Welcome to the Official SoCal BS/ Shenanigans, Tundras and What’s Happening Thread

Oh ok I was like what am I forgetting now lol. I just have my stock battery for now so I don’t need that

 

Wow! It’s beautiful, even without a colour.

Sadly, we figured this was likely. It makes little sense to travel, no matter how self-contained you might be, if you’ll be limited in activities and visits. Plus I know that taking Crockett to meet his early carers at Children’s is an important goal for your next visit out here; it will probably be a while before non-essential access to healthcare campuses is allowed.

We’ll just keep it on the list of good things to look forward to! In the meantime, stay well.

I loved the pic of Crockett working on, I think, CV’s, with you. Good stuff.

You do neat work! Do you have more time these days, or is Tony just on your short list of favourites? @fisherman951, Francis is a great resource; if have jumped on this offer.

 

So... I had one week off work. Shortened from 3 weeks originally scheduled. Took the one so I’d be off for my son’s birthday, and we were gonna try off-grid camping, but last week’s 4 days/night deluge killed the camping.

Anyway, the last time my kid left our yard was THREE WEEKS AGO , when we did some exploration near Idyllwild with the @nishibot s. So today, to create one day of “real vacation” before I go back to work, we drove the BFT up to Pine Valley for a break from our neighborhood and maybe a bit of nature.

We tried a back route I know from Pine Valley up to the Sunrise Highway. It was lovely, but for a closed gate about half way up.

Never mind. We turned and came down, parked, and found a foot path which was, I think, a portion of the Noble Canyon trail. Took a walk and it was very good to be outside!
I’m sorry this are oriented every which way but right.


I’m especially loving this! Even “clear” days now include beautiful clouds, like I remember growing up. I think it’s the lessened pollution....

 

Tony is on everyone’s favorite list. I do have a little extra time. I have the week off. Should have been in Yosemite with the family.

 

Finally got around to installing my RCI skids after work today! If you look closely you can see I removed my sway bar too!

 

So I guess I missed progress on RCI’s gas tank skid. Now fits with 38 gallon tank?

 

Yes they have the option for either the 26 or 38 gallon fuel tank.

 

okay. I figured out, my curiosity was related to design of where the bolts go— they still oriented downward so they may be sheered off, or redesigned to mount sideways or within a protective recess fo some sort?

 

So two of the bolts are recessed and the others have a u-tabs welded around them.

Anyone in San Diego looking for a Magnaflow Catback Exhaust?
https://www.magnaflow.com/products/...back-performance-exhaust-system?aces=11232544

Currently on a 2011 Double Cab 6.5' Bed. I'm looking to go back to stock. Nothing wrong with the setup, just want to go to a single outlet muffler and keep the noise to a minimum

Let me know if you want to trade

 

Bump

@eccracer104 Mike! Tell Lance he needs these wheels n tires!!

 

I can’t right now, money is tight with being furloughed and I plan on staying with 18” wheels. Thanks for the offer though.

 

Mojave time

 

Just a lil friendly hazing, bud! Glad to have you around!

 

I’m jonesing to do more mods but everything is on hold for now. I was just over on you build page and I’m really liking your new wheels and tires!

 

I like em too so far!
Looks like SanG will be the first test, unless other trails open up!

 

I’m ready for some trail time, even with my stock tires!

 

Yeah, I need some dirt!

 

I saw a couple posts on TW people were being cited on Cleghorn!

 

crew rolling deep.

 

What a bummer. I understand and approve of social distancing but to me it makes sense to get way out to explore. <sigh>

My fam went out in one truck a few weeks back, just to get away from the neighborhood and concrete. But I did nothing fun er, I mean, risky , so as not to create potential rescue requirements. Actually stayed on an old potholed trail that wasn’t even off-road. I’ll be happy to get out again, do real off-roading.

 

What sliders are these?

 

They are White Knuckle Off-road sliders
