Just a thought, since Goodrich is sponsoring the event, maybe someone in the marketing/communications department could give you some insight. They post stuff on line all the time and they might have a guru you could talk to if you contact them and explain what you are trying to accomplish.

* 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 want to say a HUGE thank you to BFGOODRICH!

I'm also so grateful for YOTATECH.COM !!!!


ANDDDDD, I specifically want to say thank you to the coordinator that is getting multiple vehicle sites together for this event;

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

*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! ...........

EDIT! ; I'm sorry to say that Richard @redeth005 will not be able to drive his truck in the event(3.0 issues), but they are going to allow him to still go and still keep the hotel and Jonnyboy, who was going to be my copilot, is not going to be driving his truck, and Richard and Faby will be cruising with us.

Congratulations Chef, tires look awesome and as usual Suzy Q is clean as a whistle! I know that you, Jonnyboy, Richard and Faby will be great representatives of YodaTech and more importantly ambassadors for off-road enthusiasts everywhere. Have a fun and safe trip and look forward to hearing/seeing all about it upon your return.

Congrats Mark, that's awesome! I like the looks of the 17's on the KO2's! They look sweet on SuzyQ!!! Sounds like it should be a exciting trip, couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy! Hope you, Richard, Faby, and Johnnyboy all have a fun and safe trip!!!

HOWEVER, when I upload Flipagram videos from my phone to Youtube, they SUCK, unless I click that every time.

Secondly, WHAT THEY HECK did they do to the "Select a thumbnail"????? DANG! lol..... Only offers me 3 RANDOM thumbnails of their choosing? TERRIBLY more complicated than the previous version.... There's a reason that 10 Million Followers Brit Girl did that video, "screw YOU, GOOGLE!" ..... Because it TOTALLY screwed up her page! i KNOW I'm ranting, and I'm sorry, but I'm trying to make something nice for the upcoming Rocks to Riches Trip, Sponsored by BF Goodrich, and I don't want it to look like CRAP! is that so wronnnng? hehehe.

Here is the video, please let me know asap, as this is only a portion, a small one, of the write up I will be posting to promote the trip. ANY HELP with the issues I'm having will be greatly appreciated!

Video looks great on mobile Galaxy S5
Great job on the truck. Love the undercarrage lighting. Wish i was closer to trail ride with you. I need to start posting update on my 86 runner. Its about 90% trail ready. Anyone in Phoenix?

That's me Dropzone. I was going to be Mark's passenger after his first had to back out, but Redeth's rig developed some issues and he convinced Nolan to let me take his place for the trip, since I was already going to be there.
