mirowsky Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I am a new member with a stock 2013 LR4. This will be my first club outing, and first time at Hollister. I am from Florida, staying in San Francisco for now. I have done some training and a 2-day Mojave run with Badlands Adventures in southern Ca, but rocks are still alien to me. I look forward to meeting folks and seeing the trucks in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirowsky Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Where do we gather at Hollister? Which entrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinw.rrc Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Hi there! I have a stock 2012 LR4 and have taken it off road at both Hollister and Frank Raines and it is amazing. Hoping to add some additional off road kits to it soon, but for now, I just play as it is. January we will also being having a recovery class. Brenton, our club president lives in SF, perhaps you can get in touch with him and caravan down. His forum name is Disco2Guy. We look forward to meet you. If you end up coming down by yourself, we meet at the ranger station at 10:00. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlysonH Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Welcome Mirowsky! Are you a ham radio operator? That's how we communicate on the trail. If you're not it might be a good idea to pick up a handheld so you can at least monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Welcome Mirowsky! You will be fine.... I have a 2013 LR4 as well.... There are now a few LR4s in the club. Looking forward to meeting you. Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Will any of the peninsula people be caravaning down together? Pedram - are you going? I know the only thing that will keep me from going is if Pedram wants to do my swing away that day, but hoping he will want to do it on the 31, 1, or 2 -David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 There are now a few LR4s in the club. A few? I think you folks are secretly trying to convert this to the LR3/LR4 club... in the past 6 mo. we've had at least 6 or 7 LR3s and LR4s (and 1 Disco 4) join NCLR. Not that there's anything wrong with that... ::amuse:: -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirowsky Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Thanks for the time and place info. It is good to know there is another stock LR4 driver I can learn from. They are amazing. I did a 2-day trip across the Mojave with Tom Severin's Badlands Adventures: crawled rocks, ran sand dunes, forded the Mojave river. I had no trouble staying with the built-up Wranglers, Land Cruisers and pickups--all in comfort and style. I am not afraid of sand, but rocks still make me nervous.

Guest Pedram Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 ....... Pedram - are you going? I know the only thing that will keep me from going is if Pedram wants to do my swing away that day, but hoping he will want to do it on the 31, 1, or 2 -David Sorry that was the day..... You can't go David...... I need your truck here so I can go to MORG in it instead. Welcome John, this is how we treat our members. Lol. Show us your truck buddy.... We need before and after pictures. And you couldn't of picked a better place to stay. This in my opinion is the best state ever. So many places to visit and so much history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this work? John Hey John; GMRS radios run on a series of channels that are not within the allocated frequency ranges for Ham Radio (I think it's somewhere just beyond the amateur 70cm band). It's possible that your radios will let you tune to listen to our chatter if we were on a 70cm frequency, but probably unlikely. Bring it down to Hollister and we'll take a look! Our standard NCLR calling frequency is 146.460 MHz simplex. -Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
