Here's a writeup on welding with jumper cables. The writer suggests using two batteries in series. Now you are all experts.

Do you guys think it would be a bad idea to not have the gas tank skid for this trip?

that puts you further east. the 5 cuts from SD to downtown faster. Plus its less FWY's to take. Either one will work but since you guys in SD have the 15 and the5 really close off the 8 i would just take the 5 fwy. Your call.

Just for clarification, other then Vince and I is everyone coming up the 5 as a group? That would be boostamante, OceanJet, webdog, souske. There is also two others that havn't chimed in for a while: alboogie and knucklehead61. Are they coming and who are they caravaning with?
It adds about 8 miles and about 5 minutes going up through the IE as opposed to going up through downtown LA... but it allows me to avoid the 5 through downtown LA, which can be backed up any time of the day of night. I drive north a couple times a year, and I always go through the IE. I live about 1/2 mile from the 15.

I just checked the weather up there for the next 7 days. It's going to be in the low 80's during the day and low 50's at night. It will cool off a bit on Monday and Tuesday and get into the 40's at night. That is the warmest I have seen up there this year. Looks like it's going to be perfect weather.

if you wanna avoid the 5 i understand but at that time of day on sat its not gonna be busy. You could aslo take the 5 fwy to the 405 split in Irvine and that bypasses thedowntown area and meets up the 5 fwy again in near the 210 and 5 connection.
let me know.
Oh yes, Alboogie is coming. dont know about the other guy.
