Official 2017 NorCal Camping/Wheeling Thread!

I wish we keep going. I think if I didn't get myself bogged down to the frame, we would have probably kept going. Stupid call on my part, but I didn't see the white 4runner going anywhere.

 

I would of loved to but someone held-us back. they couldn't make it up that hill. i said im done pulling you out they need to turn around.

 

We thought everyone was coming so we kept going, hoping to find a spot to pull off and wait. Then we lost comms. The chevy did good after we aired them down

 

Fernando, his bro in the 4 runner and Cory all started struggling. it became tiring pulling them out. i got to the point i was done. at one point all three of them was berried.

 

No lockers?

 

Fernando and his buddy had no locker. I have a rear locker, but made a dumb decision.

 

you said not me.

 

@jqueener
Did you figure out what was going on with your rear end? I remember you saying your locker wasn't working and was blowing air out. What was the issue?
Hopefully something easy like a loose fitting

 

?

Fernando said you had a locker...

 

Locker or not. Snow requires low air pressure and finesse. If anything the skinny pedal is what doomed some rigs. The full size chevy did not have lockers I believe and they never got stuck again with us. Basically told them to keep a steady pace but don't spin.

 

He does. He was having issues on a previous trip and i was wondering if he figured out the issue

 

Well that makes sense.

 

no! in town i tested it no air blowing from the diff breather. so i chalked it up to frozen line/ or seal. but it stared doing it again yesterday in the snow. it was still working but there is a leak for sure. i need to pull my diff and inspect the copper tube. it maybe loose or the seal is bad. either way my truck will be down for a week or so to do this and i don't have a plan on when i can pull this off as of right now.

 

he has locker front and rear not air lockers but Detroit auto lockers

 

it was working but when i got stuck it was off. i also made it up that hill with it off.

 

Why a week man? Let's just pick a day and get it handled we need another sac mod day

 

Bummer. Let me know when ya find time to do it. If I'm free, I'll help.

 

if its more then a loose copper line. I will have to send it back to ECGS. or drop it off at a shop.

 

How about the 4th or 5th of march
