2016 Nor-Cal OTG Rally 2.0 Convoy
- Thread starter Mike G
- Start date
Registered for OTG2. I'm in for the San Jose and can meet at a South Bay rally point depending on time. Taking the FZJ80 and will need some frequent gas stops to fill up the old guzzler. I get maybe 10-11 mpg if i'm lucky fully loaded. Maybe 13-14 if I stay off the skinny pedal.
Haha dont worry im right there with you in my 100. 13 if im lucky
Corrie and Micheal have threatened to boot me from ob talking about my fuel economy. So i will post a picture....[emoji12] [emoji12]
Why does that number start with A 2? Looks weird.Corrie and Micheal have threatened to boot me from ob talking about my fuel economy. So i will post a picture....[emoji12] [emoji12]
Prior to me adding the armour, sliders, gobi rack and 35s. The worst i got was 12mpg. Adding the stuff now makes it 10.5 mpg at the very worst crusing at 80 mph. If I stay under 70mph I can get 12.5 mpg.[emoji45]

Gonna have to the freeway drive by of all the rigs video. Lol hmm how to do a drone vid ob the freeway
You need ine if those homing bracelets that a drone will follow.
The drive by would be easy, the drone would be difficult, especially since I don't own or operate one.
I would like to do a drive by while on the freeway and maybe an on ramp or even better overpass video of all the rigs going by.
Just got access to the members forum. Never realized this existed lol.
Anyway I'm in for the convoy. Coming from Oakland.

The Bay Area's Convoy meeting spot will be at the Starbucks in Gilroy at 7:00am-7:30am. Its on Camino Arroyo and HWY 152 (south side of HWY 152) A shell gas station is on the corner for anyone needing to gas up.
From there, we will make a pit stop in Madera's Walmart parking lot between 9:30 -10:00am so we can hook up with the Napa Convoy and Sacramento Convoy. From Madera well take HWY 145 to HWY 168 to Shaver lake.
If everything is on schedule, then we should be pulling into the OB Campsite around 11:30am where @SLO Rob will be handing out beers to the Convoy.

Just so everyone knows...This is Rob (the one on the right). He will have the beer, per Mike.

Correction, Slo Rob said he would have some coldies ready as we pull in. I just assumed it would be beer, for all we know he may have cold juice boxes for us [emoji4]
Cheers to @slo_rob !! Firestone Walker 895 for all
