Re: Mojave Road April 5-6 Report

Ok, I'll go first...

I was following Dominic. First mistake. Actually, I could probably stop there and await all the flaming!

A Joshua Tree (that I couldn't help referring to as Jeshua Trees!) reached right out and took my passenger side mirror from me! I swear, just the mirror, without leaving a scratch on the truck or mirror assembly.
I think I scared the heck out of Keith with that because he said it looked like the window could/would come crashing on on him.

Other than that, I came home with my truck living up to my screen name.

Larry deserves a huge thank you from everyone. He'll no doubt get it! It was just about as much fun as a group of people could have and not get arrested.

Re: Mojave Road April 5-6 Report

Great pics guys. More carnage then last time around it seems. Were you guys going faster? CV issues Scott? Looks like sway bar link broke loose and slashed the boot.

Re: Mojave Road April 5-6 Report

Awesome pics Dom. I so wish I could have been there with you guys racing around.


Scott what is this number 4 know? you need to stop trashing your CV boots. (Sean if you look at the pic you will see that the AP sway bar link broke/failed and then took out the CV from just hanging around from the upper mount.)


Mo gald you only lost a mirror and not a window or a huge pin strip. Jeshua trees are big and strong like me and will jack up a rig.


let see some more.

oh yeah we were going fast.. Josh wasn't here, so we had to take his place

Scott broke a link, tore up the CV boot. Then the second time around he messed up the camber, don't know what happened though. But they trail "fixed" it all and nursed it off the trail.

See what happens when you try to be like me Dom.
