How many Northern California folks do we have here?

I would like to help and participate in a greater sacto area TLCA chapter.

Home - TLCA

The TLCA community is a rich and vibrant one that brings people together through a shared passion for Toyota 4×4 vehicles.

tlca.org

I have been a member for about 6 months.
The two so called NorCal chapters are poorly run and not responsive.
Also very not local to the greater Sacto areas.
No agenda, maybe a monthly or every other month get together, venue TBD.
Next month is the annual TLCA Rubithon. My only interest is to attend the vendors area. way too family gang plan for me.
Maybe that is the first meet and greet??

Rubithon - TLCA

37th Annual Event Hosted by: The Toyota Land Cruiser Association Rubithon is an annual gathering for Toyota 4×4 vehicle owners,

tlca.org

Possible club trip agendas to discuss:
Gold mining site visits
Sierra fishing trips
Sierra cabin over nights
Astronomy trips
Modifications, what and how to.
Equipment demos, inverter cooking demo with induction cooking devices
Maybe invite shops to present their cabilites.
Other,,,

Personably i have no interest in Glamping or Over camping, for others knock yourselves out, i/ we do understand.
I am sure any group that might come together could support any desired trips and adventures.
If there is interest, we should get a private email string and then establish a group and list it here as well as register with TLCA.
Thx.
A- 51

Went for the online membership option.

Winch will need to be wired directly to the battery. The factory 12v front point isn’t rated to handle a winch at full draw. What they did for me was run power wire from the back and made another positive terminal in the engine bay, which the winch is a then connected to. I’ll try to get a picture for you when I can.

Were you able to get a picture of the "positive terminal" in the engine bay? I'm contemplating this project and looking for ideas.

Also, where did they ground the winch? All the way back to the battery or somewhere else?

Thanks!

Winch is grounded to the vehicle’s body though a factory ground point iirc
