Work is really interfering with this weekend. It looks like the most I will be able to do is drive up for a run on Saturday and then drive home after.
Does anybody know if Hwy 18 is open yet to come up from Lucerne Valley or if I will have to drive all the way around to the San Bernardino side?

Oh yeah I'll be in the market for one of the SoCal stickers while up up there.
I just signed up for a membership today. I figure I've been free-loading long enough.

Anyone comin from the Oceanside area? I'm not sure of the directions, so it would be nice to have someone to caravan with.

I am not sure of anyone coming up from that area. When are you plannig on driving up? I don't the directions from O'side, but if you are going tomorrow morning, we can meet you at the 15/91 interchange. There is an exit right after you transition onto the 91 East from the 15 North. There are a couple of gas stations there. There are a couple of us coming in from OC and we are meeting at 6:30. We should be at the 15/91 interchange about 15 min later.
PM me and I will give you my cell #.

I'm going to have to cancel...my brake caliper is unable to retain one of its mounting bolts. Now it makes clunking noises. Me and my wife are going to have to spend some time cleaning out the threads and trying to figure why it keeps spitting out bolts tomorrow. That and we're poor. Maybe next one.

It was nice meeting you as well. You know when somebody not even affiliated with our group comes out to help keep trails open in our name, they have earned my respect. I hope to see you on the trail again anytime!!!

Wish I coulda made it but I need to get me a new spindle from the junk yard. The top bolt hole for my driver's side caliper is stripped so I need to replace that since it keeps spitting out caliper mounting studs... :rattle:Someday, I will have money and my Jeep will be in complete working order (or at least complete enough to be safe) and I will see youg uys on the trail!

Are the threads stripped in the knuckle? Not sure why you need a new spindle if the caliper keeps spitting out the top bolt.
Mine did the same thing. Replacing the knuckle is a pain, I haven't done it yet.
I bought a bolt and nut of the correct size. With needlenose pliers and a lot of cussing, I got the nut in place long enough to get the bolt through the caliper.
There will not be enough space for a washer and you may need to grind the bolt a little shorter to not hit anything on the other side.
Since I will be swapping out my pads soon, i'll get to revisit this whole situation. But I may do the ball joints at the same time.
