What's up everybody!
Not exactly sure where this should go, it's general, but it's also photos and videos... :P
Super excited today as I'm doing an instagram takeover on Mercedes official IG account. I took a 5 day trip up the coast of California in my G300D and filmed the whole thing. They...
ahh I'm so bummed, was driving around testing the clutch, and it's slipping pretty reliably now. Probably not the best idea to drive out into the desert, so bummed, was looking forward to my first OB trip!! Next time, now time to try to source a 90s MB clutch ...
Rad dude. I'll check out Harbor Freight, there's also a couple off-road shops I've been meaning to check out, so I'll make the rounds and pick these up. Thank you!
Great!!! I think I'm in! Any specific kind or type of straps?? (I'm new to recovery....) Wouldn't be a bad thing to have in the truck anyways. I think I'll be fine, twice on really long hot drives it started slipping up hills. Once going to Vegas in March, and then once in Sept driving home...
Meet people and have fun sounds like a great plan!! I drive a 1991 2dr Mercedes G-Wagen. Diesel, manual trans. Raised 2" on 32" Toyo Open Country RTs. It's slow, but it can get over a lot. My only concern is my clutch has been acting a little funny. Hasn't left me stranded, but obviously I want...
Hey ZJ Grizzly! Super interested in coming up from LA.
How tough will the trails be? I've done some basic trails (Cleghorn with no offshoots, Pioneer town -> Big Bear) so some of the more intermediate / advanced trails would intimidate me. I usually just get out solo, but would love to meet...
So I started planning this trip in more detail, I had been looking at the seasonal temperature charts for the locations I wanted to camp, and it all seemed to be within reason.
Then I started to use my weather app to check weather today and found out that everywhere was over 100 degrees in the...
Does this logistically make a difference? I need to pay to enter MV correct?
Copy. Will check them out! Thanks.
DUDE. POMKA!!! HAHAHA I love it. I will definitely have some in honor of your advice.
Not sure where I'll camp, but Cave Springs doesn't seem that far south, and I need to go...
DUDE!! Thank you so much!! I didn't even know about Delorme InReaches. That seems perfect for me. It's just a safety / backup, you know for those just in case moments I know I'll be alright and then I can roam without worry. While the unit is a bit pricey, from what I read $60/yr is worth paying...
Sweet! Are you talking like between Flagstaff and Sedona?
Are these like state campgrounds (Pine Flat / Cave Springs)? Or somewhere I would drive in on some of the side roads?
Rad dude! I'll definitely let you know what I do!!
RAD dude! Thanks for the trips. Yeah I have the original jack the car came with, but I'm not too confident in that. haha. I might pick up a front runner jack and track pads when I swing by there. Going to drop off the truck at the shop today too to check on my clutch. It was slipping on my last...
Hey Everyone,
So I've been itching to get out again, I think I'll have a week or so free in June so planning to head to Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Moab and Zion over 10/11 days.
I'm a photographer and director so obviously I'm into finding picturesque locations. They can be the famous ones...
I'd advise doing the Road to Big Bear from Pioneer town. Camp 1 night in Joshua tree, run the trail (fairly easy) up to Big Bear and then camp up there for the second night. I did it last fall it was great!
I've explored Sequoia a little bit, but not Yellowstone, Modoc or others.
I'm actually planning a similar trip in June! But I'm headed east to Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Utah. ;) California is too hot for my rig with no AC! haha
