L.R.S.

There was a 10' wide 4' deep hole just like that between Pad 4 and Roadrnner on the dune side real close to Gecko Rd.  My son sent me a video of it while he was on his moring walk.

About three seasons ago we switched to using a fire barrel in camp.  Basically its 2/3 of a fuel drum with no top or bottom and holes cut into the side.  Very simple.  The barrel keeps the ash and embers from blowing all over and helps to direct the smoke up a little higher so more people can sit around it.  Admittedly a fire barrel can't accomidate as many people as an open pit fire but we have more than one to use. 

Kiddie tracks are a real thing as well.  There were a bunch of them on the dune side of Gecko Rd near Pad 3, Pad 4 and at Roadrunner.  My son was puling into camp a few week ago and noticed a Funco laying on it's side near Pad 3.  He jumped out to help and it turned out to be a guy that camps near us at Roadrunner.  He hit a kiddie track and fliped the Funco.  Vince was ok but the car is effed up and not driveable.  We went back to get it several days later and deliverd it to Funco.

Parkit 360 rated for 10,000lbs.  Bought to move trailers around in storage but haven't used it.  It's brand new, tits still on the tires.  Battery is also brand new.  Has a built in charger (120v) and voltage display.  Also a manual disconnect to put it into neutral for moving around unloaded.  It has a 7 pin connection so the trailer can plug into the dolly and the battery will give it power to raise/lower the tongue jack.

$1200 obo.  Delivery to San Diego, OC, IE or Phoenix can be arranged.

That is a package deal ready to go! If dezertrangers .com was still around, this would sell in 1 day! 

Thanks. Going to list it on RDC too but always gd.com first.

Built this years ago when I was doing a lot of fab work.  Been sitting for the past 4 years.  It's on a rolling cart with a small vise.  I planned to make this into a fab table with a chop saw, tube notcher, etc.  Not separating the dies from the bender.

Sending my son to PHX this Thursday but he comes back to LA. That could change to SD or Temecula then LA. 

I'll take them Clay. I'll text you. 

Hopefully Tyson plays with him a while and hurts him badly. 

Thanks for the link. Been watching at work all day. Coverage gets better every year.

If it's leaded race fuel, most are, it will contaminate your cat and could eventually plug it up. 

Leaded fuel will also ruin O2 sensors.

Harbor Freight makes some decent stuff. I have a 3" cut off wheel that's their old Chicago brand. Probably 25 years old. Use it weekly. We used to joke that you can buy HF tools, just don't loan them out.

I now have a bunch of their Hercules cordless tools and have been really happy with them all. The 20v batteries are nice too. They're sending me the new line of LED lights to test soon.

He is driving for commerce.  Rules are WAY different.  But, carry on....

I don't come to where you work and slap the c0cks out of your mouth.  Don't tell me how to do my job.

How does your son legally operate for you without at least having a B?  Driving in combo for commerce has way lower weight limits than private use.

Under 26,001 lbs is Class C.  He is in the process of getting his CDL, but CA changed it and now he needs 40 hours of class room instruction and so many hours of behind the wheel.  And that costs around $5000.  Cost me zero in 1995.

I have 2 employees and both share the same last name with me, so I'm biased AF. You've met them.

My son hit me up late last year saying he's been at the same pay rate for the past two years. Cool story bro. What are you doing now that's different from two years ago? Do you have your CDL? Any certificates or new licenses? He had no answer. Earn it fugger. Advance your career through education/schooling or some kind of certificate. Seriously brah.

So I gave him a $5/hour raise to shut him up. Parenting and bossing 101. But that 21 yr old and me are gonna have a talk very soon about rent and utilities. And his company fuel card. Bro, your girlfriend lives 50 miles away. That's my fuel, my tires, my insurance, my alllllll of it. 

Pulled my RV and kids toy hauler out of Glamis and put them back in storage today. It's been an awesome 5 months. 

Wait, wut? You bought a car and I didn't transport it? Whateva. Nice car though. 

Hero stuff right there. Sacrificed his SxS to help someone out.

Easy, they both live with and work for me. My 21 yr old son is a full time employee and my 18 yr old daughter is part time while she finishes high school. 

I built two businesses based around off roading, mostly Glamis, so it's easy for us to spend a lot of time together. But I got sick of them being in my RV so I got them their own toy hauler 3 seasons ago. Best thing I ever did.

But eventually they will leave? 

.

Good deal. I ran the 16.50 X 17 for two seasons and liked them a lot.

Diesel Bros is doing a 6X6 Hummer wrecker.

Trying to figure out how I'm going to get 15 Funco's to Glamis for the regatta.  Working today, sick day tomorrow (cough cough). Heading to Nipomo this afternoon with my GF and her kids to meet her mom.  Staying the night, home tomorrow evening.  One more shift Monday then head to Glamis Tuesday through Monday for President's weekend.

The ballers just go in a straight line in front of pad 3 over and over again. Don’t use what they do as a metric. They are there to be seen. 

Seen it first hand! I was there a few seasons ago wrenching on a client's car and when his group came back to camp he was directing them on where to park the cars, pointed in a certain direction, etc. It wasn't for ease of leaving camp fornthe next 'dune' run. It was so they looked the best while parked in camp.

Sand Hwy Mafia forever ese.

Camped Vendor's my first trip New Years 1996 (have the shirt to prove it). Then Pad 1 so we could be close to the drags back when Blue Thunder was the sh!t. Tried Wash 4 with the crew from KROQ once. Once. Discovered Roadrunner around 2014 and camped with a great group, lots of board members here, some former board members. We did a Keyhole trip once and the group kinda broke up after that. But we did get a great Youtube video of the weekend by dunefreq. Tried Pad 3 but not for me. Back to Roadrunner and that's s where I'm staying. We have around 25 families that camp with us on different weekends. No matter when I go out there's always someone from our group there to camp with. 

No RV dump station at the Love's Westmoreland.  Red Earth, or either of the ARCO's on the 86.  Red Earth charges, ARCO's I believe are free.
