    If anybody is interested, I will be doing a Mojave Road trip Thanksgiving weekend (22-25 November).

    ROUTE:
    The route is about 140 miles from Laughlin to Baker.

    WEATHER:
    Low 60's in the afternoon / High 30's at night
    30% chance of rain on Sat/Sun.

    STUFF TO BRING:
    - 4 days worth of food
    - Cold weather gear (30's at night)
    - 2-4 bundles of firewood
    - Spare Tire
    - Recovery gear (straps, shovels, treads)
    - Tools you need for your vehicle

    DIFFICULTY: Easy to mild. 4x4 required.
    Pretty easy with bypasses for any difficult spots. The only concern will be the water crossing at the end and if it rains in the dry lake bed. Plan to drive all the way up to the river crossing and if it is too deep there is a bypass to the highway. The mud at the lake bed can get very bad if it rains and could end the trip.

    ITINERARY: First day will be pretty scheduled to get everything sorted. Once we start the trail we will just plan where to camp based on our pace. There are 10 different options along the trail to camp.

    -22 Nov
    08:00 - Meet @ Bass Pro
    08:30 - Leave Bass Pro for Laughlin
    10:15 - Laughlin South Point Market gas station
    10:45 - Start at Mojave trailhead in Laughlin

    THINGS TO SEE:
    - Balancing Rock
    - Fort Piute
    - Piute Corral
    - Petroglyph Drawings
    - Penny Can Tree (Bring some pennies!)
    - Government Holes
    - Mojave Mailbox
    - Lava Tubes
    - Brannigan Mine
    - Traveler's Monument
    - Arbuckle Mine
    - Afton Station
    - Triangles

    Yeah, I'm not sure if anybody will be able to go with us due to the timing and only a weeks notice. Figured I'd throw it out there though. Might be doing it solo.

    I see guys driving around with Xmas lights n such in the bed of their trucks..

    Is that legal in Las Vegas? I added some, but now I'm worried. Looks good, but I keep hitting the switch when I see cops. Lol

    Not sure. I’ve seen a Jeep at work that has red and green lights on his front hoop of his bumper. Definitely not legal with the red lights at the front I assume.
    Unfortunately I already have plans. Looks like fun though, I’ve never been to one of those.

    I’ll be doing Reno-Vegas on the 26th and back on the 30th if anyone needs a TW express. Driving wife’s CRV so keep that in mind for space.

    Any recommendations for a good, reputable, and competitively priced shop in Vegas to get a 2”-3” suspension lift. Preferably one that deals in Tacoma’s?

    Really the only local shop that I can think of off the top of my head is Rouge Offroad. They almost exclusively work on Toyotas.
