S-10's at PISMO DUNES, PLANS FOR SUMMER

The Red Baron · 07-29-2007, 02:14 PM

Nope, it took two one ton trucks to pull him out. I'm the one who got stuck 100 feet down the beach at the same time.

Look over the bed of my truck in this shot and you'll see his truck.

Svenson14 · 07-30-2007, 03:00 AM

lol no more meetings at pole 6, sorry about that guys, if you look at the map they have online, you would never guess that pole 6 is so far down.

.....i didnt get stuck lol

Onimun · 08-01-2007, 01:33 AM

Yea i went and drove down to the end, it was really Deep down there.

Anyone going to be there the 11th?

pedro420 · 08-03-2007, 04:16 AM

i actually think that i am going to be there the weekend of the 11th. it is my gf's b-day and she wants to go camping...it would be coo if there were people going cause i am usually the only s-10

DigitalSoCal · 08-03-2007, 01:42 PM

looks kinda good that I didn't go.. my truck would've sank completely

Svenson14 · 08-13-2007, 03:32 AM

so did anyone end up going this weekend?

ill probably be going up on the 19th for a Bday of a friends.

Rompn · 08-13-2007, 04:49 PM

Looks like there is a good chance I will be heading up there with the fiance from the 26th - 28th (Sun. - Tues.) to meet with my parents and some neighbors that rented a Weekend Warrior. Will be taking my bike and the fiance's quad.

boxcarracer963 · 10-15-2007, 04:13 PM

dang i barely saw this thread my friend went to pismo a month ago and said it was badass, if you guys go again i would go for sure

Rompn · 10-15-2007, 08:10 PM

Well, I actually just got back yesterday from another Pismo trip. Probably the last one for the season since it's starting to get colder. Glamis time now.

Been too damn cold this weekend to go.

I tried to go out to Gorman/ Hungry Valley this weekend but the Stupid Accident on the I-5 Made it impossible. Im certain a few of you heard about it...

Well, I checked the weather before we went and it had rained up there two days prior. There was only a 10% chance of rain the day we were up there and it was 64* and sunny. The dunes were still darker than normal and moist from the rain a couple days earlier. It was perfect weather when we were up there Sunday. We took a buddy's old school ranger I don't have and pic's of and also this...

Jumped it numerous times...

and went a little too high once and busted the rear shock mounts. Some trick racing secrets out on the dunes got us back up and running for the day.

racer1044 · 10-15-2007, 11:55 PM

I used to live in lemoore CA small town out side of Fresno. I took my baja bug down there and got it stuck crossing the river took a full size bronco and a k5 blazer to get it outta the sand. I was mad but it ended up to be a good weekend. I miss pismo.

Onimun · 10-15-2007, 11:58 PM

Was there any water in the creek?

We didn't go that far over. If there is a decent high tide that day, it's almost guaranteed for water to be in the creek.

Onimun · 10-16-2007, 12:19 AM

Does anyone have a good map of Pismo? They would email me or link me?

I didnt see the creek while i was there and I had a hard time figuring out where it was.

You pass right over it to get to the camping area. It really only gets full on a HIGH tide. Check it out here (About half way down the page)... http://www.socaloffroading.com/showthread.php?t=20

Ya, Thanksgiving is a busy weekend but Halloween is the kick off of the new season there. With it falling on a Wednesday this year, some people are going the weekend before, some the weekend after. Were going the weekend after.

***What?*** · 10-16-2007, 02:31 AM

i hear ya on the halloween, i doubt ill make it by then, my wife is gonna be in town, otherwise if we get place now, then we would gone out for SURE!

The creek is gone, Ive been to pismo about 5 times in the last 2 months. Camped out, day trip, whatever.

I havnt seen the creek since 2006, it died ever since this drought started. IF it were to come back, it would be right before pole 2, its just before you get to the quad rental trailers.

Even during hightide, theres not enough water to make the creek, Its as if theyve filled in the sand high enough to prevent it. Its amlost imposslbe to spot where it was now.

