Turkey week '07

[Wilson]

I'm going to be in the area the week before thanksgiving this year. Anyone going to be out there Mon, Tues or Wed, prior to thanksgiving? I'm thinking of towing the cruiser down and hitting some trails. I've been to the hammers once and would like to tag along with someone, if they didn't mind. 1970 fj40, slightly modded:grinpimp:

[RE:Todd]

I plan on being there, but probably not until Wednesday evening.

[Wilson]

Thanks Todd, I remember wednesday being the day you guys usually start showing up. We're going to have to catch Thanksgiving with family in Orange County and have a wedding Friday.

Cool, we should look forward to seeing you on Saturday then ?? :D :D

[Wilson]

If I can't get out there, Monday or tuesday, then yes, maybe Saturday. I have to drive home Sunday though, and that's a lot driving.

[samota87]

Im think about showing up on monday or tuesday. Ill be in a slightly modded 88 4 runner.:D

I wasnt at all involved in the build. He never was there for me to look at it as it was being built. Everytime he told me to come over he wasnt there. This is how i picked it up. When i got it home i found all of this. I cut it out and am going to start over.Here is a few more.

No more, please, you're making me sad.

That is bad stuff, but luckily you caught it. Cut that roof apart and use the tubing for small pieces in the rebuild. Just get it done before t-day!

I dont have the time running my own business. So i took it to some that I thought did really good work. Come to find out i was wrong.

Damn, I saw your original post, but most of those pcitures were not in there. That is FAR worse than the cage that Apeters89 got his first time around. I know how you feel, I'm running my own business too and have had to pay for some work because I simply don't have the time for it. I've ahd better luck and found a shop that would work at night, to build the cage just how I wanted it. It wasn't practical for me to try adn do it at home, after work.

How do you get to the Hammers from Bakersfield, Ca

[RE:Todd]

How do you get to the Hammers from Bakersfield, CaTurn left, then right, then left, then right, go straight, then left onto Boone Road :D :D :D































































Do a driving directions to Landers CA, then back track 5 miles on 247.

And if that red Toy in your profile is yours, you're not going to have any fun because it'll be wadded and junk :D :D

[jpfrk2001]

Im going to try and make it. I got nothing else to do. I'll be flat towing my junk and sleeping on the ground in a tent:D

[Goatman]

How do you get to the Hammers from Bakersfield, Ca

Take Hwy 58 east to I15, then north on I15 a couple of miles to Barstow, exit and go south on Barstow Rd/Hwy 247 for 30 miles to Lucerne and a 4 way stop, turn left at the 4 way stop onto Old Woman Springs Rd/Hwy 247 and go 22 miles to Boone Rd, which only goes left and is a dirt road, follow for 3 to 4 miles to the dry lake bed.

BTW, we'll be out there the weekend before Thanksgiving if anyone wants to come and run with others on Sunday.

[Irish Style]

The 395S way is faster then taking the 58 all the way to Barstow. Too many BigRigs on the 58 between Kramer Junction and Barstow.

Im thinking of bringin a full turkey and deep fryer for the occasion:D

Any one want deepfried turkey?

Yeah, I'm trying to make it out there. If I do, I give myself an 50/50 chance of breaking my shit to the point of un-repairable:laughing:

[psychocj2]

I had a family emergency, so I will be going down tonight to apple valley, The rig isnt ready so I cant kill 2 birds with one stone. If I get back early enough next week I will turn around and drive back down:shaking:

[adampfisters]

Looking to run some trails but all my friends are no wheeling family time turkey eaters. If I make it down, anyone care if I jump on your bandwagon and wheel with your group. Haven't ever been down there but from the pictures, it looks like a great time.

I think I am leaving the east bay wednesday night or thursday morning if anyone wants to caravan down there as well.

[TotalImmortal]

Not as sorry as your gonna be when you have to dig a 6 foot deephole in the lake bed to bury the turkeys and Turdukins, on a bed of coals, then wait 8-10 hours just to dig it all back up!:evil:

I got a buck says you'll hit the local Wallymart and pick up a fryer and two gallons of peanut oil on the way in!:laughing:

I have never been to Johnson Valley, and rarely go out on t-day weekend anywhere. So I have to ask how serious this is about crowding. I just don't feel like being around many people with the year I have had. I would love to come and meet some PBB peeps, even tho I don't have a rig. Will it be really bad out there this weekend?

