pigeonfarmboy · 02-18-2005, 01:24 AM

I'm up in Glendale. Just ordered all my clod parts. I'd be willing to make the trip. It would be really nice if you could post some pics of the site you speak of!

iwantoffroad · 02-18-2005, 11:40 PM

here is a link to the park
http://www.ocparks.com/irvinepark/

this is a possibility to a location

the other is in aliso viejo
a canyon the only problem is the crawl spot is a mile away from were u can park your car but its sweet crawl spot

badtodabone · 02-18-2005, 11:50 PM

i live in San Diego how far away is it from here???

iwantoffroad · 02-19-2005, 10:40 AM

its about an hours drive from down town san diego to were the park is located
r u willing to make the drive
THIS RUN WONT BE FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTILL I FINISH MY TRUCK
i have all the parts to build it except the top link mounts i trying to sell some aluminum shocks for 30 so i could buy the g-made upper links mounts they look beefy

Also the park has more than 1 spot to crawl there is a steep hill climb
i know these trucks are capable of some big rocks
so its a good thing that there are more than 1 crawl spots

badtodabone · 02-19-2005, 07:39 PM

i might be able to make it if i can find a set of tires for my truck. I need jumbo swamp dogs

badtodabone · 02-19-2005, 07:51 PM

We might have a problem

i sent the park an email to check it out if its okay
but they havent sent a response
there is also a canyon near my house that would probably be okay to crawl in

Rockpiledriver · 02-21-2005, 11:22 AM

I'm in set a date.

gregrocks90046 · 02-23-2005, 07:52 PM

c'mon guys! somebody just pick a location and a date. i have no problem driving anywhere in the so cal area, it's nice to get out of your hood for a while! once we get it rolling it will grow pretty fast.

badtodabone · 02-23-2005, 09:18 PM

theres a river bed down the street from my house that has mean rocks

iwantoffroad · 02-24-2005, 06:51 PM

bad to the bone
i couldnt get my parents to drive me to san diego
sorry
the good news is i have all the things i need to build my crawler except the upper link mounts
i am building the whole chassis next weekend

gregrocks90046
what part of la do u live in
and u said u would be willing to drive anywhere
so from a point of reference from downtown to the canyon or the park which ever its around a 1.5 hour drive

this would be my first get together so for the course which ever we decide do we set up the gates with tennis halves like in competions?

gregrocks90046 · 02-25-2005, 08:08 AM

i live in the los feliz/hollywood area. i'll try to shoot some pics of possible crawl spots and post them here.

MOTORRAD · 02-26-2005, 09:27 PM

Im down here in SD also. All the good crawling spots I know you need a decent 4wd to get to. (I have a 67 FJ40 that is modifyed) so with everyone needing their parents to drive them I guess that is out. Let me know where and when and Ill see if I can work all the bugs out of my trucks.

badtodabone · 02-26-2005, 09:42 PM

I have a creek bed and a river bed with nice boulders by my house if anyone wants to come.

gregrocks90046 · 02-26-2005, 09:47 PM

as promised, photos of some possible crawl spots in griffith park. this creek was about 5 feet wide, the water only a few inches deep.

TurboB18C · 03-03-2005, 12:57 AM

I'm in the OC, have some old RC's but no crawlers. I wouldn't mind coming out to watch the action for a bit. If I can find my charger, I can bring my video camera out to tape some of it. Post up loc/time/contact info ahead of time so things can get organized in advance.

beast · 03-05-2005, 08:28 PM

C'mon guys.. We cant let everybody else have all the fun. We have enough people interested in the area to have a really good crawling get together. I wouldnt mind helping to set something up. Heck... I'll buy all of the tennis balls..LOL
