the jk suspension is so smooth that you don't notice that little bit of air. We noticed it leaking when we standing around B.S.ing watching each other climbing up a step long(for Pismo) dune. There was no reason to suspected any problems.

Sorry to kill the fun early guys.

Castor07jk: Thank you for been the tour guide

Zip: Thank you so much for fallowing back and making sure I won't be stranded 350 miles away from home.

Beepjeep: Sorry we couldn't make it to Twin Rocks the next day. Its all my rigs fault!

Spinningbull: Thank you and your wife for taking all the pictures, and we gotta meet up soon for some beers!


I did a late night drop off at the Oakland Jeep Dealership where I used to work at and had my gf who is still work for the same company with the store key to open up the service dept gate, so I could safely park my rig in the service bay. I am 99.99% sure the leak will be covered under warranty.
I even left a note for whoever gonna work on my rig that I will cover his lunch for dealing with my DIRTY jk.


Thanks guys!!!!

Looks like his radiator tank is cracked or seperated from the core.

I don't think my all 4s were in the air tho... But you however actually did a pretty good jump yesterday, I wish I could have snap few photos of it.


I went back to the dealership today to pick up all my gear and looked at the radiator again, and appear to me that there was a hairline crack. I am sure I will be getting few phone calls from the techs and listen to them telling me why I should be more gentle with my rigs and blah blah blah as usual

no worries- just glad you were able to drive home. it was well worth getting up in the wee hours of the morning to make the drive down. when i got home, i backed into the garage with my antenna still on and knocked the tip off

there were some better photographers in the group, but here are a few pics...

That was a blast. It is the group that makes these so much fun!

BeepJeep, nice shots!

Looking forward to seeing the pics from the official photographer of the day: Spinningbull'et

castor07jk, thanks for being our trail guide and sharing your knowledge of sand with us all. You did such a good job, nobody got stuck all day!

I want to go back and do it again, but I want to camp this time. I am thinking we need to camp on the beach, not at the beach, on the beach. Do some night wheeling there too. Maybe play a little fox hunt in the dunes at night. Basically, jeep hide n go seek.

That can be arranged

Hey! I just ordered a new bumper for my Warn winch ---> Went with the LOD stinger & skid plate.

I have to wait about 3 weeks though, LOD says they are swamped and 2 weeks out from shipping
...I'm patient

Cool Great time guys! Pics on the way

Spinningbullette took 400 pictures! So it'll tak away to get them sorted and uploaded, but she is working on it.

We had a great time, Pismo is a blast. We are definitely going back! Camping on the sand would be fun zip.

MBATF - we did catch a picture of you in the air, so we'll get that up soon. I guess your rig was the only one you touched this time, right?

Castor07JK - Thanks for showing us around, the family and I had a great time. Even my 13yr old loved it. She said "Sand is a lot more fun then dirt."

We also got great pics of the "salt-water bath" at the end of the day, including some shots showing off Zip's snorkel!

Beep, some great shots of your rig too...

Hopefully tonight.
