TigerDan Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 When I was a kid living in Tahoe City, we bought a used Series 88" with a plow on it from a friend of my parents who upgraded (err, I mean downgraded) to a new Subaru 4wd station wagon (this was the mid-seventies when the Subies had just hit the market over here). Worked great for clearing the driveway but we took the thing off as our Scottish mechanic told us that Land Rovers had weak frames in the front, you could put anything you wanted on the back but not on the front. (Turned out he was a crook so I never believed a thing he told me after that...!) Found this for you, Don. Looks right at home on there... http://www.landroversonly.com/gallery/images/20395/medium/1_100_0602-2.jpg Nick, here's our version: http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/attachments/f8/27205d1292868095-snow-plow-classic-dsc01407.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 The spray painted logo on the blade totally makes that work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psykokid Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Looks like some weather is coming in Wednesday through Thursday - ..WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGHTHURSDAY AFTERNOON...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN HANFORD HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORMWATCH FOR HEAVY SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNINGTHROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE SOUTHERN SIERRA FROM YOSEMITENATIONAL PARK TO KINGS CANYON.* SNOW LEVELS...STARTING OUT NEAR 7000 FEET WEDNESDAY AND LOWERINGTO AROUND 5000 FEET WEDNESDAY NIGHT.* SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...12 TO 18 INCHES ABOVE 7000 FEET...6 TO 12INCHES AT 5000 FEET.* TIMING...THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY EVENING INTOTHURSDAY MORNING.* LOCATIONS...HUNTINGTON LAKE...TUOLUMNE MEADOWS...SHAVER LAKE.* IMPACTS...SNOW COVERED ROADS...TRAVEL DELAYS AND POSSIBLE ROADCLOSURES...BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WITH LOCAL WHITEOUTCONDITIONS...DANGEROUS WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES OVER THE HIGHERELEVATIONS.* WINDS...SOUTHWEST 25 TO 35 MPH OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WITHGUSTS UP TO 65 MPH ALONG THE SIERRA CREST. The intersection for Rock Creek road at Dinky Creek is right about 6400'. If the forecast holds that means we may have about 12" of fresh snow sitting on top of the old snow that has melted and re-frozen and turned into garbage during the warm spell we've had the last week or so. Should make things interesting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedram Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Powder on ice sucks. Bring tons of recovery gear and water proof gloves for the snow. You might as well pack like your going snow boarding or skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Turns out I will be attending so I can share the site with you. I can send you the money or pay when I get there.

Desertcrawler Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 No Shaver for me this year. Keep an eye out for Jeeps with ratchet straps holding the hood down. If you see any, make sure to say Hello from Tyler and I... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volkov Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey Don, can I meet up with you and the Sacramento crowd leaving Friday morning and caravan down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah-I was just wondering about that. I think Nick and I are going to try to head up fairly early Friday but haven't set a time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerDan Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've decided to bow out this year. Too many projects taking up all my time right now, and I have a long list of things I need to do to the RRC before going on a trip and it's not looking like I'm going to have time to do them. And now I've got a nasty rear hub seal leak that just popped up, so that's pretty much the straw that broke this camel's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerDan Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think I've only missed one Shaver trip...maybe two. Hate to miss his one too, but just added up all I need to do to my Rover and it's about three days worth of work, and I'd need a hub seal which I don't have in stock right now, so I'd have to order one. Too few reasons to go right now, and too many not to. "Not" wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRover Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 For anyone else leaving from the south Bay Area, I'm planning on starting from the Newhall Chevron/Starbucks in San Jose (near the airport) at 7:00AM. I'm heading a little more south than Madera -- I need to pick up my dad in Fresno and should get there near 10:00AM. Once we head out from there, our next waypoint is through Clovis up to Prather... not sure when everyone else is driving by, but I should be near that town around 11:00AM. Otherwise, I'll see you all up at camp around noon. Will bring some firewood to toss in the communal stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psykokid Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 if anyone needs camp space i think its just me in my site. Brad from SCLR is thinking about coming up, if he decides he can brave the cold. He's in Bakersfield so its only a 2.5 hour drive for him. I told him there would more than likely be room for him somewhere in one of the sites.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
