* Here is the link to the Mohave Trail that we'll be traveling on, from Barstow, CA. to Las Vegas, NV. ....

MOHAVE TRAIL




(Mohave Trail, Barstow to Vegas, will be lots of fun as it is a very historical route, loaded with Historical Monuments and some pretty cool wheeling, along the way. )


*We will Camp, the night of the 15th of November, and then we will wake, get our breakfast on, and trek onward, toward Las Vegas, NV......



*BF Goodrich will be providing the food, drinks, swag bags, shirts, and upon completion of the trail, which will end on the Tarmac in Las Vegas, Nevada, they have provided a Party, as celebration of completion of the trail run... They will also be putting ALL of the event participants up, for the night, at the New York, New York Hotel and Casino!

**********************************

*I'm really excited that Myself, Chefyota4x4 and my buddy, Redeth005, will be attending this event, together! Such an honor to be asked to attend..... Much more so of a 'COOL' factor is the fact that my buddy will also be attending! I have invited JonnyBoy to be my Co-Pilot, and Richard will be taking his beautiful lady, Fabiola!



**********************************

Something else that just blew my mind, relating to this event.... I was chosen to demo the KO2 Tire! They sent me a set, to keep, but specifically to wear to the event! I have already had them installed, and I am VERY impressed, already, with the street manners and aggressive nature of the tread. I'll save the rest of my thoughts for the trail and the ride out to Barstow.... BUT, so far, I LOVE them!




Here is a video and a few pictures I've been taking, to show the tire on A TOYOTA! ...........

Sounds like you lucked out into one heck of a great time coming up. I have always liked BFG so that would seal the deal on me being a lifelong fan of those tires. They look great and have always performed well for what I need to do. Have a great time.

Hell yea brotha! That was a great quick right up and straight to the point packed with details! I can't wait to go next weekend! And exceptionally happy that I was also asked to come along on this site to represent yotatech.com too! Looks like all our hard work has finally paid off and we got some recognition from the big boys! Woot! My girl Faby is super anxious for this trip. And wow I had no idea Johnny was coming along. This'll make the trip even better!

hey brother, feel free to copy and paste whatever portion makes it easier for you, and then throw in your ownfeelings and everything. It was kind of a nightmare because I was having computer problems, but that's the least I can do, so I tried to make it fun. I'm very excited too, anxious as well... Just around the corner! lol.

I look forward to seeing you out there, but you'll have to come over sooner to get your stickers......

Yea I Justin told me if he could send them with yours. I told him it was fine because I would be seeing you that day too. I'm just gonna need to head to your place tomorrow so we can troubleshoot that cold start issue. Really hoping we can get that issue handled because I went from 15mpg to 10.2 mpg. And that is one hell of a drive to be wasting gas like that. But I'll save that issue for my build thread. I definitely don't want to start an off topic conversation here on this thread lol.

I will try to complete the trip toast and get everything up here as soon as possible. Hopefully, my buddies Redeth005 and Jonnyboy will drop their reports here as well. I've just been really overwhelmed lately, but I'm trying. I want that next post to count! Lol.
