  1. Hey Ron! We plan to leave Saturday morning - could possibly caravan. Though, that will be dependent on getting kid into car, wife getting coffee, (things outside my control). What time are you thinking of leaving and from where? 

    Looks to be 4hr drive from San Jose. And happy to share one site Sat night & split that site cost - we'll be on a ground tent. we do have a 18mo... but he's good sleeping in a tent. Lmk.

    Hopefully I am not too late for me to join this event/party.  Let me know.

    If work doesn't get in the way,  There's a 50% chance of me making it to this event.  I have a 2004 DII w/2" lift, recovery points both front and back, HD rear bumper, HD steering rod, ham radio, no winch.  Some experience off-roading! :)

    I'll be leaving the Bay Area early morning Saturday (6 hr drive) and then will shoot to join the organized trail run.  What's the est start time for the trail runs (for easy or med rated)?  Anyone leaving the Bay Area Saturday morning and wants to caravan - let me know.  

    Also I have a roof top tent (small foot print) and just need a Saturday night stay, participate in the $$ raffle, and then leave after bfast Sunday or another trail run.  Anyone want to share their spot (one vehicle parking w/roof top tent)?  I'll just pay my share!  

    And I'll be using my jetboil to make coffee for myself Sunday morning (and anyone else who wants one) which I am assuming does not need a permit!

    Cheers!

     

  2. You have the same ARB bumper as mine. So, if/when you do put a winch in... you'll need to get an offset hawse fairlead (unless you go steel cable and rollers). And the winch will mount feet forward. And you'll prob need about 12-13' of cables to run from battery to the winch.

    Once i complete my suspension swap, you're welcomed to look at my setup. 

     

     

    Thanks. It’s the beginning of a long project but the base is good. Just need to reverse some prior owner mods, do some of my own, and enjoy the car. Stay tuned on new postings for the blog.

  3. Congrats! And unlimited PTO catch is... you can't bank your PTO and company doesn't have to keep it on their books. 

    And most people take less vacation days when it's unlimited PTO. 

     

    It's on our calendar, just got a new promotion so have to see how the summer progresses.

    Randomly I have unlimited PTO, but feel there's probably a catch!

  4. Saw this on ExPo....I don't have A&E or FYI network, but in case anyone here does...

    A&E Networks have partnered with Land Rover to produce an hour-long overlanding documentary titled All You Need To Know: Overlanding, which premiers on Sunday, April 18 at 10 p.m. Eastern time.

    As part of this comprehensive content partnership, All You Need To Know: Overlanding delves into the burgeoning trend of overland travel, and features Land Rover’s new Defender in action on the trails of Arizona and Utah. The host of the show, Christian Murphy, joins our very own global travel expert Scott Brady, for a five-day overland trip to learn about this exciting style of travel and see why it’s become so popular in recent years.

    “Overlanding brings a unique joy and nuance to travel, providing access to all of the experiences, culture, and natural beauty between points A and Z,†said Scott Brady, CEO of Overland International, Inc. “Using an overland vehicle like the Defender allows us to get off the beaten path, to venture further into the unknown, and to connect with adventure in entirely different ways. As travelers, we need experiences like that more than ever.â€

    “With more and more people taking four-wheeled adventures, Land Rover and A+E Networks want to shine a spotlight on the world of Overlanding,†said Stuart Schorr, Vice President of Communications, Jaguar Land Rover North America. “Packing up your vehicle with everything you need and getting out to explore our amazing natural surroundings is truly rewarding. This program starring Scott Brady and the new Land Rover Defender should inspire continued growth in this specialized area of adventure.â€

    All You Need To Know: Overlanding premieres in the Outdoor block Sunday, April 18th at 10 p.m. ET on FYI.

     

  5. No need for reservations; it's sorted.  I posted trip routes and itinerary a page or two back along with meeting location map for Lodi.

     

    Glad you're going to make it!  Haven't seen you out in a while what with your future race driver and all. 

     

    Thanks for setting up the reservation. Hopefully my truck starts and all fluid hasn't leaked out. 

    So much to do, so little time. 

  6. I got a hall pass. Yay! 

    I need to catch up on the thread... (or someone can give me cliff notes :))

    I can meet Saturday morning in Lodi also. 

    On the return home, I need to fast trek home by early afternoon.  Otherwise, my wife will turn my truck (maybe she said me; I wasn't really paying attention) into a pumpkin by Sunday morning. 

     

    Do i need to make some sort of reservation somewhere? Or did Don take care of that?

     

    Johann, what to caravan up to Lodi on Saturday? Anyone else want to caravan up?
