I expect to see some good wheelin night shots of this run. Im still stuck in Pensacola FL on vacation.

Speaking of that! How does everyone feel about taking pictures?

Would a stock rig be kosher on this trail? As long as I can get home for my beauty sleep, I think I'm in!

I agree, stocker should be able to make it

I PM'd those who said they were going. I sent my cell phone in case you need it. See you at the baja gas station per the first post. Bring your cameras if you want.

I made it home alright a couple hours ago... Now I need to find out why it overheats.

I would start with what Jackson noticed and get a new fan clutch. And maybe check the output of your water pump?

I changed my mind . Replacing the fluid in the fan clutch will be much more economical, and would probably perform better than a new one.

Trail fix: Hand throttle cable made from zip ties.

Saw 2 snakes, but no picture .

 

[DSRTRDR]

come to think of it, where on that trail do you need a hand throttle

Anywhere when the pedal is not working, and this is not trail specific.

 

[rolladude1166]

Yeah, the gas pedal is the biggest problem I have with my rig. It broke and that was the best thing we could think of at the moment got the job done.

Necessity always seems to get the creative and inventive juices flowing

Nice report! Glad I missed this one!

 

[Rudster]

"Amen"

 

[azrider]

Well on trial 3554 there is that rock ridge John was talking about. And I spotted an excellent spot for posing. I would've stopped but I was limping it as it was. Not the best time to take pics.

Hang in there dude. All that coffee will wear off eventually. While I did way you could probably drive most of it in a Prius, I didn't say you couldn't have fun out there. Running at speed on some of those trails is a blast, but doing it at night with all the dust in the headlights might be hard to do. There is one section(Packsaddle?) that has some more challenging parts, but might be a little tricky in the dark if you don't know the trail. Claudia found us some entertainment there last spring. If you run it in the daylight, watch out for the Jeep Tours. Nice guys, I know a couple of them. But they do go slow. John

Wow.... If I didn't need to be up at 3am, I would have been there to partake in such....awesomeness..... If anyone is going out on a Friday or Saturday during daylight, I'd love to try it out!
