I hope we don't have a lot of dust. I think Jeshua told me it wasn't bad. And there's a paradox for me... I want to take pictures but then I also want to haul butt like nobody's business.
Perhaps Uphill or Jeshua should chime in here, but it's been discussed among us that this will be a pretty fast run. As more people join, the slower it gets unless everyone takes an oath of lead-footedness.

The dust on my run wasn't real bad but it had rained a couple days before hand. So I would expect dust.
As far as pictures theres always time for pictures, just point and shoot as your flying by at 65.
Pictures are part of this run so I would think Uphill would be ok with it slowing down for some.

on my run a month ago there was a couple flats so the possibility is high. the right size spare should be high on the list. call around to some shops and see if you can pick up a used one for cheap. I am sure you could find one in good shape.
thanks jeshua

i can see it now, Todd will grow impatient with our fuel conservative pace and he will be going nuts with his 400hp demon rig.
i highly doubt it will be going fast. i know i wont be fast, im not risking running out of gas out there
If I go it will be just on Saturday so you could use one of my gas tanks if you like.

Dominic I might just be asking you to tow me out of there because you had the good sense to leave your rig alone. Most of the Mojave trip I'll be hoping that my little rig holds together.. the grass is always greener!

hahaha.
looking at the pics of your rig and the job demello did i doubt you will have any problems.
but i gotta say you owe us all a ride when we get there for making us suffer watching your build!!
I'm up for speed and lots o' pics, we can run ahead of the group wait for the dust to clear and snap away!! 130 miles offroad, if we all top off before the start we should all be fine on gas, no??
