    thats what i was trying to copy. Just got back from that Palomar divide rd but couldn't find it. I know its supposed to be by an RV park but the directions i found were pretty crappy, so i came home and did that fog light mod :D

    I've honestly never been to the desert. Only driven through it on my way to places. But i got a new years eve party to attend haha. But just in case i do decide i can go, how rough are the conditions? I'm on 4x2 so kinda limits my options.

    considering most desert wheelers are prerunners, your options are not limited out there...

    it can be rough out there, but if you know how to drive and practice self control not to go balls to the wall, you should be fine...

    just got a text... the team decided not to go...

    most desert heads run race radios or ham... they aren't running CBs...
