seems to be alot of people wondering about bringing freinds and kids. Me and plumbrbob what this run to be family freindly open to all. Bring your family and freinds this will not be a hard core run just a day of fun and putting faces to screen names. the only concern of mine with childern is maken shure they stay in the vehicals if recovery is going on, there can be alot going on tryin to get a vehical unstuck and i want to have a safe trip. hope to see you all on the 21st

usally the basics for headin out are:CB, highlift jack,tow strap,shovel,and a clevis or too, make shure your spare is good, tools,extra oils and water,
For your self : some extra clothes,food and water

you really dont have to have all this stuff its just what alot of us carry. That why were doen this meet n greet run is to get the new guys out on the trails with out many worries. there will be a few exeperinced wheelers that are very prepaired willing to help with truck promlems, recovery and basic wheeling skills

 

couple more questions lol..

so it this a two day thing?
are you going to be up there camping both nights or just saturday night?
any problems if i invite my neighbor?...he drives a jeep lol

and unrealed i need some suggestions to mounting a tow hitch to the back of my truck, a factory one wont work since i am bobbed.

 

like i said everyones invited. freinds with jeeps or what ever they have thats 4wheel drive is welcome. im not shure what the camping situation is.

 

I am planning on camping saturday night only.

I dont see a problem with jeeps joining there will be other jeeps as well, all are welcome I cant speak for everyone else but wheelers are wheelers to me.

I dont know what to tell you about a tow point on a bobbed bed. I just welded up a tow point to my flat bed. using female receiver tube welded to my frame and a drop hitch upside down with a 3/4 shackle in place of a tow ball. i still need to add some more beef to the female tube but you get the idea.

 

We are 99% sure to be there Just gotta line up one of the gramas to watch our littlest man We will be wheelin in my runner with our 3 year old, Tanner

 

right on!

 

Right on we are looking good

 

I have a correction to make

I will NOT be camping overnight

 

yeah i dont know about camping i dont think the weather will be that good and i dont have enough room in my camper for a bunch of yota nuts.

 

wow this looks like it might be a fairly big turn out! too bad i wont be home to make it... Tahuya is like 45 mins from me.

 

Ah man! I was gonna sing that yota song LOL

 

FERRY TIMES FOR SAT MORNING 6am, 735am


so i was looking at ferry times departing from seattle. there is one at 6am and one at 7:35, i will take the later one, which puts me in bremerton at about 8:40, and its roughly a 20-25 minute drive to belfair from there.....so i will a few minutes late, along with anyone elso taking the ferry

 

Right on I will wait for you guys then. Do you have a CB? I'll be on CH.4

 

man, tahuya has been on my list for a while.... grrr... 4runner needs more shake down time before i take her so far from home, however this would be a good time to get some miles on the new motor..... where is the angles and devils on my shoulder smilie?

 

Thats too bad, I dont get to see my favorite type of rig (2ndgenrunner22re) very often esp. one that is built up!
I think you should listen to the devils I do all the time!

Well maybe next time unless you change your mind

 

Come on guys lets see these maybe's turn to yes!

Tahuya

 

Man, I got the whole front end tore apart on my rig. One project just turned into two or three...

 

Yea I know how that goes I just tore my axle apart to upgrade my gears but I had it back together that night.

Hope it isnt anything too seroius, One time I went into the front axle to repair an inner seal and ended up replacing everything due to a bent axle ball and broke birf LOL

 

Wahoo welcome aboard 94blackyota!
