Knoxville CA 12/23
Well i went out to knoxville to mess around a little bit. I took it extremely easy because there was no sign of life for a good 20-30 miles. All my pictures are poser shots since i didn't try any of the harder trails because i was the only vehicle out there. My buddy was really tempting me but i just had to play it safe. I didnt want to spend christmas out there with him in the middle of nowhere.

Mud skates
Some poser shots. Playing on the rocks
On the way out
This is the outcome of doing some doughnuts on the side of the road. Video is soon to come.

The main trails are really easy. Its basically just simple fire roads. I drove 98% of it in 2wd and it was extremely muddy. There were a few parts i put it in 4wd just to play it safe. Didn't want to slide off the road. The place is huge though. I think its 17,700 acres. It looked like it was real easy to get lost. Theres a bunch more technical trails off the main ones. These are more of the really steep rocky trails with tight scrachy brush.

Basically what I'm asking is can you use the dual case x member with a single case?

Thanks
Thats a good question. I honestly dont know. If i had to guess i would say no. I would think that the rear driveshaft would probably interfer with the cross member. I just have have my stock t case with the single cross member. Myabe give Bud a call, im sure he could answer that for u. Im just going to change the gears in my single case to 4.70 gear set here real shortly when i change out my clutch. Maybe someday ill do dual cases.

PM next time you want to head up that way.. I'm in Suisun. I've been up there once for a clean up but picked up shotgun shells all day instead of wheeling.

Im thinking about heading up to prairie city on friday 1/2/09 to mess around a little bit. Then possibily heading up 50 for a little snow wheelin. Ive never wheeld in snow before. Any good places u can recomend off of 50. I seen your theard from your trip to icehouse Rd. That looks like fun but might be a little too deep for 31's. If you want to get into something late this week or next weekend let me know.

Thanks. Yeah its not bad.
Yeah i know its not the best place to go wheelin but its really close and a lot funner than sitting on the couch all day. As far as the mud goes, i dont drive through that deep crap no more. Just too much to clean up. I just cleaned my truck from knoxville last week, what a mess. Should of ran my mud flaps.
Yeah i would definitely be down for a knoxville run this summer. I met Joey at Pismo a few months back and seen his rig. Hell of a nice 4 runner.
Prarie city is fun for what it is...If you're into mudding it would be alot of fun! But make sure you know what you're about to go through before you go through it it gets thick real quick!
