LOS ANGELES OFF-ROAD COMMUNITY

They never get hot enough to start warping at all ?

 

What kind of wheeling is it? Crawling? Dirt roads? High speed? Sand?

 

Naw they're made out some type of tempered stainless steel (can't recall off the top). I've literally had half the tub full of red hot coals.

Just watch out when you buy because some models had ceramic tubs.

 

Good questions, I know the answer to none lmao

 

Are you going to make it to Anzo Borrego!?If so i have to talk to you about something we discussed at the Rock & Brews meet.

 

I'm trying my best. Got to see what the gf is doing that weekend, I don't think she will stand for a bunch of guys and their trucks. Maybe just Saturday or just Sunday.

 

Not sure if I'm leaving Friday or Saturday I'll let you guys know !

 

!You guys are all family to me so i liked to help out as much as i can and set up TW meets/events cause it's simply a blast and i want us all to have fun!
Yes your taller and the beard looks great!I might be shaving my beard off before Anzo Borrego!I've had it for over 7yrs and kinda need a break!We'll see!

 

Ok cool!Not sure either if my lady is going to go either for somewhat the same reasons.Hope you make it somehow!

 

Don't shave it. Rock it! If I could grow it out thick I would. But I end looking like some old shoalin master mofo. Hahaha

 

After watching some videos of people wheeling in the park, it is all of the above.

There are some roads that are very sandy that we will need to air down for but most are dirt and don't even require airing down. A few of the trails get rocky at parts but never really crawling. Some steep dirt roads that some of the trucks had issues with. 1 pretty deep water crossing with a lot of shallow ones. Should be fine for any of the rigs.

INFO FROM @bjs045
Also, AB is the only national park in CA that you can still free camp (in designature areas). There are reserved camp locations too. Which have shitters and showers. Reserve America website should have what's available.

#1 rule is leave no trace.

#2 you have to bring a fire pit in. You CANNOT dig a pit. We took an old stainless steel washer drum. From the size of this group you may need 2. I bought a mix of Pine and Eucalyptus from South Bay Firewood on Rosecrans in Hawthorne. Bring a shit load 3/4 of my short bed was just wood.

I have a link below with directions from McDonald's at Weir Canyon Road to Fish Creek Primitive Campground (restroom).

From here we'll need to drive in and locate a decent camp location and probably air down a bit. If the same spot is open from my trip in Dec. that will be great. Could literally fit unlimited trucks. Hope this is a bit more informative.

this happened today
I put my switches here but I need to get a new cover now, to appropriately match the pods, as shown taped to the rock light switch Pods only Pods and headlights Pods, headlights, fogsHeadlights, fogs, no pods My headlights and fogs are super bright 55watt hid's so the pods get drowned out lol, but the are very bright, so don't think they arnt, blame my headlights, not the pods

 

Looks good. Angle the pods to your sides at about a 40 degree angle. You'll thank me when turning in the dark.

 

im planning to put more pods on for that purpose lol on the roof

 

Nice. I'm planning on running some roof lights eventually. Unfortunately lights will be the later part of my build.

 

yeah im kinda going backwards on my build lol

 

Haha I did that on the Tacoma! I just don't have anywhere to mount lights right now. I'm struggling with the tinted windows at night though. I'll probably put some lights on the roof rack down the line. I won't put a bar until I get a new front bumper.

 

yeah i need my roof rack asap lol
