I just realized you will have to register on that forum to see that thread. If you don't want to do that, then here is the info
Meet Friday night at the Circle K at 12177 east Tanque Verde in Tucson.
7:30 p.m. for airdown 8 p.m. pull out
Should get off the trail around midnight or so.
CB 7
Doing the Chiva trial with lower Tanque Verde falls loop. This trial is more rugged than the Chiva trial itself and less traveled. Heavy brush in places and some good sized boulders reside in the creek bottom. These will probably be under water if the rains keep up. Should be interesting. High clearance required and sliders and rear locker would be a good idea. Some driver skill required. (I guess that counts me out

Wow last night was wild, here are some pics a lot happened First within five minutes somehow alvin's discovery tires pickup a boulder and chucked it into his wheel wheel bending his ome a bit, I guess they have good traction, he soon figures out he severed the abs @ that same incident. So we took it easy hung out down by the cottonwood trees (no water
) around 12:00 we made our way back and ran three feathers. Alvin was started to feel his power steering going out. We get out and check out whats going on to find that all of his fluid is hitting the ground, a line in there had a crack and was unfixable due to the radiator heat, so insteed of waiting to let it cool off Alvin came up with the idea to put tranny fluid in there (since we didn't have power steering fluid) and limping it home. WE made it back to circle K and a darn sheriff spotted that Import Silvia had a liceanse plate light out
I guess he got ticketed but we had to fill up the fluid and make a run back to Alvins house...he made it home and I believe is fixing the hose today if it will ever stop raining...BTW thanks for the beer and hospitality last night Alvin, it was NOO trouble @ all making sure you got home alright.
Here is Alvin playing with rocks again
this rock was massive!!!
OME shocks
Hanging with the boys down @ the cottonwoods
Night exposures these would have been better but I was missing an important part to our tripod still really cool though mind you this is about 12:00 @ night

Great Pics Jake!!! That friggin boulder still amazes me. I can't figure out how I pulled that thing up in there. I didn't get the PS fixed yesterday. I found the bad hose and got it out, then it started raining and kept raining for 5 hours. I gave up took a shower and got some beer. I finished replacing PS hoses today and flushed the system just a few minutes ago. It's all good now. I'll fix the ABS later.
You know the good thing about driving with something leaking. everything underneath gets a good waterproof coating
Some pics of the damage.

Nice to meet some new folks. It was indeed a great trip, thanks everybody. Alvin, glad you got the PS fixed, I'm still awed by that boulder getting up there.

Glad you got it fixed that's a strange looking crack almost looks cut. Come on Alvin I thought AZFJers do it in the rain, it wasn't raining that badly damn the whole town was flooded yesterday that was crazy!!! Jeff that's a great picture glad you could join us, hopefully we can go on another run soon. Did you happen to get any pics of us going up three feathers?

So I'm not the only one rollin big boulders into the wheel well huh!
I thought I was rollin over something on the axle. When I tried to back up I felt something hit under my foot. Stopped and got out and there it was, lodged between the tire, wheel well and shock.
