So Cal Blazer Safari - Final Thread

Also, something you guys might want to keep in mind! There is a "rumor" around that there just may be a Professional Videographer out this weekend to capture the 4x4 action!!

Some of you know my friend from work Ryan, well I think that I have talked him into having one of his friends who takes videos come out and get us on camera! Ryan also will have new wheels/tires from Ultra Wheels (I never got my free ones by the way), because they are sponsoring part of his Jeep for the SEMA show again this year, and they want video to play of him wheeling around for the SEMA show booth!

So, maybe get those trucks all looking pretty and bad*ss, cause they just might end being movie stars!!

If things go right, we might be able to actually order videos of the weekend from this guy! It's not 100%, but looks good! Just thought I'd share the cool news so that you could make 'em look pretty if ya want!!
 
Sounds cool. I will have to find some more mud...you can see some of the paint now :(

I'll be bringing firewood also. I have no back seat in so I should be able to take quite a bit and all my gear.

Actually i think it was four so cal trucks, Man whats with you Nor Cal guys, we're gonna have more zonies than Nor cal. Oh well, your loss, what happened to the Girls anyway, Steph? Sara? whats the dealio?

Well my p/s pump is now A-OK, but im still having low oil pressure problems, i changed the pump, cleaned the pickup, i think i'm gonna try different oil and a new filter, this all started after i changed my oil, maybe the oil sucks, or the filter sucks or maybe i'm just gonna have to drop in a new mouse thurs. night. Hmmmmmm, starts the wheels a turnin, oh well oil pressure or no, i'm still gonna be there. it has plenty at freeway speeds, wait thats it i'l just have to keep it up around 2500 rpm all weekend, blast over, dunes run into ditches, now theres a plan, i better go put a prerunner bumper on it,

ok enough nonsense, i can't wait, i'm busting out the sawzall tonight. choppy, choppy!

Yeah, it's getting harder to concentrate on anything but the truck and the upcoming weekend!! I am running over to Praxair in a few minutes, get mine and Ryan's Power Tanks filled up...then it's back to the welding shop to finish the cage off later!! Got some pallets that I need to tear apart, and I just found one of those large wooden wire spools (we have a telecommunications firm next door), so plan on trucking that thing home tomorrow. Gonna have to rig up my soft top again tonight, see how it fits with the new, redesigned cage...
 
Hey Chaz if you can get your truck home on one of your transports, i can get you to the airport. Whichever one you want. Ontario or LAX. You can crash at my house too if need be. Don't miss this just because all of the other Nor Cal hicks.......oops.....I mean guys/gals couldn't make it.

Surfing is Life...
 
i am no hick, i live in the bay area! i am an anti-yuppie at worst! =o)
my truck will not go over 50mph so it makes getting to work and skool in the morning really interesting....
good thing i got a 3' x 5' american flag flanked by a same sized Chevy flag bolted to the tailgate of my K5 or i would be getting "the bird" all the way up and down 280 and 101 =o)
have fun and remember that i am going to the SECOND annual (sp?) Blazer Safari next year...*goes back to the garage*

Hey how about you bring your trailer with you. If for some god awful reasonn your truck breaks down the only thing you'd have to do is get one of us to tow you to a U-haul place and rent you a truck to tow it home. That sounds pretty easy to me. That way you don't have to leave it here for that long. Just an Idea.
