Anyone going to the Off-road Expo in Pomona this weekend?

Thinking about it to go see the Sherpa runner. I gotta smog the Tacoma and get rear tires for the car though so it depends how early I can get that shit done. Gotta be in Beaumont by 3 on Sunday.

Foggy here this morning
Going to be humid again

 

[madtaco461]

Ok I'll agree that today is humid and nasty.

Off road expo is fun. Been a few times, but I'm skipping this year.

 

[Chris In Milwaukee]

Yup..it's hot again

I think we’re done with the hot stuff this year. But I might still be an asshole.

 

[Octanejunkie]

I'm by the coast, too; 9 blocks from the ocean. Everything thing around here gets wet and salty

 

[4runner DOA]

I'm like 15 miles, but all that shit funnels straight to Anaheim. My sister used to be within walking distance to Manhattan Beach. Her car paint was all fucked up by the time she sold it and moved up north.

Are any of you guys bathing yourself in DEET to stop getting bit by these F'N mosquitoes???

I'm a F'N "happy meal" to these F'N vampires???!!!

Yes. I think they're becoming immune to it.

 

[WileECoyote]

Yes. I think they're becoming immune to it.

Plus, I never knew this until just yesterday after reading about these little bastards, ONLY the female mosquitoes are the ones that bite because they need the blood for their eggs. The male mosquitoes feed on nectar and such.

HAHAHA, just like human females, a bunch of "F'N BLOOD SUCKERS" they are!!!

Nope, they don't like me for some reason. To much whiskey perhaps lol

Charity on the other hand has been a pin cushion for them

No whiskey here but the fly away from me and daughter. Wife and son are to the point of needing transfusions.

 

[Octanejunkie]

I did a thing... Alu Taco rad (Champion 1778)


1990 Camry lower hose trimmed to length

Radiator bottom doesn't exceed frame rails, 18-7/8* core

Trimmed shroud


Insulated mounts


Coolant volume increased to around 11 quarts, from 9.4 (rear heater)

Looks like mother nature isn't done fucking with the deserts. Really need to get this rig wrapped up so I can go check shit out.

 

[madtaco461]

I can’t remember getting rain in October. It’s nice. Maybe avoid fires this fall.
Shoot I think next weekend we might get another round of this.

Had an awesome lightning storm last night around 6-7pm with a good rain

Yeah we had some good lightning and thunder last night. Poured on and off for a couple hours. Hopefully it's a sign to come for this fall/winter. Gonna be cold in the desert but best case the dust stays low on the trails and things are fucked up enough to keep the mall crawlers home. Haha.

 

[Chris In Milwaukee]

Maybe that big lake thing will refill

 

[madtaco461]

That gonna take a lot of water.

Figure good time as any to pop in....

Anyone else not see the road lines when it's raining? Is it my fucken eyes?

I don’t either, despite having 20/20 vision. I drive a 3rd gen 4Runner, and the headlights are pathetic. I’m pretty sire an Amish horse buggy has better forward facing lights than my 4Runner.
