Wish I could come, but I'm afraid I used up my quota of being away from home for the Spring 😞
I will know for sure in a day or so.
-
I will definitely go as long as the dates work out. My Spring break is the last week of March.

Great to see everyone, meet some more members today and to move some t-shirts.
Sounds like a Baja trip is in the making…
Sorry for the warm beer @SDS, I’ll have some cold ones for you next time.
cheers

Thank you Paul. You have a very nice tap room!
Looking forward to the next time!

Welp, since I am scheduling myself to "work" the Taproom on a weekend, I might as well have some fun!
East Brother Beer Co is having a vendor day. We will have about 6 vendors (arts n crafts n such) setup, as well as 2 food trucks - Cambodian Food and a Smashburger... Obviously, there will be beer available, and I will have a special club discount on beers for the day.
Tap List - subject to change
- The Core Beers: Bo Pils, Red Lager, Blonde Ale, Gold IPA, Red IPA, Oatmeal Stout
- Seasonal Specialities: Belgian Tripel, Maibock
- Taproom Only: German Pilsner, English Pale Ale, something in the beer engine (cask ale)
Time: Let's shoot for lunch, noon - 4p.
Other: The club has some new t-shirts and the two boxes have been sitting in front of my desk for a few weeks. Rumor has it that all current members will be getting a new shirt, but I will let the Board confirm that!
I'll hit up some of the regulars with Rovers to attend. I am also toying with the idea of a Parking Lot Party for us for the day if there are enough committed interest. We have a somewhat hidden area that we could park the rigs and admire with beers in hand. the downsides are: food trucks and vendors will be a walk, and I may need to limit the tap list (considering setting up the Tap Wagon or can pours in the "secret" area. Otherwise, I can reserve a few tables/area for us.
The secret area also has a forklift ramp, that we possibly could do some flexin' for the grams. Or just rollout the forklift...
Where: 1001 Canal Blvd, Richmond, CA 94804
- if we post up in the Taproom Unit C-2
- if we circle the wagons, Unit B
Cheers,
Paul
Bumping this up in the activity stream. It is happening day after tomorrow. There will be great beer and t-shirts. T-shirts are free for NCLR club members!

OMG... I thought the hammer on the starter trick was reserved only for Series trucks!. Wonder it Sasha's starter winding is/was frozen from excess moisture in there...?
--Paul
Not sure. Hasn’t done it since.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the trip. Was looking forward to it, but life intervened...
It's a bummer. There should be some new snow on Saturday.

Spotted a rear combo of LR3+Airedale terrier in Scotts Valley. And here I though I had at least the local market cornered 🧐

Still looking forward to Bowman this next weekend. Weather looks reasonable, who else is up for the trip?
I’d like to go. Will know for sure in a couple of days. Will post then.

Looks nice! What paint/primer do you use for the panels?

Wish I could come!

I'm wondering if it would be worth the time to create a short video on how to deal with different air suspension faults and a blown airbag? I would love to help make it happen if I can get someone who's more knowledgeable on air suspension.
Im not sure about a video, but a cheat card might be a good idea. I’ll work on one.

We changed our reservation at Sun Outdoors Campground in Moab - now 5 nights, arriving April 5th and checking out April 9th. The campground has a few tent sites and at least one cabin still available for these dates. They are running a spring special, 33% off if you stay at least 3 nights. If interested in booking, call them directly (435)259-6848 and speak to Shannon.
I just called the number, talked to Shannon, and she was kind enough to apply the discount to the reservation I made a few days ago. A full tank of gas worth of savings!
Thank you Mike.

Great point! We just booked those dates to get something on the books. If we finalize the days everyone can make the trip we’ll add to our reservation.
Sounds good. I booked 4th to 9th.

Texas is probably out for us, but Leigh Anne and I have booked a cabin at Sun Outdoors Campground in Moab (used to be the Canyonlands campground) for 3 nights, April 5 through 8th. Just wanted to get something on our calendar, we’ve stayed at that campground before and it’s very convenient to town and trails. It would be great if everyone going is able to stay in the same place or nearby.
I am confused about the dates. If we want to spend full four days (5,6,7,8) in Moab, we need to get there on the 4th and leave on the 9th. That means that any campground reservations should be for 5 nights (arriving on the 4th; leaving on the 9th). What am I missing?

Please double confirm if you still plan on attending so that we can decide if we need to push back the MORG due to weather.
Hello Folks a few important updates and need for discussion.
1. Snowflake is going to be taken down for maintenance this weekend, so Mike will be leading this trip. (While Snowflake could make the trip, I should probably quit driving it until I have brake, taillights, and indicators restored....)
2. There is a significant storm likely to drop a bunch of snow over Bowman this week/weekend. Forecast for nearby Soda Springs (similar elevation) is posted below.
This storm should lead to an incredible stuck fest, if you can make it up there. 😂. However, if the contingent of folks attending dwindles we will reschedule for later in the month.
Please double confirm if you still plan on attending so that we can decide if we need to push back the MORG due to weather.I am still not 100% for this weekend. CV is still out and I need to figure out what I’m going to do with the winch. If I do sort these things out, I'm willing to try out the snow storm...
I can do next weekend, but not the 23/24.
Let’s see what others say.

I’ve taken a little break from the restomod while I travel for work. I’ve been lucky enough to work on a project in my home town of Melbourne, Australia.
While here, I visited Les Richmond Automotive (@lesrichmondautomotive on IG). The business owner, Andrew, showed me around a few of their current projects. They specialise in LS conversions to Land Rovers, from old classics, Defenders and Disco 1 and 2s. They also do interior and exterior work in house. The quality of their work is inspiring.
So shiny! These look awesome!

I would like to come, but I'm not 100% sure. Noticed that one of the D2 CV boots has a bit of a rip and needs replacing. There are a couple of other things to do on the car too. If I manage to make all of this done, I'm in.
-
I will drive in on Sunday morning. Will have an available seat in the car, so can take a passenger on the trail.
See you all early Sunday. Can’t wait to get stuck in the snow!

Is it this one:

I am a very cautious yes for Moab.
Want to go: YES; will be able to: aghh?Unfortunately, can’t make it to Texas: too long of a trip. I’ll watch the thread as the planning develops.
