Just a little less than a month!

i am looking forward to it.

Keggo

Ahhh yes, ME TOO! Though I just found out yesterday that I need A LOT more done to my front end than just new cv's and wheel bearings. Well, I guess not a lot, but really time AND money consuming. I need to change out that dang steering spindle bushing to a needle bushing. It's causing this horrid clunking when I drive at slower speeds. Anyway, I'll get it all done by then.

OH! MIKE! I saw you in 4Wheeler Magazine! YOU SLY DOG!! NICE!

I will be up there with my son and nephews. We'll be staying at the campground. Need to know your camping location, arrive times, cell numbers and CB (or HAM) channels...

Keggo

Hm... I'm cool wherever. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to set up camp?

calrockx

yep, good old trusty spot we've used for the pismo 4rjs. it's at the end of the line, near the bathrooms . look in the pismo 4rj3 thread, it talks about the spot.

October 15? I'll never get the motor swapped into my truck from my STI by then!!!! Sounds like a great trip Kevin! I didn't realize you had this thread going. I wish I could go. Maybe next time! Hope you guys have a great time.

So what time you guys gonna be at spot on Sat??? I could only be there for that day so I want to get the most out of that day!!!

Keggo

My g/f and I may be able to get there on Friday night. Which brings me to my next question... anyone know the number to reserve our spot so we can get in on friday around 11pm? I need to get a couple tow straps before I go and probably a receiver shackle. Hm... I need to replace my steering knuckle bushing with a needle bearing... and I need to change out my wheel bearings and put in new cv's... don't worry! I'll be there!

calrockx

just make the reservation on the website...www.reserveamerica.com, oceano dunes svra

Keggo

Cool. I just saw that on the 4RJ3 thread . I wonder how my pregnant g/f will fare out on the dunes... hahahah... We may have to keep it kind of mild so she doesn't get all achy and whatnot... heh heh

JRunner90

How many of you guys out there gonna be running open diffs??? I have a situation, right now I have KYB shocks and they were already on there from the previous owner and they are still in pretty good condition. They're really not that great off-road but its tolerable. See I don't know what to get before Pismo: a set of 4 Rancho RS9000's or a Powertrax Lockright??? Which would you guys recommend me getting???

boogyman

definitely the shocks... you won't need a locker at pismo

Keggo

Word, I'm going to be running open diffs... I have a ton of stuff to do to my truck before then... I'm confident that it'll get done. I probably won't have my sliders welded up in time, but I hope to have my BJ spacers, LC coils, new shocks, extended brake line all on before I go. Also, like I said earlier, I have those other repairs to make. The lift is probably going to go on the week before the trip!

boogyman

if you do that, try to take it out for a quick run before pismo.. pismo could destroy something if you don't have everything installed properly (and it WILL find EVERY little fault-- those sand dunes are harsh). if you can't go out before pismo, just take it easy on the dunes for a bit and check everything lots of times.

Keggo

Yeah, It's my daily driver, so hopefully a week of freeway/city driving will alert me of any probs before Pismo. I'll see if we can just hit some hills and stuff before we go. These next three weekends are going to be hectic with trying to get everything fixed or put on. Would anyone be willing to help me wrench on my truck one of these Sundays or Mondays before the trip? If I can get someone that's competent to help me, I'm sure it would go so much faster. It doesn't help that I usually work alone and without air tools... I wish there were some cool people that lived in Bakersfield...

calrockx

who's gonna get there first?
not me, i'm gonna be rolling in until around 1am or so friday night (sat morning).

whoever gets there early that went to the pismo 4rj3 should set up camp in the same spot, ya?

Keggo

I agree. My g/f and I MAY leave after I get off work on Friday night (7:30). So, we'll probably be there around 10 - 10:30. Hopefully someone is there already! I wonder how busy it will be that weekend.. I won't be able to reserve a spot until my next paycheck.

boogyman

so I'm actually going down to san luis this weekend (29th, 30th, and oct 1st).. I can't get another friday off to go down there :cry:

Keggo

awww man...! If I had the money, I'd go down there to meet you. Oh well... can you go between Sat (15th) and Sun (16th) at least?
