SoCal members?

[cdsmorron32]

I know the SoCal forum recently closed but I was wondering how many CAFCNA members are still active in the southern California area. I wave to as many Avy owners as I can but they never wave back. So I am just wondering, Where is everyone at? I am in Whittier.. 

[AVYinSoCal]

Anaheim.

[RENORCR]

I'm just about anywhere in SoCal. But mostly in Downey if one is looking.

[cdsmorron32]

Anaheim.

Welcome AVYinSoCal! I see you are new member 

[ernie57]

I live in Beaumont and work in Ontario I don't see a lot of Avalanches around my area.

[cdsmorron32]

I see avalanches on just about every street around here but nobody waves and none of them have the club sticker. I believe it is tagging time!  We need more members in Southern California and more GTGs

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

We will have our ambers in chula vista the 2nd weekend of the month.

[cdsmorron32]

I want ambers but wasn't sure if they are legal in California. Are they?

[RENORCR]

I want ambers but wasn't sure if they are legal in California. Are they?

Ambers are Legal.

[AVYinSoCal]

Welcome AVYinSoCal! I see you are new member 

Thanks for the welcome.

Ambers are Legal.

That will probably be my next mod, either that or the "Xtreme" LED tailgate light bar.

Hey there girl, how are you and your sister doing??

[cdsmorron32]

Ambers are Legal.

I am getting ambers then! what about the sail panel lights?

[cdsmorron32]

Hey there girl, how are you and your sister doing??

We are great thanks for asking! How are you and your family? I am finally a supporting member!!!  Heading to the camping gtg in utah during august will you, your husband, and puppy be going?

[1Fastrider]

Huntington Beach here

[Sunburst 2500]

Rancho Cucamonga here.

[RENORCR]

Sail Panel Lights - I have not seen Amber. But members replace with Red.

[cdsmorron32]

Sail Panel Lights - I have not seen Amber. But members replace with Red.

Oh, I know they're red and I really want them but I was wondering if the sail panel lights are legal in California too.

[RENORCR]

Oh, I know they're red and I really want them but I was wondering if the sail panel lights are legal in California too.

I have not known someone to get in trouble over it. Plus I look at them like clearance light on a dually. Just on the back. Just stay away from colors that would attract problems. Also what colors where you place them will attract problems, too.

[PerfectReign]

I know the SoCal forum recently closed

The forum closed, eh? I just noticed. I don't often go to the site. 

Bummer!

I just tagged a few avalanches in my neighborhood (Diamond Bar) this week while walking the dog. I'd printed the flyers and then gave them to avalanche owners.

[Domer]

New San Diego owner here. Had mine for about a month or so. mostly in the south san diego area.

[AVYinSoCal]

  Domer. I am originally from SDC.

[1Fastrider]

My local PD tickets for dang near everylittlething and I've frequently had them behind me with no problems.  I would guess they just fall under the brake light category.  As long as you don't have aux/white backup lights on while driving you're good.

Thanks! Now I have 2 mods to do this weekend. hehe!

[ernie57]

Where in Ontario do you work?

Sorry I didn't get back to you I work at Biagi Bros. Trucking and I'm gone all week and only get on the computer on the weekends.

[Domer]

32nd st. naval base. My shop is in Barrio Logan off of national ave.

[AVYinSoCal]

32nd st. naval base. My shop is in Barrio Logan off of national ave.

I know that area pretty well.
I went to Memorial Jr. High School (now Memorial Academy) in Logan Heights (now Barrio Logan).

[RisingPhoenix]

32nd st. naval base. My shop is in Barrio Logan off of national ave.

I have to say I don't get to that area very often. I stay coastal mostly. What kind of shop??

[Domer]

Personal shop, i live there, slash, building my mini truck there.
RisingPhoenix, that is coastal. i am about a mile from the waterfront.

I guess I thought that was more inland.

mini truck huh? My husband does fab work on Tacomas and makes custom parts. What ya got? If you need a local fab guy my husband is defiantly someone to talk to. He has lowed several is SD.
But being you have your own shop you're probably set up.

[Domer]

Thanks for the offer, i do most of my own fabrication. Just out of curiosity what shop does he work for? Just curious if i know him or not. I have a 2000 Nissan Frontier also.

