I'm planning a trip to mammoth mountain. You guys think my 93 runner will make it up there with no problems?
Thanks in advance

Well thats a really vague question but If your 4runner runs and drives normal then it shouldn't be a problem...

junbug

sorry, my brother was on the computer and he was rushing me. But yes, my 4runner runs and drives normal and havent any problems with it. By the way, i like your avatar! i have a never summer SL and system and absolutely love them!!

When are you going? I really need to get a new board... my 5 yr. old Lamar has had it...

surf4runner

yes. as long as the coolant is in decent condition (assuming winter trip) youll be fine.

junbug

Thanks surf4runner. My coolant/radiator seems to be in pretty good condition. I was also planning on doing a radiator flush prior to the trip.

I was planning on going next friday if more runs are open. I dont think it'll be worth it for me to travel 5-6 hours just for one lift. What board are you planning on getting next?

Keggo

I really like Never Summers... But, they seem kind of hard to obtain. I know where I can get them in ABQ, NM... but not out here in Bakersfield. Anyway, I may end up getting a Burton... I was thinking Forum, but heard bad stuff about the slider system. I haven't researched the newest boards, sorry for the vague wishlist.

It'll do fine. One time we had a 69 VW van in the convoy...It was way slow and arrived like 4 hours after the rest of us but it made it.

I've heard about the slider system on the forum boards breaking sometimes. look into rome snowboards if you're thinking of getting burtons. supposedly, rome snowboards was started by a burton ex-employee and their boards are very similar to burtons. If you cant get a never summer near you, try calling the company in colorado. i'm sure they'll sell one to you straight from their factory.

junbug

hahaha then i'm sure my runner will make it!!

Make sure you take some black pepper with you and some water just in case.

it doesnt look promising for friday. this whole next week is gonna be in the high 80's. i think i'll wait till theres more snow. :cry:

Keggo

I love the Never Summer boards' flex... so crazy... I remember seeing someone bend one in half then it returned to normal...CRAZY!

surf4runner

curious as to what the pepper is for? to go with the salted roads?

tc

There is an urban legend (confirmed on Mythbusters I believe) that black pepper will seal radiator cracks