There is plenty of wide open space for your alone time! ;)

I have an open seat if you want to wheel as I am sure a lot of people will have room in their rigs. If you make it out, look for a BIG blue POS on rocks and 49s.

Just talked to the wife, Johnson Valley sounds like more fun. We are planning on leaving late tomorrow night around 8-9. Should only take about an hour and a half to get there. Hope I don't get lost.

I looked up directions on google, anyone got better directions from French Valley/Murrieta area. Will be coming up the 79 through Hemet.

Looking forward to finally meeting some people on here. Can't miss me the hauler is 24' long, 13'+ tall and WHITE. :D

Give me an email and I can do a yahoo map from your general area right to the lakebed.

Edit: give me at least a good general area. Like the town you live in. No slang. Im new to Cali, but I do know exactly how to get there and plot it

Glad your going to make it to see what the hammers are all about, you'll have a blast! To get there if your going east on the 247: at the stop sign where the 247 starts you go like 23 miles and you'll se a big white arrow on the right side of the road, go about a mile past that and you'll see a sign on the right side of the road that reads something like "johnson valley OHV Boon rd." then make a left on the dirt road (there is quite a few JV signs just look for the boon rd one). Take it slow because its a little drop off. then follow that dirt road all the way and it will dump you off in the lake bed, the road was a little soft 2 weeks ago when I was there last.
Ill be out friday morning, hope to see everyone there!:smokin:

We technically live in Winchester, but we are closer to Temecula. From what I can see we will take 79 N thru Hemet and then east on 10 north on 62 and then north on 247. From google maps its about 80 miles. Not bad.

[adampfisters]

Leaving the east bay at 2:00AM, see you guys 9ish

[adampfisters]

I would just like to thank the fawkhead Mike for deciding to take my rig for a ride on Friday night. What the hell went through your head???? Oh, this rig looks cool - lets take that for a spin. Fawking asshole!!! What the hell goes through someone's head to just up and steal someone's rig? Shit, just ask me to take it and guess what, no problem but to just fawking take it is so fawked up. I am pissed that it costs so much to give someone the ass beating with a pipewrench that they deserve. :mad3:

[Mustard Dog]

Bummer

[adampfisters]

His friends about kicked his ass and told him to go and wake me up to let me know what he had done. He came down and told me that he asked me for a ride and I took him for a ride but left it out in the middle of the desert because I was too drunk to drive. I told him "bullshit, yes I got drunk last night but I left my rig at camp (2 camps up where I was hanging out because I was drunk and didn't want to drive drunk). He told me that I was really drunk and probably wouldn't remember so I called bullshit again. We got out to my broken rig (not really broken but my hydralic ram came unscrewed luckely or who knows where this asshat would have gone) and saw two footprint tracks one from the drivers and one from the pass., well guess what - drivers were his prints and pass. is unknown (I was wearing military boots with very identifiable prints) and he still tried to tell me that I drove so again I call bullshit and end up fixing my rig. His friends were stand up guys and pissed at the whole situation and let me know that he was never coming with them again. They were also pissed that he tried to tell me that I did it. I had a very good experience with EVERYONE I met this weekend except this jackass which you can see why.

[TheTonka]

THAT'S FAWKED UP! Adam, it was great meeting you and I hate that this happened. I came looking for you on Friday night with a beer, but you had wondered off and I couldn't find you. Next time I will try and have even more beer and you name is on as much as you can want.:D

I am pissed that it costs so much to give someone the ass beating with a pipewrench that they deserve. :mad3:

Wow, sorry to hear.:shaking:

Mike who and what rig? Was it just a "drunk buddy deal", or someone you didn't know?

I remove my steering wheel and pull some other protective precautions almost every night before I go to sleep. My dog and .45 are secondary response!

We all joke, about how the first guy to bed may find his rig on blocks, or rolled over in camp, but to date no one has messed w/ my shitbox. ;)


I hate to joke on your misfortune at all, if it wasn't a buddy deal. If it wasn't a buddy deal, then the "pipewrench" should be in order.

Rick.

