SoCal/SD Crew: Superstition 10 (18-20 Jan) Planning Thread

[ecchamberlin]

Superstition 10 is being put on 18-20 January by San Diego 4 Wheelers Club. If you have been to one of these you know it is an awesome event. If you have not....well it just is. Trust us.

Although this Club and event are predominantly Jeepers, it is open to all makes and models. The SD crew usually has a pretty good showing at this event and other than some friendly Automaker Bashing it is not an issue.

This is the link: (thank you Mikey)

[RobT2K]

Hey!
Where did you get that picture??!!??
I was told all evidence was destroyed.

I'm a great shot though, if anyone else wants to try out that protective device.
;)

As far as Super 10 goes, I'm scheduled to work but will try to get the time off for the event.

[RATY4r]

arrggghhhh!! sometmes I hate my job. I'm being sent to Dallas for the whole month. I'll be freezing my a$s. Let's do a run before then?

[randver]

me and anna will be going. dont know if the wife will be going yet

[Phalanx]

I'll be there regardless... I just have to fix that whole no-e-brake thing

[wifesaysimadumbass]

josh isn't this your last run before you leave

[freejake3]

Hey Eric - any idea if Ryan is making this one?

[Phalanx]

I have till March, but its the last Super for a while http://www.yotatech.com/images/smilies/cry2.gif

[ecchamberlin]

Hey Eric - any idea if Ryan is making this one?


"Hey I don't need a lecture from you!" LOL Man oh man what a Richard!

I will ask him. I wonder if he may go out there with us but not do any of the crawler trails. I should see him at work tomorrow if not for sure on Saturday. I am gonna take lots of pics of the cruise.

[ecchamberlin]

I'll be there regardless... I just have to fix that whole no-e-brake thing


So when you go up to tech inspection I will low crawl up from the other side and put a rock in front of your pasenger rear tire so when you pull the e-brake it will look like it works to the inspector. LOL j/k.... no, but seriously how big a rock will I need?

So can we get a bomb digity cake from you again Josh? You know we worship your master cake skills! Shamelessly begs....please!

[wifesaysimadumbass]

cake cake cake

[randver]

what is this cake i hear of? for surely there are none among us that can make a cake. if so then let him step forward and show his might. And from that day forward we shall call him cakeman the savior of superstitions X.

[freejake3]

"Hey I don't need a lecture from you!" LOL Man oh man what a Richard!

Check my reply. If I do say so myself it pretty freakin' hilarious. Pay close attention to my referenceing HIS quote.

About the cake - bring that shiznit on brother Josh.

[ecchamberlin]

Yeah I did catch that Andy. Nice! I hope he loves the "quick" discos especially when he has to get out a tool to take them off anyway. To each their own I guess.

Anyway back to people who don't suck...

So, Josh. I just voted for you in the rig of the month thing so does this mean you will make us a cake? Hey at least I will admit to a bribe instead of calling it "Lobbying".

[wifesaysimadumbass]

CAKE CAKE CAKE

[freejake3]

Yeah, we all know you love cake..........

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m253/affinis/ove/barbie11a.jpg

[wifesaysimadumbass]

maybe we can keep the cake warm on this puppy.... mmmmm carne and cake
http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd81/wifesaysimadumbass/ImportedPhotos00056.jpg?

[Phalanx]

Carne cake, Tapatio filling, sour cream icing :thumbup:

[ecchamberlin]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The one you made last year with the Toyota logo was the bomb! Double Chocolate if I remember?

[wifesaysimadumbass]

just try to monitor curran he likes to eat so much cake he gets a tummy ache.

[DEATHRUNNER]

Well, in all my lameness, I am out. Yeah, yeah, I know. I was really looking to forward to hitting a trail sometime in this decade.

I was asked/have an opprotunity to play the NAMM show which is the same weekend. I will be at the annaheim convention center from the 17th to the 20th. It's cool too, because I've been teaching Alea to play bass and this will be her first time playing in front of people (There are going to be alot there).

Superstition is by far one of the most fun weekends of the year for me, I'm not to stoked to miss it. My buddies will be bummed too, as this has kind of become our "Escape the ladies" weekend.

I was think 2008 would be different, but looks like I'm off to a crappy start.

I'll be sure to keep up my web-wheeling. http://www.gotfootage.com/thumb/A-258/A258-340.thumb.jpg

[wifesaysimadumbass]

do any of you guys know where to find a good map of the area.... i know i've seen a trail map before and i just cant seem to find it anywhere time to start mapping this stuff so we can find it again.... sorry if i'm not a gps guy yet but i still like my 2d nav system

[elripster]

I might make it, I have to see if I'll be traveling or not. I have this new job looming.

