I remember hearing abound “bundles” and “cords”, but I keep asking for them at Safeway and they say they never heard of those. I think they are just urban legends🤔 Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May add some more luxury once I load the truck. Still need a trip to the grocery store to round up the last of food. The L322 gets an alignment tomorrow morning and hoping to find time to make a mount for the dune flag to attach to the rack. Need to get some fluids, which may lead me to buy a bucket of kitty litter so I can use the square bucket for said fluids. And I could use some for the garage and some extra for the spill kit. I won’t have spares, I may bring the takeoff control arms - haven’t collected many spares for this truck. I will have a repair wire harness Adaptive Suspension connection but I might be brave and try to replace both sides tomorrow if I have time after groceries and a REI wagbag run. Tool kit, compressor, recovery gear, pruning saw, hatchet, fuses, MOST bypass, flat kit. Friday, I’ll use the forklift to get the tire on the roof rack and secured. Stage to the beer to pickup Saturday- I’ll do my best to keep it cold to those that ordered. Sorry that @PaulD cannot make it, and I’ll miss the bar and shower setup, so dig out the solar shower from burning man (think it will strap inside the spare nicely) and I’ll have to get a bottle of bourbon, whisky or scotch… other than that, I’m completely ready. Can’t imagine that you’d need spare control arms for an L322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mffoster Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I have a couple of small boxes of firewood to toss up on the roof. Of course, every time I bring wood it seems like we end up each night in an abandoned logging camp. Some of my boxes of wood went on 5 trips before being used!

I might have missed the answer in all the posting, but I’m getting close to the shopping and it would be good to know if I should get a box. I have not yet had a chance to check the latest fire restrictions (if any - I expect we are in the clear), but we should plan on bringing boxed wood or picking up locally. I recommend we purchase wood at a gas station in Mt. Vernon - less weight to haul and wood sourced locally (we aren't bringing potentially diseased wood across 100s of miles to a new forest) PaulD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn local wood is the best way to go about it. We didn’t have any fire restrictions. At Paisley there was one but then we were out of that jurisdiction.

drafdog Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I'm going to bring an extra flag in case anyone forgets or loses one. As for the dunes requirements, it states we need an out of state permit.. "A State of Oregon off-highway vehicle sticker is required to operate on all lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon. Stickers may be purchased at All Terrain Vehicle dealerships or by calling 1 (800) 551-6949". Has anyone gotten a sticker yet? As well as are we going to stop by a dealership to get them?
