Ladies and gents,

It's time for the 6th Annual Pismo 4RJ! Last year's Jambo was a huge hit, and we plan on making this year's even better. Come out for some sun, sand, food, wheeling, prizes, and good times. This is a family friendly event, so bring the whole family! For those that didn't get to attend last year, or for those who just need a refresher to get the blood pumping, Last year's Pismo 4RJ (http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=2762.0)

Once you are in the park, head South down the beach. The camp area will be right at pole #6.
The camp will be between the high tide line and the restrooms which are a couple hundred yards in towards the dunes. We should be the biggest group out there that weekend so we should be pretty easy to spot.

Pack up
Trail run for those that are interested. We will hit the Chevron Station to air up and fuel for those that need it. Hi Mtn. Rd. up to Hi Mtn. Lookout (2WD friendly), from there we will have a few options. For those with 4wd and not too concerned about brush scratches, they can do some of Garcia Ridge Trail, others can continue on Hi Mtn Rd. to Pozo (and then out to Hwy 101), or others could backtrack on Hi Mtn. Rd. to Hwy 101. (I will provide directions and I will post them here with GPS coord. so you can copy them yourself also).

*Jenn of JnJ has been nice enough to volunteer to come up with some activities for the kids. If you are bringing kids, please post up their ages so that Jenn can have a decent idea of the age groups and how many. Also, if you have any ideas let either me or Jenn know. Jenn, thanks again!*

Some suggested items to bring for dune running and camping:

Spare set of keys (sand can have a funny way of swallowing up important things)
Water for drinking, cleaning, etc... especially if you are camping
If tent camping, some kind of sand stakes or at least heavy items to leave in the corners of your tent.
Toilet Paper :poke:
Warm clothes (it can really cool off at night)
Wet weather gear (we'll keep an eye on the weather as it gets closer)
Small broom and dustpan for those tent camping (it won't take you long to figure out why you need it)
Shovel (helpfull for many things in the sand, in the camp and while out on the dunes)
Snatch strap (no metal hooks!)
CB or at least some of those little handheld family radios (we will run both)
Piece of plywood or other wood to put your jack on to keep it from sinking in the sand in the event you need to use it.
Fire Extinguisher
First Aid kit (we will have some out there, but it is always a great idea to have a small stocked one in your vehicle)
....more to come as I think of other things

Clam Chowder!!!!!!!

The clam chowder will be from Splash Cafe (http://www.splashcafe.com) and you will have your choice of a bowl of clam chowder or clam chowder in a toasted sourdough bread bowl. :drool:

I am asking that you prepay for your clam chowder, so I know for sure how much to get. Also, that's one less thing you need to worry about once you are there. There is a slight chance that there will be extra available for those that don't prepay and want to buy it there, but don't count on it.

The regular bowl will be $5.00

The sourdough bread bowl will be $7.00

I must have your order and $$ by Oct. 7th, 2008

You can paypal me at stovertileanddesign@charter.net Make sure to include your name/username and what you are paying for. If you don't have paypal, pm me for other options.

For those that haven't had it before and are wondering, the bowl on its own makes a decent size meal and the sourdough bread bowl is a huge meal. Don't miss out on this tradition!

We will be serving it in camp from 4-6pm on Sat. Oct. 11th.

[YotaGirl]

Of course we'll be there (Jenn, Justin and 3 yr old Caity)! We'll be bringing the motorhome and the 86 4Runner.

[Seanz0rz]

ill be there for sure + 1, maybe +2 (well know that as the date gets closer!)

i cannot wait for this event. i look forward to it every day!

[iceman601]

Count me in +1 :D

[slosurfer]

Jenn, you guys are going to have to hurry up and long travel that 4runner. :D

[slosurfer]

I posted this link in the first post also:

Luv 2 Camp Rental Trailers (http://www.luv2camp.com/index.html)

For those that want more comfort than a tent. They pick up and deliver the trailers for you, so no hassle. At Surf N Turf, usually a couple families will go in on one, as they are a little pricey. Anyways, just wanted to put the option out there.

[4x4mike]

I think I'm in. I have to talk to the wife and Paddlenbike.

[slosurfer]

[cooldry]

Count me in +1, maybe 2

[xonetruthcrewx]

Hell, I guess I will grace you all with my presence. Haha. The Touareg will have its "gettin shitty" shoes ready to go as of today, so I really have no excuse. I will come out and show all you "Toyota folk" how things are done. Haha.

It will be myself plus 2. The Wife and Daughter who will be going on 3 by then. Cant wait.

[TRACKER]

count me in
86 4runner

[mysticzt4r]

Tracker and Mystic, I got you guys added to the list. :thumbup:

Yes I did, I gave it away to a fellow off-roader. I forgot who that was though. :laugh:

Nice, that was very nice of you! :thumbup: I was wondering if we were going to see you out there with a new custom bumper.

[BruceTS]

I'll definately be attending.......

