hey sry havent been on in a while. almost have a job but now the owners sister wont call me back. GERRRRR! wht ever. im down for a friday. no school that day. gf might come with me though. hope that dosent hinder any ones minds now. haha if it dose then ill leave her at home. and for labor day im down but only if i get this job. i still want to go galmis or somewhere during a weekend. if its possible. more people to watch and do stuff and what not. but if not thats fine too. or even truck haven if you dont want to do a lot of wheeling we can always watch people there. its fun. but if your down for anderson soon let me know. i should look for my cousins front license plate. he lost it there last time he was out. haha long story short. he crashed.

 

[nvycrmn]

im down for anderson next friday. wife and i both have the day off so the kids can stay with the nanny and her and i will come out.

 

[panda24619]

[smo0othride]

Yeah that's a good day for me. So where are we going to meet and what time?

 

[nvycrmn]

just let me know. morning is good cuz it will be cooler and then i can get back in time to pick up the kiddos.

 

[panda24619]

morning good. i got the gfs approval. i think. who knows with these women. shes coming. mornings good with me too. ill just tell my parents its for school. haha that way i can leave early morning. so what time and where? im in point loma so dont wanna back track. how about the frys off of aero drive. good area thats easy to get to and close to the 8.

 

[nvycrmn]

well thats perfect for me cuz its right near where i live! how far away is anderson? i forgot. i think an hour right? do we need a pass or anything to offroad there? wifey might be comin, not sure yet.

 

[smo0othride]

Fry's is on the way so I'm good with meeting there.

 

[nvycrmn]

how bad is this trail going to be? my wife will only go if i can bring 2 of my kids (3 y/o and 20 months)

 

[panda24619]

okay so i got an update on my job status. i got a job. heres the problem. i start friday. at 2. and no passes. like i said previously its a dirt road that turns into an old fire trail that is a truck trail now. and it isnt to bad. its mainly up and down. if it gets to bad we can always trun around and go back. i wont do some stuff so once we get there maybe you should go ahead nvy. and from frys its ruffly 30 mins away. alpine is the city. i picked frys cause its close to you nvy and its about central SD. so with the job im going to have to leave anderson no later then 1230. so i can get home, shower, and head to work. luckly its so close to my house. so i want to make it as early as possible. 730-8 we meet at frys and leave. if thats too early then thats fine. i just have to leave anderson at 1230. or we can post pone it for a later date.

 

[nvycrmn]

im fine with the times. my wife is gonna stay behind. im gonna bring my son, he really wants to go. thats awesome you got a job man. now you can start saving for azusa!!!!

 

[panda24619]

my gf got mad that i still wanted to go so she might stay behind too. women. haha so my friend might come with me. but if something comes up ill post it. and thanks. i know i can save up and get me a 2" spacer and maybe some 35s. idc if the rub. if anything some 34s. dont know yet. whats the biggest i can put in the rear with a 2" lift? front im going to get some fiberglass so i can have it for future use anyways.

 

[nvycrmn]

i would go with a 3" spacer if you can find one. it would be tight but i think some 35's would fit. can always put the spacers in then come over to my house and try my 365/65/16's on 16x10s. if they fit, then you will know what size tire to buy.

we arent going to hit any mountain bikers on this trail ride are we? i dont want one come barreling down the hill and smash into the front of my truck! wont be a good day for him...

 

[panda24619]

3" spacer. i was thinking that. ebay has them both but the 3" is about $20 more. not a big deal. but then ill have that bull dog look. slightly. im cranked to the max in the front and its only 2"s thats why i was going to get the 2" spacer. but okay well see once i get that in and installed.

and no were not. or shouldnt. not to many people up there anyways. and that early probably no one. like i keep saying hardly anyone knows about the trail. its a word of mouth type of place. but im excited but im going to have a disadvantage with guiding my front wheels cause my drivers window dosent roll down. still have yet to fix it. thats like #1 on my list of things to fix. buts its okay i can deal with it. been there at night with bugs so ill be fine. plus got my friend who'll spot me. and if you do hit a mountain biker youll have to winch him up the cliff you knocked him down. haha okay not a cliff but a long drop. youll see when we get there. its nice there.

 

[nvycrmn]

cant wait. should be a good time. so are we just going to fill up here before we leave or are we going to have to get fuel when we get there?

 

[panda24619]

its not that far of a trip. so im not going to fill up. but theres a gas station right after we get off the freeway. but if you need to fill up then theres a few around there. i am going to take a 1 gal spare tank just because but i dought ill need it. google maps says its a 40 minute and 35 mile trip from my house. but thats to anderson road. and the truck trail is i forgot how long exactly but i never finish it. i usually turn around once i get to a big flat area. time is the only issue with me still. so 730-8am still a good time to meet up at frys? cause if we leave by 830 we can get there at 9ish and have about 3 hours to wheel.

 

[smo0othride]

That's still good with me. Congratulations on the job.

 

[nvycrmn]

yeah, that is still good with me. i will fill up that morning at the navy exchange up here by my house. if you guys want to fill up there, gas is a little cheaper and you can use my military ID.

 

[panda24619]

naw my tank is all good. i probley wont have any money anyways. unless my friend has some. o and thanks smooth. o and for the parking lot in frys ill be right down the little drive way off to the left a little. ill find a nice open area. or if your there first ill find you.
