So Cal desert rats

Looks like the new hang out spot Scott nice! Was looking at my jeep when I got home and some how I bent the shit outta my steering linkage on the pass. side good thing I got that currie setup, now I just have to pick it up... Another field trip to LA! :)
 
You talking about those HIDs? they draw around 30 amps at startup to start the arc, then the load drops to 10 or so. once the arc is ignited they take almost no power to run which is why so many people use them even though a 100w halogen is brighter than the average HID.
 
Well boys... got some bad news yesterday... :tears:
My old friend & one of my "off-road mentors" Bill Bryan passed away... WHAT a LEGEND !!
He goes right to the first root of the off-roading community... Mexican 1000 in the 60s... wheeling in the 50s & 60s, ever heard of the Palm Spr. 100 or 150 ??
Off-road Hall of Fame... contributor to several mags. and a regular in Desert Mag.
I'll post some links in a day or two... I know Race Dezert has a thread going...
The places this guy has been would make your mind spin... what he's done is pretty damn cool as far as off-roading goes...
Nothing like 4 days pre-running the 1000 with Bill... :eek: :looney:
ONE (less now) COOL LEGEND !!! :cheers:

How many folks do you know that have pissed in a fountain at the Blue Mosk in Istanbul Turkey ?? (accidentally of course)
He whispered to me(with a little snicker)... that it was the nicest outdoor urinal he'd ever had the pleasure to piss in... :laugh:


See YA !!
