Especially with that darn Xterra in the way, I'm not sure I can make it over another truck.

Especially if it's that ugly white truck in the background. If you try to mount it with your jeep, it might catch on fire with all those stray wires going everywhere.

Hey! The Jalopy wouldn't even consider trying to mount a Toyota, it has way better taste than that! Especially a Toyota with non-matching tires. smile

Funny, I didn't even see that POS back there, it's stealthy.

Is said POS running currently? Going to make it this weekend?

Said POS needs a radiator re-installed, the power steering re-filled and misc details.

I am tempted to do a ride along just to go up to the mountains for day. Are you heading back to the East Bay on Saturday still?

Hi,

I am still debating on when to come back. I am not as hard core as some of you guys and I did not get any good recovery equipment(no sliders, no mounts for my Hi-Lift, no winch), so if Sunday is going to be really hard core, then I don't want to be a burden in case if I get stuck.

I am really thinking of taking my car to Calmini's shop and telling them what I need and then picking it up later on. Otherwise, I am not going to have any time to mod it...

If they end up running Slickrock you'd probably want sliders, but there is always the option of leaving your truck somewhere and riding along in another rig.

What about the WJ? It can't sit in the driveway forever. smile We need more Jeep power!

Kelly and I can give you a ride back on Saturday, no problem if you want to ride along.

ps. I want to have a cool sign also! I started farther forward though.

I think I'll be heading back home on Saturday too if the rest of the crew heads to Slickrock.

He can't even keep the WJ running. See what happens, as soon as I leave all his vehicles fall apart. :rolleyes:

He can't smog the jeep because of other problems...I told him to green sticker it.

Slickrock is the trail that hooked Geoff and I into 4wheeling. It's a good trail to see what kind of terrain lightly modified vehicles can do, even if just riding along with somebody else.

Oh,

Do not get me wrong -- I got hooked the first time I had to drive a rental Jeep on Saline Valley road in Death Valley. I am going to pack for 2 days, but then we'll see.

Cya tomorrow.

Howdy!

First of all, thank you for helping me out during the run. Without encouragement from Huey, Jeff, Dean and the others I would have hard times making it.

Jeff and I got back fine. We stopped at the Snowshoe Brewery for some food; we reached Pleasanton at 10PM.

Here is the link to some of the pictures taken during the trip. This was one of those 'point-and-shoot' trips where the camera was in the Auto mode 99.9% of the time.

Some of the pictures will be shown in the Pictures forum.

Only Huey and I ran Slickrock, with Andrew (black Pathy) riding shotgun.

Hello!

Finally got approved to post. [ThumbsUp]

Thanks for letting me tag along. That was a great weekend trip, too bad I couldn't stay for Slickrock. Does anyone have more pics of my Trooper? smile
