15th Annual SoCal / TW Superstition Trip Jan 24 to Jan 26 2025

Multi purpose use

 

@Titus94 probably has some astroglide. Same same

 

Or when the old big tent broke because of high winds and not camping against hills at TDS last year
Now the real question, do I get a tent with a sleeping pad or join the Overlanders and get a cheap RTT

Former mechanic was constantly trying to convince me to buy a plastic shield for the engine bay to keep out mud. I asked him if he really thought it would hold up to off-roading and dents from rocks, the look on his face

 

Join us peasants the ground makes thy humble and do night runs with liquid courage

 

Funny enough both stories end with the tent getting tied to my truck to try and keep it from blowing over

there’s also the last trip to Johnson where I said het lets go camp on the north side of the lake bed where no one can go fast and we don’t get dusted out then Devon get mad at me for accidentally dusting out camp

Or get a 4runner and sleep in the back like a king and never have to worry about setup or tear down

 

In other news, I nearly just had my Superstition dreams crushed by a drunk driver nearly hitting me head on in the truck. How’s everyone else’s night going?

 

Hahaha that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. Been meaning to get a small tent for easy setup and storage

But I don’t fit in the 4Runner because I’m not short like you . Although that is one good reason why I like the 1st gen tundra access cabs, nice big bed

Lovely. My new commute has made me realize how stupid people drive on the 405 during traffic hours

 

You haven’t laid in the back of my 4runner? I’m pretty sure you fit well, especially if you go diagonally. I mean hell you slept in access cab taco for years. I’m sure a 4runner is less cramped

I think I’d take the 405 over this. Its a lot easier to avoid the accident when the car isn’t headed straight at you from the front. I actually thought she was gonna get me

 

Tried back of a 3rd gen, pass. Was she in a Subaru?

 

2nd gen is a little better. Back seats are further forward because Toyota didn’t care about passenger comfort yet

And I just realized the connection you just made, and yeah, it was a FUCKING SUBARU

 

I’m gonna go buy a wrx lol

 

I legitimately didn’t think about that until you said something. God I fucking hate subarus

oh and fyi this one was a forester

 

This time next week I'll be on the road instead of sitting here at the office.

 

Holy shit, that snuck up quick.

 

This trip always pops up quick. January seems to fly by for me.

 

My dumbass thought it was another week out.

 

You coming down Bob?

 

Absotively! You going to make it out?

 

Sucky thing is my air mattress is leaking. Anybody have extra room in their tent I can snuggle up with?

 

Usually weekends seem to meld together trying to get things prepared for the trip.
