6th Annual Pismo 4runner Jamboree, Oct. 10-12, 2008

[Tofer]

ok i am still very much in the air about this trip... i'm going to do my damnest to be there...

[Seanz0rz]

hey, does anyone coming have an obdII reader they could bring with? the friend with a ford ranger has a code, needs to get read so i can help him fix it (stupid fords...) would appreciate it so much! thanks!

I can bring my ScanGuage or if I can find, I'll bring my OBDII laptop adaptor and we could read it off my laptop.

[Seanz0rz]

sweet man! greatly appreciated! i owe you a beer.

[net4n6]

Do you recomend that we take our bycicles to Pismo? I saw couple pictures from previous year that someone brought their bycicles with them.

[slosurfer]

I wouldn't suggest bicycles, they would be a pain to ride in the sand. Although at low tide, I suppose you could ride down near the water, where the sand is more compacted.

[cooldry]

You can ride bike in low tide. Need to air down, but just remember it's salt water. I wouldn't ride a bike you really care about. It'll really screw up your components and better wipe it down as soon as you're done or it'll rust.

[4x4mike]

It would be more hassel than it's worth.

[net4n6]

No bike for me. Thank you. 7 more days.

[2ndGen]

i need a 5spd shifter knob if possible.

[Tofer]

i dont want to hijack this thread.. PM me. but i dont have a 5sp shifter.

[stormtaco]

i have a obd2 reader also, and 2ndgen maybe you will win a nice new custom aluminum shift knob, i will be finishing these up mon. i will have three of them. all tapped to m12x1.25 thread with a set screw. oh and 4 more days of that place called work :clap:

[expatoz]

Scott,
If you decide Friday (might be morning though), planning a convoy with Sean and Jenn's group. Waiting to hear back on their timing. Nice to hear you're going. I'm starting @ 101 & Lost Hills. PM me if anyone wants to caravan.


What time you leaving from 101/Lost Hills? I'm at 101/Kanan.

[mysticzt4r]

Chris,

Can you please add 2 adult and 2 children to my guest list. They will be there with us but they are staying in the hotel near the ranger station entrance.

Also need to order 3 more Sourdough bread bowls for them.

Funds sent.

Thanks

[slosurfer]

Masa, no problem! I'm not too sure how accurate my head count is anyways, lol. I got your payment as well. Are they riding with you or bringing their own vehicle?

For everyone else who hasn't paid yet and wants clam chowder, you have till the 7th. That is when I will be putting the order in. :thumbup:

[mysticzt4r]

They are coming in their Honda Odyssey family van.

[slosurfer]

Nice, I want to see them jump it. :hillbill: Are those all wheel drive? I always see a bunch of minivans out there along the beach (not too many out in the dunes).

[mysticzt4r]

LOL I serious doubt it will even make it to the jump point. I was wrong it's not a AWD.



Nice, I want to see them jump it. :hillbill: Are those all wheel drive? I always see a bunch of minivans out there along the beach (not too many out in the dunes).

[Tofer]

i'm 90% sure i will make it. i bought paddle tires for the quad today. i am going to the bank and depositing all the cash i have made the alst couple days and then paying bills... as long as i can find $400 somewhere in the mix i'll see ya;ll in the sand.

[slosurfer]

Tofer, you'll make it!

Me and Joey are trying to figure out how to get your quad to the beach from where he's dropping off the tow rig.

[stormtaco]

RIDE IT! hahhahahhaha

[slosurfer]

:lol:

[Tofer]

dont put it past me.... my neighbors are getting used to me riding wheelies down the street :D http://gator528.hostgator.com/~wreck123/community/images/smilies/sport.gif

[slosurfer]

Sounds like you need a set of these then. :laugh:
http://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/866112513.html

[Tofer]

lol.

[YotaGirl]

lol that looks like the same quad we have (minus the lame ass wheels)!

[Tofer]

are you bringing it? i'm hoping others will bring their quads and dirt bikes as well...


