fire) or let you stay in their homes for FREE. They certainly wouldn't show any sort of hospitality towards out of staters. And you know their governor drives a Hummer so how the heck could any of them know how to wheel?

Seriously, the CA LC community is very strong. They are very helpful to anyone and everyone on the trail (even if you are jerk). And they know how to wheel. They aren't running around to the local malls with their built wagon Cruisers they are actually using them (If anyone saw that built white wagon in the Ventura Mall at the end of last June, yep it was me, it wasn't a local). Look at where the 100 series breakage is occuring, either Christo is driving or it is someone in CA. I'm sorry if anyone gets butt hurt about this statement but, "There are more 100s getting wheeled harder in CA than any other state." They might not have it per capita, but because they are such a populous state they have a lot of people wheeling and a lot people wheeling 100s.

So I think his comments about Californians are sort of unwarranted. And I replied in a very sarcastic tone, that those who know me and know where and how I wheel and who I like to hang with would understand. I didn't mean to leave the rest of you in the dark.

Oh and I've been driving my dad's LX450 the last few days, and I will say there is one thing I like a lot more in the 100 than an 80, leg room! I don't think any 80 owner who has spent time in both could dispute that 100s without a doubt win the 80 vs. 100 debate in legroom.

Unless you have LTank's seat brackets for the 80. Then the 80 wins!

Oh, good for CA on wheeling their 100's! Good for ANY state for wheeling their 100's! For CA drivers to tout they have the only good 100 drivers....plain ignorant. They reveal their true character.

Dude did someone steal your milk money as a kid?
No one from Cali said that, your the one who posts comments with little digs to people and vehicles, you simply draw the reactions from so many people because of years of comments and statements.




My 100 tech post, what is the field of vison for the back up camera?

for the record I owned a 2005 100 series and would anyday drive it over my 80 in town, through the forest and across the desert. But when it comes time to wheel, my 80 is the weapon of choice

You've missed a lot of comments about this over the years. That's OK. Nobody catches everything.

I have a LOT of milk money.

Maybe if you didnt come across like you did, your threads would not go to hell, I remember you and Slee and your comprehension of driveline issues quite well. You have alot of good to add but your tone and comments erase those benifits. Its too bad, I think your in it for the attention now

OK, no tech, babbling, interstatal nonsense...

Deer Valley is an easy run. Surfpig made it in in a Stock 55, no power steering and a broken wrist. And 2 kids.

One has to say something postive about an 80 when possible.

Only if you like lots of mangled Lexus sheetmetal. Even the Heeps and mini's fear to go there (though not as much)...

The Hammers, dude, the Hammers! World famous! Compared to Johnson Valley, Rubicon is just a warm up. Oh, wait, you haven't been there either...

Hey moron, who ever said this except you? More of the usual Shotts revisionist history...

Talk about revealing one's true character...

No I've not. It is a bummer. Seriously. Sounds like fun. You know what else is fun? Rubicon experts have said they've seen me do obstacles more dangerous than the Rubi. I think they're nuts. The Rubicon is the ultimate!

[1loudLX]

ok guys, we need to have a group hug.

but you have never driven your 100 in NYC...thats the true test of ones ability to overcome obstacles.

[CaliCruiser]

Can we just go to Deer Valley and wheel? I'll bring my 60 series. On a serious note, I am planning on running that trail back and forth several times this summer if anyone is interested. . .

P.S. Nice pic Rusty Dan, I recognize that spot!

[Campfire]
