Have fun on the run and take some more video. FYI - It's CORRAL Cyn. (like horse corral) not Carrol like X-Mas time.

Come on bruce, Have not been out with you since big bear. Now one else has chimed in either. Im almost tempting to do the trails alone, cause I want to go out so bad....

since i have not been there im assuming you guys are going on trails that a stock 4runner can not go on?

Umm, Stock for sure, just might need some sliders. Not sure, I have not ran this trail, but if you want to run it, I can tug you through if you need some help. Im sure some of the other guys will chime in for your question.

heres pics from not too long ago. Looks like some tough spots. Sliders are recommended if you want to be able to open your doors again. :P

I'll roll out there for a bit.

sorry, i have to retract, got to work Saturday morning. And im going to a work related get together Sat evening. I could do Sun, but you have to work. If no one is going to come this week, lets move it out a week and I should be able to make Saturday.

Its ok, everyone did this this and last time. Happens all the time. Lots of people sign up, and back out at the last second. Will post pics. Even if I wheel alone.....I'm still going.

Yesterday was intresting, had to get my welding tanks filled, buy more sawzall blades, and make a trip over to Harbor Freight to get some cut-off wheels. I finally got the right side lower mount relocated, but still have to do the left side. I'll be starting on it in about a half hour...... Not too sure how long it will take, since I need to make some modifications to the e-brake cable, so it's not binding at full droop.

As for the trip tomorrow, I'll let you know later today, since I'd have to pack my gear as well.

I would love to run this, but I am leaving for a week of backpacking in the sierras from the 7th to the 15th. So while I'm scrambling trails at 14,000 ft with 55lbs on my back I'll be thinking about you guys sitting in your trucks at 2,000 ft with the A/C on :D .

Hey.

Check your thread on Adv.4x4.

Got the mount done, but then ran into trouble after articulating it out. Since I raise it 2" the shock body hits the frame pocket. Did some clearancing but got too tired of jacking my rig up to check. If it's not enough I may have to cut the lower mounts back off and fabricate new ones a bit more inbound. Either way I still need to extend the bumpstops, so it looks like I won't be able to make this trip.

Sorry to hear Bruce, We can go out next week. Just let me know ahead of time. Do you have limiting straps? You can throw them on in the mean time to droop out as far as possible with out making contact, and set your strap at that point.

I know how it is. Last week I planned on running this trail, and had my rear axle leaking from the hub, so I had to fix that and call off the trip. But now Im ready.

I posted the problem in my rear suspension thread, droop isn't the issue but compression after relocating the mount. I still haven't added limit straps, those will be done after I get all the bugs ironed out.
