This fantastic trip was planned by @Adventure Endeavor
Thanks @Motiracer38 for the invite. I remapped Jesse’s route on Google Earth based on OnX maps during my 7 day free trial.
@Kellyex1450 & ODRMSE Roy arrived at my house at 6AM Friday just in time to catch me blaspheming our lord and savior whilst spraying starting fluid into the throttle body of my already-flooded Turboyota. It was 35 degrees F, and the little bitch didn’t want to start(I already told TunerAndrew I need to tweak and twerk the tune). I had gotten pissed off and continued cranking after I knew I was fucked. Because anger & aggression issues.
We double checked for spark and decided to pull start it. Kelly hooked up the (newly linked!!!) Tan Toyota sleeper with my SuperStrap and pulled me down my driveway. Three clutch dumps later she fired up. We decided on a radio channel that we all had programmed and pounded pavement towards 29 Palms & Joshua Tree.
Around Yucca valley, Roy radioed that he had a cam position sensor code and that the Canyonero was missing badly. We continued on with plans to buy a sensor in town as soon as the parts stores opened, but the tired chevy I5 developed a substantial oil leak and Roy turned around and headed home. The injured Canyonero heaved its last breath as Roy pulled safely back into his driveway in Redlands
Kelly and I topped off fuel in 29 Palms and met @Motiracer38 , @Adventure Endeavor , Vince, and Jesse’s brother Larry at their campsite.
Vehicles:
Jesse’s D44 TTB LS swapped Jeep Grand Waggoner built at @the_fablab_
Vince’s 2018 Raptor
Larry’s 3rd Gen 4Runner with 2.5” foxes, Upper Arm & OME coils
@Motiracer38 ‘s Lexus V8 swapped & linked Toyota pickup
@Kellyex1450 ‘s Linked sleeper Toyota with under-bed Fox coilovers and Light Racing Jounce shocks. Kelly is 6’6” and somehow shoehorns himself into that toyota with hard shell seats and a cage. Fucking champion. Also, it’s nice to have someone taller than Beaumont…
And my Turboyota
Planned Route:
From Joshua Tree/29 Palms, we headed Northeast through the Sheephole Valley wilderness. Trail was fast, soft & sandy and had miles of fun rollers.
After a quick detour through some farms that aren’t shown on Google Earth, we hit the railroad tracks in Cadiz. We followed the tracks to Danby Rd where there is a cool abandoned old ore-processing facility.
My son Michael(AccidentSon) looking for Kelly. Somehow that fucker got around us??? One of life’s mysteries…
We crossed the tracks at Essex and Jumped on a very lightly traveled Telephone Line Rd. Some of us loved it, others did not.
We crossed Interstate 40 and got fuel in Fenner. The most I’ve paid for gas in my entire life -- $6.90/gal -- Nice. No fucks given, let’s enjoy more dirt!!
