NorCal meet and greets

Oh sure. You guys go karting the week before I come into town. Nice. I'll remember that.

 

lol sorry bud. Wish I could kick it with ya.. but im going Hawaii!
Im sure @joonbug is free.

 

That's even worse. Have a crappy time in Hawaii. Where are you going?

 

I haven't been there yet, but that would be my suggestion as well. Supposed to be an easy trail with incredible views.

 

@joonbug @dcsleeper408 Ask and you shall receive. I finally got around to creating a build thread. Not up to date yet, but here you go.

hah!
Main Island. Sister's wedding.. I'll make sure I have a shit ton of fun!!! thanks

 

Nice. Big Island is fun but I know Oahu and Kauai better. Enjoy!

 

That he’s going to Hawaii or that Joon will be available?

 

Not sure. Maybe both.

 

HB, I'll try to post a couple of pics from the book tonight when I get home. Are you thinking North? Or open to anywhere?

 

You mean you don't travel with the book at all times? I always have it next to me on my desk, so that when I need a break I can open it up and dream about the next trip.

 

LOL. It's usually in my backpack that I carry to work. But I took it out last night to look for our next adventure and left it out. BTW, can't remember what it was called but it's a blue trail a little past Corral Hollow. I want to do that one next. Can you guys hurry up and get your sliders on before the snow starts falling????

 

Barney Riley? It is out and back, ends at a river. "Rough, bone-jarring in spots." That sounds promising. I thought you wanted to do the double black diamond High Lakes trail next.

 

I think Corral Hollow would be a lot of fun with a little bit of snow.

 

Yeah, that’s the one. I’m okay with anywhere, I just want to get out before the weather hits. It sucked last year waiting for trails to open back up. And muddy trails are just downright scary.

 

HB, here are a few easy trails.





To find where they are, you can input the coordinates circled in red into google maps or Navi.

 

I'm almost ready for the next trip. CMC happens tomorrow morning and half the new UCA's are installed. Frickin' ball joint press broke trying to pop the driver side. Hopefully Marshall (Stanley Fab) can lend a hand while he's doing the CMC. Now I'm just waiting for the sliders.....

 

Dirt biking season starts this week. But wheeling takes precedence so whenever you guys are ready to go, I’m ready. Mark, when you going to Hawaii and what’s your schedule like after Hawaii?

 

I’m back on the 7th. I’m looking at 13th weekend if we were gonna do anything. And that’s if weather permits. My manager just got a sequoia. I want to take him to the first spot I took my tundra to. Usal/lost coast rd. It’s a chill drive.. if no rangers we’ll play in the beach then back on the trail.. after that I’m kinda grounded. Getting some things together for the holidays and Mia’s 1st birthday..
Crazy. 1 year already. Hope she still likes going out with us when she gets older.. But i’ll Keep u guys posted as we get closer. Presley has been itching to go out. Ed is getting ready for his LT. A lot of things going so I really want to try and get this trip out.

 

wish i could go, but i'm stuck in boat jail in Thailand. I'll keep an eye out for next time i'm home to see if there's anything going on.

 

Joon, thanks a lot!

 

@HBdirtbag Bartlett spring road is a nice long fire road I was hoping to hit up this year. You can run a connecting trail, walker ridge right after. This is in the clear lake/ Mendocino area.

 

There are a few more easy trails to the east of Yosemite. Let me know if you want to see those too.

 

Ok, got the CMC done yesterday, Thanks @renosauce . He also checked the nitrogen in my coil overs and I finished the UCA install. Now my truck is too high in front and looks goofy with the back lower. With the Toytec shackles I've got I could go another .5" but I don't think it'll be enough. So, I ordered an Icon expansion pack, should be here next week.

 

Pics! Why is the front so high now?

 

It always was a little high (almost dead level) but we added a little more nitrogen to the coilovers and it went up a little more. I'll see if I can get a quick pic before the sun sets.

 

From center of wheel to fender it's measuring 24.5" rear and 25.25" front. So, it's down .75" in the rear with almost nothing in it. The leafs in the rear are looking pretty flat.

 

Nice warren!!
How many leaf springs does the expansion pack add?

 

I'd like to say thanks to Mark too, @dcsleeper408 , for enlightening me about the Icon Delta Joint. I'd never even heard of it.
