2nd Annual TW glamis trip az prep

got my rack in today woot woot. and convinced jamie to go. i think ill be headed out with you guys on fridAY at 2

 

Idk if I should head out on Friday after work at 6pm or early Saturday morning. Either way I'll probably be rolling alone .

 

Hey guys, since this would be my first time on the dunes what do you recommend I bring with? Main things I will need? I sort of have an idea but just want some more info and advice thanks guys.

 

i would also like to know some things.

ALSO UPDATED OP

 

I'm thinking bringing a small shovel. Tiny air pump and carpet. Straps and hooks... tow straps. Water and extra 5 gal container of fuel. That's what I'm bringing. hmmm

 

i would head out friday after work. that way you dont spend daylight driving on saturday when you could be getting sand time!!

This ^^ shovel, carpet, pump, hooks, water, some extra gas, tools, to be honest thats pretty close to it truck wise.

 

That's true I've been leaning towards that. And thanks for the help man

 

np.
got the truck back from the shop with the rear lt done... now to finish my on-going issue with CV axles and get the rest of the truck buttoned up.

 

I have Thrsday off as well as Friday. If I drive there on Thursday I would like to meet up with you guys Friday if we could arrange that. I could meet you some where if you think you will be there at say 5:00 PM? I just don't know of any fuel stations or resturants near Glamis....

giot to be some other Phoenix guys headed to Glamis as well.

 

you have the glamis beach store, but dont rely on that. its very pricey.
there should be vendors to get stuff, but again dont rely on that.
bring everything with you.
where are you wanting to meet? you can just meet at the camp spot.

 

Is there one general camping spot? If so I can hang there Friday afternoon as you guys drive in. Just saying if I am out in the desert and you are as well we may never see each other. Anyway my truck is a Sage mice (dark green) Tacoma Access Cab with a bed mounted rack and RTT on it. Let me know what you will be driving (pulling a trailer?), and we can make it easy (easier at least!).

 

there isnt a general camping area, you can camp anywhere.

but the folks from TW will all be camping near gecko road.
check the main thread in the offroading and trails section to find where the exact camp spot is.

i will be rolling through glamis about 6pm on friday with a gray dodge long bed single cag, pulling a flat bed with my taco on it. you would not be able to miss me if you saw me.

 

I would like to meet you guys and all of us chill at a spot. Although since I'm leaving to glamis at 6pm on Friday I'll probably arrive at night. 9ish or so.

 

My truck is all stock. Silver in color and I guess the only thing that would make it stand out or know its me is a decal on the rear left.

 

Yes yes and more yes!!!! U Arizona guys round up the posse!!!!

2wd prerunners will be fine just listen to the above advice.
Besides there will b several 4x to help ya out. Leave no man or taco behind!!

We should have a good size group again this year! Our part of the Cali group will b there Friday morn-ish see u guys in the sand!!!

 

Mine is a 4x4. But yeah I will def help out if something happens. I got your backs guys!

 

Do we need some sort of permit to roll on the dunes?

 

you need a week camping pass, contact a local motorcycle store to obtain one.
you can get one from Eric (my dad) at san tan motorsports in queen creek
as long as your truck is street legal and registered thats all you need.

but if your like me i need to sticker my truck

 

They sell them all over the town just before u get to glamis. Don't remember the name of the town. We got ours from a gas station.

 

How much are they?
