2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

Looks perfect

 

It's a tad off to the right, but fat finger couldn't get it in to that edge

 

You're official!

 

Are you sure you're not a certified decal installer?

 

LOL gosh no, I have incredible ocd and if it ain't straight it will just eat at me. Lol

 

Sorry, man. You won't be seeing me for a while. Got some non wheeling things to attend to.

 

So I'm waking up, getting the morning rolling. I start checking on my arrivals for the day..

... 6 minutes later:

"Houston, we have a problem".

There goes the radio plans for this weekend.

 

Gotta do what you gotta do. Hope all is well dude

 

Hey greg, was just thinking about you. Hope you and the family are well.

 

Greg... hope all is well. Let me know if I can help in any way!

 

That is just a conversation I do not want to have with an officer!

 

Bummer

 

If the wife wants quite for mothers day I will be heading to Mt Luken trail to explore a little.

 

Out at rowher exercising the truck.

 

Thanks for the invite bro

 

How was it. I want to go!

 

Sorry guys was a spur of the moment thing has been an interesting as to say the least. I started it off by working. Had a pool to go look at for a friend out in Calabasas then I was off to my chiropractors house to look at his pool and change out some seals on a valve along with installing the stack top on his heater. Had to run by lowes to exchange a part,so parked in the lot next to an old Jeep Grand wagoner, the one with the fake wood paneling on the outside. The jeep had seen better days and my son had to make his comments and wonder what type of jeep it was. I explained what it was and we went inside to exchange our part, which they didn't have they part I needed so I just returned the part I didn't need. We walk back out to my truck and there is a guy pushing a dolly cart with what appears to be a frame of some kind and a large door with a mirror in the center. Weven get near the truck and Cadon runs around to the passenger side of my truck and the guy pushing the cart goes to the jeep parked next to us and opens the back. As cadon gets in my truck he says hey dad what's all this green fluid on the ground? I peek over and look and the jeep apparently lost its radiator while we were in the store. I mention it to the guy and then also helped him load his 2 large items into his truck and offer to follow him home to make sure his heep gets there OK. He said no he only lived a couple of blocks away, so we shook hands and parted ways and all I could think of was his jeep wanted to have a pissing contest with my taco. Went to the docs house and fixed the issues and since the doc only lives like 15-20 minutes from rowher I thought what the hell... started around 4 and just got home. Was about 3 hours of exploring and testing. Did come across a couple of issues. 1 trhetoric battery looks like it leaked from the caps and 2 I tried going up an incline (let's just call it that) roughly 45 degrees or more and the truck piddled out and would not go any further up. I forgot to put it in reverse and just kind of letting it roll backwards, it got about 25 to 30 feet then stalled out. It was supposed to be a small run but seemed to take forever. Next time guys I promise, plus I was just making up for the miserable time I had out there a couple of weeks ago trying to camp with a few guys. I have more pictures. Oh and @BAMFTACO lookout mountain is what we were watching that night with that one truck backing down that hill like 6 times, I get it now. We tried and didn't get even close to where he got, that hill is crazy steep. I have video of my attempt,

 

Yeah I had to find it.... entrance to that road is behind stage one. I went about half way up and found a few obstacles along the way. One took me 3 tries but I got up it (small hills leading to a plateau but also had bypasses). The second one almost made on the second try but start to really smoke the tires so I backed off as I was by myself. It was a fun road, even lost my nuts on it.
I keep a bag of lug nuts with the spare as the lug nuts are different from the aftermarket wheels.

 

It's cool I wouldn't have been able to go today, but sounds like you had a chance to check the place out for a future planned run

 

Here is the failed attempt up lookout mountain black Diamond side. Made it about 1/10 of the way lol
