"Wheeler's Anonymous"

It's much better to learn on dirt.

 

@Nicklovin bring the bike. Great place to learn. The sand is tacky and not soft like glamis or Dumont. Hell you don't even need a paddle tires in Pismo

 

Ya just watch me fall & eat it all day long hahaha. Only if I can convince my friend, who mind you doesnt want to bother to fix the bike, to at least let me borrow it let alone take it off his hands so I can get it looked over & see if it's fixable. Than you know find some form of heavy clothes as temporary gear to see if I really want to invest in it

 

Cool! I've got them.

What else do I need to make them work?

 

@eccracer104 do you know anybody that would be interested in these? Carbon fiber knee braces EVS Web. Medium size. Only used 1 time. Have a small scratch on right leg. Think these were like $325 each. But I will sell for a great deal less.

 

You'll need some wire to link them. Think I soldered mine together with @SlipperyTaco kit. But you can use splice and quick connectors as well. You can tie the power into your DRL or to a fuse and set it to a switch. Not sure what the drl wire is on a 3rd gen.I'll look into it.

 

DRL for sure. Thank you! I usually stay away from wiring. Feel like it's one area i'm better off not messing with.

 

@eon_blue well since you have that hole, I could tell you how I made my flag pole. It's fairly simple, granted it shakes & makes a bit of noise but the thing is solid as long as it is tiightend down

 

sure, got any up close pics? I've seen some flag poles that mount into the towing hitch, but they're pricey and I was concerned it might not come up high enough to meet the criteria (think it was 7' from the bed?). I can't remember where I read that number because it isn't on the link, maybe I'm just imagining it

 

sweet. reserved and paid for. just waiting on a green sticker for the vw . see you mudda fuggas in august!

@MADSTEEZE and @stvstoy pm me your numbers since youre headed up friday as well so we can communicate about were to meet and set up a camp. if my memory serves me correct south of pole 4 is usually flat and wide (thats what she said) and we shoud be able to fit a larger group there

 

Wait do you have the tow hitch or tow ball? Because I have a hole in my bumper for the tow ball & I don't have the tow hitch which lets me do what I did, otherwise it'd probably be in the way

 

9' from the ground

 

The sand at the water is, out in the dunes its soft

I do not, but I'll let my friends know incase someone needs a new set

 

I got my ECM flashed with the new transmission software today. Only drove 8 miles home but it felt nice going up and over some hills

 

New transmission software???

 

Yeah I have the hitch actually so it would be in the way. Think I might just get one of the hitch flag pole holders

 

check it!

Doesn't apply to all the 2016's apparently but it seems like most everyone with the auto trans qualifies

 

Thanks!

 

No prob, here's another thread where people are talking about the results of the reflash. Everyone's really happy with it, seems like Toyota actually took notice of everyone's concerns and fixed the shifting issues a lot of people were having.

It may still work , but your call. My setup involves a solid thread stuck through the tow ball hole, a washer & bolt on each side of the bumper to hold the thread in place (granted it shakes a little since it isn't a perfect fit), a pipe slid on top of the pipe to add the height which I drew a hole through the pipe & solid thread, stuffed a screw & bolt in there to attach them together, drilled 2 holes higher up on the pipe to attach a flag than
