I am gone June 2-7th to help with a hockey camp...other than that for now I will be in Cali and SCHOOL WILL BE DONE so NO EXCUSES!!!!

Once school over, I give anyone permission to get my personal email and cell, and text call nag me about any wheeling trip on a weekend from LA to SD or up to Big Bear and anyplace in between...I want to get my Jeep and 4runner some dirt under the tires, meet guys who know Yotas because I do not, and start game planning whatever mods I need to keep up with you all. I would love to get in with a group of folks who regularly go, and in the next year hit the trails frequently.

So far I am thinking of skids, sliders, rear bumper and some LED lightbar perhaps. And my stereo wiring is jacked and goes on and off but that doesnt impact trail riding Also considering CB and airtank if I start wheeling enough and others have CBs. The worst thing on my Big Bear Jeep trips is coming out of the woods after all day wheeling, and other guys have air compressors, pull over, fill up tires, and take off...and I have to limp to the one darn gas station up there that takes 10 minutes a tire to get them back up to inflated enough to hit the highway. I originally was thinking air tank under the hood, but if I start wheeling the 4runner I might run into the same issues. I also need some of you gurus to look at my tires, I like BFG ATs but not sure how old mine are, and I do have some plugs. I so do not want to spend money on new tires, but if they are not safe to rock crawl with I might have to put that on the to do list....and figure out what some decent ATs are that will not kill the bank, and also see if I can slap on a little larger tire perhaps, taller or wider on the Tundra rims. I have 265.70-17 right now still with clearance.

Ok that was off on a tangent...exam today, comprehensive exams Monday, oral defense following week, and lots of papers due in the coming weeks after that....so I just got on here to daydream about fun stuff once school is over!!

It was great to hear from u Matt... did u get my PM? Ok so anytime after the 1st week of June. :usa:

 

[4Running Daily]

I'm out of school June 4th. I'm down any day of the week after that, at least until August rolls around.
[MENTION=25058]ChildrenOfBodom[/MENTION] better come to these one of these days...

 

[bluecollarjock]

QC yup got it, was in class all night could not respond! Roger that to both of you, once school is over time to scratch up my 4runner

 

[Keemonrunnin]

When a date is finalized, I can then make arrangements/clear up my schedule.

 

[Quatre Coureur]

So far its kinda looking like the latter part of June. My younger son graduates high school on the 13th. I think we have something planned that wknd. After that its a go! :whoo:

 

[ChildrenOfBodom]

I'll keep checking for a solid date

 

[azn-sensation]

Very interested as long as my work/trackday schedule permits.

Sweet

 

[J-money$$$]

Id probably roll to a run if someone wants to hit up john bull.

 

[Quatre Coureur]

Ok here are the date(s): Either 6/22 or 6/29

 

[azn-sensation]

I should be good to go for either of these run dates.

 

[nihkon]

I'm good with either of those dates as well.

 

[4Running Daily]

I'm in Idaho on the 22nd of June. So the 29th works for me!

 

[Quatre Coureur]

Ok, looks like the 29th it is. Unless someone has a major objection. Same meet up time and place as before. Valero Station 32755 HWY. 18 Running Springs, CA 92382

 

[Dlak]

The 29th works for me and as soon as the date is confirmed I am inking it in my schedule!

I'd love to join, but I'm all stock. Are the blue squares easy enough for stock 3rd gen?

 

[OffRoadGuy]

What runs do you guys have in mind or play it by ear? Stock 4x4 should be fine for most big bear runs unless you're on dishpan, 2N17X, and parts of john bull.

 

[4Running Daily]

I'll probably have sliders before this run, so I'd like to try them out

I'm down for whatever though, from a fire road to dishpan.
