Annual Spring Mojave Run May 4-6, 2012

No issues with camping other than we have to park 3 trucks per sight. @ lembowski. D-rings are the answer. We have six d-rings in our bed. Then we cris cross the straps. It does well. Preferably rachet straps. They hold better

 

I just packed everything against the front of the bed and use a ratchet strap. I've never had anything fly out.

 

I have 4 D-rings to install in addition to the 2 stock, 4 ratcheting straps, a net. Gotta get my "Y" strap for my spare sometime this week to.

 

Yes, this is a big ass group. I'm pretty sure there will be enough camping spots for all of our trucks. Plus if Hole in the wall is full we can split the group and some of us can head to Mid Hills campground. It's important that we get to camp around 3pm so we can get enough spots. We have to assume trail repairs and other situations which will delay time in the desert so it's important we don't delay on the way to the desert.

I would like the group leaving on Friday to leave Barstow at 7am. It's about a 2 hour drive to Laughlin from Barstow. Assuming everyone is in Laughlin by 9am or so, we should head out by 10am. Since we have such a large group it's important everyone is on time, gas up quickly and head out from Barstow. The group in Laughlin will be ready to leave when the others arrive in Laughlin.

Got a room at the Avi! Just gotta confirm the time off which the company owes me tons anyway. Should be golden. Now to stock up on the recovery gear I've been putting off...

 

I just picked up a handheld Icom V80 with rechargeable battery..

Which D-rings? I went to Harbor Freight Saturday and couldn't find any..

 

I used something like this for the last Mojave run still working good.

Its just a example I think I used a bigger size with washer.
Hooked it up to the 2 drain holes towards the front of the bed area.

 

Go to home depot. They have all kinds of d-rings.

 

Go to Home Depot, Buy these:



See me and I will set you up with these:



Good backing support for the composite beds, better than cheapo washers.
