4wp event- Saturday/sunday in San Mateo

[srmitchell]

Hey guys.

Just wondering if you guys are going. I missed it last year, but my dad and I are going down to San Mateo tomorrow. I need a break from school!

There might be some really good deals.

It'd be cool to see you guys, I won't be back down till spring.

It looks like Rich, Harry and I will be there Sat. around 10 to heckle the vendors Sean. It would be good to see you and your dad!

 

[srmitchell]

Awesome! I was hoping to see you guys.

 

[XJensen]

ummm, I will be visiting family in Foster City this weekend. Maybe I can swing it...

 

[hiimmred]

It would be good to see you as well Josh. We will be in line at opening.

Watch out for that free admission, they have charged $7 to park in the past!

Car pool to save the parking fees.

I'll be there on Saturday. Probably around 1:00 or so. Should be fun to just check out the vendors again.

 

[srmitchell]

I'm guessing Rubicon wont be there...

 

[XJensen]

I'm guessing Rubicon wont be there...

I doubt it. Unless they were committed before the decision to shut the doors.

Looks like I will be there Saturday morning as well. Bring my 2 year old. She loves jeeps almost as much as I do.

Shoot me your numbers in case I am late.

Josh

[srmitchell]

Bummer... Im not coming down.

My dad has been down to the bay twice this week, was in Crescent City last night, and he's sick. Way too much travel for his stupid job. Too much stress!

So I cant make it. I've got too much school work anyway. Priorities.

Enjoy it guys.

For those who have gone to this show before, were there any good discounts on tires? I'm shopping for 31's at the moment and may consider going just to find some A/T's if it's worth the effort (not going up there to save $40).

 

[vanseldorf]

Does anybody know if previously there were good discounted prices?
I'm looking for rear bumper preferably with tire carrier and for folded rear quarters- definitely going to fold them, rocksliders, 4.56 gears for dana 30, 44 and lockers, maybe ARBs ? Not sure yet about chromoly axles.....
I have never been there and was wondering if it is worth a drive there from sac- price wise.
I would prefer to wait for some deals somewhere locally or online than spend 5 hours driving to save only $50-$100.
Anything like that planned for sac? Asking all these questions only because recently got my 98 XJ and started building it.
Thanks

 

[XJensen]

I am out. Wife's plans have change so now have mine. See you guys next time.

I doubt it is worth the money to drive in from Sac. In the past few years, most prices are retail or 5% less.

Thanks The_weirdo.
I better spend time with my family then, and... install Dodge Neon injectors

The show is pretty sad this year. At least 30% of the vehicles in the place are Jeff Arabia's (that is not the sad part, they are all pretty sweet). Not many vendors out this year, and not many deals to be had. Parking is $10 - not worth it IMO.

Edit: my old man saw Mr. Ed, but was too scared to go say hi to the "rockstar of the Sierra Chapter".

 

[srmitchell]

I would have ran up and given him a hug!! Hahaha
