Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

Yep that'll work

 

You didnt get my bday tag?

 

Tight.....I'll get them...that should be all for now then right?

 

Here is the doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O4RfBTxcQG5TavdVMYJqktMz3i-PZyEmnjZJCO8Lgn8/edit?usp=sharing

I think that if your name isnt on here somewhere by late Friday (9ish) than we can safely assume you won't be joining us... Once we get a more concrete list of people, it might be helpful to make a PM group chat where we can exchange phone #'s just in case someone on the list goes MIA.

If you need to add another row to add your name to the table on the google doc just right click it and press add row.
@schecter517 if its possible, can you add the google doc to the first page so it is easy to find?

 

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

$35 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:

$95 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.
