2012 SoCal Fall Desert Rally

They're gripes, the Navy uses them. It's got a big c-hook and and it's about 15 feet of chain. I can get about 10 of them. They're for holding down equipment on the deck of a ship.

 

[Gottlos]

Just remove one of those 0's and you are good to go!

If only it were that simple. I can see a vicious circle brewing. If I got an M109 I'd have to get rid of the M1009 and M416 (the 416 would look silly behind and M109) and get an M101. Then were to park it all. Would my wife be a widow, 'cause I'm pretty sure she would failure drill me. (Two to the body one to the head).

 

[Gottlos]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks some kind of convoy up to the site would be cool? It would sure give other motorists something to see.

 

[FASTNOVA]

Saturday afternoon or Sunday we will all do a convoy into the hills.

 

[navyninja]

Sounds like a plan. Who coming from the LA would like to meet around Victorville and convoy the rest of the way up?

I would be interested in a set of your chains and the convoy out from Victorivlle. Ill be leaving out of Lakewood or Corona.

 

[navyninja]

Roger that. I'll bring as many as I can get a hold of. And whereabouts would you like to meet up? I'm headed out of San Diego and I'm going to try leave on Friday.

 

[Lextreme]

I am leaving Friday around 3 pm at 60/57 if you can meet me somewhere..

 

[M1009 Fiend]

I think a meet up in Victorville would work Friday evening, have to take into account traffic going through the pass.

 

[Bad_Carp]

I love a good convoy (as long as there isn't a camera on my six that captures me running stop signs!) but I'm going up early Friday if not Thurs afternoon, so doubtful I can join anyone in that fun.

 

[Bad Karma]

Convoy is cool for me. I'll be going thru Victorville Friday about 1000. If I don't get anxious and leave Thursday night like Bad Carp.

So much for bringing the Go Pro. If you turn on your flashy lights who would complain?


I get off the graveyard shift at 0500. So I'll need a few hours of SLEEP. I'll probably depart between 1200 and 1400. That would put me in Victorville about 1400 to 1600, give or take a few pesky traffic lights.

Gents,

Drove my truck this morning around the corner to drop my daughter and noticing a radiator fluid smell and few seconds later I hear the belts squeaking. So I started to cruise downhill trying to make it home. No over heating but alternator belts were distroyed. The water pump is locked. Radiator fluiding leaking from the truck. Anyway, the water pump froze and locked. Looks like I wont make it to the meet, unless i can get my hands on a waterpump asap.