[chrisyota65]

im in and i will be bringing my 86 yota and +1 i think

[xonetruthcrewx]

Well..... I am backing out. Hell, I dont even have a Toyota anymore, I even sold the offroad setup for the Touareg.

The real reason though, the Wife and I are going to see Henry Rollins in Santa Barbara on the 11th. As much as I would like to go, Henry Rollins is way cooler.

Have fun though and I will be looking forward to the pics. I want to see more jumping this year. More than last year. I want to see you at least 6ft out Bruce. :clap:

[slosurfer]

chrisyota65, I got you added to the list. Welcome to UY. What kind of rig are you bringing.

Colin, bummer man, I was hoping to see the "egg" in action. Have fun seeing Henry Garfield, that should be pretty cool. Although it's only a little over an hour to Pismo from Santa Barbara, seems a shame to be so close and not show up. :D

[xonetruthcrewx]

Haha, It was a thought, but the show isnt til 9pm. It would make for a super late night. I just cant hange these days doing stuff like that. And like i mentioned above, I sold the offroad setup for the treg. Just rockin the 20's now. Dont think I can air those down much. Ha!

[slosurfer]

I hear ya, there have been many times we've been to the bowl for a concert in the middle of the week. The drive back after is a killer.

How wide are your 20's, you probably don't have to air down. :D Last time I was there, I pulled a Subaru WRX out that made it way out by the dragstrip till it got caught in a bowl with really soft sand and framed itself. That thing did pretty good once I pulled him out. He drove out fine from there and I don't think he was aired down.
(Pic compliments of Milton aka Cabbage)
http://miltonyin.com/Pictures/Yotatech/08062103.jpg

[xonetruthcrewx]

Haha. Thats awesome. The tires on the treg are 275/45/20. I could probably air down a bit and it would probably do alright. The tires do have a M+S stamp. Haha.

Rollins isnt til Saturday night. Maybe cruise to Pismo Friday after work, camp that night, hang out Saturday for a while and then head to Santa Barbara. Hmmmmm. Its a definite possibility. Just under 100 miles from Pismo to Santa Barbara. Gotta talk to the Wife. We'll see.

[chrisyota65]

sbsurfer i got an 86 yota and 33" tires

[xonetruthcrewx]

Thinking more about the pic you posted Chris. Back in high school I had a 86 Honda Civic Wagon 4x4. It was a cool car. I remember that we took it out there and screwed around on the dunes and that was with pizza cutters for tires. Something like 185's. Haha. Then one of my friends had a 89 Subaru Wagon. We made it all the way out to comp hill one time. Didnt get stuck once. I remember us passing a Range Rover that was stuck. The look the driver gave us as we passed by. Haha. Priceless.

Anyways, the Wife and I will be there. Not gonna camp though. We will be there first thing Saturday morning and most likely hang til early afternoon before we head off to Santa Barbara to go see Henry Rolling. We will see how the 20's do out in the sand. I can air down some. Probably 25ish psi. The 275's should do alright though. Well see. Alright, Looking forward to this again.

[slosurfer]

Colin, that sounds like a good plan. Should make for a killer getaway day. :smokin:

It's amazing how well you can do out there with careful driving. I love seeing 4wd cars out there zooming around stuck H2s. :laugh:

[chrisyota65]

cool bro cool post about back in the day

[YotaFun]

If Jenn is nice enough to loan me a truck,
and
My delayed start at UTI doesn't interfere, I am thinking of flying out there.

So possible 1 here :D

[elripster]

Well, with the heaviest of hearts, Claire and I won't be making it. However, I'm totally down to donate for the raffle. Here's the deal, we are going to do this run.. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=247251&posted=1#post247251 and spend 2.5 weeks in SoCal over Christmas. That's when I'm going to shop like mad for a truck.

Basically I just don't have time to truck shop, wheel, get home... all that in time for the Pismo Jam this year. Work has me travling in a lot, just not to San Diego darn it. Once I get the SoCal truck situation ironed out this will all get a lot easier.

If anyone is planning some Winter wheeling, hopefully we'll be able to make it.

If anyone is selling a 4runner or pickup around them, I might want to buy it.

Frank

[Seanz0rz]

sorry to hear that frank! you will be missed! and yep, we are all down for some winter wheelin!

I will be talking to the school to push back my start date this week some time.

So its a definete 1 from me :D

:thumbup: I think that there will be a garcia run on sat and sun so you can pick which works best for you.
Even if it's not built for the dunes, you'll be surprised how much fun you can have out there with your rig.

Haha, hopefully the Taco will be running. :D A few more races and you will have broken and beefed up just about every part therefore making it indestructable. :thumbup:

Yeah almost :D ...but I heard couple of others were not so lucky. It was raining and his pen ran out of ink :angel:

****Public Service Announcement**** :(
Folks, although its really tempting make sure you drive speed limit on the beach its 15 MPH and no higher. State police out there are ready to give tickets. You can do whatever on the dunes though :hillbill:
****End of Announcement****

[DHC6twinotter]

Looks like I'll be there with Avy, Sean, Jenn, and Justin. :D

[DHC6twinotter]

Well bummer...looks like Avy might have me beat on distance. :hillbill: Only by 30 miles though, according to the great circle map.

