300+ mile run in Yuma, az

[PanthurBRZ]

Parts of it but alot of it is sand washes. I wouldn't take a 2wd...

Appreciate the honest answer. Will have to wait until I get my AWD swap one day.

I have had my outback in there, not the whole route, and was surprised at where it went. My XJ and Ram 4X made short work of it though.

Is this feasible for 2WD with ~6-8" ground clearance? Vehicle weight is ~3k lbs so being light helps, but I don't want to overestimate anything either.

I reread your post about 6 to 8" ground clearance... No I would not attempt it in that.

 

[DezertRat]

Should we start talking about dates for this trip?

I can go Jan 27-28 or any weekend in Feb

 

[danthman114]

There's alot of time between then and now.

Oh no worries, you had me at "would not attempt 2wd" lol

How about sometime in October ?

Trying to put together a run in the kofa rangeand maybe through the cibola side of 95..

Crazy seeing fellow Yuma guys out here, I live right here and for sure I'd be willing to try it out and bring a couple buddies of mine to tag along!

I think I'm in. Can you set up a GPS route overlay? So I can do some research also please. How many days were you thinking?

Buckwilk- I wasn't sure lol. I know there's a lot of beginners here whom are learning.

 

[danthman114]

I would have to get on Google Earth and start clicking. Not sure how to do an overlay.

Subscribed and interested. January and February are pretty slow months so fairly open.

Let me know your start point and your end point. And then look at your intentions, your technical abilities - both you and your vehicles and time frame and ill see if i can make an overlay for you.

 

[danthman114]

It's all in the original post.

However, if you don't know the route you'll never be able to do it.

 

[buckwilk]

Since some of us are here in Yuma, what about a meetup? Coffee ?

 

[YPD1]

That sounds like a really good idea. Please just don’t have it this weekend, I’ll be at the OTG Rally.
