That's right folks, we have at least 3 committed for a run up at Rowher Flats on Feb. 14th. Directions are as follows. Coming from the San Fernando Valley go I-5 North to the 14 North. Get off at Sand Canyon exit and go left. Take Sand Canyon till it dead ends at Sierra hwy and turn Right. Go approximately 3.5-3.8 miles. You will see the signs for Rowher Flats/Angeles Forrest then turn Left. Immediately on your right hand side will be a flat dirt area that we can meet at. We will meet at 8:30 AM. Hope to see more there (Locopony, Raf) or anyone else who wants to use what you have and brag about.

Noone there as far as I know. I know there's noone in Drinkwater, and it's part of the same place.

so i could tow my expired tag bronco there.. park the tow rig and trailer.. drive the expired tag bronco offroad and nobody would check? Ive never been there and thats why i ask.. At hungry valley they check when you go in.. I cant afford to get it smogged, insured and registered in 2 weeks.. ill be luck if i have it running right by then. any information is appreciated.. thanks..

Turd, I can't say there's no chance of someone checking, but as far as I know and have seen, there are no officials there. I'm asking my boy who's been there, and I'll let you know what he says.

Are you guys gonna hit some newbie friendly trails? I got rid of the broken bronco, and got a running one. I'm itching to take it out, but want to make sure the major components are up to par, i'd really hate to have something crap out on me on my first time out.

Bronkzilla

Count me out of this one. With the luck im having there is no way my truck will be ready . I tried. I failed.. maybe next time.. But most likely not.. I have one of those broncos that people hear about but is never really seen..

had yet another tire problem last night..... whats new right?


I got a FULL week but I think it will happen. need to make sure the bills are paid before I play.

Awesome. Turdzilla has risen again. Sorry Raf about your probs. Some day you're going to have the badest Bronco around. Yes as far as newbite friendly their are plenty of easy to moderate trails. I've even taken up a stock Jeep, way back in the old days and got it up some of the so called harder trails. Always fun for everyone. Bring out the newbie and get it broken, oops, broke in is what I meant to say. I think we should all pitch in and get some fix a flat for locopony. It may save us 2-3 hours of tire changing delays. hahaha, JK. Can't wait. Especially if we can get some rain the week before. Bald tires are great, I've got two of those in the rear.

Turd may not run, but I see sick flex in that avatar...

Beoken - that pic of Rowher I posted in the "wussie" thread is a stock Lib on 30 or 31's, and I think he goes most everywhere. There should be plenty for you to have fun on.

it only took a long time cause I lost the wheel lock key. (no longer on there anymore) I'm pretty fast at changing those flats out now. practice makes perfect.

some one bring quick air and we will be fine.. :thumbup :wacko

im getting too stressed out trying to get this thing done. now with the limo acting up its making my eye twitch.

Dustin (Dusty,Dustball, MrLaserBoy)Siebert invited me to go to Minnesota and be a passenger in his bronco for a snow trip this weekend.. So im flying up, freezing my ass and flying back.. Should be fun ;)

MudMad
02-03-2004, 05:33 PM
Hey Raf, have a safe trip out to Minn. I'm sure you'll have plenty of pics, hint hint. Hey you could always come out to Rowher w/someone. I may be riding alone. Still not sure yet, but my passenger seat if available to you if you want. That's of course if my wiffy decides not to go. If you're interested let me know.

Don't know if I am going to be able to make the trip after all. Granps had a heart attack and I may have to go pick up mumsy down in Oceanside. Not sure which day. But, besides the fact that I wanna see how my Granps is doing. It may be an all weekend thing. Sorry bout this all Mudmad. I and the better half were looking forward to the trip. :cry

02-06-2004, 05:33 PM
No problem, I understand about family stuff like that. I hope your gramps is OK. Let me know as soon as you can so I can make other arrangements if no one else is going to go. I have a 4 day weekend so I can surely find something else to do.

This is F*%*&^(*$^#@KING unbelievable........

filling up at the gas station this morning and what do I see.........a friggen nail in yet another tire. for those of you counting thats 3 in 8 days. (4 if you count the one on my G/F's car)... still not as bad as 3 in 15 minutes but still aggravating.

I can wait until 9am. That gives me more time to sit at home and twittle my, you know, thumbs. Hey, anyone who is bringing me fire wood is worth waiting an extra 1/2 hour for. I would love to go on the 16th, but I'm leaving Sat. night to head out to AZ. to pick up some tools out of storage from my Mom's place. I will be in Mesa AZ until Mon. Have to visit my mom for at least a day. That's if nothing breaks Sat. morning. Hey, those look like some cool hill climbs. Can't wait. See you all their.

MudMad
02-11-2004, 12:45 PM
OK, I talked to locopony last night and he is coming. That's enough for me. Burntpiston or B-Man, how about you guys? I know it's only 3 days away so I wanted to know who to wait for. I don't want to sit their as the train leaves at 9-9:15. If you're going PM locopony and see if you can swap cell #'s or something in case you're running late or break down and need help or whatever. See you their.

only trail casualty was my OBA air tank, it fell off the truck when the brackets broke. :wacko

Impressed with everyone's rigs and willingness to try new stuff.
We gotta do this again.

Hey, ya'll, had a great time and it was nice to meet new faces. Hey B-man, take your foot off the break, hehehe. Burntpiston, that hill's not that bad, you can make it, and of course he did. You impressed me with your willingness to try new things, Owww, baby. Loco, it is always nice to wheel w/you. Although at last count, you owe 28K for those trees you took out at 1K ea. wow, expensive trip. Think of all of the new tires you could get for that, hahaha. Can't wait till next trip.

burntPiston
02-18-2004, 01:59 PM
Yeah, having limited time in 4WD, I like to see another Bronco try something before I try. The more you go, the more comfortable you get, and the more you can play. I will take the harder lines next time, and try to take a whole day, instead of half.

By the way, I just got gas yesterday :toothless
Didn't burn as much as I thought I would on the hill. Made it all the way home and to the office and back. :shrug

It was 1. and it was already burnt up. Maybe worth $250 at best... :wacko :slap

Newer tires woulda helped that day. wheeling with baldies on the loose shtuff isn't as much fun as I like.