*** IT'S OFFICIAL ****
i just got done paying my bills, putting money into savings (yes, I'm still trying to put money into savings even being unemployed) and "hiding" the money in different accounts for later in the month, and i still have the ~$350 I'll need for gas money. i'll have to do 60mph the whole way to conserve on mpg but oh well. I am doing laundry and getting pack today and tomorrow and i'm heading south on Tuesday...... i'll figure out the rest once i get to CA, but i think i'll just end up driving the whole way, i have too much camping gear and crap not to bring my own truck. i'll just have to pay for the camping spot.

I'll see ya'll in the sand on friday!!!

[YotaFun]

SWEET!!!!
Awesome dude!
If we get the pickup fixed here at Jenn's then Jenn and Justin will be bring there quad so.

[slosurfer]

Tofer that's great! :thumbup:

[stormtaco]

well i woke up this morn. with the worst sore throat i have ever had and meb md signs and symtoms said it could be strep, :( so i am sleeping on the couch all day, and going to the doc tomorrow. need to work on the runner. this sucks!

[slosurfer]

:( That sucks! Get rest and antibiotics from the doc.

[cplvc]

What time you leaving from 101/Lost Hills? I'm at 101/Kanan.


Wow you're really close, I missed a chance to meet you last year. I'm trying to coordinate with SeanzOrz / Jenn, I'm thinking between 10A - 12P. Even a little later is fine by me. What time are you thinking of leaving?

[YotaFun]

For those going to caravan with Jenn Justin, Sean, and I, we will have to follow the motor home at like 55 miles an hour unless you all can come help us fix the front suspension.
The front passenger air bag has a leak in it and we need to pull it out to patch it...
I mean it can be driven with out but if we can fix it we can go a little faster lol

[mysticzt4r]

Chris,

I found out I have to meet the trailer guy at 12pm at the ranger station entrance, will anyone be at the camp site? Guess I have to push up my time schedule with things to do to prepare. He said I have to be on site to pay the camp site fees and to show him where to setup the trailer.

Do I need a another camping permit for the trailer? Or is the one I have for my Runner enough?

Thanks

[slosurfer]

Masa, I'll try to be there, but that might be in between my first and second trip taking stuff out there. I will for sure have the camp area set up prior to then and should be able to give you a good description of where to park it.

I'm going out there first thing in the morning to set up the camp and may have to run home to get my camping stuff. I'll be sure to be in touch with you and let you know what is going on.

Your camping pass should also cover the trailer as it is good for a vehicle and one legally towed vehicle/trailer.

[mysticzt4r]

Cool thanks Chris, I will be monitoring the CB as I get closer but I can give you a call on your cell when I arrive at ranger station.

Thanks again :thumbup:

[slosurfer]

No problem, Masa! :thumbup:

[slosurfer]

Weather looks like it is going to be nice. :D

Weekend weather forecast (http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/weekend/USCA0796?from=36hr_topnav_outdoors)

[2ndGen]

well i'm still here in Indy, will fly back to LA late tuesday. then, i need to have the CB installed along with couple Lightforce 240's, hopefully i'll be leaving very early saturday morning.

well, here is a pic of the famous 3 feet of brick.

[net4n6]

Do they allow dog at the camp site?

[slosurfer]

Yes they allow dogs. I don't bring mine because he's not too fond of the bouncing around. Also the loud noises from motorcycles atvs freak him out.

Yeah he's kind of a wimp, lol.

[cooldry]

I'll be bringing one of my Labs. Seems he has no problems with the bouncing after Joshua Tree. This will be his first visit to a beach.

[net4n6]

Cool. I will bring mine. Mine went offroad with me before.

[cooldry]

Hey Chris, I was thinking about maybe doing some clamming since it is Pismo. Do you know if it's okay to catch clams where we'll be. Also, are there any clams there. I've heard it isn't what it used to be.

[iceman601]

I was thinking about the same thing and found this:
http://www.classiccalifornia.com/clamming.htm

-salt-water fishing license required
-Clams must measure 4 1/2" in diameter
-Limit of 10 clams per person per day

[slosurfer]

Yep, what he said. :)

If you don't have a clam fork, you may be able to rent them somewhere. I might even be able to get some from my grandpa.

I heard there aren't many out there anymore and I never see people clamming out there. They saved the otter but in turn wiped out the clams. :)

I remember going out there as a kid with my grandpa and catching our daily limits and then making homemade chowder. I hope the clams come back, because it will be sad if I can't do that with my kids. It was so much fun.

