When you're ready, bud.

 

oooh... I wanna learn how to weld

 

When are you free?

Bring some scrap steel if you got some and I'll teach ya

 

I'll see if I can't get some. Then if we could plan something that would be rad!

 

Great question. Pretty busy lately. I'll be hitting big bear the 13-14 (maybe the 12th as well) for the TTORA event. The 7th is mod day in Upland. Any of those days could work.

 

It's fun, good thing to know how to do. Mig or tig?

 

Anyone down for jacoby canyon trail in big bear some time in the next week ish?

 

Fun trail. You're cheating if you use your 4x4.

 

I think it was a fireroad..

 

Haha. It was cool at night going the back way. Flew through that bitch -- in 4x. Hahaha. Went over the larger rock/boulders.

 

Mod day eh? I can probably make that

 

The rocks were cool..

 

I know these fine gents on this thread are having a mod day the 14th I think? I'll be in bb, but here's the link to Bmans mod day on the 7th:

You saved the day but my rig and occupants inside probably couldn't last one more trail anyhow, I gotta figure out what makes it feel like its about to shake and crash itself into pieces- will be replacing the LCA bushings soon, and maybe the ball joints if it persists. On dirt roads with no rocks, boulders etc, even with large rounded dips and bumps its smooth, the EMU spings and 5100s are pretty compliant, so when the road gets gritty with rocks, tree ruts and stuff and the cab feels like B17 flying through a flack field, I think the bushings and/or ball joints are shot.

I really look forward to doing it again when the suspension is figured out.

 

Yeah we're planning one Sun the 14th at OPs place, as far as I know it's still on

 

Nice! I'd be there as well but big bear shenanigans. I live at the base of bb so I presume Sunday I'll want to recover close to home.

 

I usually go down to 16 psi when wheeling. The first time I went out with my truck, I didn't know to air down and did part of the Rowher Trail with my tires set to 40psi. THAT was one hell of a bumpy ride...felt like my bones were about to rattle apart the whole time, lol.

 

When the local guys and I do roads around SB, we don't air down because it isn't worth the hassle. I still contemplate it every time though haha
