Hi guys, looking forward to this. Any additional recommendations/preparations for such a long drive? Besides loading up on food and drink, any other essentials you wouldn’t normally carry?
Hello i have just confirmed attending- i am a new member with some decent off road desert experience from the past and had not had the chance to join similar club trips before- could you tell me if other than the necessary equipment for preparation i should be mindful of anything else? as i do not know any people in the thread or the club it will be a good opportunity for a face to face meet on the ground at the meeting point- should i prepare for or bring along anything else?

Hi Mario, my battery died 30 seconds after I moved it to the rear location… so I have some views of the overall route following the FJ up to the Raptor rescue. I’ll find a way to edit and share the good parts 🙂
