Power Wagon Registry

Made a long excursion along OR NV border. Hit Christmas Valley dunes along the way. First time in dunes since putting new front axle & Bilsteins. Rig behaved surprisingly well. Much better than before but I'd have to admit sand was pretty firm this time around. No wheel-hop to speak of.

Nice pics, looks like a great trip, what air pressure did you run in your tires?

I usually air down to 15-18 PSI this time I didn't since plan was to cross dunes in a harry on way to randevu down south with rest of a groop for very cold first night We trailed sorta along southern border of OR to Owyhee canyon. Few paved roads. Some gravel and lots of nearly abandoned two tracks.










Sleeping on the playa.

and having fun



Desert was wet in places




final destination



that waterfall is actuall beautifully clear warm creek that come from under layers of lava in a small canyon.

Of course we couldn't resist having some other kind of fun a 500 yards

Or teaching yanglings how to handle things properly.

Great pictures, I haven't been out to Christmas Valley in a couple of years. That looks like a great trip.

Grass farm, the circle is the water line.

Great pic's.

Yes, Awesome pics!

Nice to see you're put your PW to good use!

Thanks on kind words. Here is one casualty of a trip. Whoever designed transmission cooler attached to main radiator is total dumb ass. From all the shaking over years. It finally chewed a hole through aluminum. I've started loosing notable amount of coolant on day 1. Being in a desert and all didn't add to comfort. Stuffed some ear plugs behind to prevent more damage. Eventually we made it to gas station. Some stop leak helped somewhat but not 100%

WOW!!! Gorgeous pictures!!!!! Really making me miss living in NV! Looks like an awesome trip!!!!!!

Thought those were your fingers at first!!!!! I was like NOOOOOO!
Beautiful place and great shots also ..(sorry that was a lame one).
Looks like she just ran rt up that sand hill. Does look nice and firm for a sand hill but I bet that Hemi was reving up a storm. Great stuff.

Fantastic pictures, this is exactly the type of trip I want to go on. Thanks for sharing.

I've hit the dunes here in Oregon, too. The ones at the coast are great to explore. It's a nice touch that the engineers considered airing down when they spec'd these wheels.
Too bad all my good pics are on my wife's phone : (
