Is Aftershock being led by Gold Coast Wheelers, or is it Gold Coast Cruisers?

They volunteered and I didn' think we'd have a bunch of people beating down the door to do Aftershock. I haven't told them yet.


Fawk... Hey Krusty, do you want to lead Aftershock and have those guys for trail bitches?

[Aaron]

Dave ...you should contact Rusty and Randy....They know the Hammers well and we could use the help to run all the trails.......Camo may have a rig together by then too

[RE:Todd]

Give Sledge to Lemoore-on, I'll roger up with him now

[Krusty]

if no one else wants it in the next two months--- i'll take Aftershock

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

I added Lemoore-on to Sledge... Phildo, can you authorize his login to post in this forum?

And for that matter, if you can read this, my vote is you should be able to write here also.

Dave

[RE:Todd]

I also posted on the Pirate thread, no raffle until the tail gunners report in. It's been an issue the last 2 years with trail runs still being out when the raffle goes down. Maybe we should say "20 Rigs. period" or something????

[Krusty]

I have seen rigs line up, and not make it past the sand dune--- it will be up to the trailboss to check for trail-doable rigs---(ie: a showroom navagator it the line for backdoor)(washed/waxed new runner for sledge)

[Krusty]

Would be GREAT if trailbosses had a common radio that would reach camp---- report in if MAJOR problems and require assistance or 'rescue'.

[Hotrod]

Well shit I would like to at least run tail end charlie, I know I got a jeep but oh well.

[Lemoore-on]

[Krusty]

I totally forgot about Tcase gears (probably cause I'm deficient in that area :rolleyes: )

[Krusty]

Ya STILL didn't get Ryan to do the run TO the sand dunes !!!! He can't DO the dunes,(a jeep thing), but he could show the way there !!!!!!

[Lemoore-on]

Damn, I'm a slow typer!

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

Originally posted by Lemoore-on:

put yours backup, or add the Tcase gear section to mine smile.gif

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

I'm gonna kinda lean away from talking about Body Damage. We're trying to do this the right (read - conservative) way and inidicating the chance for damage only puts us in a bad position.

just my .02

[Krusty]

suggest--- Aftershock--tires 33"/or larger, low gearing PREFERRED, MAY incur body ding to right side- tow straps &/or tow attachment points preferred.


I would like to add for all runs----roll bar or top,seat belts, something to drink, snacks a good idea, flashlite, and first aid kit REQUESTED, fire extinguisher REQUESTED.

[Krusty]

oops,------ top/roll bar, seat belts REQUIRED !!!!! other stuff requested !

[Mustard Dog]

I would like to see something in the regs like TDS has as far as minimum equipment.

Is there a way to have minimum requirements for each run on the sign-ups?

[Krusty]

Seat Belts, metal top or roll bar,fire extinguisher, tow rope/strap/cable/chain/or winch are the TDS required. First Aid Kit, spare tire, C/B are 'recommended'.
We are closer to camp for the most part - so the spare tire-?- (I can't see why a 'parking brake' would nessarily be a required item !)

[Mustard Dog]

I'll tell you right now (and Krusty and Phat Pat were there) I was fukin pissed at being denied my trail on my first Jambo because some fukface tried to run it with a scabbed together tie rod :mad:

I'm gonna hold my own tech inspection on the line to my trail. Fukfaces don't get to run.

I'm gonna hold my own tech inspection on the line to my trail. Fukfaces don't get to run. That's why we are trail bosses. Let's adopt some Cal4Wheel rules. Fire extinguisher, strap, tow points mandatory in addition to what's listed. First aid kit and comms highly recommended.

Dave, for SunBonnet, I want 33's, locked F and R, and gears. Hopefully not too many show up with less than 35's. Do you think the splinter obstacle can be done with less than 35's??

[JeepRecoveryTeam]

[penguinofdoom]

i can take tail-gunner on aftershock.. or maybe i'll tag along on sunbonnet. it sounds like fun.

by the time of the jambo, i'll have a raceradio / ham to offer..

[Krusty]

Lance-- I would enjoy haveing you on the Aftershock run !!! you know the trail, and if I get lost---- you can point out the trail !!!!!!
By this time next week i will have both C/B and 'raceradio' in the Krustoy. :confused: :D

for your new radio I'll bring mine to TDS and we can
tune up that new antenna for you. It takes a different
meter than CB.

[Krusty]

Eggcelent Gary!!! I figured it would be different cause of the power and 2m stead of 11m- Thanks
I got tired of hearing JC crying and whineing bout radios--so I broke down and got one-----

About 90% of the TDS members now have 2M and we almost
never use CB. I'll put the SWR meter in the camper
when I get home tonight so I don't forget it. :D

[zags]

You guys need me to lead a run? If not I'll follow John up Bender alley.

[TheNerple]

Hey Dave,
I don't know that one needs to have a winch as mandatory as Chris and I have never had one operational, nor needed one. Also I wouldn't be opposed to having 10 rigs along so long as all of them were pretty capable. I don't know how many of the Arizona guys are coming but I'd hate to see them not be able to get on the run because it was full. Anyway it's of course totally up to you and whatever you decide we're happy to comply with.

Erik (The Purple Samurai) The limit is just a starter, I'm sure we'll probably allow a couple extra... as far as a winch, I know you've done it, I also know that Aaron required a multiple winch point recovery to get out. You guys will be your on your own up there and I want you to be prepared as possible.

[Krusty]

Could be two runs----- an hour apart ?

[pedro zuk]

Lookin good.. smile.gif

[Krusty]

just thinkin----if I have 20 rigs-- me on the front, penguin on the rear-- might be a GOOD idea to have a middle !! ten rigs from a host is a bunch !!!!then again, who is gonna 'spot' for me ????????????????????????????????

[TheNerple]

Well, we just need to get the winch cable back on Chris' junk and we'll have an operational winch. Chris and I plan to run the trail a few times prior,just to find some of the easier spots in case people have some problems. We broke that trail with 3 rigs in under a few hours so I hate to lead 5 people up there and be done in under an hour or two. I guess we could always just run some other trials.

I already talked to Chris about this. With the trail "capped" at 5, you still have 7 counting you and Chris. And the cap is soft, if we need to and more, and we will, we can, and will, at our descretion. If we put the cap at 10, we'd end up with 15 :rolleyes:

You'll have as much as you can handle, trust me.

Dave

[Lemoore-on]

Hey Dave, put Flash down as my Tailgunner on Sledge.

[Krusty]

Nerple---- if you need a winch cable---- I have an extra !! 3/8" @95' but I am useing the hook--- good shape- Sandy Claws brought me a new one--------

[ITS PAT]

KRUSTY I HAVE A BRAND NEW SWR METER HERE AT MY HOUSE. NEED IT?

[Dychen]

Hey pat, is that SWR meter for a CB or will it work on the 2 meter freqs? (144-148mhz)

[Krusty]

a SWR meter -- probably C/B- (11 meters), I bought Art's a couple months ago-
2 meter takes a different meter- :(
The radio I bought was on a link that JC posted--- ICOM, V8000, and I got the mobile/mag mount antenna to match. (sent from Sunnyvalle,bay area, 3 days delivery UPS)

[ February 16, 2004, 21:17: Message edited by: Krusty ]

[ITS PAT]

I THINK ITS PROBABLY JUST FOR CB'S. ILL CHECK.

[jschell]

I signed up for the jambo, but my name got put on the wrong run, I wanted to go on sledge hammer, instead it says bender alley, probably my bad, but can I get it changed? Let me know. thanks
