8th Annual 2010 Pismo Jamboree Sept. 24-26, 2010

[Crinale]

Got my pull strap readily available! Just dialed in my trailhead deflators last night 15psi rear tires and 20psi front tires


just a note, thats not NEARLY low enough out on the dunes... i would suggest a MAX of 12psi, and if you plan to use 4wd extensively all 4 tires should be at the same pressure. Personally i run 6psi in the rear and 8psi in the front, but i run almost exclusively in 2wd out there unless i need 4 for something

[ethernectar]

You'll be fine. Driving around on the dunes isn't all that technical. It's just common sense stuff--watch out for other people and don't get too off camber. You can avoid the areas you don't feel confortable with. It's easy. Last year there was a mom and daughter out there for the first time, and they did fine.

Air down your tires and either make sure you have a tow strap, or be with somebody that has one. A shovel would be a good idea too. You will get stuck....it's part of the fun.


Thanks, that helps. I've got a tow strap and recovery kit. Will look forward to it! Also, how low can you airdown without going off the bead?

[Seanz0rz]

well that really depends on your tires, wheels, and the circumstances.

id say out in the sand, keep it above 10 psi for sure. i usually run 12-15 psi in my BFG AT 285/75r16 on 16x8 wheels.

the first two years i was there, i didnt have a spare, so i was more cautious. now that i have one, i might go lower. also depends on the condition of the sand. if it is really loose, like two years ago, then i would go down more.

[93yotasr5]

I guess well see what happens.

[93yotasr5]

im going to adjust the front deflators to 15psi as well. i guess i can always air down more if needed. 15 should be a good starting point.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

15 is always a good place to start, and if you feel like you're just not moving, take it down to 11-12

[Crinale]

Thanks, that helps. I've got a tow strap and recovery kit. Will look forward to it! Also, how low can you airdown without going off the bead?


Sean is right that it depends on your tire and rim setup... but for most your not in danger of losing the bead until <5psi... i run 6rear, 8 front for my runs doin 55-60 mph and iv never lost a bead out there.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Kevin, I'd use caution with making these statements. I've seen beads blow at 20 PSI in pismo.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

So who's ready for some internet on the dunes?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c357/jlboggs/IMG_5756.jpg

During parts of the day and at night, I'll have wireless internet along with a file server. This year, everybody can dump all their pictures/videos on to my server and anybody can hook up to my net work (via wifi or network cable) and get everybody elses pictures.

The photo above shows a full internet and file sharing capable, self-sustained network.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

Very sweet setup you got there! I might have a D50 to take pictures with. other than that. Im gonna use my Iphone, so photo sharing should be easy.

[93yotasr5]

bad ass setup man. cant wait. btw i am running 31x10.5x15 on 15x8 crager soft 8 rims.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

Will the password to the WIFI be available?

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Yes, however I will be blocking youtube due to high data usage.

[Scuba]

Jason. Is. Such. A. Nerd. :flipoff:

[MaK92-4Rnr]

Cool. pretty sure we wont need Youtube out there :D

[93yotasr5]

i dont even want the password if i cant use youtube while on the dunes. hahahah

[ethernectar]

Will there be a way to dump files after the event?

I'm shooting 21MP (Canon 5D MkII) and generally do my edits afterwards.

[ethernectar]

Oh, one more question about camping: should I make a reservation? I have the impression that the group is camping in non-established sites, but that's an assumption...

is that through your phone? whats the gb limit per month?

[some_odd_girl]

I. Am. So. Mad. At. My. Editor!

So here's the deal - I am the photo editor for my school newspaper this year. It has been nothing but headaches with the editor. She's a sweet girl, but a total air head. There have been multiple occasions where she has not communicated something to me properly. Well, because we are officially a club, we are supposed to do a community service project to get our funding form the school. I just found out LAST NIGHT that the project was planned for the 25th! So I told her I couldn't come because I requested time off work for something that's been planned since the summer, and if I CAN'T get the time off work, I can't do the project bc I'll be working. And what did she say? "Is there anyway you can cancel it? ...You committed to this before work." That's the jist of it. I mean, really... *growls*

Ok end rant.

[Seanz0rz]

your reservation for a "site" is one of 999 on the beach. you dont reserve a spot so much as a daily limit of vehicles. hope that makes sense. there are no official camp sites, no running water, and trash at post 2 and bathrooms spread out along the beach.

i looked today and there were 924 sites available. usually i book ahead of time, but paying for the "reservation" fees on top of the daily cost is stupid. im saving the 9 dollars or whatever. i will pay when we get there, since we will be there early friday, shouldnt be a problem.

i'd go with the falcon punch in a situation like this. hope it works out.