[YotaFun]

I better!
Lolo I got to win a least one thibg while I am out there!
No matter how big, I can still ship!

[YotaFun]

[stormtaco]

any word on shirts and stuff missed out last year. thanks james

[slosurfer]

any word on shirts and stuff missed out last year. thanks james


Shirts are being designed as we speak and I should be finding out the clam chowder prices tomorrow.

Also, we will be doing some kind of funny/wacky tshirt contest, so start finding your wacky tshirt to wear. Details will be coming along shortly.

[iceman601]

nice :thumbup:...can't wait to see them.

[slosurfer]

Bump! Make sure to check out the growing list of sponsors!

Thank you to all our sponsors!

Please remember them when it comes time to modify/fix your rig. They do a lot to keep our sport alive and well.

[JOSHH]

FYI, It looks it might be a little crowded out there. I just found out there are some motorcycle races taking place that weekend.

http://www.centralcoastmoto.com/mc/page.do?sitePageId=71869&orgId=ccma

[slosurfer]

Oh Crap! Last I had heard was that it got cancelled for this year! I specifically checked about that race before planning this. Last year, it was scheduled for the weekend after the Jambo. It was cancelled due to some environmental BS, looks like they must have got it figured out. :( I'm not too upset about the crowd, because it will still be nothing compared to the summer crowds, but if they have a bunch of the dunes roped off for the course, then that will suck.

I'm going to look into it right now. Thanks for the heads up.

[slosurfer]

Sent them off an email asking about it. We already plan on camping further down the beach, so we may just want to go a little farther. Hopefully I'll hear back from them soon, concerning what parts are going to be roped off etc....

It does sound like they have some cool stuff going on.

I would suggest getting your camping passes now from www.reserveamerica.com just in case.

[chrisyota65]

we cam always go and check out the races on the dunes. i never saw a race on the dunes that is really cooooooollllll

[slosurfer]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. I just want to make sure that we will still be able ride in most of the dunes.

I've emailed one of the guys in charge, hopefully I will hear back from him tonight.

[YotaFun]

this better not effect the date!
I think i will wait till you get an official word before i get my plane tickets...

[slosurfer]

Avy, I don't plan on changing the date! Others already have reservations and I thought you and Dan already had tickets. Our riding area may just be cut down some, but it sounds like we won't get bored. They have some cool races it looks like.

I just want to get in contact with them so that we don't run into any potential problems.

[YotaFun]

Dan is almost there i think.
Me... yeah... still have to get my tickets....

[slosurfer]

:thumbup: Just got an email from the head guy for the race. Everything is going to be fine.

It will be slightly more crowded than last year and I still suggest you get your reservations now, but he doesn't foresee the dunes selling out of reservations. He also said that this year's event will be smaller since they are not doing the watercraft event.

We will still have plenty of dunes to run on our own. Basically we have all the back dunes and west of sand highway (once the course gets to sand highway, it stays east of sand highway till post 16, if that far). He said there are some really good spots to watch the race back there as well. We should also be fine in our original camping area near pole 6. The pits/starting area for the races will be at post 4.

He invited us to everything. They will have food vendors all day Sat. and Sun. and on Sat. night they will have a BBQ (need to find out the price). That way, those that don't like clam chowder will still have an option on somewhere to get good hot food on Sat. night. He also invited us to watch movies on a big screen at the beach on Sat. night.

On top of all that, we will be able to watch the races. They will have motorcycles, quads, side by sides, and some mini buggies.

He also asked me to pass along that they are still looking for volunteers to be course marshals if any of you are interested.

This should be a fun weekend and will be anything but boring.

[Seanz0rz]

cool!

so for me and every other n00b, what exactly do we reserve? lol.

[slosurfer]

Sean you f'n noob! :loser:

www.reserveamerica.com

Type in: Oceano Dunes SVRA in the location search and put Oct. 10, 2008 for the date and then put 2 in the length box, then hit search

Basically you reserve a "site" for the nights you plan on camping, but as you know they don't have sites. What you are reserving is the camping pass. The "sites" are the number of camping passes that they allow per day. Normally in the summer weekends they sell out of the camping passes well in advance. Off season they don't and you can just buy them at the kiosk when you get there. You probably still won't have a problem doing that for the event, but you are better safe than sorry.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

And if you dont get a pass, which has happened many times before, you can buy a day pass and we can camp your happy ass out in the neighborhood. Done it before, not really an issue except when we had to cram about 9 guys in a 4runner to get everybody back to the campsite for the night, lol. I think that was in steve's 4runner

[slosurfer]

:lol: That must have been fun!

That is one reason why we moved this thing to after summer.


Normally, I don't reserve a camping pass just incase someone who does have one has to bail, then I can help them out by buying theirs (cough..Jason..cough :D ), but this year I will be reserving mine early.

