Time to wake up the cruiser and head out! :shotts:

Heading off to Panamint Valley Resort for a little expedition wheelin with a group of friends. Coming home Monday. Time to try out all the new mods i've been rushing to get done for the first camping trip out!

Catch you all on the flipside! I'll drink a or two for you guys!

EDIT:
The cruiser is fully loaded.. extra fuel and extra water.... ready to rock and roll.. Just need ice and im off..

Truck didn't seem to sag down at all, if anything it's level now. (HD springs)

I'm currently in a jealeous rage having read your post! Have fun! Pics and a report on your trip and mods will be required upon your return.

 

[rfjtoy]

Have a blast, remembering those poor souls left behind. Need pics and report on your return.

Rig looks great Dave. Have a great time and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

SWEET!! When you get back let me know what you did to make those jerry cans so purty (paint?, good cleaning?) If paint what kind did you go with. I just picked up some just like yours and they would like to look like yours someday Have a blast, can't wait to see the pics.

Look closely at this pic, you can see the white "Sea Level" sign up on the rock face showing the actual seal level.

Nice pics!
Your truck looks great - how did your new heavies handle on the rough roads?

Looking at the last pic (other vehicles) posted, I would rather be in the 80.

 

[SOCALFJ]

They're all sweet rigs and very capable. The 80 was just a little more comfy and death valley exploring was the type of wheeling i built it for.

 

[95eighty]

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing.Glad you made it home safe.

 

[Brentbba]

I recognized lots of those places! Nice pics. Looks like you had a blast.

 

[bluto]

...The 80 was just a little more comfy...

Exactly!

 

[SoCalJohn]

slobber.... My truck could look just like yours . Looks like a great trip.

 

[Slomo]

Nice pics Dave, thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a good time, makes me want to explore it even more. I have ridden that area extensively on two wheels, even off roaded my Harley a few miles but I have yet to see it off the beaten path like that.

 

[rfjtoy]

Have not yet been off-roading in the Valley but have been there many times, can't wait for a trip. Great Pics. Thanks.

 

[SOCALFJ]

One last cool pic..

One last cool pic..

That is some impressive fording depth, especially without a snorkel. You can add submarine to your sig line. Seriously, cool photo. I hope to make it out there and explore for myself someday.
