Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

Also if you guys want to add a section to the doc feel free, maybe a section "do you have a lift, armor, a welder "

 

I'd get at least one shackle too, like this

$30 Smittybilt 13047R D-Ring Shackle 3/4" Threaded Pin 4.75 Ton Rating Red

I really recommend a lift and a beefier than stock IFS skid for White Mtn, without a lift especially there will be some stock skid bashing for sure

 

I mentioned both of those things under the White Mountain Sign Up Header

 

Sweet thx!

 

I don't think I saw it sorry man! Thanks though!
We were camping all weekend for my bday so I had a hard time catching up on notifications when I got back

 

Docs added to first page.

 

No worries. It's the 626 thread.
Where did you go camping?

 

Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Forest, was really cool...tons to see up there

 

I've been up there! I love it!.
Very nice my friend! How was the weather?

 

Hot in the foothills and cold in the mountains lol. Same as here basically, except bees everywhere. Was driving with my window down and enjoying the mountain air when one flew in the truck and stung me on the back, about gave my wife a heart attack when it happened lol

 

n00b question:

is that strap and this one:

Motormic Tow Strap Recovery Kit – 3" x 30ft (30000 lbs.) Rope + 2" Shackle Hitch Receiver + 5/8" Locking Pin + 3/4" D Ring Shackles with Safety Ring + Heavy Duty Bag - Off Road Pick Up Towing

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072V51TRC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 basically the same type of strap?

 

yeah, that's a perfect kit actually...comes with the shackles and a hitch receiver which is the best way to recover from the rear (or to pull someone with). I think we used my hitch receiver on your truck last time we did White Mountain when you were pulling me up.

If you don't have a hitch receiver you have to wrap the recovery strap around the frame or around the rear bumper mount brackets, which is not ideal.

 

yea, thats the kit I have, I was making the sure the strap was appropriate for a recovery. I'm considering buying another strap, maybe a snatch strap, just in case.

 

yeah they call it a 'tow strap' in the description but it's a basic recovery strap, a tow strap has metal hooks on the ends which you definitely don't want.

The best kind of strap is a recovery strap that has some elasticity to it, like a snatch strap. Much easier on both trucks being used in recovery if the strap has some elasticity, especially if you're stuck bad like in mud or something.

 

I might be able to join (if theres space, but I wont be for sure until Friday morning). If I am able, I have a winch, snatch block, few shackles, tow strap and snatch strap, shovel and pulaski

 

No lift or armor. If this place is going to require a lift, armor, etc......then I’m out.

 

I have a small lift, 2.5" or so, and only rock sliders, with the stock skid plate, and I'm going for White Mountain.

 

Just an FYI ...... Bring rain gear and be prepared for some mud
