Yep....Thats John's shop. He has done quite a bit of work on my rig...ARB's and gear sets in both axles along with my engine build-up. I was actually over there Friday for a transmission service. He may not be a large nationally known 4x4 shop but he does great work and can be trusted.

I actually work in Riverside and live in La Verne. Seeing that I am re-grouping as far as wheeling buddies (some of my rockcrawler friends fall into the *former friends* category as they did not take kindly to my change of direction), I need to find some local overlanders to run the trails with and specifically, I need to find another vehicle or 2 to run the Mojave Rd with in late October...have any upcoming plans

Well there are a few of us around here in your general area for sure. A few of us have ran Mojave road too. We'll have to get with each other via PM and figure out when to hook up. Glad to see you use John, he has always treated our family right. Im happy to see him doing well... always was bummed when he left Orange County.

If it's an open invite to Mojave Road I might be able to swing out from Vegas.. If not, no worries. Couldn't find Mojave Road on google maps really quickly, either.

Variety is the spice of life, so glad to see you are trying something different. Beautiful combo with the Adventure Trailer!

Here is a little more inspiration for your Mojave trip. We ran it from Afton to Primm (reverse of your route).

great setup. don't know if you remember, but your old 4" procomp springs are still running very well on my jeep.

i too am looking to do more expo/camping type stuff with the wife and 2 kids under 8, and found this site recently. just purchased some 33x10.5 bfg mud terrains of all things LOL. and i have a pretty stock 416 trailer waiting for better mods.

looking forward to your trip reports, as they've been top notch.

Ha, small world! We'll have to meet sometime in the Atrium for a bite of lunch!

 

[robert j. yates]

It is a small world...one of my best wheeling buddies has a Defender as well along with a Series III Rover. He is in fact considering his trailer options and I keep trying to convince him to talk to Mario.

Ping me via PM and we can do lunch whenyou have some time. My schedule is usually pretty flexible.

Well at least you have good taste in friends Don't think you'll have a hard time convincing him of an AT when he sees yours! Tell him it is a great place to carry all the spare parts and fluids for his Rovers!

PM'd you for lunch next week.
