Long Travel BS Thread

just found out my 07 has the shitty older motor mounts...lame.

 

Got my heim uppers in today, the added caster built into these makes a world of a difference. I no longer have neg. camber im almost positive now, I haven't even adjusted the cams either. Some voodoo shits going on hahah idk how the added caster helped out my camber? My toe on the passenger side is a bit off now as well, going to adjust it tomorrow.

 

for the guys who have the desert in there backyard and since ive never been, where would you suggest going first?

 

Picked the wrong time of year to make your 1st trip

Barstow is probably the closest to you right?

 

hahaha that is true. end of august is even hotter huh?


but im not to worried about distance more or less something thats fun for a first time out. i wasnt really thinking of barstow as a first trip though. haha.

 

The average high in July out in Ocotillo is 107, it 104 towards the end of August.

For a 1st trip or 100th trip out I love it. We go out and around Ocotillo, Plaster City and Superstition all the time. If you wanted to plan a trip down we can show you around.

 

well thats still pretty damn hot hahaha.


reason why im asking is i got a buddy who was willing to pitch in gas for the trip so i think him and i are planning on taking a week off from work before school starts and go hit some desert for a few days. i was told the road from plaster city to ocotillo is pretty fun. i mainly wanna go with people who know the terrain ideally.

 

Yeah its fun. Start in Plaster City by the Plaster plant, the drive to Ocotillo is around 45 to an hour or 30 minutes to Superstition.

Make a plan to come out this fall, once desert season opens up!

We still go out during the summer, but mostly for night runs.

 

ahhhhh long runs, thats what im looking for!!

i think im going to try and come down in november as well now that im not doing any sports finally. most likely glamis for thanksgiving.

maybe we could set up an afternoon into the night run kinda of thing?

 

Absolutely, give me a heads up and we can organize a run. I'm sure we could talk RJ and Krish into coming down again.

 

yeah man! i already talked to them both about it so they know im coming down, its just a matter of time and not having work.

 

lets do itt!!!!! do the classic plaster/super/ocotillo run we can play around everywhere!


measured my camber outta sheer boredom. Gunna eff around with the cams in the morning and see if I can get the drivers side to match my passenger side. Gunna go ahead and set the toe as well.

im currently at
-2.4* driver
-.5 passenger

 

Do it in the morning before it gets to hot!

 

im game

 

ocotillo........I am down.

 

ill let you know when it gets closer. im sure shawn and a few other might want to join as well.

 

Drop me a message on this also!

 

cool dude thanks.

 

shit im down as well. Its been a while.

 

I agree with Matt on this one, ocotillo is a playground for our trucks. You definitely need to go out there blang.