Let me know if you want me to track down a fork or two.

[cooldry]

Cool,

If it isn't going to be too much of a hassle and it isn't going to be an inconvenience, I'd really appreciate it if you can get a fork. But if it's any trouble at all, please don't feel like you have to. I can always use a shovel.

Thanks

[2ndGen]

be sure check with DFG see if fishing license is required, just don't get yourself with a $500 ticket

[all_set]

Low to moderate wind and NO rain expected. Might luck out and have a beautiful weekend!

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:

An intense ridge of high pressure will continue to build over
California.

Gusty northeasterly (offshore) winds, clear skies and warm
temperatures will develop along our coastline during the morning hours.
The winds will shift out of northwest (onshore) during the afternoon
hours producing cooler temperatures and even a few areas of coastal
low clouds along our northwesterly facing beaches during the late
afternoon hours. Otherwise, the rest of our area will be clear.

Note: At 6:15 a.m. the northeasterly (offshore) winds reached 17.7 mph
sustained with gusts to 39.0 mph at the Diablo Canyon
meteorological tower. As the air column descended over the Irish
Hills towards our coastal canyons, it was compressed. When air
is compress it heats up (ideal gas law). The air temperature
at Diablo Canyon reached 68.9 degrees at 6:30 a.m. while at
the same time the Paso Robles Airport was reporting only 44
degrees.

Inland temperatures will reach the high 80s while our coastal valleys
will in the low 80s. Coastal temperatures will mostly be in the 70s,
except for Avila beach and Cayucos which could reach the low 80s.

Warm sunny days and cool clear nights will continue through this week.
The storm track will remain far to the north and rain is not expected
over the next 10 days.

WINDS:

A pattern of fresh to strong (19-31 mph) northwesterly winds
during the afternoon hours, decreasing during the evening hours
and shifting out of the northeast (offshore) during the morning
hours will develop today and will continue through Thursday.

The northwesterly winds will gradually decrease on Friday.

Gentle to moderate (8-18 mph) northeasterly (offshore) winds
are expected over the weekend.

[slosurfer]

All set, welcome to UY. :D

Tony, I'm almost certain that you have to have a salt water fishing license to go clamming. Unless you are under the age of needing a fishing license.

[all_set]

See if this comes out legible. You’ll need tide info for clamming right?

It's been awhile since I've visited the beach frequently, but I have never seen anyone clamming the 4x4 area. But I was mostly an evening beach goer. Now shore fishing.. Always lots of people fishing.

As stated, you will need a saltwater fishing license to clam.

[slosurfer]

As a kid we used to do it along the 4wd section, but maybe now they just do it between pier ave and grand ave entrances. I don't think you are allowed to do anything past where the dunes are closed at the south side, but I could be wrong about that.

[slosurfer]

[xonetruthcrewx]

Colin, bummer man! Maybe next year....

Are you guys still going to that concert in SB?


Yeah it sucks, but what can you do? Dont think we are gonna make it to see Rollins either. Sucks cause I already spent 70 bucks on 2 tickets. Not to mention that I have REALLY wanted to see him for quite a while now. Also sucks cause they are will call, which makes it so I cant sell them or even transfer them. Oh well, such is life.

[DHC6twinotter]

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm233/DHC6twinotter/IMG_2445.jpg

[slosurfer]

Sounds like something you guys can knock out in a day. :D When you're done, go give Lance a hand. :wrenchin: :laugh:

Spray some of that green slime fix a flat stuff in the airbag. I'm kidding, unless it will work. :hillbill:

[Seanz0rz]

i really dont see how you guys are going to get that pickup done in time...

as for me, its a long list:

finish making skid plate, gusset necessary areas. paint skid plate.
fix elocker. wiring problem?
make fog light brackets, install fog lights. install driving lights.
clean out 4runner.
clean out tent from the flies at big bear in august.
pack.

[DHC6twinotter]

Spray some of that green slime fix a flat stuff in the airbag. I'm kidding, unless it will work. :hillbill:


We actually are thinking about trying that. :hillbill:

[DHC6twinotter]

i really dont see how you guys are going to get that pickup done in time...