So be forewarned, get your passes everyone. :angel:

[Seanz0rz]

reserved. thanks chris!

i just wanted to make sure i, and everyone else was crystal clear on exactly what to book. confusion sucks. so i figured id ask before another n00b did! :flipoff:

[slosurfer]

No problem Sean. :thumbup: Thanks for helping clear it up!

[JOSHH]

Should still be fun. Races should be fun to watch. Just have to be very careful of ATV's flying around, but that pretty much goes for every weekend.

[slosurfer]

:4x:

[slosurfer]

Sunday I went out to the dunes and met up with the Icon shock crew. Great bunch of guys, got to hang out and check out their LT Tundra. It's very nice! There's a very, very slight chance some of them may be joining us, but they have stuff every weekend that the company is involved in for the next month or so.

Oh yeah, they also gave me a ride in this: :flipoff:
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/slosurfer27/IMG_8010.jpg

Absolutely amazing! Although, now riding around the dunes in the 4runner seems pretty tame. :laugh:

Thanks Icon gang!

[JOSHH]

That looks like the best way to get around in the sand. :thumbup:

Question: If you only buy a day pass, do you have to leave when the sun goes down?

[slosurfer]

Question: If you only buy a day pass, do you have to leave when the sun goes down?


With the day pass you are good till 11pm.

[slosurfer]

Clam Chowder!!!!!!!

The clam chowder will be from Splash Cafe (http://www.splashcafe.com) and you will have your choice of a bowl of clam chowder or clam chowder in a toasted sourdough bread bowl. :drool:

I am asking that you prepay for your clam chowder, so I know for sure how much to get. Also, that's one less thing you need to worry about once you are there. There is a slight chance that there will be extra available for those that don't prepay and want to buy it there, but don't count on it.

The regular bowl will be $5.00

The sourdough bread bowl will be $7.00

I must have your order and $$ by Oct. 7th, 2008

You can paypal me at stovertileanddesign@charter.net Make sure to include your name/username and what you are paying for. If you don't have paypal, pm me for other options.

For those that haven't had it before and are wondering, the bowl on its own makes a decent size meal and the sourdough bread bowl is a huge meal. Don't miss out on this tradition!

We will be serving it in camp from 4-6pm on Sat. Oct. 11th.

***This is also posted on the first page, post #3 of this thread if you need to find it again.****

got the material today should turn out pretty cool, i am going to bug mac, and snap on to get some stuff also, maybe so screw drivers or so, cant wait.

:thumbup: Sweet! Let me know how it goes with the tool guys. ahem... Calling Xtoolpimp....

[blackrunner]

hey chris

long time no see. havent been to the dunes since last year's Surf & Turf

put me on the list, i am planing to attend.

eric

[slosurfer]

Hey Eric,

Haha, cool! I was wondering if you were still around. I'll add ya to the list. :thumbup:

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I just got my reservations :-)

[YotaFun]

I need to talk to jenn and sean, I don't know if I should make my own reservations.
Should I?
I will be bringing a truck but jenn was going to be setting me up with camping stuff.

[slosurfer]

Avy, the camping pass actually goes by vehicle. If they are towing a vehicle then the camping pass also covers that vehicle. The number of people doesn't matter.

Fees include entry for 1 vehicle and 1 legally towed vehicle per reservation. Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended.

Last year I had two vehicles there but didn't tow either of them, so I had to have two passes.

You'll have to find out what Jenn's gameplan is. :D

[L33T35T Tacoma]

There are still over 750 spots available according to that website, so it doesnt seem like it's going to be very full

[slosurfer]

Thanks for the update. :thumbup: There's a good chance that many of the racers are staying in hotels off the beach.

[slosurfer]

Big thanks to all our sponsors and members who are chipping in. :clap:

It is much appreciated. :thumbup:

For those who haven't, be sure to check out the raffle list on the first page. :smokin:

Don't be a :loser: and miss this event! :laugh:

i lost my job yesterday..... so we'll see if i can afford to make it.... i'm still hoping i can show up.

:( Sorry to hear that. I hope you can still make it.

[YotaFun]

sucks to hear the news.
hope you can still make it!
nothin like fun in the sun when things are shitty

[net4n6]

What's about the shirt. I don't hear any shirt for this year. Do we have T-shirt for this year?

[slosurfer]

Yes we will have a shirt and it should be up soon. Sorry, we're a little later than last year on it. Between the two kids/business and Lance with his business/getting Chaos Edition ready, it's made it a little tougher this year. Also, we're not going through cafepress this year, so it's a different process.

I'll post up on all the boards as soon as we have it. :thumbup:

You can still buy a shirt from last year if you want to as well. :D

[Tofer]

i lost my job yesterday..... so we'll see if i can afford to make it.... i'm still hoping i can show up.


I applied for unemployment yesterday.... assuming nothing goes wrong with my old company and they try to deny me, i'll be getting 430/wk. this will be real tight, but i should be able to pay my bills and still make it down there...
sucks to hear the news.
hope you can still make it!

