Do you deal with Rock and Roll Offroad there in DFW?
I am having a hell of a time getting my 2 rigid bars from them.

You gotta come to Midland and hit some trails sometime here soon.


I've been to the shop and talked with them. They seem like good guys. I am going to have them do my mid perch in a couple weeks. Speaking of that, are there any additional Raptor needs for the trip. It would be good to let people know that way we can start scraping up money. (example : Radio's, CB's, extra tires, mid perch, lights, fire ex....)

Since you have ran the trail, I would love to hear your thoughts on the things we might need.

Thanks!

Tires, tools, radio, oils, funnels, fuel can, tire tools, water, tow rope, air tank and small compressor if you got it, first aide kits, high lift jacks come in handy.

I'll have a list and a liability paper I'll mail out before we all show up and get this going.

How does Feb 25-26th sound to everybody so far?

I am taking to Go-Pro out with me hopefully here pretty soon to give everyone a preview of what the trail is like.

I have been contacted by a few suppliers and vendors who would like to help out with this run. Nothing is set in stone yet, but I am working on it guys.
I am also trying to reach out to some local companies, and the guys at Baja Pits who might like to help out with this.

Which guys with Baja pits?

I talked to Marry Hunt, I haven't given all the details and haven't asked about availability or cost.
It might be a long shot to get them, but I am trying.

What would they provide? Fuel support?

I help run one of their pits in Baja.

Fuel, possible repairs.
I they are handy with tools and welders, I have a mig and tig welder, but would have to recruit another friend here to drive a truck and trailer to a mid point or a stage area to be able to use it.

I already have both of my trucks, and the Pete hauling stuff to Queens to help out.
I am running out of friend to help me out with this lol

I can't get the land owner on the Rayrow Ranch let me get through there.
That throws a major wrench into things.
This new guy working that area is being a jerk.
I'm working on a way around his place, but it's looking bad at this point :(
But I'm still trying.
