erinw.rrc Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Dune driving always scares the crap out of me. It was the thing I hated most about practicing for the Rebelle Rally. Lutz and Brenton were good teachers but I still don't like it... LOL. Edited October 5, 2022 by erinw.rrc PaulD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like I (Oliver)will be taking the LR3 down and my dad will be taking down the LR4 with hopefully my sister(s) as well! If anyone is in the Merced/Modesto/Fresno area I will likely leave that Friday and would be up for a convoy heading down.

Tyler Mattson Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 we just put in for our reservation so i hope i did it right. that being said we may be trailering down Friday and stopping at scullys to drop off on axle if he's around that day, so is there a place to store a truck and trailer near by or would someone mind letting me leave it in a driveway for the weekend?

ColinB Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi everyone. I am coming down but I was going to drop off a hot tub at my sisters in bend but it did not work out over thanksgiving and I will have a hot tub in the back of my truck. It runs on a standard 110 outlet. Does anyone have a generator thats kinda quiet my guess is its a 20 amp 120 v plug. It would be sick to have a hot tub on the beach. If not not big deal. jcb, LR4HD, Mr.BlueSky and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elherbinator Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Just a heads up, those pretty much take all day to heat up. They have small heating elements meant to mostly maintain hot rather than heat up cold water. So start the generator early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