[slosurfer]

Tofer, you make it down here, and I've got your clam chowder bowl covered for Sat. :thumbup:

[2ndGen]

chris, pm me your address, i may have a small chance missing it. i wanna send you the money for my chowder and the in-cab winch control first.

[stormtaco]

only 18 more days of horible work till the fun :clap:

[YotaFun]

I can't wait!
My flight is booked!
and the north east just pumped my stress level up a few knotches.
I am ready for the fun!!!

[Tofer]

:yikes:
Can't you bring them with you!?!?!?
I guess this mean i will have to meet you some other time during the two weeks I am out there.

[slosurfer]

Bob, you suck! :flipoff:

Have them meet you there. There drive will be shorter. :)

[cooldry]

Bob, you suck! :flipoff:

x2 :D

[stormtaco]

17 more days of work :clap:

[Bob98SR5]

no can do as they have a lot on their agenda. chris: i'll make a separate trip up to you re rust repair once things settle down on my end

[Tofer]

i've set up some side work helping someone frame a shed. so i'm going to use that money to make it down there. i just sent the quad to the shop for its 20hr check up and i'll be ready to rip it up.. so i'm 90% sure i'll be there. is there room at someone's camp site that use that way i can just pay the second car fee vs having to get my own reservation?

[Seanz0rz]

there is no camp site or second car fee. fees are based on each vehicle that comes in under its own power. you camp where ever you want, which will be somewhere close to the rest of us.

[slosurfer]

Tofer, if you have a towbar for your toyota, you can have it towed onto the beach as their "towed" vehicle. It has to be "legally" towed though.

[Tofer]

got it.... i will just pay for it then.... i'm looking forward to this.

[stormtaco]

16 more days of work, this is all i can think about now.

[jdholder]

Love to join you all - just think of my truck as an OVERGROWN LAND CRUISER (Ford Excursion)!!

We are more than happy to have ya. :thumbup: If you're interested in clam chowder on Sat. night, check out post 3 for the details.

[Good Times]

Sorry guys I've been slacking on getting the tee ready. Been busy juggling work and fixing the 4runner (doh!)

Here's the front/back tee. Whatcha think?

I should have it ready for purchase in the ultimateyota store.

http://www.ultimateyota.com/pichost/images/lance/2008PismoEventTee.jpg

I'll have the prices for the tee once I get pricing from my screen vendor. Should have it up tonight.

Thanks!

[YotaFun]

SWEET!!!!

[Good Times]

I also finished the event packet. It has all of the information available in this thread current as of today. It also includes an event waiver that I would appreciate if everyone completed it and brought it with them to the event.

Download event packet (http://www.ultimateyota.com/docs/6th%20Annual%20UltimateYota%20Pismo%204runner%20Ja mboree.pdf)

Thanks!

[xonetruthcrewx]

What are the color choices going to be for the shirt Lance? I would very possibly buy one if it came in black.

[iceman601]

Woohoo 15 days left :clap:

Nice work on the shirt :thumbup:

[Good Times]

Colin, I'll find out but may have a difficult time just getting a few blacks since I'm trying to do a batch job. We'll see what they quote me and go from there.

[slosurfer]

:thumbup: Sweet! Good job Lance!

Could we do another pdf that just has the registration pages for those that don't want to print the whole packet?

[Good Times]

Chris,

you should be able to select what pages you want to print when you print in your printing settings. But if you're lazy and want me to make another one just tell me what pages to bundle and I'll redo the pdf for ya :)

[slosurfer]

:laugh: I wasn't sure how easy it was to select the pages (it's been awhile since I printed a pdf). If it is that easy, then we can keep it how it is. :thumbup:

[Good Times]

Are you bringing your fishing gear this year again? We might need some fish to grill along with the clam chowder. :D

[stormtaco]

yes fishing gear in hand and i am mailing you money tomorrow, and the call it fishing not catching so we will see how that goes :fishing:

[stormtaco]

hey good times is there a way you can hold a shirt and hoodie for me and i can get them when i come down, if poss. xl shirt and 2xl hoodie. thanks james :bowdown:

[Good Times]

James,

I can definitely do that for all UY orders. Just let me know and I can definitely bring em with me!

Everyone else,

Get in your orders for the tee's. I may order a few extras but not a lot since it's all out of pocket for me on this order.

[cooldry]

Hey Lance,

what's the update on the black tees. I'd like a black one, but if you're not going to be able to get them, I'll go ahead and get the white.

[slosurfer]

Lance, what day do people need to order by?

[2ndGen]

Chris,

my dinner money and the winch control were shipped to you yesterday, could be delivered today or monday.

Lance,

i need a t-shirt and a hoodie, please let me know if i can pick them up myself.


looks like this trip will be my last with you guys out in a long while, me and my gf are getting married and will move to indiana around chrismas, she's just got her second master's degree and a good offer over there making twice as much as i do now, so the move is pretty much a no-brainer.

..... i hate to ask but i have to: is it Oct. 10th, yet??

