Pressure washed my skidplate...I'm not be gonna be "that guy" this year.

You might want to think twice about running this trail. Trucks have been known to get some brush scratches. Are you sure you are up to the challenge?

Oh no, not brush scratches!!! I just painted over all of the dirt so I could pass inspection!

Hehe, I hope you're planning on wheeling the pickup, because the 80 is a bit overkill.... Looking forward to seeing you again!

Heck no! The Cruiser has a better A/C system! LOL

Don't most 80s guys carry hedge trimmers and clear the trail of any dangerous brush before they get close to it? ...Or is that the 100s?

I carry a bow saw and an axe but they are used more for extraction and on-the-trail bodywork...

That plate looks like it'd be perfect for collecting dust/mud/small children/etc.

ih8washing my 80. Grrr. Funny thing is 90% of the dirt on my truck is from the mcgrew or fireroad. (well at least this year).

Ha!!!!! My thoughts exactly!!! Wallyword had Satin Black spray paint on sale... 4 cans work nicely to cover just about every bit on the underbelly I found.

The McGrew trail is my annual excuse to spend time detailing the underside of my truck.

I just confirmed that the O'Brien store is letting us camp there on Thursday and Friday nights for anyone wanting to stay at our starting point. NO CAMPFIRES PLEASE and they will leave a restroom unlocked for us. See you all soon!

Mapquest says 343 miles, If we leave by Noon we'll be right on time...

Should be plenty of time to get here.

LOL! I drive 55...Figure 7 hours for the drive, another hour for the GF stops. I'm leaving at 10.

We all know that the cruiser's series number also roughly determines our cruising speed. With all the mods on your rig are you still cruising at 55mph?

 

[Pighead]

Pretty much. I copied the RPM table for 4.88s and 37s...taped it near my tach.


Edit: It's very similar to the 4.11s with 31s

 

[TOY350]

Sounds about right, we are a hair less than 5 1/2 hours from Sac with only man stops. Knock off 20 mph and add girly stops and your calculations appear correct

Sweet! That is a weight off of my mind... And it is okay for me to leave the Dodge and trailer there for the weekend?

If everything goes smoothly, I should be pulling into O'Brien between 12 - 1 am... I'll try to be quiet with my straight piped Cummins!

 

[TOY350]

Good question on the truck and trailer Chad. I know peeps have trailed to the event many times but don't know if they left their rigs there or not. Anyone know where the trailers parked? If not I will make the call and see.

Oh Great!
Couldn't you just park on the street?

We've always left them there. Hopefully there will be room this year. We won't get there until tomorrow around Noon. Save us a spot!!

I could do a smokey burnout for you...
