Official Mojave run May 3, 4 & 5

Is anyone stopping at the Arco in Fontana to meet up at the first stop?

blknightdoc, haven't heard from you. Are you still rollin' with us?

 

I'm gonna meet up with you guys at Outlet Center Dr.

 

Changing my rear diff now...

 

See you guys tomorrow at campsite.
Have fun and be safe on tonight run.

 

I'm meeting up in Barstow at Arco.

 

You guys running race or CB radio?

 

Did you get a new crush washer?
Mine leaked a bit because the old washer was used.

 

Yes sir! I reused the fill one, but replaced the drain one. I wasn't 100% sure which way the washer went, cause its not flat on both sides. I'm assuming the tapered end goes to the hole and the flat side goes to the outside?

 

At AMPM. Now I wait.

 

we'll see you at 3.

 

I've heard some stories

 

Thank you to every one that helped me. Made it home. Bad battery and alternator. Hope you all got to injoy the donated beer.

 

Glad you got it worked out and wasn't too serious!

I need to throw a big thank you out there as well .. Johnnie, Chris, Jim, Andy, Will, C-bass... thanks for being so quick to lend a hand when my A/C crapped out, and again when I shredded a tire when everyone just wanted to get to stateline and eat.

Oh yeah, and Matt for his smart ass remarks the whole time
It took me 2 hours on the drive home to figure out why my TPMS light was staying on....

 

Some carnage photos...

My bumper had been rubbing on an A/C condenser tube for who knows how long (haven't adjusted it since originally installed)
but it didn't fail until I had LT.. go figure

Photos are after we lowered the passenger side of the bumper as much as possible to see the damage:






And not even 20 minutes later one of my tires felt a little soft...




Also, Rex got held up by some soft sand.

 

Just arrived at Barstow. I will be making a new thread soon with lot s of pic.. David glad you got home safe. Mojave tends to get the best out of LT truck... Welcome to the club David.

 

so much fun, the damage was worth it. Just bummed I had to leave early.

 

It was a great trip. Thanks to Johnnie for organizing such a kick-ass trip. I'm tired as hell. And being that you are currently viewing the thread, Vi, we missed you and your truck not being there.

 

it was an awesome trip my friends and I had a great time and plan to go on these more often. This was a first for me and it was a great first time. I learned alot on this trip and know What I need to bring for next time.

It was a great first trip we are all tired and glad I didn't have to much damage done.

Only one broken rear shock by the end.

Can't wait for the next one

 

Rex, you need to get your buddies to pay for that shock. It broke because the extra weight. I think I saw sparks coming from your tailpipe scraping the floor. Your crew was super cool and friendly and you guys were ready to go this morning even though I thought you guys were protesting something with your tent city. I saw a few homeless people walking down the road because they heard of a new place to camp.

Seriously I hope you and your crew had a good time.
