The 2016 NorCal Camping/Wheeling Thread!

I had a great time. No damage found. Yet. I'll look closer this morning. Being in the middle of the pack, I was able to get out and study the rough spots and pick the right line, by watching others get through. Gotta get me a good shovel. Hi-jack lift. And various other items to go in the emergency kit. Didn't need any of it this time, but I can see where it is necessary.

 

I don't think your supposed to drive it forward while Jacked.... seems very unsafe. Easy for me to be an internet warrior though.

 

also, my whole right side is black/blue. Big tree fall hard.

 

thats pretty accurate. dumbass rock that was in plain sight.

 

how dare that rock get in your way

 

Thats very nice sir. But i think if we all pitched in a few bucks we could easily get mike his tracks back. Dont wanna take yours

Damn bro. I shoulda grabbed it from you. He lives pretty close to me

Oh yes. Very unsafe. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

all caught up on this thread. looks like you guys had some fun. @Fernando when you going to learn -hammer down = shit breaks . and for those plastic things(treads) garbage. sucks they broke so quickly!. Tree branches are free. LOL
Mike I owe you lots OTPHJ's, Do you like IPA's???

 

Most of the way in John was in front of me, and behind me, on the way out, so I have a lot of pictures of his truck.

 

In NSW the saying is, "Two is one, One is none". So, I bought two sets of tracs. I figured if two tracs are good, four is better. One set in the truck, one set in the garage. But they are a disgustingly ugly neon lime green.

 

wheeling can be unsafe at times, I have seen this done a few times, and body damage usually accrues. dangerous yes! but in an emergency you do what you have to. With all those rigs one would think you could of winched him off there vs, the hi lift. so far I think my winch has save my ass and others more then any other recovery method.

 

Lol. Never heard of that saying but i like it.

 

That aint my style bro

Plus, i had lost my mexican rear locker so i had to hammerdown (sandbags)

Both rigs behind him had no winch

 

Yeah. I would think hilift, rocks and traction boards under the tires, set the truck back down then winch him forward. Like I said. Easy to be a keyboard warrior. Ive done my fair share of stupid recovery ideas.

 

the hi lift could have been used as a winch. I have pulled stumps with a come a long. much safer method.

 

Me: hold my beer, watch this

 

Jay rode my slider across that really long water crossing. Figured we'd stop and turn back if his feet got excessively wet. Human depth finder. Good times.

 

Didnt get a chance to say thanks to everyone for being so willing and helpful.

All those that offered to go to nyack to buy me a box of brake fluid.

Cha, thank you for the fluid bro. I owe you. And thank you for offering the tow service.

Bret, thank you for getting that tow set up. Glad i didnt need it but thank you. Means alot!

Mike!! Thanks for helping me bleed my brakes, in the snow, with a rinky dink ass towel that i provided...your a G! And thanks for the patch wife said : you guys are so dumb....lol

George, thanks for the muscles and helping me with the highlift!!


Felipe, thank you for taking those badass shots! You are the man!!

Thanks to all those that made sure i was on the road and would not leave me! Thats some real bromance!! Haha

I also want to thank all those that helped build that bridge. Lol. Jay, you are the man!! Haha.

It was nice meeting all the new faces and hanging out with those that i already know. Good times

 

i do believe there was too many people on this trip. It was a blast but 15 or so is a lot on a small trail, there was a lot of hurry up and wait. One spot we waiting almost 2 1/2 hours before moving on.

 

Dang... Maybe it a good thing @jberry813 didn't make it.... he
