Mark, I will fly out there and gladly hold on for dear life while filming some videos!

Looks fun! I told myself I wanted to do that before going to college but that didn't happen.. Oh well, see you in 4 years Pismo

 

anyone down for another pismo trip? i know there is another toyota event. called Surf and Turf or something like that. its mainly Land Cruisers but other toyotas are welcome

Oceano Dunes, California.
November 1-3
Pole 6 area

 

As long as I can get off, I'm in!

 

Just saw this..... YOU ARE WELCOME to roll with me any time! Camera will be ready! Lol

 

Dang, I would but my trips for this year are done after my santa cruz island kayaking/fishing trip next week. I'm going to japan in december with the wife, so I gotta mellow out until after that.

Been catching up on your thread, saw that REI stove/table case - I have the same thing but the very first model (shorter table legs), great addition specially for that price.

 

im still on the fence about going to pismo in NOV. the weather is much cooler than. but i heard in the years past events, the LC drivers tear it up in the dunes.
ill go if i can get atleast one of my friends/co worker to go

till than i got plans in mid oct to hit up the mountains to see about some snow

REI has tons of stuff i want but so damn expensive.. more used gear sale events for me if i plan to keep shopping there lol

 

anyone think this would be a good place for my new LED light bar?

 

Nice Toyo. This one would be all flood right?

 

yea its all flood. i still not sure if this is where i want it installed. i really cant find any other good places for it.

 

Nice! Haha..... When did you decide on that? Is that 10 inch or 12 inch? I think it looks great right there!

 

Ordered it about two weeks before our pismo trip but didn't make it in time

 

Nice,..... What size????? Gonna make me look back? Haha. Who did you get it from? I know you like bargains so I'm assuming you didn't get it from rigid. I started seeing covers for them, I think that's a great idea... Hard plastic and the clip on to the little corrugated fins portion... I think the only one I saw said rigid on them , but then millions of copies will be soon to follow I'm sure. I like the idea of a cover only because, while the glass is definitely hard, Why not protect it when it is not in use, correct? I think I saw colored covers too, like Lightforce does......

Remember those lights on the trip?[Lightforce] Good grief those things are insane. I remember someone blinding me on a trip one time and it was a Buell, you know the Harley Davidson super fast street bikes? But this one was more of an off-road version... The thing was maladjusted, pointing strictly straight ahead and even a little up, so I'm sure that was a factor, but actually a couple of us had to pull over a bit to let him pass. We saw him later at a gas station, as I walked over to tell him he needs to fix the freaking light, before I could say anything he apologized and said "Oh my gosh guys, I'm so sorry!!! I'm missing piece of hardware and I have to use zip ties to hold this thing on until I can get home... I'm so sorry!" .... My DC's - 8" are pretty BA too... Very bright. ..... I just don't have space any more for the round halogens. I would have to either mount them on the roof or just go with rectangular on the front, above the LED that is already there. That means I would have no air pushing through for cooling right there, ....at all,... pretty much. Lol.

 

It's made by Lifetime LED and carries a lifetime warranty. Hence the name. I sure it's made in china but the company is based in NY. My friend owns a local off road company that sells tons of stuff so I go to him for the best prices. California Crawlers

It's a 13.5 inch LED flood
They carry many sizes and if you wanna look at them. Google lifetime led. Should be the name of the site as well

 

should be drilling the holes and installing them tomorrow if i get one of my surprise project done

some pix of it at night ish. was around 8pm and i do have a street light outside my house

 

Nice! "AHHHHH, a ToyUFO is coming up behind us!" Hehe....

 

yup mark, cant wait to get it done

i dont think i posted this picture

 

Ah hahhhh, always nice to find a good keeper of a picture like that, weeks later!

Nice rig, she is, Seņora Blanca! Lol....

 

mark, i really like to find a cover for these or something that would fit. the glass is right up front and could take rock damage. if you find some covers, let me know!!

finally drilled the holes and installed it. i love it even more!!

my poor arb bumper. lucky i had it for a while or else i dont think i could have done this if it was new haha








cant wait to try it out this winter. i have it slightly aim down since it is flood and be more useful when going down hill where i stock/fj lights dont light well

 

i'd be interested in a pismo trip! kind of a noob though.

 

also, love your truck man!