[some_odd_girl]

Falcon punch huh? Not sure I know that one... BUT! I got Sat and Sun off work, so I get to come! Yay! Kind of sucks I don't have Friday off, I'm hoping I could maybe switch a shift so I could leave here a little earlier... otherwise, I won't be to Pismo 'til around 12:30am.... Ah well, at least I get to be there! :D

Also, I'm not that worried about my .120-.188 wall armor rusting out.

[Seanz0rz]

[Scuba]

I was hanging out with my neighbors last night gettin my drink on.. I noticed the HUGE pile O' wood he had.. asked if I could buy a bundle worth and he told me take 10-15 pieces.. FREE :D
I still have a couple other bundles from I think spring break in march :yikes:
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/Truck/Pismo%20Jamboree%202010/DSCN0529.jpg
If your coming to the Jambo, please bring as much firewood as possible :camping:


I got all of my camping gear together.. packed my toolbox full of all my junk and basically just threw everything near the front of the garage so all I have to do is load it up.. I cleaned both of my cooler while I was at it..
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/Truck/Pismo%20Jamboree%202010/DSCN0528.jpg

And heres a picture of my junk all shiny :D
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a168/Sycosurfer150/Truck/DSCN0524-1.jpg

Only 4 more days until the Jambo!

[troyboy162]

ah my CV's is there room for them? i know ill see you soon even after the jambo. sorry youve had to handle them so long. i ushualy see you bi-weekly...figures its been a month since i turned you into a CV currier.

[Scuba]

There should be room in the bed for them no issues.
And don't sweat it man. I know you'd do the same for me if I asked :D

[Good Times]

I'll be bringing up a trailer full of wood. Got my m416 filled to the top with wood so we should be good for a nice big fire pit for Saturday! :)

Picking up the tees (event tee and UY tee/hoodies), stickers and the safety whip flags on Wednesday before my drive up to Pismo. Got lots to prep on Thursday but we should be ready on Friday to get everyone situated. Chris and I will be onsite on Thursday to mark the camp sites for everyone along with the event booth / vendor booths area that'll help block the wind from the sea. We'll post up exact camp locations once we secure our site on Thursday. Worst case just look for the UY / Pismo banners that'll be displayed on the RV's that we'll have.

:)

[Crinale]

ive got some wood, and if we need more its only a couple miles to my source for more wood from the entrance... just in case ;)

@Sean - why the heck would you pay to have someone go through and thoroughly detail your truck BEFORE the jambo?? id have done it next week so they could vacuum all the sand out :chair:

[Scuba]

id have done it next week so they could vacuum all the sand out :chair:


Damnit. You just reminded me of the one and only reason I hate going to the jambo

[troyboy162]

i like sand in the rig... it has to displace dust and gravel if it wants to find a spot so its a welcome change

[Crinale]

haha nice troy... my truck is the opposite :P

[BrandonH]

Couple days of work then Ralph and I will be taking off Thursday at 6PM from his shop. We rented a toy hauler for the weekend, so I will be flat towing the Truggy with my Tacoma. GOnna do a test tow tonight to see how it does. We should be rolling in around 9:30-10:00 PM Thursday night.


Lance, When are you getting up there? you going to be monitoring 2M? What frequency? I might hit you up when we come rolling onto the sand with the Toy Hauler. Last year Ralph had his old 2wd Tundra towing a huge trailer with the truggy and a bunch of crap on it. Ended up getting stuck almost in the surf line. Had to do a hard winch pull with my truck to get him out. Shouldnt be a problem with his 5.7 Tundra 4x4 crewmax this time!

[93yotasr5]

I hate the instant salt corrosion and pulling sand out of your ass and trucks ass for weeks

[MaK92-4Rnr]

I dont think i'll have any room to carry wood. I can probably chop/cut up some pallets. I can probably have my brother carry down 5-6 in the back of his truck.

Bonfire, anyone? :D
:camping:

[Seanz0rz]

@Sean - why the heck would you pay to have someone go through and thoroughly detail your truck BEFORE the jambo?? id have done it next week so they could vacuum all the sand out :chair:


because my truck was so disgusting, I didnt want to sit in it anymore! it had been 6 months since it was washed, a year since it was waxed, and 3 years since the interior was anything more than wiped down.

Just make sure you break them up and don't bring any pieces with nails or staples still in them. :thumbup:

X2 what chris said.. Please make sure there are no nails in whatever you bring..

[MaK92-4Rnr]

thats a negative on the pallets then... they're riddled with nails :P heh

[Seanz0rz]

thats a negative on the pallets then... they're riddled with nails :P heh


few minutes with a recip saw and a wrecker bar, and you can have nice, clean pallet wood. thought about doing that this year but i think i have enough fire wood between leftovers from bb and the tree we cut down in june.

im sure we will be selfish and have our own fire again this year. i get to care for 6 people this year!

