Jan 30/31 Snow or Mud trip

Now you gotta tell us the story

 

It's alright it will be my 2nd time out ever

 

Just realized I'm gonna be the only 2wd there

 

Hey Justin did you ever get that tool like the tow truck guy had?

I just picked up the set from my Snap on guy, was alittle pricey at $70 but that came with the 2 piece rod,hand pump air bag, 2 wedges and a case.

This trip sounds fun. to bad I half to work I would be down with going with you guys.

 

Ok fine, if I have to. lol. So a couple of weeks ago we all went up to cow. We took the fire road up to the top of red mountain to the 4x4 obstical(huh, firefox says that's not spelled right but everything else says it is.) course. We were up there watching this guy:

Well then we all decided to hit the trails so my gf goes to get in my truck...she says the door is locked. So im thinking hmm, usually all cars will auto lock the passenger door. So i go to the drivers side and sure enough, its locked. And i can see my keys dangling in the ignition. So long story short we waited what seemed like days for AAA to bring a full on flatbed tow truck to the top of the hill.

 

Fail

To make a long story short he locked his keys in his truck on top of the mountain and waited an hour and a half for AAA to come up there and get them out.

 

Ouch that blows man, but at least that was the only reason why AAA had to come out

 

Do you have the breather mod?

 

no breather mod yet, we are gonna try and get the parts today and take care of it tomorrow. hopefully we can get it done, do you guys think of it as a kinda "must do" with all the mud and water up there???

 

Oh ya, one of the guys that went up a couple weeks ago blew his rear diff because of water/mud.

 

I think it's a must do if you plan on doing any wheeling/mudding. I didn't do it when I was in Hollister last time but I'm getting it done because I don't wanna have to deal with the $3k damages that could happen. If you don't get it done I don't think it's gonna hurt you as long as you stay clear of the actual water hole but if you can get the parts and get it done then I would say do it.

I was there last time it happened and it doesn't look pretty.

 

ok thanks guys, im definatly gonna try and get it done

 

It's supposed to be cloudy in Hollister throughout the weekend.

 

hey guys im running into some problems getting all the stuff for the breather mod, im not sure what kind or size of in line fuel filter i should get?? and also what kind of 8 ft rubber fuel line should i get because at autozone they had some that was 6.99 a foot and that seemed way to expensive considering everyone was saying this mod is semi inexpensive, any help would be appriciated. thanks

 

Where do you live? You are meeting at mcdonalds right?

 

no rain through weekend in hollister eventhough raining in SF right now! gunna be a great weekend

 

you should be fine without the breather...if you look at my sig ive gone through my share of mud pits and been fine without the breather even though im doing the mod tonight lol just dont get stuck in a mud pit or stop and you would be fine lol

 

coming from monterey and yeah we are gonna meet up at mcdonalds
