At our last meeting in Anaheim I think we had around 18 or 20. Prior to that, the most we had was 5.
Once you get 25 posts, you will be able to set up a signature. Just click on user cp - edit signature. ( I think - I forget stuff real easy. If that does not get it, let me know and I'll find out for sure). Also, if you enable your private messaging (edit options) it will make it easier for you to contact me for any info you don't want to start a thread for.

I can only imagine how Tehachapi has grown!

Always nice to have acreage. The building is still there but the bowling alley is long gone. If you haven't been here since the 70's you wouldnt recognize now.

noobie intro

Hey Guys,

I have been on the FTE forum for a while, but decided to check out the So Cal Chapter. I dont actually OWN a ford, but my girlfriend drives a B3000 and i end up doing the maintenance, ect. So i signed up a while ago to get some info, ect. I own a 2002 Tacoma, & a 1988 Honda CRX ( See Sig)

I do a bit of everything, i love to wheel my truck, camping, mtn biking, kayaking, shooting, drinking beer , talk trucks/Cars, ect.

I am not so much of a brand loyalist, as i think every vehicle has its advantages and disadvantages

Thanks,

Matt aka 02Taco

Welcome to the chapter, Matt. A B2000 pretty much qualifies as a Ford. There is a forum for them here, so it must be.



You are the 150 th member of the Chapter

Hi guys/gals!

I will be leaving Australia in the not-to distant future (date unknown at this stage) to move to sunny So-Cal.

I will be living in LA, somewhere around El Segundo (where my work will be), I am yet to find out exactly where yet... I currently have a 2005 diesel Crew Cab Ranger... but it wont be coming with me, so I am in the market for a Ford Truck!

We currently offer no prizes for the attainment of numerical milestones by random circumstance. However all are encouraged to celebrate this event in a manner that they see as fit to the occasion.

I think I will eat some breakfast.