-[sphEre]- · 10-16-2007, 01:07 PM

ahh wish i could have went maybe next time

Ohh ok yea i remember where that quad rental place was. I was looking for it while up there. When we went in July, i was expecting the creek. Dished out 40 bucks for new fenderwell inserts. Oh well. Has it been crowded up there lately?

Too bad glamis is too far away, or i would make a trip out there.

You usually only see the creek during a really high tide or a good winter storm. Usually the first few trips of the season it's still there. Otherwise ya, you drive right over it and not even realize it the rest of the year. It hasn't been crowded much at all becuase the cold weather is moving in.

Glamis is only about 3.5 hours away depending where your at. Not bad at all considering Pismo is a solid 2.5 - 3.

Onimun · 10-16-2007, 07:41 PM

Im right at the border of L.A. County, a good 3 hrs or so to pismo, in my blazer. 2-2.5 in any other car. Glamis is about 3-4 ish. Pismo also has the beach going for it.

If it wasnt so damn cold i would think about going up there. I usually just go up to Gorman and go offroading up therre, only 2 hrs or so for me. This whole I-5 Accident really screwed up traffic flow.

Too far... Pfft. No worthwhile adventure is ever too far away.

Then again, neither is a AAA card and a cell phone just is in case it really is too far.

Onimun · 10-18-2007, 03:04 AM

With my car doing 4500 RPM at 70 MPH anything above 55 is a reach

hmm then i should appreciate my 2,000 rpm at 65mph lol

what my plans basically was since i have extras rear end was to be able use the 3.42 for long trip as i bring my 4.56 rear end to swap at the location to have better highway mileage

Onimun · 10-18-2007, 10:56 PM

Swaping anything at location isnt fun. You just want to get out and play not swaping gears. The nice thing about having sed gears is that torque distribution is amazing. I can pull alot. As few may recall from pismo trip i easily pulled out a 2wd 1500 from sand. ALso rescued a ranger from a dink hole of doom.

WFO2.2 · 10-19-2007, 04:09 AM

did you guys air down?? I went riding there about a month ago and had to drive right through the high tide. The water went up all the way to the edge of the campers. We drove through the water for a 1/2 mile or so with no problems at all, besides the salt water getting all over my truck. Just air down anywhere from 10 - 15 psi all the way around and you'll be fine! I do it everytime and have never been stuck. Yeah so you have to air up afterwards, big deal

agreed, air down to about 10-15 usually works......and the beach party is easy, whether it has water or not....i just wouldnt go throught it if i could help it

Even during hightide, theres not enough water to make the creek, Its as if theyve filled in the sand high enough to prevent it. Its amlost imposslbe to spot where it was now.

Ohh ok yea i remember where that quad rental place was. I was looking for it while up there. When we went in July, i was expecting the creek. Dished out 40 bucks for new fenderwell inserts. Oh well. Has it been crowded up there lately? Too bad glamis is too far away, or i would make a trip out there.

Usually the first few trips of the season it's still there. Otherwise ya, you drive right over it and not even realize it the rest of the year. It hasn't been crowded much at all becuase the cold weather is moving in. Glamis is only about 3.5 hours away depending where your at. Not bad at all considering Pismo is a solid 2.5 - 3.

County, a good 3 hrs or so to pismo, in my blazer. 2-2.5 in any other car. Glamis is about 3-4 ish. Pismo also has the beach going for it. If it wasnt so damn cold i would think about going up there. I usually just go up to Gorman and go offroading up therre, only 2 hrs or so for me. This whole I-5 Accident really screwed up traffic flow.

Too far... Pfft. No worthwhile adventure is ever too far away. Then again, neither is a AAA card and a cell phone just is in case it *really is* too far.

You just want to get out and play not swaping gears. The nice thing about having sed gears is that torque distribution is amazing. I can pull alot. As few may recall from pismo trip i easily pulled out a 2wd 1500 from sand. ALso rescued a ranger from a dink hole of doom.

I went riding there about a month ago and had to drive right through the high tide. The water went up all the way to the edge of the campers. We drove through the water for a 1/2 mile or so with no problems at all, besides the salt water getting all over my truck. Just air down anywhere from 10 - 15 psi all the way around and you'll be fine! I do it everytime and have never been stuck. Yeah so you have to air up afterwards, big deal