[Good Times]

Ok, I got pricing on the black tees but it's going to cost way too much so I'm not going to go ahead with the black tees. The only way I would see us doing black tees are if we get well over 20 something tees. The reason is because there is a separate setup fee for black tees and that's where it hurts us. Also black tee screens are a few bucks more anyway.

Those that purchase UY gear and want me to bring it with me to the event, please go ahead and place your orders and I will confirm with you via email to make sure. That way I know what orders to hold.

Everyone else, event tees are up for sale in the UY store so go at it :D

[Good Times]

[hijack off]

[slosurfer]

Congrats Tony!

I'll let you know when the package arrives. :thumbup:

[2ndGen]

ok, i'll check the size for the hoodie and probably placing my order tonite.

[stormtaco]

good times i will take one xl pismo shirt and one 2xl hoodie, and i am having a hard time printing the packet.

[2ndGen]

i'm trying to bug my boss for some schwag, maybe some thermoes which can keep coffee hot overnight.

[YotaFun]

Lance, You think you can wait till I get paid next Thursday for my order?
I can pick them up at the event of course :D

[Good Times]

good times i will take one xl pismo shirt and one 2xl hoodie, and i am having a hard time printing the packet.


Just place the order online and I'll make sure to bring the tee/hoodie to the event.

Did you successfully download the pdf?

avy, that's fine. I'm preordering 36 tee's in assorted sizes. Hopefully all of them will get sold if not I'm stuck w/ a lot of cool pismo tees ;)

[stormtaco]

my computer sucks it hates pdf's can i fill it out when i get there, i know i am a pain.

[Good Times]

I'll email you a word version in a bit.

[slosurfer]

Tshirt orders need to be in this weekend as the order goes out on Monday.

PM me if you don't do paypal and want to pay another way as that is not a problem. We just need to know what you are ordering.

Also, SMALLS are not available at that link for the shirts, but if you need a small PM me and we'll get it ordered.

[Good Times]

I've added "Small" to the mix in the storefront to clear up the confusion.

[slosurfer]

:thumbup: Thanks Lance :D

[expatoz]

Ordered my clam chowder and my site. Having trouble ordering the T but will pm ya if I can't get it to work by Sat am.

Hey Lance - can ya bring my cache of goodies from last year, to Pismo, if you still have 'em? I should have grabbed them from you the time I came down to get your help with the steering spacer but forgot about it.

Can't wait for Pismo 08!

[Good Times]

no problem mark

[mysticzt4r]

Placed my order for shirts and hoodie.

Please bring to Pismo also.

Thanks.

[slosurfer]

Hey Lance - can ya bring my cache of goodies from last year, to Pismo, if you still have 'em?


Nope, you waited too long. :laugh: YOu're going to have to try to win them back again this year. :flipoff:



Just kidding, oh and pm Lance if you have troubles with the tshirt ordering. He's the tshirt man. :thumbup:

[expatoz]

Ok, finally got the T ordered. For some reason Paypal was not accepting my Mastercard so did it with Visa, but you might have had several orders without payment go thru, because I got emails saying the orders had been processed even tho no payment details were included! (except for the final Visa order) So to clarify I only want the one T.

Thanks guys.

[Good Times]

Mark, I saw the 3 transactions but don't worry make sure to cancel the other 2 transactions.

[expatoz]

Thanks Bro :thumbup:

Hey Gabe, I was wondering if you were still around. :thumbup: I'll add you to the list.

It looks like we will have a good group of the little kids, which will be nice since they can entertain themselves.

[2ndGen]

chris,

good to hear you got them. i'm still working on the schwagzzzzzz.

lance,

had my order placed and paid via gaypal, i can either pick 'em up locally or at pismo.


thanks both of you dudes for your hard work. rock on!!!

[Good Times]

Pismo tees will be distributed at Pismo. I'll be picking them up on Friday October 10th from my vendor.

Thanks!

[UKMyers]

The wife and I were just looking at the massive attendee list this year and was wondering what everyone thought about doing up some nametags. We could just take some white labels and black permanent markers and have people make them when they signed in. I know in the past I've found out after an event I was camped out right next to someone from the forum who I'd talked to many times online and didn't even realize who it was till after the event. What do you guys think? Nametags with your SN and real name sound too far fetched?

[YotaFun]

I think that's a brilliant idea!

[slosurfer]

Joey, that sounds like a good idea, I'll see what I can come up with.

[YotaFun]

I will check the staples by work for ideas!

[UKMyers]

Let us know what you come up with. We can buy some supplies and bring them also.

[slosurfer]

Joey, I'm replying to your PM right now. :laugh:

I'm sure they have those nametags at Staples or does anybody work in an office and can snag some from the supply closet. :D

We can just put them with the registration table and goodie bags. :D I'm sure I can supply some sharpie pens for them.

Maybe we should all start getting diecut stickers of our screennames to put on our rigs.

[Seanz0rz]

Maybe we should all start getting diecut stickers of our screennames to put on our rigs.


way ahead of you...

