Tony scolded me. Nobody is bringing my truck. Who knows I may have to bike in again. LOL

Tony is still the man. Im damn glad to meet him.

Is there going to be helicopter rides this year?
 
WAGONS UNITE:steer::bounce: We shall start with a prayer and offering to the FJ60 Gods for no breaking of driveshaft, birfs, longs, inners, knuckles, or major dents. Gonna be here soon!
 
PortFJ62... is the 62 Wagoneer sold you the one thats red black and gray with cable lockers?
 
Drag your rig to my shop and we can get a parking brake installed. Cable, micro-lock, etc.

Yea,I have read all that.Im good on everything but the P brake :D

Im gonna see what I can do .

Thanks

After wheeling in Calico, I realized that I had forgot to finish mine. I did a mock up of mine and sent it off. It is being made at California Push Pull in Chico and they have a 10 day turn around time doorstep to doorstep.

If you decide to go to the Con, we can probably caravan. That is unless I'm still helping TRT2 move. :D

See sig line.

However the diesel one was tempting.
 
NICE! That thing is killer!
 
Thanks for the compliments everyone.:)

It will be awesome to see everyones trucks at the con this summer. Man it only about 2 months from now. Nervous but cant wait for the experience.
 
What about parking brakes and auto's, I only see how you guys test for a manual.


And spare tires, do I really need to carry a spare 38" ? or can and friend and I carry one spare for two vehicles?
 
yes, two trucks can share a spare... and if your tires are simply huge, and you have experience and a repair kit, we can omit the spare but realize, if you trash a tire, the group will keep moving.

ebrake test on an auto... the inspection team will simply do their best to ensure the system is complete and functional, which could include simply having you demonstrate the ebrake can hold the truck on a hill.

Additionally, Rubithon will allow a line lock on modified trucks which are unable to accept stock configuration ebrakes.

Safety is the primary goal of ... safety inspections. But your committee also realizes that common sense applies and will adjust requirements to suite the group, truck configuration and driver experience.


and new for 2009!!! Inspection teams will be putting a wrench on your steering arm studs. if they are not tight, you will not pass inspection and they will not tighten them for you (due to any damage that might be incurred during tightening). I do plan to include this info in confirmations which will be going out soon.
 
I believe RockDoc is coming as well.

So far I'm the only one that I know of from this neck of the woods heading down. I've been putting my hand up for 11 years now at club meetings, and it's finally happening!
It was kind of surreal actually, my wife had been browsing my club forums and read a thread on it, then asked me if I wanted to go "for an early Fathers Day present", well..yah!

Anyways, I'm signed up for the wagon run , 8 am Wednesday June 17th. Google tells me its approx 1500 kms/15 hours to Placerville from my house, but I'm a little confused as to what to do. I now understand the camping portion is actually at the end of run, but is there a campsite near the entrance? I plan on being a little early instead of too late.

LOL! I'll have to point that out to Chris if he hasn't already seen this post. :D
 
hehe... Chris found a way for us to make our event even better! (phrase it in a positive light.)


but ya.
 
Does the co-pilot have to be a TLCA member as well?

Dan.
 
no, just the registered driver. Registration is based upon truck and driver.
