Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Was at Home Depot in Placerville this afternoon and saw a Silver X-Cab (2nd Gen) that looked very similar to Rich_Beauregard's truck. Lifted with an aftermarket front bumper. The hood and all body parts from the crease down were black (like Rich's truck). I think it had a soft shell on it too? Anyway, not sure what the lower part was coated with. I originally thought it was line-X but then it was sparkling in the Sun like the black non-slip material you can stick on the edge of stairs and it wasn't thick like line-X. Didn't care for the black hood, but the rest looked really good. Blacking out the lower panels sure helps blend the aftermarket bumpers on the silver trucks.

 

dude it was all bad on my end. i drilled too far during my armrest reupholstery and now i have no armrests in my doors lol. i also didnt get anything done on my truck . seth was cool enough to tell me that if i came back another day hed help me with it. so atleast i can look forward to that.

 

Aha I kinda imagined you being so pumped up that you'd do something like that. What are you gonna do about the armrests and I thought you'd get dem headers done but I guess there were just too many people doing too many things huh.

 

haha yeah well i didnt damage the armrests or the door panel as far as what you see. I'm gonna try to fiberglass em back in and if that doesnt work just have the entire door fiberglassed over at a customs shop.

we wouldve had to dismantle the engine pretty much to make the header install happen quickly. and just not enough time.

 

Man that kinda sucks you went from a small crack to no arm rests. I might have some time next week to help you out if you want to come to me.

 

Hey jerry, have you ever done the Genoa Peak Loop? TTORA rates it a 3 but im guessing on tons of show. We were going to hit it tuesday.

 

Nope never hit it what elevation is it? I can't go on Tuesday I have to work

 

It tops out at about 9100 ft.

 

Yeah I just checked it out that might be challenging with all the snow they got the last few storms. Sounds like fun

 

Ya im just trying not to go alone. haha. I mean ive got all my recovery gear. And i guess if you get to a point where you cant push through the snow any more, you just go back.

 

Yeah at 9000 feet there might be 15 to 20 feet of snow right now so I wouldn't go alone

 

OH SHIT!!! lol ya no thank you. not without a snowcat. lol or a snowmachine. Know of any fire roads? The girlfriend just wants to go exploring.

 

Man I don't know they might all be covered in snow right now.

 

Ya thats what its looking like. could always just take her up to pillsburry. hmmmm

 

Pm sierrahsky he lives up there he might know some fire roads that are plowed down enough to get in.

 

Anything above 4K foot elevation is going to have a minimum of 3-4 feet of snow. Plus, most of the Forest Roads are closed (locked with gates) between Jan 1 and March 31 due to a federal order as a result of lawsuits over environmental impacts. You're either going to need to go into Nevada to find any trails, or do some snow trips on paved, unplowed roads (unless like Jerry said if Sierrahsky knows of any near him). I can point you to two unplowed forest roads (paved) that will be covered in snow but are open if you want to take them. One's here in Pollock Pines off Hwy 50.

 

Thanks for the offer Jerry but I'm just gonna fork over the flow to the shop and know my limits from here on out :/

 

If you guys are still down to help me w my aals an headers sometime let menknow tho

 

FYI to PRS pillsburry is open, a busy of fine just took his jeep up Hull mountain and had a blast in the snow.

 

i dont have much mechanical experience but i can help out most likely
