Thinkin' about a Get-Together in August (post Brothers Show).
This time how about some bbq?
Maybe this will get more members out since their trucks will be done for the Brother's Show.
I talked to board member Manimal (Lance) about doing the bbq and how he goes about it, and he sent me this pm;

Also need to find a good place to have this...
Would prefer a nice park in a nice area freeway close with enough parking that is close to the area we'll be eating.
Thinkin' Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park, San Dimas Canyon Park, Prado Regional Park, Upland Memorial Park, Ruben Ayala Park...
Any other suggestions?
Looks like the 3rd week of August unless there is holiday or another event.

Hey guys, I'm actually in the process of moving into the new, better, and bigger shop. I wouldn't mind having it at my shop. I have lots of parking, i'm right off of the freeways, and I have a big bbq here. I've been thinking about having a meet/ grand opening shindig so everyone can check the new place out, and see some of the projects we have going on, as well as check out the new chassis were just about done with that's going under the 63 c10. Let me know if you guys would be interested.

Where's the new shop?
I already have Manimal and his bbq trailer lined up for all the food. If this is cool, then we can move ahead. How does this sound to everyone else, next meet in the OC? Guests of WellBilt Kustoms?
Chime in on this one.

Has anyone decided or voted on a place? I think Ayala Park is cool LOTS of parking and good place to hang out and BBQ. Except when its AYSO soccer season. I missed legends and Im looking forward to this one.

I wonder how crowded that park would be on a Sunday? I'll have to check it out.
Does the third Sunday August 21st sound good to everyone?

Menu: BBQ Ribs, Beans, Potato Salad & Bread.

I need to get back to Manimal, since he will be our food vendor that day.
We'll also need to know how many people (including sig nif others, brothers, sisters, kids, moms and dads etc.) will be attending so we can have enough food.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 
Sounds good to me. It shouldn't really matter if we show up early to reserve the space. we can check it out before hand and see where would be a good spot to set up for parking and close enough to shaded area to chill and eat.

So what is it about leaving a show that I have truck trouble right after.
The steel belt in my right front 2007 brand new tires with 800 miles on snapped inside the tire. Cost me 130.00 today to get a new one. Had not planned on buying tires until I change to bigger rims and tires.
Whats next?

Re: SoCal checkin' in

You mean when the spindle snap, yes thats the tire.
Its been since 2007 so even though im under the mileage, the year covearge has past. But the tire shop is sending it back to the company to see if they will adjust the price so I can get some money back.

VDog, I take it it was an aftermarket spindle? What spindle were you running?

No aftermarket, that was a stock 73 truck spindle. Still have not changed to a lowered spindle. Probably before the year is up I will change them to the lowered ones.

huero 07-20-2011 08:24 PM
Re: SoCal checkin' in
 
Nothing wrong with stock spindles. I wonder what caused it to crack?

I think when I did the setup, I installed the bearing in reverse, or I did not have enough bearing grease and it got dry and cut into the spindle. I would have to go back and look at the piece to be sure. And to think, I was on the freeway going to and from the first Upland meet. Could have had a major accident on the freeway.
