Danny, how rare to find are those FJ Steelie caps to find? And how to they look installed? They're not mandatory, right? Basically a hub cap like the Tacoma caps?

 

I won't be off from work until 5.

Yeah, no idea why they took that away from the spares. Probably cost savings haha. I like having all 5 as well, it's just nice reassurance knowing if my tires start to get low and I don't notice my truck will tell me.

 

Well Mike won't get home till like 5:30ish, does Sara have school Friday?

 

Roger. The guy I'm talking to says he has the 5 center caps that go with them for an additional 50 duckets. I'm waiting on a photo of them

 

Damn why do we always reply at the same time!

 

Roger. I always say it'll only take a few hours at Jason's but then things start happening and we're breaking for lunch and dinner and then I'm there till dark. CMC is all that's going down this time...5:30 sounds appropriate to make this happen. I have to wait for traffic to die down anyhow. Sara is off tomorrow but is hanging back. She want to handle some things around the house. She's all motivated to square away the house. I'm not complaining.

 

Interested in center caps also? I have 4 of them you can have

 

Haha no problem! We'll see her soon anyway! Just hit either one of us up when you're all wrapped up Jason's

 

I don't really need them, but I appreciate it! Maybe hand them off to someone who might want them more

 

holy crap, I totally forgot about the Big Bear trip coming up....I haven't even seen the thread in weeks. Should still be good to go, I think I had a spot with Mike @Mike likes Tacos

Someone have a link to the thread for the trip? I can't seem to find it

 

Ah, okay that's what it was. I was looking for a thread on Big Bear specifically, thanks

 

Good looking out. Had to stop myself at page 10 or I'd be there for days. Ha

 

Yewwwwww

 

Anyone need upper arms? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/all-pro-uca-group-buy-closes-9-31.450992/#post-13225137

 

I saw that. Very good deal there.

 

NotaRubicon is hosting a day trip through Old Dale Mining District on Saturday. I should be there and it's going to be awesome. Posting the details as a comment for mobile users:
This will be an easy/beginner run on mostly dirt mining roads that any stock 4x4 can do. There are sandy roads, rocky areas, a few shelf roads, and one or two mildly steep climbs.

We will start the day in Indio/Cochella and head toward the Cottonwood Springs entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. After making our way through the park on paved roads we will hit the dirt at Old Dale Rd and air-down (mostly to just smooth-out the ride on the bumpy roads). We will then head across Pinto Basin toward the Old Dale Mining District.

We will travel through a rocky wash to the Rose of Peru Mine, the Gold Standard Mine and Brooklyn Mines. Explorers in the group will enjoy checking out each of these large mines.

After Brooklyn Mine we will then head into the Pinto Mountains, stopping first at Sunset Mine, otherwise known as "The Flag Building" for some photos. We will then head further into the Pinto Mountains making a stop at the Golden Egg Mine before traveling over the mountain ridge and into the heart of the Old Dale Mining District and on to Doberman Mountain Road and the Supply Mine area, stopping to take a look at the remaining foundations and exploring one of the (horizontal) shafts. Depending on the size of the group we may then continue on to Lorman Mine only a few miles away - a HUGE and rarely visited mine, complete with remains of buildings and other relics, but more difficult to reach.

The day will end, likely around dusk at the intersection of Gold Crown Road and Highway 62 in Twentynine Palms where we will air back up and say our goodbyes.

A few notes about this run:
*The weather man says it will be warm - in the range of 85°F - 95°F. Be sure to dress appropriately and bring plenty of water.

*This run will likely take all day and probably will not finish until dusk, possibly even after dark. Bring lunch, snacks, and more snacks for dinner.

*There are no bathrooms along this entire route. Be prepared to make use of bushes and rocks.

*Not everyone will want to hike up to the actual mines and/or not everyone will want go inside the mines so there will be plenty of fun and socializing back at the Jeeps while the explorers do their exploring. If you do plan to explore the mines don't forget your flashlights!

*MINES ARE DANGEROUS PLACES*
Please keep children and animals supervised at all times. If you enter a mine, you do so at your own risk.
