Anyone go to TruckFlix and Chill today?

[Ashipman]

I started out around 4:30 am this fine wet day and got ready to leave. Now I got up at 4:30 thinking out the door by 5ish, pick up my bro and then, a 4 hour drive to Corona in So. Cal. I was going to TruckFlix and Chill down in Corona put on by OC Overland to meet up with the guys from Rago Fabrication so I could pick up some rock sliders. I ordered them the week before and to save on shipping they said they would be there at Corona for the event and that they would bring them along for me. Now as I said, 4hour drive. Well that didn't happen, bad weather and a little Saturday morning traffic made it 5 hours. Not too bad, It could always have been worse, it could have been a Friday night. I live in Paso Robles, CA., about 4 hours north of Los Angeles. The last time I took a Friday trip down in the abyss they call Los Angeles, it took me 8 and 1/2 hours. That was one long drawn out drive.

So I got there about 10:00 am. There were quite a few people there. A lot more than I expected. I saw a lot of really cool set ups. All most EVERYONE had a set of MaxTrax attached to their rigs somewhere. I met up with those Rago guys after checking out the show and picked my Sliders.



We loaded them up and off we went. Back up to the Central Coast. Through all the rain and the traffic again. It was quite a day and had some adventure, but I wont bore you with the details except to say that it was a fun time. My first time to an Overland event. I did meet someone down there from this group. Said he was a moderator on here but for the life of me, I can't remember his name, (sorry about that if you read this).

Anyway it was a blast. Made a new memory and plan to make many more in the future.

I wasn't there and you really drove.

Pretty sure you met @Mr. Nobody

 

[Mr. Nobody]

@Ashipman . Yep, it was me you met. Nice talking to you guys. Enjoy those sliders! Those things were beefy!!

Definitely a fun event. I didn't know you had driven from that far. That's a crazy drive, but to save on shipping I would do it to. Haha

Haha, it was more for the adventure than to save on shipping. But saving 2 bills was defiantly a motivator! Nice to meet you too!

Good Times.......

Honestly you spent a decent chunk of change on the drive (probably not $200), but you also got to go to a great meet. So that was fun.

Absolutely! It cost me about $120 in gas but it was totally worth it! No matter ho many times you see someone's set up there is always more cool setups out there and the people in this genre are amazing for the most part! What a community!

We were there! The weather was a little rough early morning but a great crowd showed up and we had a blast regardless! I saw those sliders sitting out and wondered who they belonged to.

Honestly I thought it was going to be worse and actually it made it kind of fun.
