Thanks guys, I'll check out your suggestions this weekend.. Would stock Hankooks do fine? I had to take off my mud terrains as they simply got too loud for my 70 Mile daily commute.

Thanks, I'll look those up. I've been wanting to try Ocotillo SVRA, and this may be my chance to.

No takers? I guess that I'll be doing my own research then. Once I decide on a route/drive, I'll post it here for whomever would like to join me for the day.

SoCal Folks, I'm planning on a trip down to the SD area in June with the family, and would like to explore some off-road trails that are fun/scenic, and suitable for a day-long visit - any recommendations? My 2019 FX4 is lifted 1.5 inches, 32" M/Ts, no-winch, with an experienced off-road...

Your rear bumper looks really low-profiled - is it the stock one? I like the hunkered down/sleek look!

Despite its complete impracticality as a truck, this one actually speaks to me - good for stoplight antics and perhaps even some track days, with the right suspension bits!

Guys, this just became apparent late last week - I now have a schedule conflict for those dates, so will no longer be able to lead/run this trail with you guys; my best chance to do so would be spring of 2022. The good news is that 1) Anyone can make/lead this run with the proper trail guide (I...

You can start with a GMRS radio (more powerful than FRS), which requires a $70 (good for ten years) FCC license, plus ideally a rooftop magnetic antenna for better range. An alternative is a CB radio, which would also require an external antenna (rooftop magnetic or a 3 or 4-ft. whip, attached...

Mike, can you send me info. on those camping stops that you've used? Much appreciated, and I hope that you can join us!! I just found out that Overland Bound has a trail maintenance event on the exact dates that we're planning our run (10/22~10/24), so there will more traffic than usual...

Yup, we'll definitely try to figure something out!

Thanks for the info., Mike. I've never been on the trail, so any tip is greatly helpful (I just have books to guide me). What I'm most concerned about are suitable camping stops - are there any that you can recommend, and where are they? As we're heading east-west, suitable nightly stops may be...

Phil, that's a great story - tell us more! I've added the latest three interest parties to the first post - here's hoping that the run will be a success. Bringing a Bronco on the run? OF COURSE!! (Is this a new or old version?) I went to test-drive a new one today, but it was already out on a...

Best about GoneMoab is that it accepts ANY make truck/SUV, and it's great group of organizers, all avid 4-wheelers. I last attended in 2017, and brought my family with me. I'm hoping to do it again next May. As to our Mojave Road trip here, it's starting to look like the week/end of 10/18 - we...

Joe, your FX4 should be fine; you could probably do most of the trail in 2WD, though there may be a few spots where you'd put a few scrape marks on your skid plates. I have an FX4 with the Ford Fox suspension and 32" M/T tires. At a relaxed pace, the trip should take 3 days and 2 nights, with...

Hey Drew, keep me updated on your OB efforts, as I wouldn't mind joining them; in the meanwhile, we'll keep planning away here... welcome! Is that an RTT on the back of your truck? I used to rent them when I had racks.

I've never been to Schnebly Hill, but it looks like a nice place. I've done some trail-running in the Sierras, as well as Bald Mountain near Shaver Lake, but the most fun was Moab, with a large group of Nissan Frontier and Xterras (event name is GoneMoab - searchable). I don't have an installed...

I agree that it's a bad idea to do it alone - hence the thread. It'd be great if we can get a few more rigs to come along - four or five would be ideal. How much offroading have you done? I was thinking mid-Fall or so to make the run, when it's cooler in the desert; what do you think? I also...

A Mojave Road trip is being planned for the weekend of 10/22~10/24, 2021. We will stage in/near Needles, and hit the trail on Friday morning (10/22). Three driving days and two dispersed-camping nights. Total mileage is approximately 140 miles, with avg. traveling speed of 15~20 mph. We will...

You'll get more rigs if you make a separate trip-announcement thread. Can you guys do July 10? I'm booked for the rest of July. I live 45 minutes from Hollister Hills, and have been there a few times in my old Frontier and twice in the Ranger. It's well worth the visit for first-timers. You...

The CEL came on today, at 11,489 miles. The phone app indicates the #2 injector circuit being the culprit, while my ODBII scanner pulled the F02F0 code, and attributed the fault to the #3 injector circuit (see attached photo). I don't know when my truck was built (it's a '19, purchased last...
