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

So, that was an overview of what’s there, yeah? Other than an opportunity to soak my truck in saltwater, I didn’t see more on offer than Superstition-?

 

I’ve never had to cross any water. There are more than one road to the dunes. It’s a choice if you take that route through the water. I stay out of the saltwater all together. That video was pretty rowdy. It can get that way in the summer. Not so terrible when we’ll be there.

 

If you I go…..

 

Found it jut I did have to use the black insert so that is missing. No broken tabs. If you still want it then it's yours.

 

Lol. My ass will turn around and drive 5 hours back home before I dip my truck in the ocean.

 

Now I’m extra motivated. I got to call your bluff.

Exactly what I was thinking. Neither of us would ever wash that off. I can’t even drive through mud on purpose.

I got you

 

Lol

 

Pismo sand is like the deepest sand at superstition, but everywhere. The big bonus is having the ocean right there. Camp close enough to the water that you can hear it at night, but not so close that high tide will get ya!

 

And just like that, we’ve found an OG to lead our convoy!
in a Heep

 

There's another area to explore out in Anza-Borrego called the Slot. Pretty cool stuff

 

I will be heading to OC (Yorba Linda) on the 20th-22nd. I can contact you when it gets closer to set up a time to swing by. Appreciate it. I will PM you my contact number.

 

I will come out there to play around, heck, it’s a 40 minute drive for me. See you then Geno.

 

It would be great to see you again.

 

Not everyone is a drunken idiot....

 

Awesome. Be cool to see ya again.

 

What is going on with the front end? Can’t say I’ve ever seen a cr500 with a wider set front end like that. Way cool!

 

Sounds like an exclusion to me….

 

Irritating

 

Mark Harms from Sand Tires Unlimited had it built. The triples were custom made so it could use the stock CR500 suspension. Mitchell Wheels, before Douglas bought them out, made the custom wheel and brake assembly so again you could run the stock CR stuff. It had an 6" extended swingarm. Mark made 6 of them and I bought one of them from one of the original 6. I had it for probably 5 years.

Now for a real plot twist. I sold it to the son of the creator of Mitchell Wheels

 

That is awesome! Love that it retains the stock CR parts too. Bet that was a beast out there. Looks wild too haha.

 

I rode my bike up Blowsand Canyon and then down Buttes Pass by the Slot this past weekend, one of my favorite rides in the park. I've never hiked the Slot though, it's a fee area now to park at the top and there was a ranger in a car watching.

 

Any one looking for a stock bumper? I’ll have one for sale soon

 

Front or back? Black all the way? What treatment to black out the corners?

 

Front. It’s chrome and was plasti dipped black

 

GLWS

 

heading out to ABDSP next week for the new moon. any input on jasper trail -> grapevine canyon? looks pretty mellow.

 

Pretty tame trail. Just watch out for mountain bikers.

 

Good to know, thanks. Heading out with my 3 & 5yo and want something mellow but fun to get from Ranchita down to Blair Valley. Hopefully muddy.

 

Anyone making the trek from AZ to San Diego / SoCal to AZ in the next coming weeks?
