So Laughlin got some rain….

Anyways I’m 90% sure I might be missing this trip, but the 10% chance that I
sneak away means that I’ll still do a little prep, ball joints, diff oil and possibly
the transmission crossmember bushing., if it’s possible.

My friend ran it yesterday and said it was super green out there.
Have fun boys!

Double sided tape wasn’t going to cut it. 6mm bolts through the dash for the win. It’s basically a luxury pre-runner now.

Yes. I have a lot of faith my sketchy ways.

With that said I did some reorganization this weekend to the back of this ol sled. Turned out pretty organized and tidy.

Jack mounted, 2 spares, 2 x 4gal rotopax, and Cooler strapped down.

Weather looks kind of prime for this weekend -

Better check the overnight low for Caruther's canyon. Looking like 30deg for Friday night. Better bring plenty of firewood.

Last time we camped there it was like 22F at night…

Man, another good trip I'm going to miss! Still a lot of small projects I want to get knocked out on the new truck before I make a trek that far. Not sure what's on your itinerary but if you haven't (and you can) check out the desert toads cabin SE of Baker and the lake bed along the trail. It would make for a good over night destination. Be safe guys!

Changed trans oil and filter and made a solid trans mount. Spent way too much time tigging the removable portion, but it’s done and feels plenty beefy.

Tomorrow and Wednesday is rain all day. I’ll have to do a little wiring Thursday morning, pick up food, and then head out!

Do I spy a SEMA driveshaft?

This weekend’s Mohave trail had good weather and tacky ground. Raptor that Turner got last month crashed into 2 trees and Jack broke an axle so we put his truck on the back of Kyle’s truck to finish the trail. 180 miles each day and very nice out there right now!

You sure do. I need to regear the front diff and wanted to make sure I liked the 5.29s. Plus I need to redo the exhaust since the y pipe limits driveshaft droop

Pics of said 'we put his truck on the back of kyle's truck' or it didn't happen @Giant Geoff

Once you see that picture of how they pulled that truck back on the road you will be amazed
