@Godzilla/Tremornator travel & antics

except for a little extra dirt

turnning into an "is what it is" situation.

bumpers are bad enough now I'm seriously shopping for after markets or make my own.

yesterday trailing a little

there were some washouts where the gas tank touched & a couple of 15⁰ climbs in loose dirt that required 4x4 & locker to not spin but i think this is the obstacle that made this trail a 5/10. might actually need to be a 6???

was headed to so another trail when my tire pressure driver rear went way low.

got out to check & a biga$$ thorn in between 2 sidewall lugs
grrrrrrrr

no plugs this time. just aired up to 80psi & got to a discount tire

3rd tire I've ruined this set.

pretty easy except for a thorn
🤣😂🤣😂🤣

You're in my neck of the woods and you didn't ring?

Fak the matter wid'chu!

Now you know what I go through and where I spend my tire life. For that, they make 12-plys.

Let me know where you're planning to be/camp this weekend.

I'll be in Tonopah and Buckeye tomorrauw.

it was just a big thorn. nearly the size of a pencil though. in the sidewall between two tread lugs.

was mad it ruined the day.

didn't get any pics of it
 
coming back from Phoenix the speed limit was 80mph 85% or so of the way.

was able to make really good time. especially when i had a lead rabbit radar blocker for a little while. he had to be doing 100 maybe more. he kept getting caught behind trucks so i was able to stay with him till i needed to pull off for gas.

down side was gas mileage really fell off!!!!

weeeee
hang on to your hat!!!!

thank you to whomever is responsible for the Flagstaff trail badge.

thanks to @Toxophilite for organizing the get-together.

had a good time seeing all the possibilities for overlanding that is available. enjoyed rubbing elbows with the small group that participated. both trailing & at the event.

had a good time with @OmahaBravo a couple of days prior.

had a couple of good solo days in the area after. before going to see a friend in goodyear.

thanks
stay tuned for more to come
wooohooo
