At 0730.
This is one of the tougher trails in or area.
These trails are fun and technical and stretch the capabilities of an IFS rig.
Sliders
Skid plates
One locker
3" Lift
33's are a minimum must for IFS rigs!
Front and rear bumpers are suuuuper recommended. The drop in and relief angles coming down Doran are a wh@re!
I hate putting requirements on a run, but this trail is no joke.
Bring your huevos, nerves of steel, a change of draws, drink your Red Bull and check your ego at the trail head. If you think your better than this trail? Have a flat bed waiting for you.
We will in no way, shape or form entertain the idea of doing Doran's "Gate Keeper".
Bring a sac lunch and drinks. No Betty Whites on this run!

This can take a good chunk of the day.....especially if we find other ways to stay entertained.

Wahoo. Sounds like good times.

For the record I don't like the idea of the shelf road at the top of Odessa. It's gotten sketchy.
If Kenny's Nissan buggy makes it out there one way or another. It'll go up gatekeeper. We were playing on it going up n down a few months ago. I have entertained the idea in the pathfinder.. but well.. its got a lot of sheetmetal.

Here is a different view of the same road. Guys are going up the middle of and eroding the edge of the road.

Im my group, I went first and I thought I was going to flop. My front right got real light as the rear left sank. A good spot will get you through that....you just got to trust your spotter.

My January and February are pretty booked I'm volunteering for the YMCA next weekend and Presidents' weekend and I'm doing the Hero Hustle on the 25th... Sundays are a little easier for me to ask for time off. I may be able to swing the 9th... I've been reading about Calico and REALLY want to get out there. I think I'm going to finish my sliders on Tuesday.
-
Just saw the videos... It looks fun!
It would be great if people could ditch work on a Tuesday or Wednesday!
I've taken a lot of time off lately.
-
How does Feb 22nd sound?
-
No can do. Ill still be in Johnson valley for King of the hammers.

I'm out. It's bitter sweet. I just got a promotion so that's nice but I shouldn't ditch work to wheel.
-
My other buddy and his Tacoma are coming too...
-
Damn this is tempting but my rig isn't quite ready... No Lockers and regular A/T tires...
Dann, is this whole trail heavy with no bypass???
-
Im out. Gotta build a motor
Sent while mobile, typos likely.
-
The "requitements" are there to get an Xterra through. What are you in?
Next time Steve. I know that motor has been on the front burner.
-
Darn, wish I could go but truck is too new and not trail worthy yet. Got tax return done, waiting for funds to come in so I can buy the ARB EMU Dakar front Med duty spring and the PRG mini lift kit.
-
Would it be possible to move this to Sunday the 23rd?
-
Danny,
I don't care either day would work for me
-
So what is the current status of this run? Anybody going? If so, what date?
-
Im hoping to do it on Sunday the 23rd.
I havnt heard from Nick yet but the other guys that were going are down with Sunday.
-
Date updated to Sunday Feb 23rd.
-
Mark me down as a definite. Not sure I will have any passengers though.
-
Ok Sunday it is. This works best for me anyway. Discovered I have a commitment Sat. that I didn't know about :P
Where and when are we meeting Sir? How many Hams will we have? Plinking along the way or not?

Sounds great to me... plinking? I like plinking...

Plinking sounds good.
My other buddies are barely on CB, so this run will primarily be CB.
-
Got CB too. But to quote the duffer that just gives us license to talk $hit....
But pick a channel for us to be monitoring for our CB buddies and might I suggest 146.535 for our HAM buddies

Updated with comms

Great Day. Just got home with two new dents.
That shelf road has gotten narrow at the top of Odessa. Even in the last year since I went up, it was a few inches narrower.
After watching a fully built FJ40 go up a nasty ledge...Terry gave us the quote of the day.
...guy looks over and says "Not bad for a 40yr old rig."
....Terry steps back and looks at the rig and says "There aint nothing on this rig 40yrs old."
Freakin priceless..
Sheared a valve stem coming down Doran

What a beautiful place to change a tire. There was a 3ft ledge about 3inches from the fron tires.

You can see it in the cargo hold. The bag is black and the pic is dark....just too damn lazy to mount it for a couple of sandwich bags and......."cans of refreshment".

Great pics Toro, and Terry is too funny :D
-
"cans of refreshment".
Aka: recyclable floor mats.

Definitely wished I could've made this. Combination of family issues and finally getting my X road worthy took me outta this one. This would've really tested the X out.