Frank

[Marc P]

Registration is in the mail, e-locker is almost in, and winch is ready for install.....I cant wait for Superstition 10!!

You people in So Cal that have not been to this event...you need to join us.

[elripster]

It's looking very good for me right now. I should be able to make it. I still won't know for sure until after the 1st but right now I'm there.

Frank

[wifesaysimadumbass]

fartruk just got a little more bling bling i got a new thorley header put in last week and now my rig is purring

[ecchamberlin]

cool Mikey. Does it sound any different?

[wifesaysimadumbass]

not really... considering the old manifold was about cracked in half if anything it just has a nicer rumble to it

[randver]

i will bring 4-6 bundles of firewood, depending on how much room i have left. and hopefully one x-mass tree

[freejake3]

fartruk just got a new thorley header

Nice choice Mikey. I went with the Downey on my '85 and was not pleased. Had to get two
flange cracks fixed. YOu should get some good life outa that Thorley. Did you
replace the whole system. Flowmaster?????

[Tanto]

Not sure where things will end up around that date so I'm tentatively in for this one. I have always wanted to make one of these events but it never seems to work out.

[RobT2K]

Just don't do any early runs when you get there Ryan ;)

I'm on the fence as to whether or not I need a winch for my new TJM. I was looking at the Superwinch w/Synthetic line for just under $800 on winchline.com
http://winchline.com/mcart/index.cgi?ID=214367698&PID=IT192&code=13

Any thoughts? I just don't think I will use it that much. I've gotten by this far without one. And I've only been winched once by someone else.

[randver]

i say get it so you can wench my unlocked ass out of stuff when me you and eric go off on are IFSed 3rd gen own.

[ecchamberlin]

Lot of money Rob. I have thought a lot about this to but after lifting Marc's winch I am not so sure I want that much wieght on my front bumper. It is really heavy.

Welcome home Ryan. Gonna give you a call tonight brother.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

ryan's back? hide the women and booze!!!!!

[Tanto]

Yer damn right.

Got a brand spankin' new tire on there and warranty to boot so I'll still be making a pre-run if I've got the time.

[RobT2K]

I just got the confirmation of my days off for this, so you can mark me as a definite for Super 10!
I won't be leaving until after 7pm on Fri night though.
Also, I'll bring the Big can o'BEANS for the flatulence pyrotechnic displays.

[ecchamberlin]

Just bumpin this to see if anybody who has not seen this wants to come out and see how stupid we can get on a camping/wheeling trip.

I also have a thread on Adventure 4x4 for this event but no takers yet.

For those already on the list, bring Fire wood and your christmas trees. Ask Mikey why! LOL

Doing a Truckhaven run with the Adv4x4 group on Jan 6th if anybody wants to do a test run before this run.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

was out at superstition yesterday rippin around on my raptor man you look at that mountain from a whole different perspective when you have massive power and light weight....!!!!it was cold at night but the day was perfect

[Marc P]

MIKEY>>>>YOU SUCK!!

[freejake3]

I am not so sure I want that much wieght on my front bumper. It is really heavy.


I've always though a multi-mount would be perfect for just that reason.

MIkey - thanks for the invite but unfortunately had been working this past week. Glad
to hear the day went well. I hear ya' about the cold - LG and I went to Sheep Canyon last weekend and woke up the first morning to find the dogs water bowl frozen over. The wheeling was killer and there is plenty of water at the final crossing of CC; it was coming to the top of my grille at one point.

Looking forward to Super10. THe Taco is getting a new timing belt/water pump this Wednesday. After that, she should be good for a while.

BRING WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last year we got down to 25 degrees at night.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

yes lots of wood.... we need to have a ragin campfire this year!!!!

[RobT2K]

I've got my x-mas tree standing by in the back yard.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

make sure those trees are nice and dry boys .... i have positioned mine in the yard where the afternoon sun bakes it ...

[Marc P]

Are you going to have a tree pick-up service Mikey??

[wifesaysimadumbass]

ummmm no.... you got a roof rack!!!

[ecchamberlin]

I went to home depot last night and they have 2 huge construction dumpsters full of old xmas trees.

Wow that would be a a huge fire ball!

[wifesaysimadumbass]

hehehehe fire fire!!!

[Smiling_Jim]

Where you guys campin? Just in case I can make it.

I need to Armorall my tires first...

[Marc P]

There you are Jim...I thought maybe your new house fell on you.

We usually camp a little ways away from the check in area. Cell phones work good there.

[ecchamberlin]

Hey Jim. Long time no see. Like Marc said we can make sure you find us out there. As you know from last year it is a huge event so we will have to guide you in more than likely if you show up in the dark anyway.

Let us know what we can do to help you get out there.

[freejake3]

Love to see you out there Jim. Don't forget to invite Gavins friend with
the bike so we can anger the locals for Saturday's run.

