I will be monitoring 146 460. Also don't forget your flag for the dunes . They can be picked up at Arnie's ATV near the beach

Looks like I will be coming up Saturday morning. I’ll try to get you guys on the radio, but hopefully I’ll beat you guys there and will hang out near the beach by the entrance

Almost ready for this trip. Lots of maintenance done just a little more to do. All I have left is a few electrical bugs to work out. I want my ac to work. A full maintenance on this truck seems to be 30 gal of oil. And 2 tubes of grease. I want to do coolant next I am just trying to figure out what the best coolant is as apparently there is cavitation issues that eat the block on this engine.
Back to the trip. Is it alright to arrive at camp later at night?
i was just watching a video about the cavitation problem on some diesel. I had no idea that was a issue.
Doesn't matter to me what time you make it. i'm planing on being at camp around 3 to 4 .Might have a few runs i need to do on friday.
Since it's been awhile... How does one buy an Adventure Pass...? At the local ranger station? I can't find a working on-line link.

I also need to get one they have them at big 5 last i looked.

If its on road i would be tempted to do a 1.4 transferase gears but if she's struggling on the rocks diff gears are the way.
Ashcroft has a ratio calc that helps
https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/calc/ratio_calc.html
Looks like 4.37 would be about the same as it was on 35's and 4.11. I ran 4.11 on 33's so that would be about the same as 37;s on 4.75. Back in the day 4.75 used to be weaker but not sure if thats still true. Maybe ask Ashcroft.

Yes I'm going to post up on SoCal forms about the trip. One of the big issues were going to have is we have to get to the dunes early in the morning on Saturday they seem to sell out by noon.

Hey everyone planning a trip to Oceano Dunes for May 14-16. Due to Covid the State park only has 100 campsites and are already sold out for the next six months on the weekends . So thinking we could camp either at Hi Mt campground or Lake Lopez . Hi Mt is about 40 mins from the dunes while Lopez is 20 . HI MT is in the national forest and is complete dry camping and should be quite while Lopez is a county campground. Let me no what everyone thinks. Now if we go midweek we could camp at the dunes.
Gps to camphttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1WbjLUhC_N-cAKDNXZ4uvuy71m6QX6sxN/view?usp=sharing

As you know i run the Kanati mud hog .More of a desert tire then a full on rock .it has worn well but not as sticky as i would like.. Only thing i would be worried with a sticky tire would be breaking something.Also i run a race tire (sticky) on my bug and only get about 2k miles on them.

Figured out why the 110 lost oil pressure on the way down. The end of the cam broke off! Per Turner Engineering it happens occasionally on 200Tdi’s. Easy fix - just pull entire engine, take it halfway apart, paint the block, have the flywheel machined since I forgot that when replacing the clutch, put in a new windshield and frame, have the roof and sides painted...
