Here's a link to a video I made from a run through Anza Borrego State Park a few years ago.

Looks like you guys had fun. The audio wasn't working on my computer, so I could have missed it being said, but about how fast are you guys going when you were driving at the higher speeds?

You didn't miss any voice. It was all music. We were running abour 40 tops in the dry washes with the Jeep out front. When I was out front there were times we were pushing 50-60 after the Jeep went home. We had to keep moving in the mud because we would have gotten buried. That crap was like quicksand. We got into it and had no choice but to try to get through it. There were eight rigs behind me and some were stock with stock tires and first time drivers. I was really concerned that one of them would panic and get stuck so I kept on the radio telling everyone to keep moving and don't stop, to trust their rigs, and that their rigs would handle it but keep moving and keep up. Everyone did well and got through by taking my line and staying in my tracks. In the mud the speed varied a lot.

My rear LED flashers finally bought the farm so I've been looking to replace them with something. A few weeks ago I orderd some white LED light pods to use for rock lights. Upon receiving the lights I discovered that they were flashers instead of lights that stay on. So using four of the six I purchased, I fabricated a new rear lightbar in conjunction with a lip to stop my fuel cans from sliding to the rear. I'm pretty pleased with the final outcome for now.

I can weld a little. When I want it done right I have several friends who can make magic with welders and I go to them. I've been a mechanic for nearly 20 years. I can turn wrenches on nearly anything from toilets to aircraft.
