**@CAPACITY**Idyllwild 4/29 camping-wheeling-(most likely bs too)

I've got the unluck of the Irish lol

 

@4WALKER will you be able to make it on the 30th or should I take you off the maybe list...? Same with @MadTaco461

 

I personally like my bender, he may have an attitude but it gets the job done.

 

Happily the Walker will be under deconstruction/construction for the foreseeable future. Ahhh fuck it maybe a day trip for some wheeling because I know the camping portion is filled up. Keep me on the maybe and I'll hold off on tearing it apart.

 

Side note anyone got a pre 98 diesel duallie truck they are looking to get rid of? I need a frame & power plant for my 54 chevy

 

Go back to fixing the 4runner lol

Can't wait to see it. Also here's a question, how does having an exterior affect gas mpg.

 

I'll be camping Friday thru Sunday. I need to request off work that day, but I don't think that is an issue.

 

Place looks beautiful and amazing wish I was not in AZ this weekend

 

I'd love it if my tube bender drank beer and blew fire out.

 

I want to get into welding
Think it would be fun and very useful if I continue my off roading

 

Get a used flux core to learn on. They weld pretty bad, but a good cheap buzz box to learn on. Don't make suspension parts. They do weld like bird shit. I used one for a few years before my mig

 

I don't really plan on welding anything onto the current taco, if anything it would be a bed rack or something that doesn't affect the reliability of my truck. I'll look into a used flux core welder, I heard mig welders were pretty decent?

 

Mig are a bit expensive because you need a gas bottle too. Just look for a Lincoln 100 or something like that. Last time I looked they are all over Craigslist for $100. You can upgrade later down the road if you really get into welding. You'll know what you want when you have experience.

 

Thanks for the info, still have a few weeks to do research before I really have any free time to start learning

 

So I'm thinking we do potluck style! Everyone bring a dish(doesn't have to be an exorbitant amount) and Saturday night we'll drink and be merry and get fat!

So the 15 committed peeps, chime in if you're cool with that!

Tonight I'll hop on the computer and start researching meet spots and dial in the details! Wooooooo!

I understand it's easy to get in a convo with someone on a thread but I'd like to keep this thread focused on this trip and plans that people have. Sorry to be the ball busta, but I'm sure y'all understand ! Thanks!!!!

 

Works for me.

I call bringing napkins.

 

Hahah

 

Sounds awesome. I'll make some EZ Jambalaya. If we decided on starting with Bee Canyon. The dirt lot at the entrance is fairly large. Everyone can air down and whatnot there. There's also a gas station a few miles before the entrance to the trail. On Ramona Expy and 74.