[miguelitojeep]

was that rig out by Clawhammer? We ran claw sat and saw a buggy with its steering messed up. we kept on going. people can be so stupid when there are drunk....

[Easy Rick]

Wow, I just realized there was a page 5, where you explained it all. as some one else said, "Name On!"


Sorry someone did ya like that,
Easy.

EDIT: Name him so I can know who he is, please! I don't want to ever camp with him or turn my back on him!

[jpfrk2001]

thats some crazy shit! I will never leave my stuff so easy to take again! I got lucky this trip I guess? It was my first one! Im sorry to hear about that crap.

[adampfisters]

EDIT: Name him so I can know who he is, please! I don't want to ever camp with him or turn my back on him!

I don't think that he is on this board - he was with a group of GREAT people but was a bad apple that was a friend of a friend or relative-in-law so got invited. You guys won't see him again, everyone there assured me that he wasn't EVER going again. I wouldn't mind meeting him one more time with a video camera so I could post a little on here that was 35% for gore but at the time I didn't have all the details, I knew he wasn't right but didn't know he needed to have the shit kicked out of him. Yeah I have a steering wheel and a couple override switches and a few other items that will not allow my rig to be taken but it wasn't like it was in a hotel parking lot.

I hear you about the buddy thing but that is more of park it around here so he can't see it type of thing. I didn't know this guy and wasn't any part of a buddy thing.

Sounds like a good time Odie, I as well had a great time with you guys. You guys are great people and I would love to wheel with you again.

what's up adam...i'm the guy who said "where's the dude with the 49's?" when you were sitting right next to me hahaha. i introduced myself afterwards.
yes, mike was in our group. he just got married to an old friend of my cousin and they got invited for the thanksgiving thing more than the wheeling thing. he doesn't visit the board or even wheel. he hardly left his camper the whole trip and then he did this...wtf? you really should have kicked his ass. sorry again -matt

[miguelitojeep]

:laughing: classic....I heard you busted up your TJ again on Sat night after we left your camp. crazy mo fo. I made it back to SD. Ran sledge, winched once and then drove to SD:flipoff2:. what a weekend!

[TotalImmortal]

thats awesome. you're crazy for driving there and back.

it was cool seeing the guys from washington at the start of sledge. you guys have some big rigs.
it was also cool meeting some of the tin benders. still haven't met mustard dog though..you were passed out when we rolled by your camp.

ya i put my jeep on backdoor saturday night. gave it hell but couldn't get my passenger rear to climb the undercut. didn't bust an axle though:flipoff2:

I did tear an upper link mount off...o well.

[Beat95YJ]

I did tear an upper link mount off...o well.

I thought I saw your TJ as I was leaving sunday.

FWIW I broke bolts on both upper links just driving to the trail on Sat...:shaking: (and I broke a drive shaft, yoke, mashed another muffler, the floorpan and possibly bent some coilovers)

[Mustard Dog]

Here's me and Air Ride poseured up on adamphisters massive rig:laughing:

[TotalImmortal]

oops:laughing:

[TheTonka]

Here's me and Air Ride poseured up on adamphisters massive rig:laughing:

That thing dwarfs most of the rigs I saw out there. We were even wondering if it would fit inside my hauler with the second floor removed. :laughing:

Wish I could have seen it in action. Next time.:D

[TotalImmortal]

it did good going through wrecking ball. did you drive the last waterfall adamphisters?

[miguelitojeep]

Maybe if someone knows more details they can start a thread, but I was wondering if anyone knew what happened with the helicopter and medical attention that went out towards Sledge on friday. Must have been pretty bad if they tried to get a chopper out there.

[Mustard Dog]

Is that where the chopper was going? We were kinda surprised at how long he circled for before coming down:confused:

[TheTonka]

I was wondering about that as well. I heard it and stepped out to walk to dog and saw it circling. It looked like it tried to land a couple of times. The first time was on the east side of the lake but it kicked up a LOT of dust and flew off. I came back around over us and it looked like it tried to land again off the lake bed to the north in the brush but backed off again. From our location I could see a lot of flashing reds out in that direction and some flashing reds and oranges off in the direction of the highway, but I could not tell if they were emergency lights or not.

