Anybody headed out from LA area, flying in from SEMA, will be at LAX 11.20am, on the 1st. split beer,wine,wood,gas,etc..please no crazy's..
Paul.
Paul, you should check out the LAX to San Luis Obispo (SBP) puddle jumper. The airport is about 20 minutes from the beach, I'm sure we can arrange transportation.
 
Sorry Man!!!!! But I wont be making it!!!!

Im in the middle of a 65 day shut down at Chevron where nobody takes a day off (exept sunday). I am at work 72 hours a week. And.... it sucks.. :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:


I hope you guys blow a transfer case or something for me. :crybaby::doh::grinpimp:

Have fun while I'm here working like a dog!!!!!:crybaby:

Now you can really hear those darn violins in the back round.
 
Sorry to disappoint but there is NO creek, hasn't been for months.

It will take a few rain storms before the "creek" breaks through to the ocean. So no water crossings this time.

We have had some light rain this afternoon and last Saturday, plus the marine layer thicken up a bit. That means the sand is heavier, easier to drive on. The forecast looks great for the weekend. Sunny and maybe some warm off shore breezes.
 
I seem to recall e9999 arriving last year and getting stuck in the soft sand instantly when turning off the hard pack. Could have been the year before, my memory of the event is fading. Anyway, the self recovery thing may be for real.
Looking forward to the show.


bah! airing down is for sissies...! I plow through with LOCKAS!








(OK, and shovels too...) :D
 
Looks like Eric's info was better than mine.

For our Sunday entertainment, E9999 will perform a self-recovery demonstration, by hand winching his heavy 80 Series up a steep slip face!



:flipoff2:

LOL, LOL, Jim I'm actually Laughing out Loud...and about to fall out my f*&king seat
 
Newbie to Surf & Turf

Hi All:

I hope to make it this year. I bought nice '85 FJ60 two months ago that had loads of work already done to it, but she needed work under the hood. Hence the nickname "leaky" :) I hope to wrap up a new clutch/main seal job in time for Fri or Sat arrival. This will be my first road trip and I am stoked !!

Over the past 2 months I have:

1) Replaced the Rad & Hoses
2) New P/S Pump
3) Built expedition cabinets in the back
4) Installed a Warn Winch
5) Installed my ham & CB radios in a Tuffy Center Console

Is the trail ride to "Pozo" suitable for a beginner? as I am new to the LC scene. It sounds like some of the steep areas all have bypasses.

If you see this this rig there be sure to say hi !, I'll have a Mombassa RTT on top, and be sure to check out the cabinets in the back.

Mark,

Yes, it's an easy ride.
It's a Forest Service road. A friend did it a couple of years ago in his Civic...

Hey Mark,

Good to see you will be getting more wheeling out of that rig than my Brother did and that she is getting the attention she deserves.

I will be down there and will definitely say hello as I want to see what you have done since I snapped that pic.

We won't be going to Pozo this year.

The National Forest is Closed due to Fire Danger. This includes the road to Pozo.

Still, plenty of fun on the beach and dunes.
 
So how much should I air down my tires? And what the hell am I supposed to do when it's time to leave and my wheels are rubbing the asphalt?


I'm new to this. And it would be really embarrassing to end up trapped in sand.... :rolleyes:

Air down to about 15 psi...and when you leave just up the street there is a Chevron with a 4 hose station to fill up. You will be fine driving to the pumps at 15 psi. Additionally, any driving around town while aired down should be okay.

My first year, full stock, I was running 8psi....didn't know a damn thing about this board or my truck.:beer:
