Ridgecrest Trip

[Desert Jeepin]

Ok, so I found this place that I want to wheel. It is similar to the Hammers in Rock Type, but longr than any of the trails at Johnson Valley. The technical level of this trail screams "Don't try this alone!" so I need some support. I'd say no less than 3-4 buggies.

Anyone want to come to R/C to try a local trail?

I'll try and get pics as soon as I can, but I assure you that you wont be dissapointed. I would say that as a 'Bender... There isn't a member that would look up this canyon like Camo did the first time he saw Surprise!

[Flash]

i wanta runn it i know im not a buggy but ill run it...

Depending on the date I am game. Sounds like fun.

[luvrox]

Sounds like fun if you can handle a non buggy that has nothing to loose.
Garry

[Air Ride]

I do it if I had a buggy :^(

[Desert Jeepin]

I don't care what you bring. Paved Road runs about 100ft from the bottom of the trail, and it's a pretty quick, 5 minutes grated frun to pavement from the top.

I can't believe that none of us have ever run it before, but sho-enuf it's virgin!

[Flash]

when we gonna run it phildo?next month next week next year?? when?

[Desert Jeepin]

When we get enough people, who are ready.

Matts truck is in pieces, so we need some non-locals to come hang out.

[Flash]

right im thinking that most non-locals are down right now so we might be waiting till after the jambo. cause that is is when everyone is trying to get up and running buy..i think..

[RE:Todd]

I'll be game early in Feb :D :D

[Desert Jeepin]

Maybe we should plan an early Feb trip then.

[Flash]

maybe what is everyone elses schedule looking like for early feb.?

[jca]

feb 11-13 is a weroc event that I might be going to. Jan 29th weekend might work.


Phil non street legal vehicles are good for this area? Place to park tow rig and trailer? Are we camping? Is there going to be snow? If camping, is there a place to camp in the motor home or trailer or are we doing the tent thing on the trail or are we all camping/sleeping/eating and drinking all of Krusty's beer at his house???

[Desert Jeepin]

It's a 10 minute road drive from my place, maybe 15 from Krustys.

We can do anything we want. It's right on the edge of Spangler Hills ORV Area.

I've got an extra bedroom, I think Krusty does as well. Also, you could always bring the home and plug into our shore power/tv and what-not.

Snow is not an issue, I don't think it's ever seen snow. We are talking maybe 2500ft. in altitude.

There should be no reason for a tent on the trail thing, with FULLY capable rigs, we should get it in one day, but now I have doubts.

It's fully doable, but man, it looks long.

[artztoy]

Phil.... For the life of me, I can't think of where your talkin' about. Clue me in...

[Desert Jeepin]

It's off Randsburg Wash Road, past the Trona Road intersection. It's entrance (Bottom) in actually looking at Searls Vally I believe.

[offroad_joe]

We need to get a wiring harness for Krusty's tow rig. I have a windshield,hood and possibly doors lined up waiting to be installed. A few of the Tinbenders And I have talked about doing this, it's time we get Krusty a safe way to get his rig to the trail. Wheel on Saturday and wrench on Sunday?

[surveyboy]

joe, how hard is it to get a harness for it? I'll do whatever I can to help. I may not be able to wheel that canyon, but helping get krusty mobil again I can do.

[Desert Jeepin]

How many people are still up for this? A wheel/wrench fest with Krusty's towrig being our focal point.

[RedNeckRea]

I don't got nothin to wheel, but I'm always down for wrenchin. lemme know and I'll find a ride out there.

[Jeepskickass]

Yeah, sounds like the trail is out of my reach, but I can help on the truck.

[Jeepskickass]

And, NO, you can't have my wiring harness!!!

[surveyboy]

Phil, I am certainly up for getting krusty going. I'll pitchin and distract JKA so we can use his truck for 'reference' :D :D

what do you guys say to the last weekend or first weekend in Feb??

is a new harness needed? or can we splice the wires that got melted?? If we need to order one, get me the specifics and I'll order it tomorrow.

[offroad_joe]

The wiring harness is toast from the firewall out, it plugs into the firewall. A friend of mine told me the easiest way to do this is try to get a complete w/h from a like truck and just replace it all from the firewall out the front to the headlights, the engine and out to the taillights. He says it's all plug and play on Chevy's. We put a HEI dist. in it to get it running, so Ideally we need a post points w/h. I think he said post 76. I just called him but no answer, I will get a hold of him tomorrow. I have the end of the w/h that plugs in to the firewall if someone needs a picture of it I will take one and e-mail it to them.

I have a prior commitment on the last weekend of Jan. but I am open the first weekend of Feb.

[surveyboy]

ok. well if anyone is willing to do the leg work to find one, I'll pony up the $$ so we can get it rolling. there is a pick a part round the corner, I'll give them a yell tomorrow.

thanks for the help joe

[ande]

what year is it? what year is the hei distributor out of

[offroad_joe]

I talked to my friend today he said any 73 - 76 and maybe 77 will work, he said not to worry about the HEI dist it is only one wire. The w/h is the only real hold up to getting Krusty into a safe tow vehicle. Bender had said there were several junk yards in Ridgecrest if one of you guys can look there. I will be out of town this weekend but will try to get to pick-a-part on Wednesday next week. Post up if anyone finds one before then.

[surveyboy]

well, my offer to anyone that finds one still applies. I know that Phil is the only one in RC. I still need to try to call the local place.

[lqCJ8]

Shaun , I could check down here , if it would help

[surveyboy]

please do. if find one let me know.

[lqCJ8]

does it have A/C or any of that other high tech stuff graemlins/question.gif I know we're talkin about a old timers truck graemlins/thefinger.gif , so I just had to ask

[surveyboy]

I dunno. maybe phildo might?

[Desert Jeepin]

I dunno.

[offroad_joe]

No luck at pick a part, what I saw was not worth messing with. Anyone else have any luck? There is one guy on Pirate that said he thought he had one, but I haven't heard back from him yet.

[surveyboy]

I must be asking for a flux capacitor at my local pick a part, cause they are looking at me like "wtf are you talking about"

[lqCJ8]

[offroad_joe]

Does anyone have time to find a Chevy truck board? I bet one could be found there real easily.

[ITS PAT]

THE HEI DISTRIBUTER IS SAME ON ALL 87 AND PRIOR CHEVY SMALL AND BIG BLOCKS, ALSO CREWCAB AND BLAZERS 91 AND PRIOR. GOING RATE AT A JUNK YARD SHOULD BE 80 DOLLARS OR LESS. THE WIRING HARNESS WILL BE NEARLY EXACTLY THE SAME BETWEEN 73 AND 87 CARBURATED MODELS. ANY OTHER USELESS CHEVY INFO NEEDED LET ME KNOW.

[ January 19, 2005, 14:59: Message edited by: ITS PAT ]

[lqCJ8]

I'll check out a chevy board

[lqCJ8]

I found a site that send's request out to salvage yards , I'll post any results

LOL I did the same thing to two different sites. I guess great minds think alike?

[lqCJ8]

:D :D :D :cool: graemlins/eyes.gif

[offroad_joe]

I have been told they changed the plug that goes into the firewall around 1977. We already put a HEI dist in it when we got it off the dirt road.

Pat do you have a source for a wiring harness in your bag of useless knowledge? graemlins/thefinger.gif
We need the whole thing from the firewall out to the headlights, engine and back to the tailights. Suburban, Truck, Blazer, long bed, short bed it doesn't matter, we can always splice the existing back section.

[Desert Jeepin]

I found the parts.

I was told, depending on which one I choose, it'll be $70 at the worse.

[offroad_joe]

Sweet, I found one in lakeside by JC"S house,$150.
I also just got a responce from one of the online places they want $150 shipped to me.

Phil should I send you an e-mail whith a pic of the plug?

Does anyone know if Krusty has rebuilt the carb?
He said he had somone at work that was good with carbs and would have him rebuild it.

I will go Saturday and pick up the hood, windshield and seal. If the guy has switched out the doors I will get them also, if not I will get them at a later date.

SO what day are we planning this for? I am not available next Saturday 1/29 but can come up on Sunday. I am available any other Saturday or
Sunday.

[surveyboy]

[Desert Jeepin]

Any Saturday is fine by me.

I have to work that Friday, but we should be ok. Maybe I can pick it up afterwork that friday...

[RedNeckRea]

[surveyboy]

[offroad_joe]

[/QUOTE]Must be the expensa-truck-junkyard off 67. Lot's of Chevy's there. They just jack up the price on everything. [/QB][/QUOTE]

That's realy not a bad price, the other 3 I found were higher. 2 where online $175 each and one in Carson $200.

[Desert Jeepin]

Does anyone plan to bring there rigs?

[surveyboy]

I hadn't thought about bring mine Phil. is the plan still to trying get krusty's camper running on saterday??

who else is for sure coming up??

[Desert Jeepin]

I don't know. I'm not sure what the plan is. John B said he can front the dinero for the harness for the truck. What's the camper status?

[surveyboy]

what do you mean phil? are you talking about the carb??

and let me know how much I owe him. thanks

[ January 29, 2005, 17:06: Message edited by: surveyboy ]

[Desert Jeepin]

I'm not really sure yet.

I think you're interchanging the work Camper and truck. It's the truck that has issues. I think the camper is OK.

The truck needs the harness right?

Did we want the front half (Firewall forward) or the whole thing? At first it was just the firewall forward.

[surveyboy]

I did mean krusty's truck. sorry for the confusion :D

to the best of my knowledge, we just needed the firewall forward for the truck. in addition to the other parts that joe has (windshield and door?? i think)

[eurobob]

I'd like to come up, but my plans are not firmed up for next weekend. Waiting for my buddy Tony to get his work schedule. We've already planned on some Superbowl action, but might be able to do some diversionary things to come help.

[Desert Jeepin]

Hey, we can do super bowl here! We got electricity last week!

[surveyboy]

LOL, no crap?? there's some of that electricity in Ridgecrest now?? wow that's cool :D :D :D

someone got a place for me to crash saterday night? or do I need to haul my own house up there? :D

[Chevyotki]

I have a spare bedroom open to anyone who needs a place to crash. Let me know.

[Desert Jeepin]

We have an open bedroom as well.

Davia says that I'm not allowed to interupt her super golf sunday or something like that. So I guess that's all I'm allowed to watch sunday.

[surveyboy]

LOL, wow, I heard the crack of that whip all the way over here in riverside :D :D :D

[surveyboy]

so to recap, Joe has got a windshield, and a hood, and maybe some doors, fairly easy to get installed. (assuming one of you guys has installed a windshield before :D :D )

phil and john have the harness in the works

krusty is supposed to be getting the carb fixed up.

only thing I can think we're missing is a gasket for the windshield and some rattle can paint for the new hood :D

JKA you still gonna be able to make it up? Joe how about you? Redneckrea, you still in, if you can get to my house, I'll get you up there.

[RedNeckRea]

I'm still in.

wrench sat day...watch fight and drink sat night...possibly wrench sunday...watch superbowl and drive home sunday?

[offroad_joe]

I am still in, I spoke to my buddy with the window yesterday and now he's saying he's not sure if he has the seal. I check LMC Truck.com and I can get one from them. I will order it Monday morning. I just hope it gets here by Friday.

As for the doors and the hood the guy that told me I could have them gave them away to somone else.

I can't understand people like this, he knew what these were for and told me I could have them when he switched them out. I asked a mutual friend if he switched them yet and he told me, the guy switched them and got rid of the old ones already. WTF?

[offroad_joe]

Phil what we need is the complete harness that plugs into the firewall in the engine compartment it goes out to the engine,headlights and back to the taillights. It looks like it is one big plug but it is really two pieces with a bolt through the middle. If you need a picture I can e-mail you one.

[Desert Jeepin]

By all means, email away!

