**UPDATE** This will be a MOD DAY first and if there's time, we'll run up to Silverado Canyon **Unless we have some heavy suspension work to do, WE'RE RUNNIN**
Let's get together for a Mod Day, Meet & Greet, Show and Shine, and then, if there's time get our shiny and newly moded rigs dirty by running up Silverado Canyon to Santiago Peak. We have a couple of sponsors for this one already. The kind folks at AOE4x4 have stepped up. I'll get more details on the level of sponsorship they want to grace us with. Maybe a raffle, or something?? Feel free to throw in your ideas.
**AOE 4x4 has volunteered their shop and tools for a MOD DAY**You'll have to sign a release of liability before working on your rig ;)

Special thanks to Danny, at Off Road Performance Parts, for hookin us up with shwag (T-shirts and Stickers) Hopefully, it'll get down here by Sunday. If not, THANKS FOR THE EFFORT
http://www.offroadperformanceparts.com/
We'll meet at the AOE Shop (23192 Verdugo Dr. Laguna Hills, CA 92653) at 9:00am. Work on our rigs, or just show em off ;D, meet some new people, eat some breakfast Thanks to AOE4x4 , and if there's time head out for some wheelin. For those of you that want to partake in some post run suds, Cooks Corner (19152 Santiago Canyon Rd,Trabuco Canyon, CA 92679)is a great bar with a lot of history. It should be a great day!!

The trail I'm planning to run should be Two Wheel friendly. I'm going to Pre-Run it this Saturday, June 23, to make sure everyone can join us and get dirty. The Club Frontier guys are doing a run there on Sat, June 30. They're great bunch and have been kind to SCCX.

Looks like I'll have to wait to see the 38's... ;D

You must be new around here. ;D
Just kidding with you, but seriously, you would be surprised.

Does Max Power really exist?
He posts a lot of funny stuff
He signs up for a lot of stuff
I think I would like him
Is he just like the girls that are on the web that don't really exist in real life?
Has anyone here actually met him?
Enquiring minds.....
PS GhostX, if Oz is in Avila Beach with his wife, you don't get to see the 38's ::)
-
The real question is, are you going to join us in July Randy??

Used to sail with my dad when I was a kid....he used to joke that "boat" stood for "bring over another thousand." :D
Have fun Randy, see you next time.

I just got back from the frontier run at Santiago peak and it was really fun. We had a guy in our group with open diffs do the whole run. There were a couple of parts where I thought you needed 4wd but you didn't. Have fun guys. I might be in the area would you guys mind if I tagged along if I have nothing to do? ;D

We ran Silverado Canyon in 2WD last week. Just to make sure it was doable. It's all 2WD friendly.

So, it's not going to be a Mod Day unless we're modding our rigs. What are you planning on doing to your rig on the 15th??
I'm adding a row of lights to my X.
-
Gas tank skid install...maybe sliders.
-
ummm help I guess... unless someone has a welder so i can fix my hood latch support... if not more trail time!
-
I need to install a new flux capacitor. I've paid to have mine changed a couple of times. The bills are starting to add up. They said I need to change it again so I want to do it myself this time and save some $$.
-
funny sorry...I've seen how tos on how make a replica replica...i may do it sometime
-
RMaligie has some sliders to do
-

We'll have access to a welder at AOE

I know it's a Nissan thing but would you guys mind if I showed up in my other truck? This truck can hold it's own.. ;D(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/totkid760/IMG_1561.jpg)(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p622/totkid760/IMG_1562.jpg)

Under your unfortunate circumstances, it would be just good to see you Chad. Even if you show up in a Chevy ;). I'm just joking my man. The more the merrier.

Hey Guys, I think I'm going to stop by so I can meet everyone.

If I don't get Shi819's suspension swap done this week, then I'll be driving her X down there to do it then. If not then I'll be re-wiring my lights on my X.
Oh also, it will just be me. Our son is spending time with the Grandparents the next couple of weeks, and Shi flys out to Boston Saturday morning.

Any Chance somebody is going from the Ventura county, San Fernando valley area? If so I would like to send some swag to the event.....
-
Why do these things always have to happen when I have to work the night before? I have to work a DUI checkpoint Saturday night and won't get off until 2:00 am on Sunday. I am debating on sucking it up and getting very little sleep and making the drive. I have an intake manifold spacer to install and hope we can make a run too.

