Should we start planning the annual SCCX Mojave run?

I'm nodding at the screen while trying to shove money into my monitor...

Safe to assume 'YES'

Umm, well then we better pre-run it in a few weeks.  *cough* *cough*

Safe to assume this is not 2WD friendly?

Ummmm....most of it was a dirt road....but there was one part in particular where I was in 4LO going down a hill....

But I also remember a 2wd 4Runner getting stuck and holding up the entire train of 15 of us.....sooo....dunno.

Theres also a portion towards the Laughlin side thats on large smooth rock and requires 4wd.
   98% is 2wd but that 2% is a game changer.
   4wd is a must.

From some guys I've spoken with, it's mostly doable with a 2wd, just a few places that are not 2wd friendly. I'd say make sure there is a 4x4 in the group just in case.

iirc that 4runner was fwd only, and it didnt help that his buddies were dicks and took off, leaving only the people behind him to help.
