I have not. Pics of that will make Lars jealous! Let's do it! ETA: my few Airmail Beacon trip pics- https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-nXds7S

I suddenly have a weekend in October open if that weekend works for going back out there.

With the low response we should probably just pull the plug.

Wow Dusty! I can get a sense of just how much time you've put into this, and it isn't trivial! I haven't been back to that specific area since that trip. Shortly after that trip I re-read Shortfuse's section on it and realized that we were in the wrong canyon to find the tunnel, which we knew...

I was hoping for more date input, but I think that we'll need to run with what we have. 10th-12th it is. Now for where. I've been pondering a vast number of permutations and combinations. Most critical is the meet-up place. Today on the drive home I decided to make it Peggy Sue's in Yermo. Most...

Been working on When. The best weekend for me is Oct. 10-12 with Oct. 24-26 a distant second. The Where I'm still working on. Our group's usual rule is to stay under 100 miles/day. That long day at Calico when we went out to the Husky Monument a hunnert years ago or so was just short of that...

The Crow Bar in Tecopa? The Lucky Spur in Kingston? Oh wait, that might be a bit too far. Too bad the Happy Bottom Riding Club is closed. :)

It just might...... :)

So now that it's starting to cool off out there let's revive this. Let's keep it to three days or less. Most can squeeze a Friday easier than a Monday, so let's say meet up somewhere Thursday eve or Friday morning with the plan to split up sometime Sunday afternoon. There will be no base camp...

There is a vendor who frequents the Pomona Swap Meet who deals in all sorts of automotive manuals, repair manuals, owner's manuals, etc, If they still have any, can also try Helm.com for some factory manuals. Can also try Aerobooks in Burbank (?) although that's a little outside their normal.

I just stumbled onto your review @ SendCutSend. Whatcha buildin?

The best kit is the one that you have with you. <- Learned that one the hard way. After that I think it comes down to personal preference. I've not seen the ARB kit, no doubt it's a decent kit. I have several of the Safety Seal kits and at least one kit made up from individual tool purchases...

Most in the Overloaded er. lander community will say Safety Seal: https://safetyseal.com/kits/ Their tools and components are good, not a fan of any blow-molded cases. They take up way too much room. Top tip: If you're going to carry a tube to fix the really bad tears put it in one of those...

Sidewall tear. Not much can be done there. I have, cough, cough, heard of such a thing being "sewn" back together with safety wire, booted on the inside, and then a tube inserted. Would NOT recommend that, I heard that it took a long time and was very marginal at best, but it got u, I mean them...

How many do you need? I have 6 of the actual Con-Ferr's that I should probably move to a new home.

There is exactly one extra clamp that was made, and it's a proof of concept assembly that triggered a couple of changes in the short production run of them. I could make more, but even if you needed 8 of them, the economies of scale aren't there. You'd need to want them pretty badly.......

I'm booked for April, and with the new job I won't have a 3 day weekend until it's a Holiday. It is starting to get warm out there. That may or may not be a concern. Should we push to Fall?

Oh yeah.... Dust to Snow was one of the more epic NV trips. I was in Patch. You'll see it in some of the pictures, a multi-colored '84 Xcab yota (hence it's name) with a high top shell on it. There's some good camp-fire stories from that one.

Which one? More than likely I was on that trip.
