[Fusion213]

I think I got a 91 F-150 4x4 to come out with me too... and maybe a jeep cherokee(it's old and might blow up, rofl).

 

[Mendonca00]

[Mendonca00]

[Chief34]

I am still working on my V8 and 5 speed swap, but I dont think there will be a problem finishing in time. I will go if all is well!!!! I cant wait to go wheelin again!!

 

[Fusion213]

Chief, I REALLY hope you can go, I want to walk under your truck.

Mendonca00, I actually live in Visalia, Exeter is so UNBELIEVABLY close. We can travel in a pack!

So we're going to be in pismo for two days, right? Where are some good places to stay at that isn't TOO expensive?

 

[section525]

The beach! I actually think a lot of people will be camping out there! (weather permitting for the wussies )

 

[Mendonca00]

Yea i just requested that weekend off and they told me I could have it off! So count me in! I dunno if I will be staying the night out there....but, if my bro wants to then i geuss I will too!

Hey warform you always cruisin in Visalia? I wanna see your explorer...anyways I work at blockbuster on mooney so if you ever see a 96 green explorer come on in and point out yours!

 

[Mendonca00]

Hey guys, do you think I will even be able to make it out there with a 2" tt/warrior shackles and 31s? Cuz i'm still not gunna have posi....cuz I had a really bad experience last time! =(

 

[sirhk100]

BTW, I must be an idiot cause in my last post I didn't mention that I'm leaving for Pismo tonight... I won't have my Exploder up there though. I'm riding up in a white f/s chevy and will be riding a white '03CRF450 dirt bike. If anyone is out there and sees me say hello!!

 

[GIJOE]

Mendonca00- Dont worry about it you will do fine out there lots of us are 2wd and a few have the same setup as you.

 

[Mendonca00]

Alright what are lockers and should I get them? If so, where can I get them, how much do they cost, and how hard are they to put in?

OH yeah count me in! I'm off the 25th and 26th! I'm trying to get my friend to take her moms AWD out there....but shes lazy....lol sooo yeah!

Lockers are the ****. It basically makes the axles spin as one, instead of one losing traction and freewheeling and the other one doing nothing. Basically, it'll get you through a lot more obstacles and help ya stay unstuck.

Lockers can get very expensive, not to mention the cost of install. I wouldn't mess around with gearing myself or locker installs, so I had someone do it for me. I think there's one out there thats just a plug-and-play type of thing, thats easy to install. (somebody else might wanna talk about this).

Parts
-anywhere from 250-850

Install
-usually about 250/ax.

so how many total trucks do we have going so far??? and guys, let me kno ahead of time who's gonna camp out there because i might have to make a camping reservation.

just checking in from my brothers place in SLO. we are going out to the dunes at grover beach (i think) tomorrow to ride. i'm actually in pismo right now at my brother's house. damn houses are tiny out here.
i've never seen so many lifted trucks in my life as out here in cali. every body and their mom has a pre-runner styled truck out here! its obvious that a lot of them are street queens still, but geez! and i'm from the redneck south! saw a mcneil built explorer (at least the sticker says so) in SLO yesterday. it looked like it actually gets used a lot though! i had to take a pic of it. weather is nice but its been really foggy on the beach. not just in the morning either, its been like that all day today.
i'll look around for any explorers but i've only seen that one here. have fun on your run guys!

Count me in for one truck. I am either going to drive the X down or cruise down with my friend in his truck. As far as camping I am still considering motel 6.

 

[96XSport]

Have we decided on an exact time and location of the meet?

 

[Fusion213]

Count me in also. I'm not sure about camping yet. I'll get back to you on that.
