Very nice alum work on the shroud....I like this build and since I am also in Phx and also run old iron (70 burb) it would be way cool to stop by your shop sometime.
Looking forward to the trip reports from the owner once the build is done.
I have now added your blog to my bookmarks of great trip reports to return to time & again.
Your positive attitude flows through your writing and I commend you on the sense of adventure you are maintaining.
Also your plan for dealing with the police is perfect :)
Please Please keep posting here...
congrats on the sweet axle and cool of Nick to pass on the find...he is handy that way :)
Looking forward to some trail time again Larry no matter what axle or rig you are running!
as a moderator I would like to say that Sierra 4x4 deleted the thread as they were the ones that started it.
We had a poll a ways back where the community choose to make it so that the OP of a thread could delete the entire thing.
personally I wish a person could only delete their post not a...
Excellent post and history , thanks.
On the Horizons Unlimited board I have heard of Howling Moon for a long time and often wondered why it didn't get more attention in the US.
Also on the Ozzie boards it is well know so I hope you get more respect here.
I do know the US market is very young...
Looks like a great time and the dog even looks like he enjoyed Baja.
Personally I am ok with including locations if it get more US folks to realize that Baja is safe and the people are actually wonderful. Regardless of the all the media hype I love Baja and am always sad to drive north.
double cab tacoma
suburban
4dr trooper/montero (might be a bit small)
My first pick would be the tacoma for the fuel mileage and the bed to carry stuff.
Kids can make for a great time in the backcountry as long as you have some bikes for them, some outdoor play toys and take it slow so they get...
I love the Meth Lab get together comment...
and I agree complete on the hate for Hole in the Rock trails & washboard in general.
One thing that will really help in the future is to air down for washboard, it really helps....and of course for sand & rocks also :)
Looks like a great trip and I am jealous of the 2 month timeframe.
Excellent job getting the kids into the outdoors and putting a lifelong sense of adventure in them.
By the way that is a serious load of wgt on the roof rack from all the gas & water. Did you need 4 fuel cans? Looking forward to...
Great to have another bit of Old Iron running around the phoenix area....now lets get you out on the trail and camping with that rig.
Todd has his Bronco, Nick-Nobin & I are running early 70's Suburbans and I know we can find some other fun old iron to join us for a weekend once the temps drop a...
Always great to see kids out on these treks as that makes memories for them to share much later in life. Not to mention it brings history lessons alive to actually travel to the places they talk about in school.
Looks like a good group of people out enjoying the backcountry.
thanks for posting...
Great looking old Bronco there Rich.
Thanks for posting and I look forward to hearing about more of your outings. Feel free to post more pics here (as many of us can't hit other sites from work) and especially more of your thoughts while traveling. I love the desert and it is always cool to hear...
This is a really fun read and some great pics.
I like your story telling style and the pics of the Mrs are a hoot.
Looking forward to the rest of the story.
Wow this trip report is even better now that I know the logistics that went into it...and to think you guys did it purely for the fun of it. Very cool to see that epic adventures can happen without sponsorship or media attention...reminds me that we are here to enjoy the outdoors first and...
your pics are really great and I like the commentary you add.
Of course the bits about missing your spoon were funny but the tomato bit & the tin lid were over the top...thanks for that.
Please keep posting your report, it just what I would like to be doing instead of working away :)
I love the toothpaste pic...that is the kind of stuff that you rarely hear about or get to see pics of.
Any pics of the day to day life of traveling?
Thoughts on what it is like to have so many rigs trying to fuel up/stop/eat/cross borders together?
Great write up and excellent pics...
Looks like a fun bunch of people and you hit all the best trails in the area.
Thanks for posting this and reminding the rest of us to get out there and play.
