Mojave run 9-15-11 Lots of pics

Good lookin bunch of trucks i love the black engage trick that thing is clean and all I can say is damn fords lol

 

Nice pics Johnnie, wish I could have stayed Sunday for powerline rd.

 

I lead the beginning of Power Line Rd. and Matt took over. I told him to be careful because this road can be dangerous. He quickly found out how sneaky Power Line Rd. can be doing 60 mph through rocks and washes.

 

Will, Getting my tire tomorrow. Thanks again bro you are a life saver! Great Pics guys! next time I will be better prepared and maybe even with the rear suspension done?! I clogged the shit out of the local car wash cutting all the mud off my truck! What a fun trip next time I hope I can make it for the full duration.

 

Matt had an OOHHHH S@*t moment..?

 

yup. he had to pull over and check his truck.

 

I was on a 2nd may trip and remember it like it was yesterday. Love that everyone still gets stuck in that sand section at the beginning. Power line road is a great time at 60-70mph and blowing sideways in my light truck. I'll try to do the april/may one in 2012. Had too many bills plus you guys were maxed out on a full sized group. Til this spring.

 

I bet you guys had a blast... freakin awesome pics..I mean really awesome... I have read a little about the mojave, but now I wanna do this...have family coming down from South Affrica next year July and I would really like for them to see how the Tacoma performs compared to the Hilux ...love the Tacoma, but it does not compare to the Hilux... Driven diesel hilux's all my life and they are work horses like you wouldn't believe... Driven them in Sudan as part of the African Union peace keeping force as well through the deserts and never had a problem.... just love the pics guys...envious..I wanna do this next year

 

No kidding, huh, James? I didn't expect it to be THAT cool. It was probably my favorite road out there; Just so much to it!

Hahaha Matt and I took about two hours per truck yesterday. I thought mine was bad but Matt's truck recreated the Mojave desert right before our eyes We ended up using a cutting wheel to remove the thicker stuff (just kiddin )

But all was fine

O and I'll be getting Martha's pics up soon. Just gotta sort through them. Martha ended up snapping over 600 pics that weekend so I of course I can't throw all of them up.

 

Yes i sure did! We were doing like 65MPH when a washout came out of nowhere and we were like oh S*@T. It wasnt as big as the one you hit, but it was exactly the same looking. Wow I couldnt believe we just hit that S@%T, was the only thing going through my mind at that moment. After checking the truck over, everything seemed to be intact and nothing was bent, so we went on.

 

That military base was a trip!

600?!! DAMN!

 

I have no complaints as to how my truck performed out there. It was doing a great job with everything that was being thrown at it. Didnt get stuck this year Yay for that! Got back to onto pavement and it was tracking just fine. Alignment is still good. Cant believe the abuse these trucks take and just keep giving back.

 

Yeah that place sure was of the beatn path. very quiet out there for a base. I just pm'ed you my info. Was a great time and it was nice to meet you brother.

 

that looks like a lot of fun...count me in next year

 

Next one is in march sometime near the end of the month

 

Awsome.... Johnny always leads powerline. crazy dust wont let you see anything. lol

 

YEAH. its shitty!

 

I know, and for some reason he said you can take the front if you want. So i went for it. All I have to say is, "FRICKEN AWESOME"!

 

power line rd. is sneaky and its always different. its almost impossible to judge the road in front of you if youre going fast. glad you guys enjoyed it.