What's the story with the food........

We need to get a list together for Saturday nights potluck.

I got the tortillas and home-made salsa handled.

Who's heading out Friday afternoon?

[elripster]

Maybe an agreed upon CB channel wouldn't hurt. But if cell's work that's cool too. It just easier if multiple people can hear the instructions at once over the radio.

I *hope* to be there Friday afternoon.

Frank

[ecchamberlin]

I will be heading up friday afternoon. Hoping to step off around 2pm.

CB channel.... Good thinkin. Hows about 34? Unless anyone has a problem with that I will list it on the first post of this thread also.

Remember that Ch4 is the unofficial off roader channel if you find yourself alone and in a situation needing assistance.

[randver]

we're bringing fiesta corn salad for the pot luck. we will not be leaving SD tell 4 or 5 so we will need to be guided in in the dark.

[elripster]

Well I first threw this one by the fiancee all was well but now with the count down to our wedding winding down I might just come out Saturday and play all day. I really wanted to make a weekend of it but there is a lot to be done on our end for this.

Frank

[ecchamberlin]

It will still be cool if you make it out for the main event runs on Saturday!



The first post in this thread has been updated with CB Ch 34 and pot luck food list.



If there is something else you want, let us know that you will be bringing it so we can add it to the list.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

i will be leaving around 4 or so too so if anyone wanting to caravan wants to hang with a slower moving trailer(all our rigs are slow)i also have monday off so i will be staying till monday if anyone wants to hang out and chill sunday i'm sure alot of you have that day off too

[ecchamberlin]

yup. Monday off also. Anthony and I were throwing that idea around also. Maybe. See how the kid does.

[Marc P]

You guys suck :flipoff:

[elripster]

Alrighty, I'm in for Saturday. Me and a wheeling buddy I haven't seen in ages are going leave early and find you guys. My truck isn't terribly built so I won't be on the hardcore trails but still, I wanna wheel!

It's be fun no matter!

Frank

[RobT2K]

Leaving Friday night late, and Sunday morning early.

[randver]

where comeing out after work friday. and the only way i can stay tell monday is if someone gives the wife a ride home sunday, since she has to work monday.

[Phalanx]

My truck is still at Protrux, and I havnt fixed my brake problem yet!! AGGGHHHH!!!

[ecchamberlin]

you got to make this one Josh. Isn't this the last wheeling trip with the group before heading off to school? Hope you can make it.

This may be my last big run before heading up to the Port Hueneme (Ventura/Oxnard) area. It is not all that far away so I will probably be able to come down to do some after I get out of training though.

[Smiling_Jim]

Josh, I may need a spotter. And I'm sure other guys will have open seats, too.

So come out, even without yer truck :D

[wifesaysimadumbass]

alright guys i need a head count with everyone that is coming with you so i can order carne

[randver]

me+wife+anna=2.5

[Marc P]

I will be there with my fat gut.

[Smiling_Jim]

Me and Son (Gavin) or nephew (Russ).

[freejake3]

Luke and I will be joining the fun. Don't forget your money for the raffle. THere was some big winners last year. Oh yeah - last year it was 26F at night so bring your cold weather gear.

Eric - how far is that from Big Bear? I wanted to to an April trip so hopefully it's not to far.

[ecchamberlin]

Me and the Gabe! Thanks Mikey.

Andy I will have to mapquest it for the actual miles. It is just north of LA though. No doubt I will be exposed to new trails when things calm down for us up there which is cool but I'll miss the group and trails I learned to wheel with/on.

Group hug?

[ecchamberlin]

Mapquested it.

Oxnard to Big Bear is 157miles
Santee to Big Bear is 145miles

So not really any diff. It will go from going 3hrs north to 3 hours east.

[freejake3]

Cool. How long will you be up there? I'd like to start the spring BB trip so we all can get up
there twice a year. Between that and Superstition it's all good.

Let's get a tree count as well.....just for the health of it.

[ecchamberlin]

I will be up there for as long as I can project out. At least 4 years. Hopefully 10 years though. I want to get Gabe into a school system up there and be able to let him stay in it for most of his school years if posible. Our dual military lifestyle is going to transfer some hardships onto his shoulders but I want to minimize that as much as I can. This is the best way I can do that. Just more options as far as command to command in the same area. This is not the case for me here in SD. My Seabee commuity is not very big here but up there it is. So I should be able to do 3 tours up there without moving again.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

i got 2 trees so far

[randver]

i got 1

[freejake3]

I'm thinking I can easily find 2 to bring.

[RobT2K]

I've got one tree.

[Marc P]

BRING WOOD


or freeze......

