    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    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 ...

    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    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...

    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    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...

    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    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...

    10 Day CA->AZ/UT Solo Trip Advice

    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...

    10 Day CA->AZ/UT Solo Trip Advice

    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...

    10 Day CA->AZ/UT Solo Trip Advice

    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...

    trip ideas/routes for areas west of L.A (Joshua Tree)

    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!
