Spent last weekend at the 52nd annual TDS Desert Safari in the Truckhaven hills area about three miles West of the Salton Sea. http://www.tds4x4.com/ This is the largest off road rally in the Southwestern US. While the weather thinned the crowd a bit this year, there were still thousands of attendees in hundreds of RV's with just about every kind of off road vehicle that you could think of. The vendor area and obstacle coarse where as fun as ever and the fireworks show Saturday night was impressive. While you wouldn't want to explore this area in the Summer, the Truckhaven hills area is one of my favorite places to wheel. Should definitely be on your bucket list if you ever get out to Southern Cal.

Thousands of attendees? Too many bodies cramming into one place for my off-road/camping tastes. Great scenery, though.

The RESQ1 vehicle was a custom build. They took a stock JKU and chopped it up. You can see the complete build on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD_PMWZIFes There are 4-5 episodes of the entire build. You can also find various videos of the different runs that RESQ1 has been on. It's an impressive vehicle, but it's big and heavy and that has been a problem on some of the runs.Last edited by Rexjc; 05-24-2014, 04:48 PM.