[offroad_joe]

I found a good deal on a set of fenders and a pair of doors $100. The only problem is, they are up near Magic Mountain. I can't get up there to get them before next weekend. Is anyone coming from around there that can pick them up? I will put up the $100 if someone can get them.

Shaun, if we get body parts we don't need to paint them, JC mentioned something about getting it down there and spraying the whole thing.

[offroad_joe]

Phil, You've got mail.

[Desert Jeepin]

I clicked the link on the top of your post burum@verizon.net

[Desert Jeepin]

Yeah, I just got them. Thanks!

[surveyboy]

LOL, I was just at magic mountain yesterday.

I know that chris is up that way, and I 'think' mike (jeepskickass) lives up that direction.

[Butler]

Joe, I'll pick them. Pm me the details.

[offroad_joe]

Butler you have a PM

[Lemoore-on]

I hav'nt been following this post and just read it. I wish I could make it, but cant. :( I cant even help out with $$$ right now.

Anyways, its a kick ass thing that you guys are doing, and I wish I could help. Rock on!

[offroad_joe]

I ordered the window seal localy from Classic Industries, they are down the street from were I keep my big rig, so I will pick it up one day on my way home.

[surveyboy]

cool. so it sounds as though things are working in that direction.

butler, are you gonna be heading up or do I need to try and get the parts from you?

[offroad_joe]

Butler is going to hook up with the guy and check out the parts, if there good he will buy them. I will take the long way to R/C 5 to 14 to 395 on Sat morning and meet him off the 5 somewhere and get the parts.

Unless there is someone close to Butler that is coming up and can give him the $100.

Unless there is someone close to Butler that is coming up and can give him the $100. The safest way to come up is 5 -&gt; 14! There is no need to ever touch 395 unless you cut across Garlock, but Krusty lives on the other side of town so there's no point.

395 is a death trap, and now it's a CHP trap since they've changed it's status to a safety corridor.

[ January 31, 2005, 09:20: Message edited by: DHeep ]

[offroad_joe]

I've always gone the 395 route up to Bishop. The few times I've taken the 14 it seemed to be alot longer. I'm coming from Orange County.

[Desert Jeepin]

You can 395 and it does work, don't get me wrong. I know 10 people personally that have died in car accidents on 395 between Adelanto and Ridgecrest.

There are SO many accedents that they have doubled the CHP's budget to run that stretch.

[Jeepskickass]

So Chris, if you can pick those parts up in the next couple of days, that'd be great. I'm not sure if I can get up there before Saturday. If not, I'll get them on my way up to Ridgecrest.

[RedNeckRea]

[offroad_joe]

Butler has the guys # and was going to get the parts if they are good. Mike is going to get them from Butler and bring them to ridgcrest on Sat. That was the last plan I had heard???????

Mike can you give Butler the $100 for the parts and I will give it to you on Sat?

Would it just be easier for me to go up the 5 and meet up with Butler Sat morning early?

[Butler]

Any way you guys want it. Looks like I will get the parts this afternoon.

[Butler]

O.K. I just talked to the guy again. I will pick them up tonight at 5. Mike, I have to drop off my truck in T.O. on Friday night so maybe I will swing by your place and drop them off? That way Joe can still get nailed by AAA with a badge for not having fenders or something. :D

[offroad_joe]

That way Joe can still get nailed by AAA with a badge for not having fenders or something. :D [/QB]:confused: :confused: :confused:
WTF??????

[Desert Jeepin]

Yeah, I'm lost.

[Butler]

If I drop off the fenders with JKA then Joe can still go up 395 and get a ticket from the CHP. Dig?

[Jeepskickass]

That works for me! What time Friday?

[Desert Jeepin]

So who's staying for Sunday?

How many people are we looking at housing?

[Butler]

[surveyboy]

well more than likely I'll be staying up there and since redneckrea is supposed to be riding with me, he'd prolly stay too.

[offroad_joe]

Butler called and said the parts are pretty nice. He said one fender had a quarter size rust spot but everything else looked to be in good condition. He will drop them off to Mike on Friday.

