You really need to bring the Tristar Bob, it need to see daylight every once in a while.

I just signed up! I'll be leaving the Seattle area Wednesday morning in my 87 Westy as the Transporter SC is still resting after killing a Ch#*y mini van that ran a red light.

I probably stop at the Van Cafe in Santa Cruz on the way home on Monday the 10th and I might have room for a few extra packages.... P-mail me.

I would love to go down this year. If I could just figure out what the hell this clunking in the back end is. I thought I had it licked and then on the way home from the last Vanagon gathering in Portland it started sounding like someone was pounding on the frame with a sledge hammer. It is intermittent so hard to track down. Sounds like a wheel is going to fall off.

I doubt I could keep up with Eric but it would be fun to try.

We'll be there for sure, with Myles the dog. I just want to say thanks to the organizers for allowing dogs this year. Ours goes everywhere with us, and last year my other half wouldn't come to SDM because we had to leave him home. This year she's going to be there.

For everyone bringing their furry friends, please join me in making the dog scene a pleasant one for everyone, including non-dog people. It only takes one incident, or one owner who doesn't respect the 'rules' to ruin it for everyone. If we keep it fun, and there are no problems, hopefully dogs will be welcomed again next year!!

Thanks, and see you there!!

Whoever is conducting the Syncro University on Friday at Syncro De Mayo, Can 2wd with Peloquin diff. fit in that training? Or don't even think about it Crying or Very sad

? I am getting my tranny rebuilt with Peloquin this week and would love to find out how well it can handle off road as well as its limitation. However, I also need to learn some techniques on how to handle off roads too.

Never been to Syncro De Mayo before...

Ok. How does this tread type look like for off road use?
I have these tires almost new and mainly used on the pavement. Quite and feels really good. I am getting my 2wd westy ready for Syncro de Mayo. New tranny with Peloquin is on the way, new clutch getting done, and Kennedy's shorten oil pan is on order... I ve spent enuf money already that I don't wanna have to spend any more money. I am planning on going off road a few time more after syncro de mayo. How does the tire look? It's Kumho road venture HT(heavy duty?) tires.

Do I understand correctly that I can show up at the gate without pre-registering if I don't use the camping facilities? I have family in Hollister where we will be staying.

Cheers Herman

itzdshtz lots of people would be happy to see the mods that you have made to your van in real life- myself included Cool

I went to SDM years ago and played at Hollister Hills several other times with a tread like that(uniroyal laredo) and it did ok. Air down and stay away from the mud pit and you should be fine. You would feel much more confident with some A/T tires though. Hollister Hills is almost always dry and dusty(I go there several times a year)- except for last SDM.
If it is raining don't drive down to SDM, you won't get out of the parking lot. The hollister dust turns into a super slippery mud that even A/T's have some fun with.

well no SdM for me this year, at least not with the Syncro. It is going back to Quebec for the summer.

I may show up for the day with my KTM Adventure to say hi!

Considering I live in Hollister I guess I have no excuse for not going Cool

. I'm trying like crazy to finish the new paint job on my 7-pass so I have something to show off, but we'll see. I've somehow managed to miss the last few SDMs since I've been driving, so I really look forward to going this year and hanging out with other real live vanagon people Laughing
