    Ok guys its been awhile since I've been on here. With that being said, I'm taking my 2016 taco TRD on the Mojave Trail tomorrow starting at Baker and ending in Laughlin.

    Its going to be 6 vehicles total and everyone has 4x4 with good AT tires. We all have a large assortment of recovery gear. We're bringing plenty of food, water and and some adult beverages. Also we will have Ham radios, two SAT phones, and first aid kits.

    So if anyone can give me any additional input or advice about the trail or what to bring that would be great. Lastly, theres 5 guys in the group that has done it before. Thanks in advance.
