its almost time again. just a few months left. hopefully some of you guys can make it back out again this year for memorial day. probably go the same as we did last year, start at loon friday and come out tahoe side sunday morning. hope to see you guys out there again.

it wasn't bad at all going thorugh and out tahoe side last year. i think as long as conditions are about the same as they were last year we'll do the same again.

the weather was defently crappy...hopefully its good this year. i believe we have a pretty good size group coming this year so far it looks like 8-9 rigs...

superyota · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2009, 11:12:00 PM »

just got back to bakersfield with my truck on trailer, going to fix everything it needs this next week. after seeing steve's pics from this last weekend, i think i'm going to pull out my ecu and put it in plastick bag so if it goes under i'll be ok, i guess i'll have a little more to do now that i have to take water into consideration.

that was a few weeks ago if i remeber right. steve just went this last weekend, you can see some pics on his post that are more recent than the ones on pirate.

ROCKO · « **Reply #27 on:** May 11, 2009, 02:19:26 PM »

^^^^^ I've been watching that since they starting posting.

superyota · « **Reply #28 on:** May 11, 2009, 02:29:44 PM »

well, here is my list of need to do things before the trip:
-change inner axle seals
-build back bumper so i don't tear the bed off
-chain down motor mounts
-bag up the ecu
-.... i think thats it.