[randver]

im planing to bring 3-5 bundles of wood like last time just depends on how much room i have

[freejake3]

Here's what we're looking at for weather. Perfect.

http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/92259?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared

[elripster]

Well I don't have any trees but my and a buddy are definitely heading out early Saturday to find you all.

Frank

[Tankota]

How come I always have to miss the biggest coolest parties and the best food?

My truck is right in the middle of a major face lift at the moment. Its getting the whole nine yards. Crossover steering, new front springs and shocks, axel gussets, longer driveline and hopefully 35's. There's a very slim chance that I might make it one of the days, but I wouldn't count on it. For those of us that cant go, I want to see a couple gigs of photos posted up when you get back!

*Warning* Hijack alert.
Also where have people gotten drivelines built in San Diego. I've got the whole long-spline kit but I don't feel like building it myself.

[Marc P]

Sorry you are not going to make it.

For driveline work there is only one place.....go see Tim at Driveline Service of San Diego on Morena Blvd. Tell him Marc Pilchen sent you. He has done all my work.

[Tankota]

Thanks Mark. I'll have to give them a try.

[wifesaysimadumbass]

yeah you'll get the marc "im a cheap ass" discount.... no seriously tim is the man

[ecchamberlin]

That is some funny stuff right there!

Hoping Gabe and I are out from under this bug we got. As things are right now we may not make this run. Always something, you know?

[freejake3]

Luke has the stomach flu right now. Nothing like school as a breeding ground for every germ known to man. I'll be there regardless..........although the guilt can be murder.

EC - start pounding the OJ

[ecchamberlin]

Oh man I have been. See if that helps any cuz it is givin me some crazy gas!

[wifesaysimadumbass]

eat two whole cloves of fresh garlic you will smell like sh*t but any thing will be killed by that

[randver]

Eric if you have someone kick you in the junk a couple of time what ever you where sick from no longer bothers you. and since I'm in the medical field it must be true. let me know how that works for you Eric

[wifesaysimadumbass]

hey andy you know if you bail that weekend without the kids Nikole will cut yours off and keep it in her purse for awhile

[blacksheep]

Have fun guys! Sorry I can't make it.

[freejake3]

hey andy you know if you bail that weekend without the kids Nikole will cut yours off and keep it in her purse for awhile


No shiznit. Looks like Luke is bouncing back quickly so we should be good.

For all newbies, make sure you check the website EC posted on the first page for the SD4Wheelers requirements for the runs.

48 hours and counting.

Who's got wood?

[Marc P]

IS IT FRIDAY YET :flipoff:

[Tankota]

Dangit! My truck is so close to being done. Thinking 'bout pulling an all-nighter out in the driveway. That still prolly wont get me rolling in time. Just my luck I'll finish Saturday afternoon. :clap:
All I need now is build the driveline, weld in the shock mounts and get new tires. Of course a test drive might be in order too. :hillbill:

[Tankota]

IS IT FRIDAY YET :flipoff:


For once I wish Friday was a few more days away.

[randver]

[elripster]

So what runs is everyone thinking of doing Saturday?

Frank

[freejake3]

God, I hope I don't have the runs on Saturday.....

[elripster]

He he... that would be unfortunate. Bring your shovel.

Frank

[randver]

get some Imodium AD. its the best for stopping the runs

[Marc P]

Hopefully by this time tomorrow I will be drinking a cold one in the cold desert.

Frank, you might have fun on Rabbits Foot or Lost Duchman(sp). I will probably do Tilted Table again, but the oposite way we did it last year. Just be prepaired to go really slow and make a lot of stops.

got wood?

http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/local/USCA0332?from=search_city

[Tanto]

I'm out. Going to Vegas with Delesa for the weekend before I deploy. Shouldn't be on deployment long though, so I will see about arranging a wheeling weekend in Feb.

[elripster]

Hopefully by this time tomorrow I will be drinking a cold one in the cold desert.

I'm thinking lost dutchman. I have two thirds ready for regearing and a Truetrac awaiting installation but have not had time so I'm sorta stuck on on the easier stuff.

Frank

[Marc P]

You will find Lost Dutchman plenty challenging and fun.

As far as Sat night dinner goes, here is the list. Looks like Eric and Gabe are out with the flu, so we should divide up the items.

[Tankota]

You punks have fun out there and dont break anything too big. I'm out for sure now. Everything will be done in about an hour here (i'm off work today) except for the drive shaft. The driveline shop said it will be done by Monday. Crap!!
Unless I wheel in 2wd, yea right. Anyone have an extra long travel driveline? :clap:

[elripster]

I wanted to thank everyone for the awesome grub last night. I wish I could have stayed the weekend just have too much wedding stuff to do. We gotta head back out there soon. It's very cool that the SD4wheelers spend so much time and money to keep our OHV areas open.

Frank
