I’ll be up in Lucerne Valley all Thanksgiving week. I was looking to see where Chuckwalla and Orocopia are in case I could join in but they’re a bit further than I want to drive from Lucerne.
We’ll be in bullhead on october 14th and will be looking to do about a half day of offroading.
I’ll have to try it again on our next trip.
that was our first time to Ocotillo. We usually go to the high desert but we like ocotillo too. It’s about the same distance from home.
Sounds about right.
I like having fun and getting into some toe curling obstacles but I’m not ready to die or wreck my truck.
I’ve been dropping to 18 but I’m going to try 15. I’m wondering how low I can go with the factory 33s without bead lockers and not loose it. I’m ready to start asking...
Went to Ocotillo Wells with some friends and family for a couple nights
Our campsight.
Over the hill from Holmes camp
took a run to pumpkin patch
Very interesting
On the way back a sandstorm hit that lasted until late afternoon. That was not fun but it didn’t take away from the...

I was at Blow Sand at Ocotillo Wells on Saturday.
I'm guessing it's between 20-25 deg pitch and super soft and about 100 yards high.
I couldn't even get half way up without digging in. I tried 3 times and even airing down I couldn't make it.

Not surprised about crab flats. There were already some road issues up there before.
the minor washouts only add to the fun.
With my schedules now and desert season here I may not get up to that area until next spring. Depending on how the winter weather goes I may get up there for some snow...
I’ve learned the main thing for good mileage is to be easy on the gas whenever you can. The Gladiator gas is pretty sensitive.
I learned that with my wife’s Mustang GT.
she was always a floor it and brake it kind of driver but I always just cruised it and looked ahead. It’ll there was a red...
My "Current MPG" magically reappeared yesterday with no indication of why.
One reason I know of is, concerning increasing my mileage, is to see how my driving is affecting my mpg. If I can stay off heavy acceleration I get a lot better mileage, which is what i'm after.
It is also kind of...
True.
it still shows the green light bar so we have that to show the current mpg we just don’t have the numerical display that makes it easier to calculate.
I’ve had my Glad for 5 months, haven’t done any mods, and my “current MPG” disappeared this week and is nowhere to be found. I’m a techy and still can’t figure it out and from what I’m seeing here it’s something with the software. They don’t show any software update options in the settings, only...
