------- 1st Annual t.w. GLAMIS TRIP oct. 19-21st-------

Hahahaha. I want to fly around glamis in Jeff or Jerry's truck. Now that's a prize! How about it?

 

RJ
Cory
Alex

you guys cool meeting at that gas station? Bryan, how are you getting to the 10E? should we meet you farther East on the 10?

 

for people that need air we usually have a air compressor you guys can use, and if people get really stuck we dont mind pullin some trucks out with the buggys either, people in the dunes are cool like that haha well be up friday am i have to drive to havasu thursday night get the buddies and chick and im out

 

you know the saying......"Gas, Grass or Ass"....and they both are bringing plenty of fuel and they dont smoke weed......soooo.....

 

cant wait to see RJ's walk of shame from the Engage trailer at 5 in the morning

 

Should be fine

 

HAHAHAHA.
Nevermind. My truck will be just fine..

 

I don't know about that. The gas prices seem to be more expensive than that other stuff. One of the BeeHive guys told me about the girls on Holt Ave they seemed to be cheaper than 5 gallons of 91.

thats true..haha

 

Yeah Brennan I go 91 to 215 to the 60 (thru moreno valley and the canyon before beaumont) Then it merges on to the 10 Freeway until you hit the 86
Let me know what time you are leaving and we will meet up along the highway or something

 

Yes I can dune some in my truck. But I dont go too deep in the big dunes.
My currie 9 inch with 6:00 gears and locker does help!
But in general I like to hold the motherfu*ker wide open on the fun prerunner trails. But I never get stuck because my truck is super light and this old man has been driving in dunes since 1996

 

Well $400 later and my brakes still arnt fixed yet throwing a master cylinder at it in the morning then I give up

 

Im probably gonna get stuck a couple times. im 4x4 but its out of commission for now.. oh well though im still gonna drive it though!

 

Been preparing the truck all week for this so far. Stoked/excited for this trip! I'll be showing up friday night after everyone

 

Did some gnarr Braaapp testing today gettin ready for the dunes!
Houstan we have lift off!


ABORT! Malfunction to lift off!!

 

Works for me. 10:30am should be fine if not a tad earlier

Ouch! And I thought my wiring issues were frustrating

 

HELP!!

So I went at it today and did my lights. I wired up 3 hella 500 converted to 55w hid. I used one relay and each ballast has it's own ground wire. Problem is when I fire it up only the middle one lit up....so I swapped out one of the side ones with a forth light I had, and tried again...just the side one fired and not middle or other side!!! Swap side light that worked to other side and it fired but only that one! What the f! Is three lights two much to run off one relay? Do I need a separate relay for the third light? Why would a different one work each time? Almost like first one to fire was taking all the juice? So pissed spent all day getting it ready for Thursday glamis run! At least the rear amber came out fine....any suggestions or help? I'm bringing extra ballasts and the extra light as well as some electrical parts(wire,connectors,etc) if some with a lil knowledge can help a guy out

Also filled up my whole bed with firewood!!! Thank wildlandtaco -Juan!

 

I passed by the Mobil we're meeting at..it's a little confusing by that map but when you exit Overland from the 10E, you'll turn right onto Overland and you'll see the Mobil on the left. Getting back on the fwy will be easier.

 

Depending on the relay, 3 lights could be too much, it takes extra power to "ignite" the HIDs compared to a regular light. Try hooking them straight to your battery to test that they work, then work your way up to the switches/relays.
Personally, I would run a good switch and no relay, but not three on one switch
