Only question, what if I break something? Thats a long way from home! I would prefer just driving one vehicle instead of towing.
yeah you should tow if you can. i probly wont be able to but i have a house and carport for wrenching in utah really close to where we will be going so its not like we'll be stuck living out of our trucks lol
thatd be awesome if you could come.

Maybe I should tow my truck with my little 2wd. lol. I'll have to try it out though. I can't imagine towing a 3600lb truck with a 600lb dolly with my 2400lb 2wd Who knows, I might use my dads 89 F-250 w/ a 460. 8mpg yay!

wow I give you guys alot of credit toward your dedication to off road. If I had my truck when I was in college I would throw some monster ballon tires on it and crawl on and around lake havasu with some fender trim of course. maybe a boat would be better since i dont want to get any more rust from moisture. Sounds like a good trip though. Have fun

If I can get the money saved for the rest of my armor and get that stuff installed, and maybe a winch, I'll be there. I just won't be able to try anything too extreme since this is my only vehicle. I'm down for beer drinking around the campfire though.

Scuba,
How is the weather up there during that time frame? Should I pack for cold or just pack cold beer?

Bah, Never been there to tell you the truth...
Alex-Alranger, Used to live right around those parts...So I guess I'll let him chime in on that part..

My guess though, I think its going to be slightly cold ~~40ish at night...So the highs during the day would be 60???
Thats my best guess though..

You planning on making it out there...?

I'm doing my best to get the rock armor finished and the other locker installed so I can make it. Don't count me out yet.
