Official Mojave run May 3, 4 & 5

Good run like always! Thank you Johnny for putting a great itinerary. It was good to see new and old faces - I'll post some pictures up soon when the new thread is made..

James, Chris (tostitos) and Vi - It sucks you guys couldn't make it out!

 

It sucks I couldn't make it. Can't wait to see the pics.

 

I'm too tired to write a full story but here's a summary.

Blacktacodoc was having minor electrical issues in Barstow but he assumed it was nothing major. We hit the dirt and 20 miles in we check his battery, 7 volts. 5 miles later his truck dies. We jumped his battery about 12 times till we reached Baker. He stayed in Baker and got repaired as we moved forward. we got to camp at 12:30am.

As David reported, he had A/C line break and blew the shit out of a tire. He left after state line Saturday night.

This morning at camp Jim noticed his bed a little loose. After about 15 miles his bed was really loose and the frame was cracked where the bump stop notches were cut out of the frame. Jim takes the highway home.

Saturday night we got puller over by a ranger that was chasing Matt. He thought we may have been racing cause Raptors have been racing a lot out there but he let us off with a warning cause we were over 7 trucks.

As well as I know that area, running out there at night is completely different and we were off route a few times.

 

Andy and Will didn't even bust out the good drinks because you weren't there.

 

Jim cracked his frame?! Shiiiiiit!. This is proof that when you beef up your truck that energy from a hit goes somewhere else.

 

Bummed I missed out guys, sounds like alot of issues this time around. Hopefully nothing too bad. I hope to get out on the next one and its looking good to be able to be home for it as well. Always a good time. I Guess I should have offered before but if anyone is ever too tired to make a trek home let me know, Im in apple valley.

 

I think this was going to happen wether I caged or not. This was wear and tear because I added two tires past the bed cage with no additional support. Then beat the hell out of it.

 

Glad you made it home safe.

 

Well I got home at 7:30 and was in bed an asleep by 8!

Great trip, good meeting the new guys and seeing the old faces.

 

Damn, I missed an epic run. I wanted to go on this so bad. There is always fall.

 

I need to save up for a trip like this. Looks fun, after seeing your frame I hope mine holds up.

 

This was the funnest offroading I have done since I have had my truck thanks again jonhnnie for setting up such an amazing trip, everyone on this trip that I met have some bad ass trucks and great personalities,, I will definately get some bumpstops for the next run ,,, I'm proud of my truck and I ran into no problems with it throughout the trip,,, sorry for the ones that did but at least everyone made it home safe I can't wait for the next one!!!!!
