Would a long travel be able to run the route or does it get too narrow etc

riverroyal · Dec 27, 2018

DLC · Dec 27, 2018

Wife and I are planning on going!!

Do we have a time and a place to meet Saturday morning set up yet?

What do you think the mileage is?

I’m off Palo Verde North and the 95

riverroyal · Dec 27, 2018

185ez offered up his place to gather in the morning. 10:30? Not sure the milage 30 to 40? Coming back we can take the 95 route and get gas at pilot i think.
See what the masses have to say....

dezrtracer · Dec 27, 2018

Girlfriend and I are in ... With the days short I think we should leave by 10am latest ... Think there might be a beer stop or 10 involved ....

Offer still stands. Earlier is fine too. Whatever everyone feels more comfortable doing is ok with me.
I'm right off the 95 and Jacob Row.
The trail in front of the businesses sux.
I would suggest London Bridge rd to the 95 and come out by the airport.

satellitemike · Dec 27, 2018

So is Saturday still a go? And if so what would the ETA be at Topock?

hplavey · Dec 27, 2018

Oh nice I’m just south of you, I’m at park terrace ave and cabana

RiverDave · Dec 27, 2018

I say we just meet up at EZ’s place at around 9:45 and head out st 10:00 am. Or we can meet at Hangar 24 which ever is easiest.

I don’t have the route around the refuge but got a gps that shows the refuge so how hard could it be? Lol

I am assuming @ChasingPaper is riding with me. After I will have one possibly two extra seats in the ranger.

Thanks Dave!
It's on!
I'll be ready by 9am.
Grab a bite to eat and drink.
My treat to bring in the new year.
Stop on by.

Directions,
95 to Jacob Row and turn right on Dawn Dr.
Follow it down until you see the red F150 in the driveway

London Bridge Rd to Lake St and turn right on Kenneth and left on Dawn Dr

dezrtracer · Dec 27, 2018

At least we’re not taking the blame on this one.

We show up on time and then get lost. Way better than being late

Just did the mostly on road registration at Havasu MVD for our new Wildcat XX --- grand total was $ 346.22
God I love that MVD --- Went on the Friday fore Christmas @ 9:30AM, one person in front of us

Pulled into the lot, so few cars, Wife's saying I think they're closed, nope.

riverroyal · Dec 28, 2018

Did the mvd in parker on the way in. Lady was so great. Cal dealers are doing reg and paperwork as RO body type. This means nothing to mvd. She had to do a inspection and locate the frame vin number.
Super helpful girl. Also asked for az insurance due to primarily on street plate. Which i had thanks to mrs rr

Blazen Js · Dec 28, 2018

Blazen Js family and one, possibly two, other families are in. Can you tell me where the line will begin for breakfast burritos?

It will be simple and I'll make a few as people show up and please help yourself to the rest.
Added spicy pinto beans, scrambled eggs, sausage, and sweets

Oh man we took the buggy up to Havasu Heights for Thanksgiving at family and i know my car rides better than most any utv and it was absolutely MiSeRaBle, the chatter bumps from Golden Showers all the way to Franconia

DLC · Dec 29, 2018

I won’t make it, I’m totally bummed out.

My DWT wheel is a 3 piece wheel and I can’t get it to hold air, there is a O ring and for some reason it’s not holding or seating. I’ve taken it apart 3 times yesterday and even squirted in some sealer goop in it last night before bed kind of as a hail marry, no workie!

This is the 2nd wheel I’ve had a problem with, on the Alamo trip I abanded fixing the 1st one and just bought another wheel for my spare...

Have fun and be safe! Happy new year y’all!

riverroyal · Dec 29, 2018

At least you will be warm all day! Fast leak? If it holds for a bit we can always pump it up at beer stops

DLC · Dec 29, 2018

Thank you!

I might drive the jeep over to meet everyone!

I’m surfing the net, looking at new wheels!

riverroyal · Dec 29, 2018

If its slow leak then big deal. We can pump it

DLC · Dec 29, 2018

It goes flat in in like 10/12 mins

I tried the slime last night

I have my own personal assistant at big o tire now dealing with these 2 rims, Carson is a great guy at big o tire If any body needs some extra tire care
I have a 12volt pump set up, I just don’t want to hold up everybody.
