Okay boys and girls, it's that time time of year again - time to say goodbye to 2023 and kickoff a brand new year of wheeling, out in the Mojave Desert and with all our friends! As is typically the case, this will be an easy, scenic run but we may or may not add in some low range driving and so, we will have a few minimum requirements. Also, to help keep the group size manageable and fun for everyone, we will be limiting the amount of Jeeps that can attend. And, while we won't enforce this as a rule, we are asking that people who do sign up be an active member here on WAYALIFE or at least, to some minimal degree.

When : Saturday, January 6, 2024 @ 8:30am
Where : Southern, NV (exact location TBA)


Minimum Requirements

• Tow Points Front and Rear
• Rocker Guards
• Tow Strap
• Spare Tire
• GPS

What You Need to Know

  1. Please be aware that it will most likely be on the cool side all day if not down right cold. Please pack/dress accordingly and in layers just in case it turns out to be nice out. Also, you need to make sure that you bring plenty of water and snacks for you and everyone in your Jeep. While we "should" be done with this run by sundown, more times than not, things DO happen out on the trail and you NEED to be prepared for a long day that goes well into the night.

  2. As is the case on any trail run, restrooms will be in short supply. I will be sure to stop periodically in a location where it's more advantageous for the ladies to find cover but, that's the best I can offer. Likewise, there are no trash facilities so you need to be sure to pack out what you pack in.

  3. We are asking that participants have some kind of GPS system or app like OnXOffroad or Gaia on a mobile device. As we get closer to the run date, I will post up the area that we will be exploring and you will need to have maps downloaded for it. Once we get going, cell service may be spotty if not non-existent.

  4. On this trip, we will be communicating with Race Radios. A good handheld unit like the kind BAOFENG makes is affordable and works surprisingly well. You WILL need to make sure to have it programmed for the following channels: 151.625 (weatherman), 151.250, 151.430 and 153.440. It is your responsibility to take care of this PRIOR to the run.

  5. Last but not least and maybe most importantly, YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS THREAD. Updates will be posted here and I will NOT answer questions by PM.

How to Sign Up

While Cindy and I know some of you well, there are plenty of you who we've never met in person before and if you'd like to sign up for this trip, we are asking that you please post up a pic of yourself and tell us what your real name is. We'd also like for you to post up a pic of your Jeep and tell us a bit about it. Also, just to reiterate, simply signing up will NOT guarantee you a spot on the trip. Your participation on this thread WILL.

2024 WAYALIFE NEW YEAR KICK OFF RUN SWAG
Just wanted to let you all know that I just added official swag for the 2024 WAYALIFE New Year Kick Off Run on our Bonfire store and you can buy shirts and hoodies for it there:


Lodging Information

Okay, here's the deal. We will be starting this run in Boulder City, NV and if you live out of the area and need a place to stay, we booked a room at the Best Western for Friday, January the 5th. On Saturday, we will be ending our run about an hour or so to the south and so for that night, we have booked a room at the Golden Nugget in Laughlin, NV. Cindy and I invite you to join us at both hotels.

With that said, we hope to see you out there! :cool:
