If you are coming in Friday night, get your safety check done then. They are open untill 11pm.

Mikey will be there early Friday. If you don't have his #, you may want to PM him. Just look for this Dodge with an ugly red 4runner on the back!!



Be sure to have all the items on the list.

1. Roll bar or full cage or factory hard top.


* 2. Functioning parking brake or Mico lock.


3. Tow strap or rope. No chains or straps with hooks. Recommend rated at 2 times vehicle weight.


* 4. First aid kit (what do you want when you are hurt?). It should be mounted/stored in an easily found and accessible location, so that someone not familiar with your vehicle could find it in a hurry.


* 5. Jack capable of lifting the vehicle and a tool capable of removing lug nuts (don't forget your wheel locks).


* 6. Spare tire equal to or within 3 inches (measured at the outside diameter) of existing tires on the vehicle; must be an appropriate off road type tread. No temporary spares.


7. Fire extinguisher with gauge indicating good, appropriately stored (not a missile hazard). Like the first aid kit, someone not familiar with your vehicle should be able to quickly find and access it.


* 8. Seat belts for driver and all passengers.


* 9. Antennas must not exceed 4'6" (54") in length except when longer antennas/whip are required by certain OHV areas.


* 10. Adequate attachment points front and rear, i.e., tow hooks, receiver, etc. Tow balls are generally rated for only 2,000 pounds, and that is when hooked to a trailer. They can come off with devastating results and are not recommended. Instead, for SUV's without a good tow hook attachment point, use the largest shackle or clevis (generally 1") which will fit in the tow ball hole on your stock bumper.


* 11. Battery hold downs; no bungee cords.


12. Functional 40 Channel CB radio. Handheld (walkie-talkie) types are acceptable but not recommended.

 

I'm not going to be able to make this one. I have too much going on. I wish I had the time but I 'm a

Bring Wood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was actually planning on coming to this one and being a surprise late guest, but I jacked a pimple into the sidewall of one of my tires, and they are on backorder for two weeks. So I'm going to miss yet another one.

We going to do our cheapass version of TDS this year again???

 

That sucks Jared. Too bad. We will catch you at the next run.

I really hope we are doing the Tierra Del Pobre this year. Even if just to have Seth make another cool video!

 

I'm gonna bring the video camera to Superstition, so if my passengers can hold thier hands steady, we'll have another video.


I have the beans taken care of for sure. I also got a grip of Oreo wannabes for after dinner. I'm gonna bring some wood for the fire as well.

I have a raging clue for this weekend.

 

dudes it gonna be frickin cold so rig for foul weather mateys.......

 

It will be a bit chilly at night.

 

Bunch of sissies! LOL

Cool about the video for the trip Seth. Your stuff always turns out good.

Weather Smeather. We are gonna have a good time makin Jeepers look silly.

I am gonna cook all the rice on site. I got the cheap stuff that cooks fast but it will taste fine with a couple of beers as long as Mikey brings his OveGlove to entertain us.

 

Do they make OvePants?

 

This close enough

 

Nice! hahaha

 

well guys i got some bad news i just got off the phone with the chp and they told me they are going to be closing I8 to high profile vehicles and trailers(that's me x2)by about noon.... i've mulled it over and it just sounds like i'm not coming..... the chp i talked to told me that they will be making anything over a certain height park in alpine or in ocotillo..... so i'm kinda screwed .... well i got 15#s of carne in my truck so if anyone wants to soldier on and take it out they are more than welcome to it.....sorry but i dont feel like getting blown over or off the road

 

What about going out the 78?

 

ok well maybe i posted too soon.... i checked the weather and wind for tommorow morning and it looks like the wind is going to die down alot by the morning so i will probably just have to skip tonight and head out tommorow.... i can't be for sure that i will come but i sure am hoping.... Andy will bring the bbq and the carne just in case so you guys won't starve.... but i dont think i will make any of the runs so i will just have to wheel like heck on sunday

 

The Deathrunner will fart blood if Fartruk doesn't make an appearance.

 

i will be leaving tommorow morning early so i can hopefully make a run if not my buddy with the cherokee will be caravaning with me so i might just go wheel with him.....

 

Dang do I really need all that stuff on the checklist to wheel with the group on Saturday? If so I only have like half of that stuff haha...I guess i'll be wheeling with you guys on Sunday only then. Hey Mikey could you PM me your number maybe I can wheel with you guys Saturday if you don't join the group.
