Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

You riding a donkey? Cool!

Sucks on the gas tank. I'm like you though, $100 deductible on comprehensive is cheap.

For those thinking of wheeling in the forests, don't forget about the unpaved forest road bans from Jan 1 - March 31. Not sure if that is just El Dorado forest or not (I think so).

 

What bans?

 

What fireworks?

 

I'm assuming this... http://sf.funcheap.com/san-francisco-new-years-eve-fireworks/

 

Here's the snipet from the forest service website... http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/eldorado/home/?cid=stelprdb5357470

Seasonal Closure
All dirt roads and trails are closed to motor vehicle use between January 1 and March 31. If roads or trails are wet and susceptible to damage then the Seasonal closure will go into effect early or run longer until they dry. This closure is intended to protect water quality and prevent rutting and damage to these roads and trails. Approximately 600 miles of paved and gravel roads are not affected by the closure. The Rock Creek area near Georgetown has its own seasonal closure policy and procedures.

 

The ruins are that of gold-rush-era mining town. Only the stone foundations have survived. Its about a 30-minute walk from the Browns Ravine parking lot, from what I heard. You cannot drive onto the lake bed from that access.

Today, the wife and I may explore the lake bed on the other side, using the Granite Bay access. You can get legally drive onto the lake bed over there. I think there are lesser ruins, like of isolated miner's cabins .

EDIT: Looks like she wants to walk out to the town ruins this morning.

 

Spotted t.hornstra at 4 wheel parts today.Nice to meet you!! And nice truck!

 

I gotta go talk to him soon....I really want a lift

 

Jason and I might do little wheeling tomorrow if anybody interested in south Lake Tahoe.

 

It might be cheaper piecing one together.What are your plans for lift??

 

Billys all around. Lift springs up front. and an AAL in the rear. 3 inches is good enough for me

 

You can have my trd sport coils

 

Anyone have a black DC with ARB bumper at the 7-11 on Kennedy in Alameda tonight around 7:30? Made me do a double take...and triple take. Looked like maybe rockstar wheels without the center.

 

Really!!!! Will those provide a lift with the Billy's?

Your the man! Patron? Lol... I have this huge bottle of tequila that my pops brought from mexico....I'm not a tequila guy...Jameson, captain Morgan, or red label for me!! Ahhh yes!

 

Im not sure if the coils will work but looking at some quick research my stock coils are 520 spring rate and they measure at 14 3/8" unloaded witch is 20lb per sq in heaver then ome880 and about the same height. ome 880 is 500lb 14.37" Im not sure on the inside dia .I wonder if anyone has tried it or what kind of lift they would give. hmm

 

hmmm, ill have to do some research...I still have time...Thanks bro!!

Cant wait for tomorrow!!!

 

Damn it getting older kinda sucks
