Mojave road trip
While visiting my folks in New River, AZ. (north of Phoenix) I met up with some AZLRO guys and ran most of the Mojave Road last week. Here are my pics I took along the way.

RE: Mojave road trip
That is a Pinzgauer, not made by LR. However there were some forward control vehicles LR did make. The road itself is pretty easy. You could probably do it in a stock vehicle, but the front bumper might take some hits. Without the SD rack this trip would have been very difficult. Luis, the guy in the silver Disco, had 25 gallons of fuel on his roof. They were in between the factory cross bars, and he had the extension rails too. Since his cans were plastic it was ok, but with metal jerry cans you can't let them rest on the roof itself.
The book "The Mojave Road Guide" by Dennis G. Casebier is a must to take along the road. The book says take gas for 200 miles, but depending on how you drive, stopping for pics with the engine running, and other diversions an extra 10 gallons is a must. I drove the whole time in Hi range/3rd gear. The book covers the entire route to 132.9 miles in the book.
