[QUOTE="twostep, post: 711443, member: 1427"] Don't bother... unless they are spraying water on you at the same time they will just feel like a hair dryer blowing in your face. Me and 4 other rigs went out july 4th week last year. People told me "man it's going to be hot", I said hell I've dealt with 100 degree heat here in ky and we have humidity! 114 degrees was the hottest day, 109 was the coolest I think. And honestly the heat wasn't so bad for us, as long as we had hydration and shade, and weren't working on someone's junk... but our rigs hated life. Mine got so hot that my 4.0L was vapor locking... with my hood off... and a shade top covering the engine. Every rig burnt up at least one fuel pump. My trans temp which usually tops out at 200 was running a constant 230 out there. Will I go again? Fvck yes. Will I go again in July again? no. But I am sure you are way deep into the plan and won't back out so here are a couple of things I wish someone would have told us. -Minimum of one bottle of water per person per hour (that is not an exaggeration) while on the trail. You will be so thirsty. Of course beer on the trail that time of year is plumb dangerous. -Make sure you have at least one spare fuel pump. -Be at the trail head 30 minutes before sun rise. Wheel hard until 11am and hope you are out of the trail by 12pm. Then go into town and seek air conditioning and replacement fuel pumps. -July 4th fireworks, go up Sand Flats Road and park just outside the check station (entrance to hells revenge). [/QUOTE]