Yeah, we are cutting it close. Once the spring hangers get welded on, everything else should bolt together pretty quickly (I hope). I just hope we can get a drive shaft made in time. :D

[YotaFun]

Yeah the drive shaft is the one thing that is worrying me the most.
as for the RV no harm in trying the fix a flat stuff, but the direction call for spinning the tire after you put the stuff in, well, unless we roll the RV over a few time it might not work lol.

Crunch time, I had a feeling I would be wrenching most of the time I was out here...
The only Vaca I am getting is at Pismo lol!

[slosurfer]

Haha, way to go Jenn, you flew in your very own pit crew! That's awesome! :laugh: Get to work boys! :wrenchin:

[DHC6twinotter]

lol...got to earn our stay somehow. :laugh:

I hooked up thier surround sound system too. :D

[YotaFun]

Haha, way to go Jenn, you flew in your very own pit crew! That's awesome! :laugh: Get to work boys! :wrenchin:


LOL!
I told Lance I would come work on his junk, but Jenn dragged me into working on hers, especially the LC....



lol...got to earn our stay somehow. :laugh:

I hooked up thier surround sound system too. :D


LOL yeah we do!

[YotaGirl]

Thanks for all the help! I love you guys!!!!! :love: :love: :love:

I have faith that we'll get everything done in time. But if not, oh well... we'll still have an awesome time! :thumbup:

ok back to work for me.....

[Tofer]

well i've made it to CA.. the quad is locked up at Joeys (i figured with an over night stay in stockton, its safer there....) and i'm in the bayarea/Sac/Stockton area for the next couple days. then i meet joey at his place at 9am friday and we'll be on our way.

and it was told me me that a Blue/white/neon pink camo paint job would look sick on the truck. lol... i'll pick up some white spraypaint if someone wants to grab some pink. lol

[slosurfer]

hmmm.... I'll have to see what colors I have. :laugh:

[cooldry]

I've got red. :thumbup:

[stormtaco]

well i have to stop and get beer and food and i am ready, went to change cap and rotor, and guess what needed to change wires to buy the time i was done doh! hey chris are the any bait and tackle shops in pismo or near by? thanks james oh ya 8 more hours or work. :drink:

[slosurfer]

I know there is a bait shop on the Pismo Pier. Other than that, probably even the local grocery stores have bait. A quick google search only turned up the pier one, Port San LUis, and Virgis Fishing in Morro Bay. Local yellow pages, the same. :headscratch:

You should call the ranger station tomorrow and see what they suggest. They might even know what's working and what they are catching now.

[stormtaco]

cool chris you rock. :clap:

[Tofer]

I've got red. :thumbup:


how patriotic..... red white blue and neon pink.

[all_set]

It was cold last night. (Although Very hot during the day..)

(Report from today, 10/9/08)

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:

A major change in the weather is underway as a cold low plunges
southeastward into southern Nevada on Friday, and in combination with
as intense eastern Pacific high will produce moderate gale to fresh gale
force (32-46 mph with gust to 50 mph) northwesterly winds along our
coastline today through Friday.

The marine influence along with cold air aloft will give much cooler
temperatures throughout our area today, in fact as much as 30 degrees
cooler from yesterday's highs. Areas of low clouds, fog and marine
haze will develop along our coastline during the evening and morning
hours.

Both our inland and coastal valleys will only reach the 70s while our
coastal temperatures will range between the high 50s and low 60,
except for Avila beach and Cayucos which should reach the 70s.

Another northeasterly (offshore) wind event is forecast on Sunday
and Monday, giving another round of clear and warmer weather.

Still no sign yet of any rain as the storm track will remain far to
the north.

Note: Hurricane Norbert may impact Cabo San Lucas on the southern
part of the Baja California peninsula late Friday through
Sunday.

WINDS:

Moderate gale to fresh gale force (32-46 mph with gust to 50 mph)
northwesterly winds will develop along our coastline today and will
continue through Friday.

The northwesterly winds will decrease on Saturday.

Gentle to moderate (8-18 mph) northeasterly (offshore) winds
are expected on Sunday through Tuesday.

DIABLO CANYON AIR TEMPERATURES:

[elripster]

Well all, Claire and I wish we could be there. I hope much fun is had and no one breaks down too badly. I'm recovering from Tuesday's shoulder surgery so post up a bunch of pics when you all get back!