[miguelitojeep]

yea he tried to land 3 times until he ran out of fuel. two of my buddys went on a co-op mission on a 110 to ge the info but didnt find out much. Just a guy screaming in pain:( hopefully he is alright. but yea the accident was right at the bottom of the lakebed heading to Sledge/jack

[Beat95YJ]

When I was pulling in on Friday at least 2 fire trucks and a chp passed me on the lake bed. They hauled ass for the size of the firetruck.

The next day I saw the chopper hovering forever.

[adampfisters]

it did good going through wrecking ball. did you drive the last waterfall adamphisters?

No, I was just in front of some guys that had wheeled this place for YEARS adn they said to crawl it till the front gets to the top and bail to the left side and it will bring your back around. It didn't look like the line to me but they had been there multiple times and said that was it. I tried it but there was a CAVERN under my drivers side rear tire that engulfed the whole 49" tire. I tried to spin it out but decided there was no point in breaking a shaft right there (first day) and backed it out (hooked up a winch line as backing was not really that much of an option as I had slid into this hole and was a little sideways). Backed to the piont that my rig was away from the hole and went right up idling.

[Beat95YJ]

Adam,

Was your buggy the giant blue one with rockwells and a cj clip? I think it was alone by our camp sat morning (Where the ultimate Tacoma was)

[miguelitojeep]

Ultimate Taco! I freggin saw that yesterday when I was leaving. man...i wanted to get a better look but thought I wouldnt bug you guys

[paul_arc]

has anyone seen my cell phone? I think i left it at backdoor:laughing:

Yeah I saw parts of it. :laughing:, it was good meeting and wheeling with you friday night. and that 2 wheel stall on the lake bed was classic, Hope you got your seat pulled out of your ass :flipoff2:

[JR]

Random pics

[JR]

It didn't seem like there were that many jeepers out this year.
It seemed that many who were there were broke down.
I must have 25 plugs in the left front tire now.
There are some really nasty lines on Sun Bonnet.

Bah...You should have stopped by.

Here are a few random pics, including JR's tire while it was waiting for more plugs, The Coolest Jeep ever, Goat1 wheeling a JK, and Fred putting eggs into a radiator to stop a leak (thanks maxyedor it works!)

[miguelitojeep]

haha next time. the "coolest jeep ever" is pretty freggin sick! I see these jeeps on here and almost feel like they are movie stars. I saw that "coolest jeep ever" when we were making our way to Claw on Friday

[2slo4u]

Hey, isn't this the lead singer for static-x?


:grinpimp:

[Beat95YJ]

Yeah, Wayne has a built Bronco (see the blue one above) and loves to wheel the hammers.

[TotalImmortal]

Yeah I saw parts of it. :laughing:, it was good meeting and wheeling with you friday night. and that 2 wheel stall on the lake bed was classic, Hope you got your seat pulled out of your ass :flipoff2:

haha that was hillarious. that takes pure skill!:laughing::flipoff2:

it was good meeting you too but i'm still pissed that you picked up your rig for that price:flipoff2:

[adampfisters]

Adam,

Was your buggy the giant blue one with rockwells and a cj clip? I think it was alone by our camp sat morning (Where the ultimate Tacoma was)

Yep - that is the one

[Easy Rick]

It didn't seem like there were that many jeepers out this year.I agree, unless those Rhinos are considered Jeeps?
It seemed that many who were there were broke down.Maybe you wheel with the wrong crowd!:flipoff2:
I must have 25 plugs in the left front tire now.4 more and its legally considered a full head of hair!:laughing:
There are some really nasty lines on Sun Bonnet.Whatcha talkin bout Willis?


Sorry I didn't get to see you, when I found where you were camped, you were gone.

Prolly broke down all alone somewhere...................:flipoff2::evil:

Easy.

I spent most of the time either on the trail plugging the tires or in camp bumming plugs from friends.

I seemed to have butchered the spelling on SUNBONNET PASS. Anyway, there's lot's of options, some of the best vertical climbs around.

[megatoy66]

Yes....over the years sunbonnet has been nice to me and not so nice, that "big" waterfall can be a killer.........or not. :D

[4skinner]

The heli was for a guy who wrecked his quad friday afternoon. His family was camped nexted to us. He broke his femer and maybe more. His family said they expected him to be in the hospital for 7-8 weeks! Hope he is doing ok...
