PaulD Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Had some peeps ask me what to expect on this run. Here is a very mild example of what to expect. Easy-peazy...! I know there are many more somewhat different sections (rocky hill climbs, deep sandy washes, cobbly crossings, etc.) but... nothing that the current list of trucks can't handle --) --Paul 20210109_105639.mp4 Mr.BlueSky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulD Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Here is a sequence from 5 years ago running SW from the area near Fort Piute to the Leiser-Ray mine. This was part of the joint NCLR/AZLRO Mojave Road run. On our EMHT trip, we will be running in the opposite direction. As you can see, it's pretty much rustic whoops. Great scenery. --Paul 1153583613_ToCamp@Mine.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.BlueSky Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Just got word my passenger is flying into San Jose the Friday before the trip (8th) so looks like we can be part of a convoy if folks are interested. I'll post details up later for our trip plans to needles at least. Snowflake will be in the slow lane and in the even slower lane if I decide to bring the trailer. 🤣 CRYA and PaulD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mffoster Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Leigh Anne and I are set in a little cabin thing at the KOA in Needles for Sat night. Looks like a 9-10 hr drive down from Reno, so we should be there by around dinner time.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Mr.BlueSky and PaulD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLOHybrid Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) How many Range Rover Classics are attending? I spent 8 hours making a mount and installing my ARB dual compressor & locker valves this weekend and still the switches are not hooked up😐 Edited March 21, 2022 by SLOHybrid PaulD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRYA Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Less than 3 weeks out and trying to prioritize projects. Do I need a few jerry cans mounted on board? With stops in towns Tuesday and Thursday, I'm leaning towards putting them in the "nice to have" category and not the "must have". Am I wrong? I have the cans, just would need to get them rack mounted. I recognize the question fully reveals my noobiness and the gear list does say to bring extra fuel so...Ok.

I am just carrying 1 5 gallon Gerry can and that should be fine and I get 10-12mpg.. we are & will all be friends here so someone can always offer up spare fuel or tools if something goes wrong .. it is not The "grand Tour"🙂 Mr.BlueSky and CRYA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stashed mine in the passenger rear quarter and used a left-over air suspension reservoir from a LWB. You still have two weekends to figure it out ;). !