[MaK92-4Rnr]

Why not have a huge blazin' fire for everybody in camp...! i'm down :) haha kidding.

[Scuba]

Why not have a huge blazin' fire for everybody in camp...! i'm down :) haha kidding.


Theres normally 1 huge fire and a bunch of smaller group fires..

Last year I think I counted 4 small group fires..

[Seanz0rz]

Why not have a huge blazin' fire for everybody in camp...! i'm down :) haha kidding.


sorry, i really dont like you, thats why we have our own fire...





nah im just kidding man! we love all of you. for the soon to be wife and i, camping is all about sitting quietly around the fire. we like to cook on it too, something that is hard to do in a fire that 100 people are enjoying.

[MaK92-4Rnr]

I like to kick it with everybody around a big fire. we'll probably have a small one around our little group campsite though.

[some_odd_girl]

FIRE!! I am looking forward to :camping:. I am highly likely to :prod: just to be annoying. Hopefully someone brings a :guitar: so I can :chill: while listening to music and :popcorn:.
:clap: :thumbup: :)

[L33T35T Tacoma]

I'm bringing popcorn like last time! I'll just have to take the paper off the top this time, lol. And I'll bring marshmellows

[MaK92-4Rnr]

I always bring smores stuff.

[some_odd_girl]

I'm bringing popcorn like last time! I'll just have to take the paper off the top this time, lol. And I'll bring marshmellows
OMG I forgot about that! Hahahaha...

[ethernectar]

Looking forward to getting out of town, away from the office, and meeting some new folks! Will be getting there early afternoon friday.

[L33T35T Tacoma]

Oh, and I have plenty of wood to go around!

(that's what she said!)

[iceman601]

Sweet! :thumbup:...Looks like I'm going to make it this year. I got my flag ready for last years event but couldn't make it back in time. See you guys there.

[Scuba]

Looking forward to getting out of town, away from the office, and meeting some new folks! Will be getting there early afternoon friday.


I hear ya on the getting out of town and away from the office thing.
I haven't been out wheelin in like a month and a half.........



:hillbill:

[Crinale]

really steve?? thats not like u at all.

well only a couple more days!

[Scuba]

really steve?? thats not like u at all.

well only a couple more days!


Straight up. Last time I went was.. august 14th..
Ok I haven't been out in a month.. but it feels like AGES!

[some_odd_girl]

I haven't been out since Big Bear! And my chance to drive got taken from me when the trail was closed....

[Scuba]

Was just digging through my backpack for a pencil and eraser for some math homework.. What do ya know.. The pencil I found is covered in sand.. From pismo.. From LAST YEAR!

[93yotasr5]

still picking the sand out of your ass?
i will be for at least a year

[Seanz0rz]

still picking the sand out of your ass?
i will be for at least a year



not me, i showered when i got home last year. and at least every day since, most twice.

[Good Times]

I just picked up the 8' safety whips and the custom UY flags! I forgot to add the custom flags on the store but we'll have em for ya guys to buy at the event :) Looks sexy if you ask me! woo hoo!

Going to pick up the tees tomorrow on the way up to Pismo so I'll see you guys Friday!

[malteserunner]

Cool, Lance. We can get the flags separate from the whips, right? Do you think we should pre-order, or will there be plenty to go around at the event?

3 more days!! Woohoo!

[Scuba]

Fudge. Lance, Can you add a flag to the order of stickers I just made..?

[Good Times]

yup you can get the UY flags separate from the 8' safety flags. They're two different products since not everyone might not want the second flag on their safety whip so if you want to add the second flag just come by the booth. I bought 100 of each so I think we should have plenty to go around!


Stephen, sure no problem!

[Scuba]

Thanks Lance. See you Friday afternoon. Can't friggin wait!

[wildhorse1966]

i worked late last night installing the gas powered air compressor in the bed of truggy (its not finished but it is mounted and useable for now)so i will be bringing the Tundra and Brandon will be flat towing the truggy for me.. i pick up the toy hauler tonight so everything is looking good for a tomorrow night arrival

[Scuba]

Awesome Ralph! Hope you and Brandon both have a safe trip there whilst towing!

[MaK92-4Rnr]

I'm about to beat my truck, literally... 3 of the head bolts decided to back out from my headers last night. burned up the gaskets and caused a leak. not a hard fix, but why is this all happening right before pismo...?

here's how my skid plate turned out by the way... little bling bling under the truck, yeah?

http://www.yotatech.com/f123/budbuilt-skid-plate-220667/

[Seanz0rz]
