Surf N Turf, Nov. 4-6, 2005 - Page 2

PKP80 · 09-24-05, 12:50 AM

Taking a break decided to give myself a little motivation as well as share it with you all and also give a peep hole size idea to those who have never been to SnT what it's about. The pics don't even justify what it's like.

CRUZR66 · 09-24-05, 07:58 PM

Count me in this Year Jim, i will Drive my CRZR down to Pismo for the weekend, I'll leave on Friday morning, so i can get there early and set up camp, Gunner, CRZR66

Russ in California · 09-24-05, 08:10 PM

I'll be there. Heading down Thursday some time from Mckinleyville in my stockish 60. Looking forward.
One thing: not everyone knows everybody so maybe me need name tags or signs with our mud names. Sure would help me. I don't get to many events stuck up here in Redwood Country. Just a thought.

70chevfred · 09-25-05, 06:46 PM

cant wait for this years surf and turf. last year my fj was in pieces all over my shop
this years i m ready for the fun times with my own rig. see all you cruiser junkies there.

pismojim · 09-27-05, 01:47 AM

Fred, I've got a '70 camaro myself, had it since '71

Still lov'n my Camaro, but I don't think I'll bring the low rider out to the dunes.

clownmidget · 10-06-05, 04:29 PM

NorCalDoug · 10-06-05, 04:31 PM

Stop talking dirty, you're getting me excited.

clownmidget · 10-06-05, 11:39 PM

Jim, with the expected turn out you better upgrade and be brandishing dual shot glass bandoleros on top of your current rigging

70chevfred · 10-07-05, 04:36 AM

got mine when i was fifthteen from the original owner in pasadena. i still think the
cruiser turns more heads than the camaro does. dont know why, the camaro looks sharp. ill be there

PKP80 · 10-07-05, 10:15 AM

FRedo,
see you got those 35's on. I'm looking for a little romping on the dunes action feller.

If the sign comes in 3" by 3' then the 2" high letters would be unreadable from the decent distance unless you're underneath the post during relieving.

Or is it that you want smaller signs to save space for storage?

Cheers,

Snook's right. Of course he should be he made the awesome sign post!

Make them any size and we'll get them mounted!

chappysfj40 · 10-09-05, 09:44 AM

iam in ventura and will going again, driving from ventura
cant wait

Aseif007 · 10-10-05, 01:32 PM

I think I will finally be attending an event this year. I lived in SLO for a couple of years and I love Oceano, but I never wanted to take my Cruisers into the sand. Do you guys like Gin? And will my stock 97' FZJ be OK with the running boards? Hope to finally meet some Norcal Cruiserheads.

Brentbba · 10-10-05, 01:36 PM

Will probably drive down early, early Sat. morning like last year. Fighting LA traffic on a Friday evening isn't my idea of fun. Will bring wine!

NorCalSam · 10-14-05, 10:35 PM

lol I'm in...... looks like fun

Gin=Good. Saphire is my favorite, but "Crown Jewel" is excellent as well, just hard to find. The Trader Joe "Captain Ahab" or whatever is good too for small $$$. Your stock 80 will be fine but I reccomend you spend the 5 minutes and remove the running boards. They might get bent as you break over the lip of a dune.

Hanna Quality · 10-15-05, 04:09 AM

looking to be the best year of SNT yet, wouldnt miss it!

e9999 · 10-15-05, 02:10 PM

Guys, I think I'm gonna keep the MT/Rs on and go play in the sand with them to find out their (and my) limitations. Might as well find out with 200 cruisers around to get me out of trouble. So, if you see a stockish silver 80 buried to the axles, that'd be me in the middle of a traction experiment. Cool beverages for the rescuers!

Jim, anything we should know about tidetables and when to drive across the creek?
(http://www.classic-california.com/tides.htm shows low tide around 5pm on the 3rd)

I've had MTRs every time I've been on the dunes. What's the concern? You'll need to deflate to around 14psi (or whatever Jim recommends

), but you should be fine.

Gin's good

I wouldn't be too worried about the running boards -- I think the sand would give way before you'd damage anything. They're easy enough to remove though, as Andy said...if you're really concerned, yank 'em

Each year, I leave S-n-T thinking that it can't get any better...and each subsequent year, I realize I was wrong the previous year

Looks like another grand event!

e9999 · 10-15-05, 11:06 PM

so Doug, no problem with your MT/Rs eh? consensus out there seems to be that MTs etc tires are not good at all for sand. I never tried serious sand with mine, which is why I want to give it a shot and see what will happen, esp. at limited airing down. A lot of places in Baja with rocky roads and sand generously mixed up on higher speed runs...

Anybody else happy with MT/Rs in the dunes or is that just Doug's superlative driving skills?

nmostofi · 10-15-05, 11:57 PM

Been running MTR's on sand for about four years now. Like Doug mentioned air down to about 14 psi and you should be fine. Looking forward to meeting fellow mud members at SNT this year.

vdubster · 10-16-05, 07:17 PM

Count me in for this year. My wife and I are coming all the way Canada so I've got high expectations. I can't wait. Only two more weeks of work!
