Long Travel BS Thread

For 2 days, 5 or 10 gallons of gas, recovery gear, at least one if not 2 full size spares, normal camping gear (will be warm so no 20 degree bags), 2meter radio, assortment of tools and nuts/bolts.

 

what is a 2meter radio?

edit: derp. googled it. thought it was a slang term you guys were using

 

Those who work with a lot of 2nd gens would have a good idea.

I know DMZ Tim has a specific valve rate that he uses for 2nd gen trucks with bypasses. Never bothered to ask the specific shim size cause the front works so well with the new revalved bypasses (for what im doing). But 2.5x8 bypasses out of the box need to be revalved for 2nd gens. I know he has consulted PRG Greg for valving for 2nd gen trucks, who i believe used to valve shocks for Matt Helton. give him a call.

Anyways, my shocks are leaking oil and im planning on rebuilding. Does anybody know where I can get my Nitrogen tank filled? Other places only exchange tanks, they dont fill up.

 

Westair?

its cool, i got us looped north of the marine playground, transmission road all the way up past I-40, where we will dink around and go east, and swoop down Amboy Rd

 

Ok cool, thats about what I had figured. I'll start gathering needed items, maybe go on one of these runs next year. Sounds like it'd be an awesome time. Thanks guys.

 

Airgas. Or places that do fire estinguishers.

 

There's another marine logistical base in that area as well ..need to check those boundaries too..and to think they want another 740.000 plus acres of land

 

We get ours for work filled at cal tool and welding supply in riverside on main st. They will fill it on the spot

 

Hey corey, any idea on how much to refill a 20lb bottle mines almost empty.

 

Let me ask

 

As long as its not due for hydro test its like 15 bucks

 

New loop to avoid the Marine training grounds:





New course is approximately 200 miles total in the dirt

 

Acutally Airgas (orange, ca) is one of the places i called and they said they only do exchanges on tanks.

I'll most likely be posting up rebuild Q's on here when I start. Already watch the youtubes.

Thanks, I called them they said they would fill up a 15# for $13.

 

So it will be closer to $20 cause they will add on a hazmat charge on the end

 

If you you socal guys want something challenging you guys could always run the ridgcrest race cousre. I know sdhq has the map file from the very first race we did.

 

Ridgecrest is way too far away to dink around in, compared to Barstow and Lucerne who both have very challenging race courses.

It's not always about challenging courses though, as Logan once said, most of the fun is in exploring. We have so many abandoned mines here in Socal, and so many old mine roads and service roads that lead to Nevada and so many other places. Just check out the Mojave road threads.

 

Ah, wasn't sure what you alls goal was with your trip. Nor do I know how far stuff is for you guys. I know risgcrest is 8 hours from my house. I know what you mean when explore. That's what ever az wheeling trip is for us.

 

Wow, I need to proof read when on my phone
