i might but after the run to anza with the socal taco guys idk... lol!


Edit: nothing against them personally but it was disorganized chaos and it was very annoying

 

Anza... ?

I didn't make last years trip...but from what I heard there were quite a few mini camps and then Allpro camp..

Definately going this year and looking to have a blast

 

for example. we lost trucks, people were scattered. and when stopping for lunch or at the beginning or end of trails they stopped and made their own little circle for lunch,

it took hours to do minutes worth of trails...

 

Congrats man and good luck with the new job. Not as much tw time though

 

congrats.
Maybe the Manager interviewing thought you were homeless and in need of a job.



very cool man

 

haha, that happened to us(brandonh,ebrudah,SiRMarlon,dtrujillo63, Ackerlight, and myself) a few years ago. We got left behind from the beginning while we were waiting for their own group to fuel up...we ended up babysitting a few and helped with some recoveries...sucks trying to recover a taco that had no recovery points whats so ever. Fun times

 

So where did you hook to if the vechicle had no recovery points??

 

We had no choice but to wrap the strap around the frame at the base of the bumper since his rear was buried all the way to his axle housing, he was also in a tight sandy canyon where we couldn't get a vehicle in front of him even tho we tried with two different tacos. The strap inadvertently bent his bumper up and we got shit for that. Other choice was to not help and just leave him like the original group did... we don't do that in my group

 

so you pulled him out and he gave you shit? shoulda ripped his bumper off

 

or told him to call AAA

 

funny thing was..at first he was cool with everything because he was there of course. But when pics of the recovery were posted by SiRMarlon and with him mentioning the bumper was bent during the process. Some peeps started talking shit and then this guy kinda changed him mind as well. But this happened like in 2009 and everyone is cool now. I even helped that guy out several months later when his rear wheel fell off on the Santiago trail by giving him my AAA for a free tow. Come to think about, I never got a thank-you for that.

 

ugh

HBMurphy gave me his 200 mile tow this january, and I gave him my stock lower control arm when his broke. Its all Karma

 

i come across this issue before. IS the worst place to pull a person from is the axle correct?? what about the leaf spring???

 

Platinum plus status with the AAA is the shit

 

i have the highest one 200 miles a tow.

 

Anywhere where its not going to cause damage to the strap . On the leaf spring shackle would be ideal but i think that's what you mean

 

yea i meant the leaf spring shackle. IS that somewhat a strong point????

 

the best way is to hook to frame or hitch if you dont have a good bumber with tow point. i try to never connect to any suspension but in a bind the leaf shackle can work

 

I've used that as a point on my MonkeyCrawler several times without issues so yeah it would be