[UKMyers]

Now that's a good idea! I've been to a ton of forum related runs where this would have come in handy. My rig is on the net enough though that most people know who's rig it is :hillbill:

[freefallmarine]

You guy's are going to have so much fun!!!!

[YotaFun]

I got several ideas from staples that I will post up when I get home from work my time 9 (6 yours) and we can go from there, maybe we can even design them so that there is a little ultimateyota symbol on the side. Or something.
I have 3 printers to do it.
Again when I get home I will upload the pics from my phone of the ideas and we can discuss. :)

[slosurfer]

way ahead of you...


Nice, where did you get it done?



You guy's are going to have so much fun!!!!


Yes! Yes we are! :D

Okay chris can you PM me your email address so I can
Send you the pics to go with these posts.

So our options are as follows:

1) Plain & simple "Hello my name is.." Adhesive Name badges in either your choice of red or blue.

2) Blank (or with design) adhesive badges.

3) Pin name badges with design (imho best option)

4) Clip name badges with design (most expensive)

5) Hanging name badges with design light duty with white rope

6) Hanging name badges with design heavy duty with black rope.

Those are the option, enclosed is also a rough scetch of the design.
Pretty much they will be either black or red with the UY symbol in the right corner and roguh terrain leading up over it...
Then there will be a line for user name and real name.

Keep me posted you already can see what option I think is the best!

[YotaFun]

[YotaFun]

Anyone have any thoughts?

[YotaFun]

I would like to try to get a final thought by 8am my time (5am yours).
This way I can print them and then laminate them at work.

[slosurfer]

Avy, if you laminate them, can we still write on them? Laminated would make it nice to be able to punch holes in them for some string or something.

I'm sending you another idea by email in a few minutes. So far I like the dunes one. :thumbup:

We should be able to with sharpies, just got to let them dry a second and then they should be good

[YotaFun]

Chris Here is your idea I implemented two different ways.
Tell me what you guys think.
I can go back to work later to get the laminated.

[slosurfer]

That's awesome that the sharpies will work. These will be cool. :smokin:

I like your original dunes version and the last one you did on the right (dunes filled in with red). Either one works for me. :thumbup:

How much red ink do you have? :laugh:

[YotaFun]

I have three printers so I ha e enoguh!
100 name tags will do or do I need more?

I will get right one these when I get home right now I am busy resetting 16 ft of soup listening to thwe good the bad and the ugly of the 80s....

[slosurfer]

right now I am busy resetting 16 ft of soup

:laugh: I'm not sure what that is, but now I'm whistling the good, the bad, and the ugly.


I would say you could probably do 75 and that would be enough.

[stormtaco]

8 more days of work :drink: :fishing:

[YotaFun]

8 more days of work :drink: :fishing:


2 more days till I fly out there!
God I can't wait!
I literally flew out of the parking lot at work leaving dust in my trail!

[papa_smurf]

slosurfer, can you add two more people to my group.
my son Victor 19 yr and his friend Matt 18, in a geo,traker.


thanks: Gabe

[slosurfer]

Gabe, no problem. I'll add them to the list. :thumbup:

I want to see them jump the tracker. :D

[expatoz]

I've done a ton of these name tags in the past - my opinion, you want something that allows for BIG writing - there's nothing more embarrassing than having to get under someone's nose just to read a name tag. Pictures/logos etc are cool but you really want to make sure the main point is working out - what the hell is your name???

I like the idea of being able to put your screen name on the label. The pin-on variety is good too, so they last more than a day. Sticky labels are a pain when you put on a sweater at night and cover the label.

Man it must take you guys ages to prepare all this stuff for registration.

----------------------------------------

Bob - you not coming! That blows!

Can't wait to be out there.

[Bob98SR5]

Mark,

yeah, i was looking fwd to it but my friends picked the wrong weekend. I was looking fwd to seeing all the OG's :) Well, I'm sure you will have a good time nonetheless!

Bob

[Bob98SR5]

Hey everyone, learn from yours truly:

KEEP YOUR SPEED UNDER THE POSTED LIMIT ON THE BEACH!

They are dead serious about this as I learned last year. And watch out for the lady cop---very nasty attitude. But if you get nailed, you get nailed, regardless of the cop's disposition and/or mental health ;)

I imagine b/c of the moto racing, they will be patrolling big time, so you've been adequately warned

[slosurfer]

Mark, thanks for the tips on the nametags. Right now, it appears that we may be going with the pin on variety unless we can find someone to laminate them for us and then we'll be able to string them up and wear them around your neck. I'm hoping for the laminate.

Bob, thanks for the reminder on the speed limit. :thumbup: I'm still bummed that you can't make it.

[YotaFun]

Speaking of the name tag I just got another idea to make it one of a kind for this event,
How about me putting "PISMO 2008" in white letters in the same font as logo in the red terrain part of the badge?

I can alter it and print new ones tonight at my aunts.