So this is what we have:
Joe windshield and seal, I will bring some wire and connectors.
Mike doors and fenders
Phil wiring harness
Krusty tools ?
Shaun will bring Chris (we need someone small to crawl under to run wires and get dirty)
Anybody think of anything else we will need?

[Chevyotki]

Beer!

[surveyboy]

did krusty get the carb fixed yet??

btw, I was planning on rolling in there about 9 am or so, if I can get chris to wake up that early LOL

[RedNeckRea]

Originally posted by surveyboy:

we'll be there bright and early.

[offroad_joe]

9am sounds good to me.
I haven't heard anything about Krusty getting the carb fixed. It will run the way it is, we drove it from the dirt road into Hesperia (sp) about 35 miles. We were running out of daylight and were going to be w/out lights. The float had swelled and was sticking so we field stripped it, shaved down the float and proceeded to put it back together. To say the least it was being a real bitch,we were having trouble with the choke and the metering rods so we cut the choke linkage.

[eurobob]

Can someone give me directions as a backup? I can get to Ridgecrest, but don't know where to go once I get there. I'll be following Mike up on Saturday and heading to the LBC on Sunday.

Are we the only people in R/C housing people?? We have a spare bed room, its going to be the baby's room soon, but for now its kinda the catch-all room, and we are more than happy to put someone up in it. I think we have an air mattress, but just to be safe I would bring one with you.... How many people are we looking at puttin up for the night?? Is it just Saturday night??

[surveyboy]

davia, I believe that theres maybe gonna be 3 people. myself, chris, and maybe bob for saterday night. JKA and Joe we gonna be going home saterday night. and yeah, it'd be just saterday night.

[Desert Jeepin]

No prob at all!!! Are any on you staying for the Super Bowl?? We have one kid at home, so no loud partying after to late, but that's pretty much the only rule... smile.gif Do you all need a seprate place to sleep, or what?? We have the one empty room, and our couch, and the floor... The couch doesnt fold out, but its very nice to sleep on!!

[Desert Jeepin]

I picked up Topo's lastnioght.

After 5hours I couldn't find my head from my ass.

[surveyboy]

bummer man. next time I'll bring the jeep up there and try not to cut a tire on the dirt road in :D

[Chevyotki]

I think I am going to run out there after work tomorrow to check out the spot we saw on the way out. I was going to go today, but had to work till 4:30 instead of my normal 2:00. Let me know if anything stands out on the Topo.

[Desert Jeepin]

We're gonna find this thing!

I've got the topos, and ARIAL IMAGERY from terraserver.microsoft.com

I've never seen it from the bottom. Is/was it narrow up top?

[Desert Jeepin]

Where is that one on the map?

Was it easy access???

[Chevyotki]

Not that I could tell, but we didn't go all the way to the top. There were some wild waterfalls though.

If you are heading toward Echo, when you make the turn to the right, start looking to the right and you will see a rock wall. That is the first waterfall, then it is a wash for a about 1/4 mile, then more rocks. Blocks 16 and 17 on the topo.

[Chevyotki]

If you go to terraserver and do an aerial zoomed all the way in of -117.47578 Long and 35.59379 Lat. I think it is the wash running across the top

[eurobob]

So Phil, when we going to make a run at this thing? I'm thinking sometime between TDS and Jambo.

[Desert Jeepin]

Sounds like a plan. Gotta make sure we can find it first ;)

Mark, I didn't make it out this weekend. Rain Friday, recovery Sat and Sun.

Maybe next.

[Chevyotki]

Let me know when you want to head out again.

[Desert Jeepin]

Friday or Saturday?

We're gonna wheel somewhere!

[Chevyotki]

I'm heading to Vegas this weekend, but let me know when you are heading out again after that.

[Chevyotki]

Phil- We are heading out toward echo on Saturday. We went out last Saturday and found a cool little trail, from what we saw. I broke a birf half way up, so I don't know what it looks like past that. Let me know if anyone wants to head out.

[Desert Jeepin]

I'm in. Call me tonight.
