May 5 or 6 Trail ride

Kurt (from the shop) just picked up a built(?) Explorer and it looks basically ready to roll with us this weekend!!

It looks ok after seeing it today:

Straight front axle - D44 from an early bronco; coils, radius arms, bilsteins, warn hubs
Front(?) and rear bumpers
Rock sliders(?)
ARBs front and back
35 BFG muds
body damage

If you couldn't tell the question marks are for the questionable parts...

I AM PSYCHED:!: Supposed to be in he 80s this weekend, so lets get them ready!

Sounds good to me. I'm in

If its the one im thinking of the guy who owned it was in AZBC. if you go to their web site you can see it in action. Name the time and place, I should be good to go too....

Hey Chris, I cant forget if you already told me what equipment you have on that XJ? I know 33s and.....??

I guess the next questions would be, how willing are you to take damage? And, got any spare front axles?

Just trying to figure out how hard of a trail to plan...

It's a pretty basic set up.....Dana 30 in front with 4:56 gears and ARB locker, Dana 44 in back with the same gears and locker. It has the stock NP 231 xfer case in it.

Hey Jeff... I think im going to have to pass on this weekend, I took some pretty bad damage to my house in last nights storm and the only time the repair people can come is Sat.

Might I suggest Axle Alley?

You have some decent stuff so it sounds like you are ready!

Sorry to here about your house there, what if we go out on Sunday?

Do you know how to get to Axle Alley entrance? I have not been there but have heard it is a good trail...

I dont know the exact entrance to Axle Alley, I do know that it is off Upper Woodpecker and so is the ever mysterious Elvis trail....

I have some family stuff to do on Sunday, but I appreciate you switching your plans around for me.

OK we are meting at QT on Power and University at 9AM Saturday... Headed into Bulldog Canyon OHV.

Another good day (except for the ford) we had 5 rigs show up but one didn'y play well with others so it went home. so we hit the trail with 4 rigs. HELL YEAH!

This is one of my new favorite trails...

Kurt dropped out early after his fuel pump took a shit, a couple hours later we were on our way!


Mike taking the first big bonus obstacle...






Rick at the same spot








Unfortunatly we had to stop at the same place as last time... There is more to this trail that we have only hiked down... I guess more to look forward to!!

Along with, Elvis, Axle alley, Hiway 2 hell, all of the Table mesa area and the rest of Arizona!! There are some the best rock trails IN THE WORLD right here in our back yard, YEAH!!!