And mark there seems to be enough room to right big and with the sharpies I am sure it won't be hard to miss a name ;)

Like chris said I am hoping to find a way to get them lamented without spending an arm and a leg, staples wasn't to helpful, self lament usually backfires for me and I don't have a machine and the one at work crapped out lol!

[Good Times]

Pismo Tee shirts are being printed today! I won't be able to check out the goods until the day I pick them up right before the event but I did print extra's so if you haven't purchased your tee's please make sure to do so on the UltimateYota store.

If you don't have paypal, just go ahead and order it thru the UY store so I can keep the unpaid invoice as record to reserve your tee. I will be accepting cash (only) at Pismo for those that wish to pay onsite.

If there are more order requests than what I have printed I will print the remaining after the event and ship them to you.

Thanks!

[slosurfer]

Lance, thanks! Did you get 1 made in "Small"?
Thanks for updating the raffle list and adding the pdf file link to the first post. :thumbup:


Avy, that sounds like a good idea, with the white letters, but if you already printed the others that is fine as well.


Cooldry, thanks I got your breadbowl $$$. :thumbup:

[Good Times]

One small tee ordered but has not been paid at the moment. I'll be accepting greenies at the event so it'll all sort itself :)

[net4n6]

But even if we do get a ticket, we can ask you how to get out of it. :thumbup:

perfect! I know who wants that one small one, he was worried since he don't get paid till Friday. I'll tell him to order it then to insure that it is his.

net4n6, you forgot, step on giant scissors. :D

Oh, are you the one that got him off? If so, you'll be the one I talk to. :D

[Bob98SR5]

you really dont want to go through the headache. i only did b/c she was such a C### and that it was such a minor infraction that it was worth fighting

[net4n6]

I pump up from looking at last year pictures posts. Were there any stock 4runner made jump? What's about the damage?

[Seanz0rz]

i blew a shock, non stock but deff not made for jumping...

[cooldry]

Dang it Bob, change your avatar. It keeps making me hungry. :drool:

[expatoz]

I can get name tags laminated free if someone emails me the labels in a program that is MS format.

[slosurfer]

:thumbup: Thanks Mark, I'll see what yotafun has to say on the program he used. I think he is flying out here tomorrow. Hopefully he'll chime in. I also have an idea if that doesn't work.

[YotaFun]

This will be my last post from the east cost for the next 2 weeks (sitting in my seat now)

I used MS publisher, the only problem... I have the file on my desktop not laptop.
If Jenn or sean has a scanner I can get the badges on my laptop.

Well I will be seeing everyone really soon!

Tons of Toyota lovin here in Newark NJ Airport!

SEE YOU IN SOCAL!!!!

[JOSHH]

I am a big maybe at this point. The truck is still in pieces, so we'll see if I can get it done in time. :shake:

[slosurfer]

:lame: Get that thing put back together! What are you doing to it? :wrenchin: Swapping back to a IFS long travel kit? :laugh:

[YotaFun]

Hello from socal!
I am here!
Well I have been here 6 hours or so.
Already took the lc out for a spin, that will be an interesﾞing ride at pismo.. I have already open my mouth and inserted my foot about anything I previously said about it.

It will be a fun trip, after just traveling from the airport I am hooked on socal and I am strongly considering either renting the house next to jenns or finding someone to help with the morgage of the one sorta across the street.

Anyway 9 more days till PISMO!!!!

[slosurfer]

Avy, welcome to CA! Now go home! :laugh: :flipoff:


I was at the dunes some today and we are going to have plenty of room to ride even though some will be blocked off for the race. :thumbup:

[Scooter25]

OK so I've sort of been procrastinating, but I'll also be making it out. If not friday then @$$ crack'O'dawn saturday. What time is anyone leaving San Fernando/Santa Clarita area. Let's caravan.

[mysticzt4r]

Chris I sent you order for Chowder.

Thank you again to all who made this Pismo meet happen again this year. :clap:

Scooter, I added you to the list. :thumbup: I vote for Friday night. :D

Masa, thanks I got it. :thumbup:

[cplvc]

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.

[net4n6]

Vacation requested and approved :clap:. I plan to leave Orange County around noon. My kids will go to school half day on Friday. I should be on site around 4-5 PM. It will be enough time for me to setup camp before dark. Anybody in Orange County want to caravan to Pismo on Friday?

[net4n6]

Is there fresh water at campsite that we can use to clean up or we have to bring our "clean up" fresh water?

[slosurfer]

You will need to bring clean water. No campsites, literally just camping on the beach. :D There are pit toilets close by though. Also, there is a company that drives up and down the beach that offers ice, wood, fresh water, will empty your rv tanks (don't worry fresh water is in a different tank on the truck, lol) for those that run out and don't want to get water in town. I want to say that it is $.50 cents a gallon which isn't bad considering the time it would take to go to town to get 5 gallons of water.

[net4n6]

I remember gas was $.50 a gallon. Can you imagine $4 for a gallon of water?

[YotaFun]

[chrisyota65]