Frank & Claire

[slosurfer]

We'll miss you guys as well. Here's to a quick recovery! :drink:


Tofer, I got some nice paint colors out of my dad's shed, haha!

[slosurfer]

For those that can't find their way out of a paper bag, I made a sign so you won't drive past our camp on the beach. Haha!

We'll be right around Pole 6, but you shouldn't miss this.

What time does the group expect to leave from Northridge?

[Good Times]

Chaos Edition is alive!!! Unless I encounter any uncertain issues I'm driving up :D

Sean please call me as I would like to try and caravan with you guys. Btw you think you can do me a huge favor and come by my place to pick up that extra box? I don't think it'll fit in my 4runner :( I haven't checked yet though but I think we should finalize this at 5 am when you guys leave.

[YotaGirl]

What time does the group expect to leave from Northridge?


I'm guessing around 8 or so. I would like to get some pics of all the yotas in front of the dealership. Plus Lance and Avy actually need to purchase parts.

[Seanz0rz]

leaving later than planned. Within the next half hour hopefully. It's Avy's fault. Haha see you up there!

[slosurfer]

Wait, shouldn't Avy still be on east coast time, he should have been ready 3 hours ago. :laugh:

I'm hoping to leave the house around 8 to go set up camp.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

[slosurfer]

[cooldry]

You guys are boogers. I can't leave until tomorrow morning. But man am I looking forward to it. I really need this trip. Hopefully I'll make it out by 5AM as originally planned. I have to go to Oktoberfest tonight. WOO HOO. See everyone there soon. :drink:

[cplvc]

I'm leaving around Noon from 101 / Lost Hills (Calabasas Area), if anyone wants to meet up I'll have my radio on channel 16. I'm planning to get there around 3PM.

Windy!!

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITION:

The low pressure system over southern Nevada is now intensifying as cold
air currently over the Pacific Northwest digs southeastward into Southern
California and Nevada.

This condition will produce moderate gale to fresh gale force (32-46 mph)
northwesterly winds along our coastline today and will give much cooler
temperatures. Areas of marine haze should develop along our coastline
during the afternoon and evening hours.

Both our inland and coastal valleys will only reach the high 60s while
our coastal temperatures will range between the high 50s and low 60,
except for Avila beach and Cayucos which should reach the 70s.
Saturday will begin on the cool side as a result of lighter early
morning winds and a cooler air mass in place.

The low over Nevada will move to the east and be replaced by high
pressure on Sunday. This will produce another northeasterly (offshore)
wind event on Sunday and Monday and a Santa Ana in Southern California.
Offshore winds may become somewhat gusty on Monday and will raise
fire weather threats.

Still no sign yet of any rain as the storm track will remain far to
the north.

Note: Hurricane Norbert will impact the southern part of the Baja
California peninsula tonight through Saturday.

DIABLO CANYON AIR TEMPERATURES:

Min Max Min Max Min Max

WINDS:

Moderate gale to fresh gale force (32-46 mph) northwesterly winds
will develop along our coastline this afternoon and evening,
decreasing tonight.

Strong to gale force (25-38 mph) northwesterly winds are forecast
on Saturday.

Gentle to moderate (8-18 mph) northeasterly (offshore) winds
are expected on Sunday through Monday.

Fresh to strong northwesterly (19-31 mph) northwesterly winds will
develop along our coastline on Tuesday, decreasing on Wednesday.

Light and variable winds are forecast on Thursday through next
Friday.

[cooldry]

Better bring some cardboard. Thanks again for the updates allset.

[slosurfer]

Yes, it's windy. I just got home from setting up. It is just past pole 6, look for the sign on the beach. There are already people there and more arriving throughout the day/night. I'll be back out there around 4. My 4runner/trailer are out there though.

[all_set]

Any pictures yet? Lol.

Very very windy. The Kite surfers (kite boarding?) should be out in force.

[iceman601]

Heading out from the SGV 5 am saturday morning, will be there around 8.

I remembered last year I got there at 8 am everyone was still asleep and things didn't get rolling till 9 or 10 ish...maybe I should sneak in a air horn :hillbill:

[slosurfer]
