X100 there were two mandatory fuel stops off the trailer and several more ‘just because’. That, plus help for servicing cars, keeping ice and drinks going and just being a safety net they were MVPs on this ride

Since we cut a day off the ride, we are going to finish out the afternoon at the river in the pool and then head home in the morning

That sounds like a nice way to cap off the run!

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

No DNFs? Incredible

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.

 

[Bails]

We WILL make this happen

count me in!!!
