Official Mojave run May 3, 4 & 5

How much easier can you take it? You're always in the back!

 

I like being back here hahahah . I notice that all the mojave runs I've been on the first one was the only one that I didn't brake anything hahah.

 

Limit strap?

 

limit strap was on the run with you too but the last one I broke the metal tube that connects the brake line to your calipers.

 

twice, right?

 

Yup.

 

did you find the part numbers for those? want to grab some spares

 

Yea I'll post up the part # tonight after work.

 

Never heard of that happening to anyone, what did you hit?

 

I think one of the clips holding the metal tube in place went bad, so it was hanging free and getting bent during articulation.

 

Yup I think I lost the clip to the right side and all the ups and down bent the part connected to the caliper and rip it. Right when it happen I was ooo $hit lost my brakes. Good thing the second time it happen wasn't during the power line Rd hill climb. I got new clips and replaced new tube again two days ago just in case.

 

It happen to Vi before, good thing he was there for that run and had the correct size bolt to screw into the steel brake line to stop the fluid from leaking. Had to drive all the way into vegas w/o brakes, running E brake the whole time with the fam in the truck to get the new tube... so sketchy. I was glad little brother went he drove in front of me just in case i couldn't stop on time lol.

 

Well bring that bolt just in case lol

 

I have like 4 of those tube in the truck now haah just in case.

 

Good thing the first time it happened we just left camp in the slow whoop section and I'm glad we weren't going up hill the second time.

 

X2 I would of shit myself if we were on the hill.

Part # for the tube is PA 308 it's a straight tube that you have to bend yourself.

 

I thought I could get off work in time but I can't make that 4 p.m. timeline in Barstow. I will keep my eyes open for that Mojave Trail run you guys want to do in September.

 

FixedTRD is going to meet us at camp Saturday morning. Maybe you can meet up with him.

Let us know, if not, I'll remove you from the list.

 

The Saturday and Sunday sight seeing spots are set. I'll post them later if I have time since we're down to the last minute. There are a few new spots for the veterans with some roads we've never been on before.
