2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

You want to help put on a lift or go to rowher? Lol

 

lol I wouldn't let myself put in my own lift. My mechanical skills are limited to ikea furniture.

 

That shit is more difficult than our trucks! It also a good marriage test, if you and your girlfriend can put one together as a team (get married) or fight constantly and only one person assembles it (DON'T DO IT).

 

I'm likely in for the trip (will confirm over the w'end). Yes, please get that radio before then. I'm anxious to try mine out.

 

Unfortunatley my wife won't let me get a girlfriend. I already asked. Lol jk

Also unfortunately I had to build the IKEA stuff myself. Bypassed the fight. I was very well supervised during the assembly though.

 

Oh so Rohwer sounds like fun if I get freed up.

 

OK. Let me know. Anybody else want in?? Your welcome to join. I. Need to pick up leaf pins and see about renting or buying a spring compressor to adjust the billstiens if necessary. Which I am sure they will need to be.

 

I'm installing new bushings on my tc a arms tomorrow... I didn't grease them before tightening the bolt.. xD they are now blown and bulging. And hopefully the gear shop gets my new diff put together before next weekend, it's depends if they can get the new gears to work, fingers crossed!

 

You can rent a spring compressor from o really for free, just leave a deposit! I live in East county and have a set if you wanna have a mod day? xD

 

That would be great. Just got the pins for the leaf pack. Just missing spring compressor.

 

Just got off the phone with the dealer, since my wife just advised me they have been calling. They were calling in regards to the 10k service, not the recall as she thought. I asked about the recall and there is no remedy as of yet for leaking differentials. If it's not leaking they retorque and send you on your way. They will be keeping mine because it's seeping. She will stay clear of the dealer for now. This is starting to suck, but let's go wheeling anyway.

 

wait so is the 2wd meet on the 11th gonna be in big bear or leghorn? cause if its big bear i'd go up saturday evening and camp

 

Not sure, I am the rookie and don't know what's best. So I am looking for input. I know a bunch of the rookies that have lockers want to give them a try.

 

Ahh not looking good, was hoping to get out of the wife's friends get together.

 

Lol, not likely

 

Yeah I'll just have to wait till the 11th to get out. I got my hopes up when I heard one of the other husbands was trying to bail. I guess we both failed.

 

@YotaGurlIAm we can do vista trail and joshua trail there is easy, moderate and difficult all in the same trail and can camp at cactus flats

 

Jacoby canyon in big bear is a fun one. 2wd doable and challenging. Without a locker we may need someone to hop out and bounce on a rear bumper. A stock 2wd open diff 1st gen made it so we can all make it.

 

Oh yea, now we're talkin'

 

Cactus flats? Where's that? Sounds good to me!
