OK should be fun...Carlos are you in?

Sorry guys but I can not make a final commitment yet <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I am trying to work out other issues before I can go.
I'll have to wait til next week to make a decision.

OK Carlos. Plenty of time yet to go..I'm still debating weather or not to attempt to install my front locker before the trip. I have to finish putting my SWB back together tonight if I make good progress I might pull the front diff assy out of my SR this weekend for the ARB install...Depends on if I can get the carrier bearing I need and get my hands on a dial indicator.

Per Google Maps... 442 mi (about 8 hours 34 mins) from Mountain View...

hmmmmmmm...

442mi/15mpg? = 30 gallons x $3.60? = $108.00 approx.

hmmmmmmm...

Darn tempting pics though!

weather report looks good. Extended forecast says sunny with highs in the mid 70's and lows in the 40's..bring the sleeping bag for the cold nights.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I booked #21 !!!!

I know Ray's in #22 and I'm assuming you guys have also booked #24 and #25 as listed earlier in the thread. I didn't know if anyone had space but I figured it was safe to go ahead and book another close spot. See Carlos, there's still room for ya.

-- Fixed the CB yesterday, as well as pulled out the rear seats and carpet. Also lowered the spare tire to take a look and decided it had to go somewhere else!?
-- Replacing my FL half-shaft today (to fix Pismo damage <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />)
-- Will also extend diff breather tube
-- Then next on the list are new front shocks (again, to fix Pismo damage <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />)

So Joanna, are you two bringing both rigs or just yours? IIRC Kris doesn't have rocker panel protection... or did he add that recently?

Damm.. The monti won't be ready by then.. Maybe the quads again? I think I'll have to sit this one out.

But for you guys going heres a little teaser pic of my monty in big bear.

Just my rig for this one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />
Kris is still working on upgrades... but I'm sure it doesn't help that I keep stealing his time away to repair and upgrade my Runner as well as attend more trips like this one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Not to be cheesey but I hope the Raider doesn't feel left out cause I love that thing. What a great ride.
By the way the half shaft axle repair went very smoothly today, not bad at all. Of course I do have Kris to thank for at least 75% of that project! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
