Stay safe dude!

 

Be safe dude! Are you on a strike team?

My buddy is somewhere out there too. Engine 217 from St. Helena

 

Yeah dude stay safe!!!

 

It's a 5" shackle that is part of the 63 swap kit. You have to weld up a whole new rear leaf hanger.

 

^thanks fellers! Yeah I'm out here on a type 1 strike team, just laid 2k of hose up the side of that awesome hill... 850 feet of elevation change in 2k feet. Then fired the whole thing off. Pretty bitchin assignment considering most of the rigs out here are stuck in staging or babysitting million dollar mansions...

I've fought a lot of fires in my 10+ years on the job, but the view from the line last night might have been the best ever...

 

Thank you for your service.

 

the work you guys do is pretty damn amazing. definitely gonna buy you hella beers next time i see you.

 

Selling my ALLPRO +2 LT kit.
Comes with everything you need to install on a prerunner. 4x4 will require new Axle shafts.
You will receive
Upper and Lower arms
Fox resi coilovers with 700 pound coils
Steering extensions
Extended Brake lines
New Limit Straps

I added the limit straps to this kit. It does not come from allpro with limit straps and I broke an axle flexing the truck the first day.

The kit has wear. Its been used. I suggested new bushings in the arms before installing. The shocks are in good shape no leaks. The coil overs and arms have scratches from wheeling but work great.

I wanted to give you guys first dibs before posting on instagram or craigslist.

Looking for $2,300.

 

my Kings deliver tomorrow, will be Jeff slummin with the zip tie resi mod until i either weld on the resi mounts or King ships replacements. Excited to have my van back.

 

I remember claiming these when u installed them, but I'll have to pass. Glws.

 

Lisa said you enjoyed riding in the rig though on slickrock. Thought the test drive might sell you

 

Dude, seriously. How often to you get to do what you do in a cool coastal fog?

 

several short sections of 2x6 stacked can help, i carry'm

 

I did. It rides nice on the trail. It would have sold me, but I have no $.

 

Was keeping my fingers crossed for my relatives who have cabins in the White Rock Gun Club. I guess the crews worked like hell to save the Club, as I'm told the fire worked around, and then bypassed the area. The fire was right near several cabins on the western edge. Though still not out of danger if wind changes.

 

best map is this https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v...mbed&ie=UTF8&mid=1ZpcZ8OMZh1G1XwRmt9GaCwH6f-g zoom in on the fire just south of Monterey, and switch to the 'satellite' view to see landmarks such as the White Rock Gun Club area. Thsi map was updated this morning.

its also burning quite close to Rancho San Carlos, and isn't much over a mile or so from Cachagua.

 

Stay safe out there man. I know my Brother almost got called out to it but missed it I guess.

 

Unless I'm doing something wrong, the map I see hasn't been updated since the 26th. I first saw this map on the 27th. Was hoping for daily updates.

 

that google map has been updated daily, the burn zone has been growing on the south and eastern fronts, by a lot. Boy Scout Camp Pico Blanco, on the Little Sur River, the fire has burned within 1000 feet of the camp, which they are trying really hard to save.

you can see the areas of the most active burn as of this AM on this satellite view as red dots (IR anomaly based fire detection from the MODIS satellites)

unluckily the smoke obscures the ground so you can't see whats already burned.
