Mojave Run to support a local member in need of our prayers

Damn, wish somebody got video of me snatching him out. Lol had to do that three times with 3 different trucks last night, but what are friends for? Lol

 

Did anyone pre - run the route?

 

Ready to go. Just type in what frequency you want to be on.

 

I think there was confusion on what trail we were going to follow and we took a wrong turn from the beginning apparently.

 

Nope. I was given a trail to lead and we went down that trail 100%. The trail was pre-ran by 2wd prerunners who didnt have any trouble. We had one wrong turn in the beginning which I corrected within 20 feet.

 

Last night was EPIC. I loved it. I enjoyed meeting all of you and hope to do it again. Thanks for a great time. Cbassd I hope you enjoyed yourself get well brother.

 

The one I let you use is the baofeng mark-3 gt. I added a 40cm antenna to it.

The trail on page 2 was the whole thing we did last night. When everyone left cbassd, Proforce, socal roadie and I finished to the end.

 

Headed around a corner the plastic fender came loose and then the plastic fender wrapped around the passenger tire we literally had to pull it off the passenger side or the tire would'nt budge. When the tire caught the fender and wrapped it locked up the steering so the turn became wide and hit the embankment stopping on the top then rolling onto the side.

 

that happened to my brother a few weeks ago. the plastic liner came loose and wrapped his tire. it pulled his car 3 lanes to the right, into the dirt shoulder. He was lucky no one was in his way.

 

yeah it was a hell of a ride I thought something had majorly failed like my steering was just trying to kill us. Im just glad no one was hurt, it was on a registered road, everyone was so kind to help us get outa of the desert with a special thanks to Aaron and Jen for Triple A, also the Traveler and everyone sticking with us till we got to the highway I wish more people banded together like we do.

 

thanks for the response! is that the case with most handhelds?

 

No

 

from what i understand, the bigger brand names are not open and need to be modified to broadcast across all frequencies in that band...

these Baofengs come open

 

Here's how my night ended. Gave my one 200 mile AAA tow to TripleThreat so he can get home, then 10 miles after I finally leave to go home, I break down on the I-15. The 6 bolts on my inner CV apparently all came loose and fell apart when I was going 70 MPH. I was lucky nothing was seriously damaged and I can fix it at home. However, I was broke 140 miles from home without a 200 mile tow, so I used a 100 miles tow to get to the McDonalds at Sierra Ave, and used one of Jen's 100 mile tows to get home.

I broke at 3:30 AM by Field exit off the I-15. I finally got home at around 10 AM.

 

Should have giving me a call.. I got your back with AAA or with my trailer

 

it was 3:30 AM lol wasnt gonna try wake anyone up, but good to know you have a trailer next time I break down at decent time

 

^ I would have towed you with the Fj!

Maybe we should buy a trailer and store it somewhere by the 15/60

 

I needed a flat bed. My CV axle was just flopping around.

 

The Chinese radios usually come open. Or require a software update to be open.
