2018 Nor Cal Wheeling, Camping and BS

WD-40 is your friend

 

fuck, i moved onto brake cleaner lol

Edit: used brake cleaner for my lug nuts, not my wheels. Soaking in WD40 overnight for the rims.

 

hella of a find there. I have always wanted to build one. They are hard to find at a good price now-days.

 

We could organize our own, much smaller event. That thing looks like a circus.

 

We would want someone available who has run the trail. And not a cluster fuck of 15 trucks

 

I wouldn't care if its a cluster fuck if someone else was cooking me dinner @ $50 a plate ,lol. Those events are crazy but they provide a lot of stuff you don't get in a private group.
Lets do it. im almost ready. just need some 3/16"aluminum sheet to finish the bumper. should be done by end of week.
Bummed i missed this weekends trip. But im just not ready.

 

Anyone recommend some cool stuff to check out with my GF out in Santa Cruz? Headed there tomorrow. Interested in nature, breweries, walking around and bullshitting. Not too interested in boardwalk activities unless its a last resort.

 

10/10 will get wasted and cook people food if a rubicon trip goes down (my truck aint makin it)

 

Boardwalk. Steamers-surf spot. Wilder Ranch.

 

Walk the cliffs. West side or east side. Both have paved paths and plenty of people watching. St adarius brewery. Go hike in wilder ranch or Nisene. If you like sushi, hit up happy hour at Akira on Soquel.

 

And how good is that food going to be if you're wasted?

 

Oh, itl be good. Maybe not $50 a plate good, more like $10-20 dollar a plate good lol

 

Lets do it. Tacomaworld take over on the con.

 

How was your trip? Thinking I might end up camping somewhere in that area this weekend. Is it usually packed at the Bowman area?

 

Speaking of Rubicon, I'm thinking about tagging along with my B.I.L. and nephews in their jeeps. I've never been thru the Rubicon in anything before. My truck is W I D E with 33's, sliders, 4x4 and elocker. Will I have any issues? They are very experienced jeepers. It's something on my bucket list so I wanted to try.

 

exactly how wide? some areas get fairly tight.

 

TC 3.5", I think it's 85, 87, 92, I don't remember.

 

Your sliders and skids will get put to work. You may get some rock rash on your rims. I've only ridden in the passenger seat through it. I've heard Cadillac hill is known for breaking halfshafts so I'd definitely take a spare. Or go in from the Tahoe side and turn around at Cadillac. But you should have lots of fun.

 

Its going to be hard for you to stay out the gas.lol
Full size trucks and stock jeeps can do it so can we.

 

I watched a stock Jeep jk go through two weeks ago and he was struggling like hell. He had a spotter for every inch of the trail and they said it took so long they were a day behind. If you have some spare parts, skids and sliders you’ll be okay.
