So are u guys going to actually do the entire trail this time or u just gonna sit at the first hill climb again

 

Lol I don't go further than the circle area with the mound of dirt in the center

 

Lol! I always get to the first tower and try to figure out which one I like best with the best view. Then, once I'm by them all I wonder if I want to go to Refugio. I always stop at the El Capitan Ranch fence and wonder what's up there....

 

Same here haha

 

Well if u guys can wait till 1 I'll join

 

Soooo does anyone have the ability to thread some flip kit plates for the bump stops?

 

Do you mean re thread them?
Or drill them out and thread them?
I feel like you could re thread them with a tap and some time.
If you need to drill into them you could probably just find someone to tack your bumps into place

 

There are just two clean holes in each one, they were never threaded to begin with. Never threaded anything so I assumed you need some piece of equipment I don't have...

 

oh no dont really need any fancy equipment.

TEKTON Tap and Die Set, 39-Piece (Metric) | 7559

thats a complete set, can probably get the size tap you need for under ten bucks at a homedepot/OSH

 

So its actually pretty easy! does anyone have a kit I could borrow? Looks like the cheapest kits come in around $35-40... rather just get someone a beer than buy a full kit.

Thanks for the help @CayucosTacoma!

 

Go buy the individual tap from osh...like 5$ or so then use a vice and a wrench

What size ? I have a few random sizes

 

I've got a couple different sizes of T-Wrenches, but I doubt I have the right size tap. Depends what you need. Should have grabbed it last night. Haha

 

Well, my new truck budget went down significantly...decided to invest in the house a bit. Relandscaping the whole backyard. New dog proof fencing, underground anti-digging fence, leveling, gopher mesh, weed block, decomposed granite and flagstone. Hmmmm, maybe go crazy and put a "garage shed" and side gate big enough to drive back to? Nah...

But I'm still looking for trucks! Three-day weekend and no truck isn't as fun!

 

No grass for the pup!?!

I hated when I had a dirt backyard, had to wash the pup like 3 times a week or else the house would turn into a dustbowl!!

 

Vandenberg Village is mostly sand. So while it is a bit dusty, it's not like regular dirt. I'm going with the decomposed granite because it is dog friendly, but the entire front yard is grass and I constantly take them for walks. I'll spruce it up with large half wine barrel or cement planters.

Also, the long-term plan with this house is to be a rental so this will be more durable for tenants and low maintenance. (Eg: I don't have to pay for a gardener)

 

@CayucosTacoma @anthony250f

What's your plan for today?

 

heading to anthonys in 15 minutes to install new rotors and brake pads, hes tuning his CB and wiring it to the battery and then up to West

 

Im also losing the backyard grass and doing dg with sandstone when I replace my sewar line

 

Sweet. Hopefully my truck is out of the shop by then.

 

Looks like the hole was drilled with a 5/16s bit, so probably a 5/16 or M8 tap.
