    Yep. Torrance Auto Repair off Carson. I used to know the previous owner and helped out with some IT work for him years ago. One of the guys in the front office remembered me even though I haven't been around there for 6+ years so that was nice.

    Nice I like Johnson's alignment on 190th and Hawthorne but don't like the wait times.

    Dude, if your anxious to get her back together I’m more than happy lend a hand. I’m down that way in The LBC damn near every/every other weekend.

    Id like to run the Mojave Road. I don’t know how easy/difficult it is? All the stuff I’ve seen it doesn’t look like it would be too gnarly just fun and camping and some history...

    I never been on it either, but it looks to be easy enough for a stock 4x4.

    German tourists love trying it in rental minivans.

    Ive run it twice. Its pretty straight forward if you have decent navigational skills and/or the GPS route. Nothing difficult on the trail, just some soft sand.

    I remember reading that story about the missing German couple, they were never found if I remember right? Or they were found eventually, I can't remember.

    Mojave Road is doable for 2wd if they roll with 4x4's...we had a couple and only one of them had to be recovered once in the sand dunes toward the end of the trip. If the weather were to get bad though I could see it being a really tough trail real quick.

    True, I've gotten these from other dealership but it's usually a card in the mail. Mossy would probably take my truck and try to sell it for $20k again I bet.
