San Diego BS Thread.

I'm not trying too hard, there's liquor stores near most of the stops if I really wanted to drink. Only problem is after I get to the end of the line I have to drive another 20 minutes.

Meh, Camelbaks are the way to go... that's how I roll in my prerunner out in the desert lol.

 

How about no

 

Or you could hire your own personal German driver for the last leg

 

Wait, what? I’m German, so what am I getting dragged into?

 

Don't hate... Participate.

 

Mmm plastic taste.

 

That’s why you fill it with Jack Daniels

 

Fun times! 4WD Doug, where are you now?

 

Hey that's me in the silver Tacoma! Pine valley run. Most were 2wd. I think it even snowed on that run.

I was bummed when he got banned. The 3rd genners got the best of him.

 

So anybody know how to get a tractor tire bead set without ending up naked 30' away? I got a 16.9 x 24 (pretty huge) but kinda scared to try the fire and starting fluid trick.
My yard is a slip and slide!!! Really sucks, I cant do a damn thing when the rain hits.
Also anybody have any leads on free or cheap (delivered) gravel, ground asphalt, etc....I gotta do something about this nightmare.

My truck is parked in the shop and its so muddy I cant even get it out without sliding down the hill, lol.

What a pain in the arse!! Im pretty much shut down for the moment until I figure out how to unfuck myself, haha...

 

Can you put a ratchet strap around the tread and squeeze the bead closer to the rim?

 

I have 3 rows of them on there now along with slime. I need a big burst of air to overcome the sealing/leaking threshold. A small explosion might correct that, however it might cause my current clothing to fly over my neighbor's house if I overshoot my goal
A car tire I have actually done this way when off-roading, but a tractor tire with such volume I have not, I'm pretty good at educated guesses but this is sketchy at best!
That being said Ill give it a shot and start small and work my way up., I really need to dig some trenches to route this water, and need about 300 yards of gravel!

Hows Nevada treating you Bob!?

 

Yeah, that’s sketchy for sure. Get video! Getting use to cold weather and remembering how to drive in snow in NV right now.

 

Might be time to get the starting fluid with a lighter fluid trail. Sure as hell does not look easy to do.

Gasoline! Worked for us on the Mission Santa Maria run in 2010 on Art's 4WD van... The first attempt I filmed didn't do it, but then I tried the old Baja trucker trick, and boom.. success!

 

This is in the Yard Sale thread

 

How have you been Frank? Long time since we went four wheeling or did I pop over to deliver books?! Getting old sucks, can't remember anything.

 

Definitely been a while. The books are great. I get to lend them out every year. I need to get out and wheel more. A few 4Runner buddies like to go try and find petroglyphs.
How have you been David?

 

J, rig up a remote detonator - 50’ piece of speaker wire strip both ends lay one end near the bead and touch the other ends to a 9v battery...spark...boom. Model rocket detonator style rig
