You guys made some good time! That's awesome. I hope the ac is good in the chase trucks, and the tacos were ready for lunch ;)

Pretty nice you are actually able to ride a SXS from Canada to Mexico the whole way. That has to take a lot of planning. I wonder if you had to cut thru some 4X restricted zones. Thanks for the updates.
BTW…your truck I bought is still going strong 💪 The burro mishap was well…you know…shit happens

That sounds like a nice way to cap off the run!
It was awesome. Very cool that we got through all that and everyone was still having fun. Came up and made spaghetti, went for a booze cruise and going to bed now.

Glad the truck is still running strong. That was one of my favorite ever 👍

We did have some non-OHV areas (like Death Valley) but we are dual plated in AZ. That at least gives us a fighting chance 😂
No DNFs? Incredible
No doubt, I fully expected to lose a car on the way down. The Pro R is a great platform and the prep on the cars by Conery was awesome.

What is maybe even more crazy is 12,250 miles on the tires and no flats 😳

Very impressive on all counts from a mechanical perspective.

Thanks BP.

I think the coldest temp was 30, warmest was 113.

12 oil changes
0 tires (combined 12,000 miles with no flats at all😳). Also no flats on the trailers.
0 Belts but the Pro Rs are known to be really good on belts.
We fueled off the trailer 5 times. we ran around 9mpg so an estimated 1350 gallons of gas.

Starlink on chase and one of the cars.




We've got two cars with passengers. 5x 2 seat and 1x 4 seat Pro R. All the 2 seat cars were built by Conery. Our cars we did cages (with extra A Pillar), nets, skid plates, rock protection, aux tanks, bed boxes, toe links, ball joints, patrticle separator, seats, belts, roof, SDG worked their magic on the shocks. Here are some pics:

I love this pro r and the rear tire/bumper setup. Is the exhaust outlet just extended from the stock muffler or is it an entire new muffler?

Thanks dude :)

It is the stock muffler. The factory exhaust tip was removed and a new turndown was fabricated. Sounds completely stock 👍

I really need to pull all the video and put together a post ride report for each day. Work, house, kids and holidays have been taking priority :D

We're already talking about just doing a few cars and sleeping on the trail to see how quick we could do it just for fun LOL

Is that a custom spare design?
