Over Prez Day Weekend, I went out the Imperial Sand dunes in the southwest CA. I camped with some friends of mine where we stayed at Gordon's Well. It is located, just north of I-8. I have ben to the dunes many times, but usually have kept it limited to staying in the general area. This trip...

Nice man. Still hearing about the "good effects" we had. Here's to you amigo.. :friday:

SCORE ViaTerra!! :wings: I have been in on this project with ViaTerra. I have been in Ace, Home Depot, Walmart,Lowes and some a few marine and boating supply locations. I had found quite a few things that would almost work. Lookign forawrd to seeing it.

Great pictures amigo. I saw your post over the AZVJC and thanks posting them there as well. Pleasure getting to meet you in person. I wish had more time to just chat away. One of these days around a campfire:camping:

Ha ha! Yeah, I am almost looking forwad to looking at the Big Ugly sittin' in the corner with some mud on him. I am definatly looking forward to the next run with this group. That is a great pic.

That pile was the 2nd one. The dumpster the FS pulled out was filled out pretty quick. So they said to stack it there and they would get it. Something tells me that the FS was a bit overwhelmed by our showing. Perfect.:wings: Also, it was great to finally see some of the folks I have met...

What channel was it? Tim, I am going to try and get there around 8-8:30. I also have 6 traffic cones if you want to use them to help make a "check in" point.

Speaker, You can if you want. What I describd is just the easiset way that it sounded what FreeDom4x4 was looking for. With good switch, you can hit and get the power of both, say if you really needed to do a heavy pull on the winch and wanted them both. Several different ways to do it, but...

OK, This is a pretty watered down, "back of the box response", but should help understand how it all works. There are several different set ups and variations out there that people like to do, but this probably the common and easiest. You have your factory battery, then add a second battery...

Thanks guys! It is alot of fun. But I admit, I kinda cheat.. its my personal vehicle. I built it and I drive as a volunteer in the Sheriff's Posse

Unless something major happens, I will be there to lend a hand, under my alter ego. I volunteer in the Posse so I put in some requests for this day. I should have a few Deputies swinging by to help keep an eye and make sure no knuckle heads give any us grief. Be looking :Astrologist: for...

Yes, yes we did. I have burned the the stuff before so I knew what to expect. But the others were new to it so we had a lot of fun with. Redneck version of Mr Wizard at 4700 feet. And yes, it was freakin bright! Thanks for the parts. It was the highlight of the campfire:jumping:

Ha ha! Sweet. For those at home, it went like this. First picture, I came to a stop as I could see some nasty ruts.... I slid all the way down into the drainage cut. I think I slid sideways close to 4 feet. After I that, I gave it easy gas and tried to crawl out without digging too...

Great shots. That cake was great by the way. No pics of me going sideways?:oops:

Wow, what a great trip. It was my first outing with this group and my wife and I had a wonderful time. Mark, you rock as a trip leader. Through out the way he commented over the CB with some great tips and tibits of history that made it that much more eventful. Roads were nicer than I...

That would be sweet set up but I just dont know if they make anything that can handle a 9,000 pound pull. I am pretty sure the cable couldnt. My crack at this is to make it more practical. Haveing a long winch line is pretty critical, most important, when wheeling by your self. Otherwise...

That is exactly right. The upper plates should be bigger than the lower. Maybe 6x6 on top with a 5x5 on the bottom as an example. Otherwise the plates will act in the same manner as a punch or a shear. Also, make sure to round the corners of the plates so they dont dig in and tear if they...

Whoa... stunning. Greg, I can now understand why you were like 6 year old before Christmas about this trip. Incredible pictures. I admit, I snaked the campsite picture and its my new desk top. Just so I can really rub in how bad I wanted to be there. Sorry to hear about the raditor. That...

The expression has to do with more or less, getting to know your rig. There are alot of parts that wear out from use. Some can wear out slower or faster depending on useage. Both from driveing, weather, and useage. Let's say you have had your 4x4 for years. You know how much abuse the...

2 of my "kids" First pic is my 1988 FJ-62. Got it back in 95' and racked up over 110.000 miles on it. More or less in active since 2004. Needs A LOT love to bring it back up to wheeling staus. I am hoping by spring. This was taken the first day i took my step son wheeling. His was 3...
