Does this mean you won't be making the annual trinity lake trip anymore? 

I will attempt to the Nth degree to continue my annual Trinity Trips.

Only reason I'd probably make a trip to bakersfield would be the road course, willow springs is it?

hey JROCK, How long until you get down this way? I'm gonna meet up with SuperYota on tuesday and go to their open shop night and check it out, So ill let ya know how that goes.. 

[jrock]

I'm not sure yet but I'll guess about a month.

[Gixxer Jon]

Alright man, Sounds good  

Its awesome that we will actually have some toyotas to meet up with when going wheeling. So if you come out thats 4.   and there is another guy on here and if we get him out thats 5 yota's  

I also have some friends in a surrounding town that are trying to convert to yota's, So hopefully that will work out too..

[jrock]

haha, that sounds gravy

I was looking at your thread, How did you manage to put this nice size dent in the rim..

[Talon84x4]

You've got Calico out the 58 east, our club is heading there beginning of April if you'll be around by then.

I was looking at your thread, How did you manage to put this nice size dent in the rim..

At Hollister Hills there is a trail called V-trail, for obvious reasons. I slid off one wall and ended on my driverside. My driver tires were pressed against the dirt with the weight of the whole vehicle and while attempting to get out I popped both beads, front and rear. A little while later while getting winched out by another vehicle I needed to "drive" out of the V I was stuck in. My rim found a rock and without a tire to cushion the rim, it bent.

I am no longer a fan of 10" wide rims. On a 12.5" wide tire, they just stick out too far.

hey superyota, do you know much about this group?   http://www.bakersfieldtrailblazers.org/ 

[jrock]

They look to be pretty active. Their doing Bald Mt on Feb 20th.

[Gixxer Jon]

From their pics, it looks like they are filled with jeeps... 

[jrock]

I noticed. Is Bakersfield a Jeep only area?

[Gixxer Jon]

It must be, Thats why us Yota's need to take over Bakersfield  ,

[bigarms23]

whats the rent range in bakersfield?

[jrock]

Rooms 300-500, apartments 400-700

[bigarms23]

thats not bad i might have to look into it im currantly paying 1300

[Gixxer Jon]

Rooms 300-500, apartments 400-700

FYI the apartments for 400 bucks are POS thats if you want your car jacked, In my last apartment i was paying 1025 a month for a 2 bed 2 bath 2 car garage. but you can find 2 bedroom apartments for about 600-1000. and i think a 1 bedroom for 450-900 depends on which side of town your looking at..

FYI dont move into the east side..  rosedale or south west bakersfield i would prefer..

definitly stay out of the east side, north and south.

anywhere west of the 99 is a good bet

[jrock]

Awesome. Ive been looking in SW West of 99. It's closer to work.

[superyota]

hey superyota, do you know much about this group?   http://www.bakersfieldtrailblazers.org/ 

yea, i've heard of them and know a few guys from the club.  its all jeeps.  two of the guys from trailblazers just joined HRE last week.  i havn't really heard much about them or seen them do any events or anything. 

[superyota]

i live in the south west.  east side isn't bad if you go really far north east, like off morning drive or mesa marin area.  its all nice area back there. 

[Gixxer Jon]

yea those apartments out there are really cheap because they are right before the mouth of the canyon.. So for him working in the south west.. that would be a long drive everyday...

[Gixxer Jon]

Thats cool, so did you have a sworn in ceremony for them? LOL   I remember you telling me that HRE started off as a auto shop program.. so is it still filled with younger people from the high school or is there a variety of ages to older people in the club today

lol!  no, we should have a sworn in ceremony though, like you have to have a toyota . just kidding .  no, we dont have any highschool kids. not that they aren't welcome, we just don't have any. the average age for the group i would say is 30.  its a great group.  

[Gixxer Jon]

FYI, For the Bako peeps, Im just putting the word out that "Pick Your Part" is having another 50% off weekend March 12th-14th.

Im going friday to pick up my 63's for 38.00 

http://www.pickyourpart.com/

The Bakersfield location has 1 86' 4Runner auto 4wd, from seeing it two days ago, the only parts left that are worth anything is: Fiberglass top, tailgate (no glass) I bought the glass already, stock rear leafs, Rear axle. i think stock rims are laying there too.

they do have a crap load of 81-86 2wd & 4wd single cabs that have been picked through with a fine comb,

[superyota]

you guys coming tomorrow night for shop night?
