Riverside SOCAL Meet 25 May

[armytruck63]

Running a little late at work, should be there by 18:30.

It was fun seeing everyone and the three trucks that showed up, including the movie star truck. If anyone got pictures, please post them.

Thanks,
Matt

We had a good time. Three trucks and three without trucks which isn't bad for last minute before a long weekend. The convoy to pick up the Indy movie star deuce was a fun ride.

I only got a couple pics since I had to buy a new camera and took it out of the box as we headed out the door.

Hopefully there will be enough interest for monthly meets.

Next time I'll bring the truck, just have it all setup for the weekend right now. Great to see everyone.

 

[Barneyszoo]

That was a good time, and good turnout for a first time. We need to try and pick a week and do it every month, like the 3rd or last Wed. of the month. It was cool to just hang out and talk trucks and here what guys are working on. Goodtimes

 

[deuceaid]

I really wanted to be down there ( meet you guys)... but had alot of work at my mothers place,,cutting trees , and pulling out chain link... but I am looking forward to http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/70040-hemet-ryan-air-show-6-11-11-a.html

See You again recorder,,,well didnt see you the first time,,, but saw your rig,,, and your video,,, can you send me vids from chino 2010???

 

[Loco_Hosa]

I had a great time with ya'll, still working on my convoy skills and learning the truck. I felt tiny between your two monsters.

Like Barneyszoo said,
I like the transition of camo colors on the three trucks from 3 color CARC, to a mix of that and tan, to desert tan.

See photos from DUG.

It would have been fun to come by, but I had GL auctions to bid on today.... I won an M146 trailer.

Nice, will we be seeing a M146 Ultimate Camper build thread soon?

 

[JDToumanian]

Yup it's going to become a camper, but rather minimalist... A/C on the roof but I'm not sure about a genset so the A/C may only work when plugged in to shore power. I'm going to paint the walls seafoam green, leave the roof white. Clean, sand, stain, and seal the floor. Interior appointments have yet to be determined...

I've got a line on an M275 tractor to pull it with.

Jon

 

[armytruck63]

Wouldn't your Detroit Diesel M52 would pull that trailer nicer than an M275, even though the M275 is technically correct?

Nice score!

 

[JDToumanian]

The M52 runs very well but has bad tires and unfortunately also has a cracked frame, and may ultimately end up parted out. It is titled but not registered or insured so it wouldn't be able to go on the base for recovery anyway... I'll probably pay Barstow Towing to do it, unless someone local wants to do it for fun, fuel, and food.

I towed the scout trailer to Idylwild instead of going to Dirtbag. We had a huge competition that weekend (which we won).

So yeah, that was me. I live off of Bundy.

 

[LowTech]

OK, I'm back!

When's the next one?

Cost of diesel scares me

 

[Loco_Hosa]

I would really like to do another gathering around the 22nd or so, since I will be moving away from Cali absolutely no later than the 25th.
