Re: Mojave Road Expedition (report)

Great story with the voyage, Uphill.
Air2Air, whose FJC were you driving?

yes pleez Mr Uphill!! I not only love viewing pics of FJs in action, but also love the pictures of scenery and activites the FJ brings you to. Hopefully one day I'll have a rig capable of joining one of your runs!!
FJ DAVE did it in a COMPLETELY stock 2x4. You don't need a "built" FJ to do the Mojave Road. As you'll note, he encountered one rough spot in some sand but there was a LOT of deep sand and he ripped right through it. The stock FJ is a very capable machine. It's fun to mod them up, but never discount what a stock FJ can do.

Todd, how far were you able to jump Jason's FJ? More then 10 feet this time?

Re: Mojave Road Expedition (report)

repost from other thread so no one misses it.

I had a blast with you all on Saturday, some beautiful terrain and great people. I ran out of gas on the way home I new I shouldn't have given Todd my extra gas. Just joking Todd I got home fine took about 3 hrs so it wasn't to bad I almost fell a sleep while drive though.


Hope it went well today, I am wondering on how FJDave did in all the sand and water crossing.

Here are my pictures form Saturday, not much but they will do.
Picking up Mir at the 95


On the road to the first fort.


Emilie and Todd checking out the "whale"


checking out Indian Mount.


Todd's new home after his wife kicked him out


Uphill enjoying his time with his daughter


Setting up camp


Thanks for setting the run up Larry wish I had the time to stay over night and wheel on Sunday as well.

Re: Mojave Road Expedition (report)

Thanks for the kind words Larry.

But man I am wishing I could have stayed after see the pics from today and you guys did Odessa I love that trail. But kind of glad I missed the wind there isn't much worse then trying to sleep in a tent with 40-50 mph winds.

Glad you got through almost all of it with out any problems FJDave, plus it will be nice to have that base line of what can make the Mojave.

Josh, nice pics! That looks like a fantastic journey. How was the pace? I can't wait for others to post up.

btw, "whale"?
its a joke when I was leading the group to Indian Mnt. to show them the well and pictograph's I was questioned were I was taking them and I said over the CB to a "well & Indian graffiti site" well some one thought I said "whale" and it just went on form there.

Larry, changed your gas cans? What was wrong with the old setup?

The first trail carnage of the trip from (careless) backing up!
Awh, and we had the whole story worked out about the killer rock crawling we'd been doing and how the tail-light damage was from some gnarly, tight section...

I totally couldn't sleep in my tent and was up at like the crack of dawn due to the wind. Had to get everyone up and going... Lazy, sleepy bums...

Re: Mojave Road Expedition (report)

It if weren't for the fear of being lost, it might have been fun to go exploring at night.
