Mojave Road trip - March 2017

[Tom K]

Here is the Google Photos folder again for folks who want to upload images.

First of all, thanks to everyone who has added photos - the last time I checked, I think it was over 300!!!

I have a minor favor to ask for folks uploading: Please try to be selective (a bit) and especially try to avoid multiple shots that are very similar. With so many images, I don't want the folder growing so big that it's hard for folks to view!

In this light, I've kicked out a few images where we had dupes, and did the same edit on my own uploads. If you notice I've kicked an image you really wanted in there let me know and we'll figure it out.

Hey @Tom K thanks again for making the google drive thing, I've spent the last 15 minutes starring at all the pics from everyone else. We are about to upload ours, Marcia took a couple of hundred and so did I.

It was great meeting everyone, we had such a great time. The drive back home was definitely not as fun but equally rewarding after such a great weekend.

Note: I told a lot of people that I would follow their instagrams so i could tag them on pictures and what not, I am Pablo btw, the magnetic gray tacoma with the lights. Just hit me up on instagram and i will follow you back, its www.instagram.com/hound_trd

Yep, that was me :-) Both of us driving Rams are named Scott lol
I'm glad I could help out.

I'm about to get the grinder out to finish the job!

You wouldn't happen to have been recording or taking pictures of me in front of you going down the drop off would you?

@TacoZim I uploaded a video with a lot of rigs going down the dropoff. I missed the first few but got most I think. Check to see if I got you.

For those that did the water crossing, did anyone end up getting water inside the cab through the firewalls or seals? Not sure if my rig would have sprung a leak somewhere under the seat or not. I was one of the few that had to bug out early.

Matt

You would have been fine.

Wow! What a great trip!
Got home all right despite losing my Power Steering assist on Thursday due to a big rock. Then my under engine plastic splash guard got taken out at the water crossing. Next time I will have a lift, All Terrain tires, and skid plates.
Had lots of fun ferrying Baz around so he could take pictures, and boy did he ever. He most have taking several thousand. Can't wait to see the OB Video in a few weeks.

Thanks again to Dan Rich for putting this together, and for all those that helped make it great. And to Michael and Corrie, you're the best.

Fixed the power steering. That rock broke 6 wires going to the steering unit. See the photos.

That moment when Mr OB makes the wrong turn and you end up head on with OB0000...

Which drop off?

 

[TOMB]

I have to say, for my first time out with OB it couldn't have been any better. Great weather, great scenery, and absolutely the greatest people! Thanks Dan for putting it all together. Thank you everyone for making this newbie feel at home. A special thank you to Michael and Corrie for starting something that is bringing people together to share a common passion. The friendly, unselfish mindset of everyone I met on this trip started with you two. Bob, thank you for letting me help out. Again, thank you to everyone for making great memories that will last a lifetime.

Many great adventures to come! Thank you for joining us!

Amazing Trip. So Much Fun. Thanks Everyone.

 

[Lifes2short4BS]

So many new noises in the suspension.... re-torque and Lube.... definitely need new bumpstops...

 

[Ryan Matthes]

Well....that would explain the click click click on the whoops. The bright side is now that the pesky metal is out of the way, the clicking should go away :). Or grind it out a little further to clearance the steering box and hit it with some paint. Plus new bump stops.

Whoops... I didn't fully read that post... you were filming him trimming his fender.... We were filming him going down the drop off 'cause we were right behind them. Rachelle has that one on her phone. We'll get that on the google album tonight.

Well, I figured out why the rover was getting warm when I pushed it a bit hard...
