It was about a 6 month lead time on the build. It was well worth it. The quality of the bumper is excellent. My guess is they could make something for a Tahoe.

Just mounted my relentless fabrication rear bumper and tire swing. Excellent fit and finish. Not a cheap modification but well worth it. Highly recommend this bumper. Interestingly the weight of the new bumper is about the same as the OEM bumper and hitch.

Nice photos everyone.

Here is a desert tortoise that Papadave and I saw last year literally on Mojave Road near the Mailbox. It was mid April. The Park Rangers are serious about avoiding these little guys. You can see his right in the tracks!

Do you have a HAM radio station for the meetup? I suggest 146.460.

I will plan on being there! DocTaco.

Photo taken by MagicMike. Last night in Death Valley. At eureka Dunes.

Also, thanks for the nickname

Great photos MagicMike. Thanks for sharing!

Now that it is completed...I have to say it was an awesome adventure. Special thanks to Kent, Bob and Kevin for all the planning! Look forward to the next adventure. Oh yeah, and fire-pit vs Tacoma...Tacoma wins!

Thanks Kent. Papadave and I have decided to meet up with the convoy in Lone Pine.

Thanks.

Kent, how is the trail from Lone pine to the Camp 1? Is it doable at night? I debating on leaving Modesto at 9 am or noon on the 1st?

What route?

What’s route?

My friend and I have been planning a trip to DV from 11/1-5. What round are you taking? We planned our route to start at Trona Pinnacles and working our way over Manly and Mengel Pass then up through furnace creek to Ubehebe Crater then down to race track playa. Take Lippincott Pass to Saline...

ScorpioVI, I am planning an overnight trip in Big Sur with my 2 sons. I would like to go up to prewitt ridge. I saw your great pictures in your post. Can you share your Gaia track? From what I read looks like a pretty easy route for a well equipped overland vehicle. Thanks, Mastonian

Excellent point. I had a fiberglass shell and not designed to do much else other than cover the bed. I think your set up sounds great!

Thanks. That is really good information. Working on getting full armor. As you know, it’s a process. Really appreciate the recommendations. Hopefully with experience I can work up to more challenging routes. I’m not landing for next fall. I’ll record our route and report back.