[RisingPhoenix]

He has his own business, Streetacos.

I can't see your profile pic too well, is that a custom bumper you made? We are going to make one for my Avy so I am looking for ideas.

[RoarinRow]

We usually go down to Socal once a year or so to visit friends and hook up with available AV members      Does that count?   

[Domer]

I haven't heard of his shop. I will have to ask my club guys. As for the bumper, no it is a stock 07.

Colton,CA drive to Moreno Valley Daily 

[Az-Spoiled-Wife]

We will keep our eyes out for all of your ambers in our travels. We will be at sweetwater park in Bonita this weekend for the Run Amuck's Flyby 2009 tournament. Its a fun flyball dog sport event. I guess last weekend was an agility event rohr park near by there. Nice weather for these types of events. About 30 degrees cooler right now then the valley of the sun.

[Inder]

Hey everyone. I'm fairly new to the forum, so I didn't even know there WAS a socal site. I'm in Santa Clarita, and I work in Universal City. I've never seen another pair of ambers and no one ever waves back out here in the valley. 

We definitely need some more GTGs so I can catch the mod bug

I think we can take care of this for you!  I want to do a drive out to Palomar Mountian very soon, perhaps July. I will keep you posted.

Yes we do! But I went to my first GTG a week and a half after I joined and that was it, I can't stop modding!

[gtellez67]

Sorry I didn't get back to you I work at Biagi Bros. Trucking and I'm gone all week and only get on the computer on the weekends.

Do you work by the airport? I work by Campus and Francis which is not that far maybe we can get together for lunch

[D-Loc]

Im in Upland, Ca.... club stickers huh?? ill be down to put one on my truck if it doesnt look like crap.

[gtellez67]

I was planning a GTG for Jume but with Fathers day kids getting out of school Grads and Fourth of July around the corner. Iwas thinking of
July 19 At Silverwood Lake http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=650 to take out some water toys What does every body think? Whom ever wants to bring water toys Boats or PWC needs to make reservations for boat launch ASAP becouse they do sell out. Let me know what you think?

[gtellez67]

There is alot of members in I.E. Montclair, Ontario, Upland, Rancho area I don't see any ambers though. Need to get those ambers on!! Theres alot of Avy's in this area don't know who the members are without those lights

[D-Loc]

Ambers?? Sorry as you can see I am newer to the club.

[Inder]

I'd be down for the lake GTG. I don't have any water toys, but I'll bring my grill! 

[Inder]

And D-Loc: Replace your stock DRLs (daytime running lights) with amber bulbs. That way other members know who you are.

Oh, and 

[D-Loc]

Ehh, Im not a big fan of that look... i wish I was so I could stand out but I like how it looks with the white bulbs... looks cleaner, to me.

[GTO]

Ehh, Im not a big fan of that look... i wish I was so I could stand out but I like how it looks with the white bulbs... looks cleaner, to me.

I used to think the same way, actually thought "super white" would make it look even nicer.  But...... I tried the ambers and it does make it stand out from other avalanches(non-members), at least the silverstar ambers that are brighter, more orange-color and not bad after all. Plus it is cool because others can identify you and wave at you, even new poeple that you never met.  That is the whole point and it is rewarding.

[GTO]

By the way.........you might have probably seen my avalanche in southern cal. or will see. I grew up in southern cal and moved to phx in 05.  So wave when you see an 07 summitt white w/ 24" wheels, az plates and front GTO sticker where the front plate goes.

[ava327]

[ava327]

I dk, I keep thinking about it and I loved how my white silverado looked with clear bulbs and smoked out tail and headlights. Expecially beucase I had (and am installing) LED Halo projectors

Hey Everyone!! 

Sorry it's taken me so long to post. ChevyLightning and I arrived back in CA (San Diego) on SEP 22nd, but thanks to the Navy I've been out to sea every other week since then. I tried to make the SONIC GTG on the 18th but it didn't work out.

I've been trying to get back to SOCAL for years and am really glad to be back. I look forward to meeting you all at a GTG soon. I'm not deploying again until 2011 so let's have some fun!!
