SoCal Meet was good!

So, it was obvious that not many were really going to go, but it was fine.

Me, juiceboxer, Pikeman, Stick Figure, kellogg all came together.

We ate at Round Table and yeah, it was all good.

Met a bunch of good people, its a good idea that next time, you show.

juiceboxer has all the pics, we only took a few anyway, but worth it.

We spent 3 hours there, well worth it.


Thank god for Brandon (juiceboxer), I followed him home cuz I was lost as hell lol.

All of us have real names, too.

My names James :D

boy it was awkward going to each other and saying"uh... I'm Children of Bodom..."

I took one cheesy ass picture of my 4Runner along Stick Figures. Brandon will post the rest, they're tight pics he got... he has this crazy expensive camera that took nice shots that arent all crappy like my year old 150 dollar digicam lol.

and that stupid maroon Nissan Quest...

Was glad to have you guys make it out there. Next time would love to see more. There was a combination of various levels of Runners. Completely stock, ext mods like clear corners and wheels and then my truck Lifted and roof basket. Just happy to see that while we may have different goals for our trucks that we can still get together and have a great time.
 
shucks you guys make me wanna cry

now that the awkward introductions are out of the way, ditch the sentimental parking lot and go wheeling!
 
Yes it was great to meet you guys, and now that we've got a little core group and no longer call eatch other by our forum call signs we CAN go wheeling. In fact, we are hoping to do a Wildomar run one week from today, June 14th. RSVP if you want to join! This will be the first of many.
 
it was nice to meet you all last night, probably be even better when we can meet somewhere that we can get the trucks dirty!


as far as wildomar on sunday the 14th, i won't be able to make it. That is the same day as the Spocom show.... http://spocomusa.com/ If i hadn't spent so much time building what is most likely the worlds first Twin turbo 370Z, i might be willing to miss it, but i have to see peoples reaction, and answer questions.

I could maybe do saturday, or pretty much any sunday after, if that doesn't work, not problem i'll just catch up w/ you guys on the next outing.
 
Okay, I finally got the pictures ready, they turned out pretty good, the clouds are crazy looking. I'm still working on the HDR shot I don't know if it will work though.

We definitely will have to do something like that again, I won't be able to make this trip to wildomar but hopefully I'll make the next one.

Those are nice pics..... It's incredible that there is no one else from Indy in this forum. everytime I'm on the streets I see at least 6-7 4runners in less than an hour that I am surprisse there is no t4r clubs over here...

I'm glad to read you guys had a good time....
 
awesome!! all those 4runners look great!. if only i wasn't on the other side of the country i would have loved to been there.

and yes is nice to say James opposed to ChildrenofBodom

I did throw them on, then ended up ordering new ones .... those were a little on the worn side lol. i still appreciate the gesture though! I've been meaning to update my "build" thread w/ a proper thank you, just haven't gotten the pics taken yet.

Hey, how much did you say you got those springs again?

Now that I think of it, even if I do have the 99 coils (I really want to say I do), they're probably worn a good bit considering the age and everything.

I figure if it's a reasonable price, I might do it myself.

I got the fronts used, but the rears i got new from Carson Toyota for $65 each. The dealers out my way wanted up to $100 each for them w/ a regular list of $85. If you want to price check the fronts, or just check the color coding on your springs to see what you have now ....

I found this on that link you posted...

Damn! Mine are coded White and Red for drivers side... the back I couldn't really see because its dark.

FR Springs - Blue / Yellow (48131-35400) Passenger Side
FL Springs - Blue / Pink (48131 - 35350) Driver Side
REAR Sprigs - Yellow / Red (48231 - 35210)

basically I take that as a no, I don't have them

what the fack! not fair!