By the way, thank you for your service ;)

a) come on....do you think our 'firewood' friends would use that excuse?
b) how often do you get to see so much sexy Xterra-ness in one place?
c) dude...roll. they made coffee and 5 hour energy for a reason
;D
-
oh, and p.s. I'll be there.....no mods to do but I love this group and a chance to meet up with you guys in practically my back yard I can't miss!!

Chris...all I will say is that you can show up late and we would totally understand. Would be great to see you for sure. Want to see your Garvin rack installed.

Whoa there John....is there something you need to tell us?!?

I have a set of AC upper control arms and SA torsion bars just sitting.. been prepping my camber bolts with pb blaster for the past week. If my bolts aren't seized (which I really think they are due to the truck being originally from Chicago), then I'll be able to swap everything out on sunday. If they are, then I'll have to wait until I can order some new ones so I can just cut the old ones off. I'm hoping it all works out but we'll see what happens.

Backatchya buddy. ;)

I just really love me some sleep. I have a personal best record of 16+ hours of sleep just because I didn't feel like getting out of bed. I never use any stimulants, coffee or otherwise. The location is an hour and a half drive from me and doing that while you are sleepy can equal a fail. I really do want to go though, I want to install my mod and wheel and hang out with everyone. Any sexy time would come later in some secluded spot on the trail :-*

-

No I'm going to North Hills for a party on Saturday. I live in Covina and will leave from there on Sunday. Well if the party goes well then I may wake up in North Hills drive home and clean up then to the the event. ;D

Is someone bringing SCCX decals I can buy ???
-
I need to install a new flux capacitor.
Roads?!?! Where we're going, we won't need roads.... 8)
-
I have two CBs that I don't need. They are older ones but still work. I'll bring them and if anyone wants one to use they are free. The catch is you can't take one and sell it to someone else, they are to remain free. If you try to sell it later on then the monster under your bed when you were a kid will come back and get you. Don't let the monster get you.
-

I'll have some there!

Do I need to bring my own tools or will the shop be lending us theirs?

AOE will let us use all their stuff. You just have to sign a waiver

Hey Ray,
Sounds like fun. Had a change in plans and can get there by 11:00AM and be able to help?
-
Sweet!! We can use all the help we can get. The sooner we get done moddin, the sooner we can get to muddin.
-
That was a lot of fun today, it was nice to meet a lot of new people. It was also nice to see some old friends, including Jake.
This picture has nothing to do with the mod day, but when I was talking with Chris (Panathrasher) he mentioned about having to check out a guy with a shotgun and a chainsaw wandering down the street last night. Sounds like the same guy that I saw earlier in the day yesterday.

Great day today! Thanks Ray for getting this all set up! The trail was an awesome one as well. Hopefully everyone has gotten home safely. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the trails!
-
Nice meeting everyone today. Our jurassic park adventure was great as well. Broke my cb antenna mount on the way down but its all good. Hope to do more runs with you guys.
-
Great day yesterday. Thanks Ray for setting this thing up. Got to meet some new folks. I have to admit we can be a pretty awesome sight rolling down the road together.
Hope everyone got home without incident also.
-
Thanks for everyone that made it such a great day. It was a great turn out. Looking forward to many more adventures with you guys.
Special thanks to AOE4x4 for volenteering their facilities for the Mod Day.
Check out the Photo/Video section for my pics, and add some of your own ;D
-
Thanks Ray & to all of you. Was a great day looking forward to seeing all of you again soon.
-
A great day for sure...thanks to Ray for setting this up and to Alex at AOE4x4 for hosting the event and use of his facilities.
Met quite a few new members which was great, and chatted with a lot of friends on everything Xterra.
Good times and look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Oh I wasn't trying, I was....I think that was clear when lifted your shirt and started taking pictures. No shame!!

We will make sure to have some alone time for the two of you next time on the trail. :D

Well done Ray! It was great to meet everyone, namely Mr. Frank B, old friends, the rest of my newbie class and confirmation that MaxPower does exist! Great folks = Great club.

confirmation that MaxPower does exist!
Ha Ha fooled you again. That was not MaxPower that was an actor hired to "play" MaxPower.

BTW.....I left the group just before we all made it to the top of the peak. I made my way down the way we came and after a couple of miles ran into a sedan with 4 early 20's kids in the middle of the road. They had a flat and had no idea how to change it. So it was SCCX to the rescue...they were fixed up and told how to turn around to get off the mountain. By the end there were a few trucks backed up so I was happy to help them out so the rest of you didn't come down and find them stuck.
It was a fun day.....thanks for setting it up!!!
