NorCal Annual camping trip July 2012

In! Is this the same please we camped at last year?

 

No this it North East and about 2000ft higher.

 

unless you guys gonna carry me, my fat ass aint hiking up no mountain top. unless there is cake at the top then i'll think about it.

 

I'll tell you what I'll put a cake on my back pack for some motivation just follow me

 

lets see them pics...?

 

Here ya go. The first one was when he and I went. I stepped out and landed on my ass because it was so steep. The others (multiple jeeps) were when he went up with a couple of others. Transfer case on a jeep disengages when the motor shuts off (they learned that the hard way on this hill). Can't remember exactly how it happened, but suffice it to say that hubby got out of the vehicle on the hill to spot some rocks himself, wife in passenger seat leaned over to shut engine off when he asked her to, pregnant daughter (?) in rear seat. When it started rolling backwards, he tried to jump in and was thrown quite a ways when it started flipping. Flipped something like 6 or 8 times. Wife and pregnant lady were both airlifted to Reno. Survived, but were in the hospital for a very long time.

 

my lord thats tragic, just the thought of having to watch a wife and daughter roll down that in my rig is horrifying.
I've never heard of a t-case disengaging when motor turns off, that had to of been a mechanical failure or accental bump outa 4x. and if not jesus what are the advantages of building it like that???i see none, only potential disasters like this.

 

what kinda transfer case disengage when the motor is off? freaking american technology!

 

I'm 99% sure this isn't the case, i've driven/crawled a rubicon edition wrangler in 4low and this didn't happen when i turned off the motor. In fact i was able to turn it on while in 1st gear and 4low without pressing in the clutch(6speed manual) and it continued to crawl up the hill effortlessly.

 

Is this a family friendly event? (unlike the south lake tahoe trip) lol

 

haha... depends on who goes

 

Whats up JLee and everyone else.i realize that i dont know any of you guys and that i am new TW but if its cool with everyone i would love to tag along on this camping trip with you guys.

 

I don't know about me... I have alot of stuff planned the first of the summer but If I do... the latest period possible works for me...

 

Heck yes! You should come. We have a wheeling trip to Holister in a few weeks. You should come meet us all and make sure you like us before you spend a whole week with us and realize you don't like us. No but in all seriousness all the guys in Nor Cal are a lot of fun and chill.

 

Anyone is welcome to any NorCal meet. I've been on forums with snooty members, this aint one of them

 

i met you at the park last time, the annual camping trip is a blast.

 

I feel all the meets are family friendly. I don't think this would be an exception, right Jerry? Everyone is chill and respectful...except Eric

Come out man. Always cool to meet new members. Yeah check the norcal section for upcoming meets.


BTW, count me in! What ever date you guys choose, I'll make it work.

 

i dont know about anyone, i wouldn't want this dude camping with us

 

I agree, all these guys are stand up. With out a doubt.

I was just just wondering if it was a family event or a WOOT!!! Let's get fucked up! Lol
