Mojave Road

Sounds good!

 

If the boat man is going, I want to go. Think we can keep up with the SC'ed LT guys?

 

We'll be going at a normal pace at times.lol. Think our friend is bringing a GX460.

 

off topic... I am sitting here in my kitchen having my morning coffee looking out in the back yard. my pool is not heated but steam is gently rising out of the pool...

 

Let’s find out!

 

Install a crows nest on top of the truck so someone can keep an eye on them

 

Gonna make me flash my go fast Friday hardware…

 

I'll be sure to program the chase lights to signal in morse code for our locations

 

Copy that... I spent about 22 years in Vegas and lived at the very southeast end of Henderson; I miss the Coffee Cup, Chilly Jillyz and Johnny Macs

 

Haha last thing I would guess would be these places being brought up here lol

 

The Coffee Cup is world famous after all

 

That is quite true, sir

 

The plan is still happening. Dates are 12/13-12/15. I'll send more info on meeting time and location once we have it dialed. We will start in Laughlin the morning of 12/13.

 

cool enjoy...How many trucks will be traveling

 

So far myself and the old mans rig. Maybe 2 from the forum here and another 2 from socal

 

Enjoy! Can’t make the weekday events. Plus I’m literally gonna have no days off till Christmas. Can’t wait to see the photos.

 

Ok gang here we go.

We hit the Mojave road trail yesterday. Started from Laughlin and once we aired down it and went off it was about 8am. The weather was perfect no wind and luckily for us it rained a little the day before so literally minimal dust. Our original plan was to camp 2 nights depending on how far we made it each day. By the time we stopped for breakfast we looked to be behind schedule.

Then the hammer went down and on our next stop for lunch the parents said "we wonder if we could do this in one day". So I led the charge after lunch and we were smoking through areas making up time. The trail was clear but with some really heavy washboard sections. We hit those at first doing 20mph but it seemed much better at 35mph or faster if possible. The desert sand section had awesome burms and thats where we made up a ton of time. I saw 60+ and the parents weren't too far behind in their fully loaded rig. The whoops are massive def took those easier.

Snow was present in the upper elevations but not too much yet. The lake bed where the rock stack was very muddy so beware and stay in the dry lane. Afton canyon didnt have too much water but both water crossings were not as deep as many vids show. At least this time around so beware of that too. I've got tons of pics and vids I'll load up as I have time. Next stop is dropping the truck off in phx so I dont need to drive back and forth then baja second week of Jan!

Thanks for posting. Looks like you guys had a great time. Planning on doing the trip early spring with 2 other guys from work.

 

I’ve got some sunset footage of a quicker pace but I’ll have to upload later.

You’ll enjoy the run. Some spots you’ll need to be in 4x4

 

Looks good! Love the truck set-ups. Thanks for sharing brotha.

 

Thanks man! It’s a great time and to be able to do it with the fam makes it even better. Two different approaches with one goal to have fun.
