SoCal, Coral Canyon, 7-26. (PIC HEAVY)

scuba · 07-27-2009, 01:04 AM

So today was a bit of a shakedown for the bedbob, wanted to see how it would hold up and wanted to see my increased departure angle in action, And tell you the truth I couldnt have picked a better place.. (Well Patrick picked it but

)

We met up at 9:45 ish near trail head and were on the trail by 10:30.

Found a new wheelin buddy, Dani

Went up

Left to right (Pat, StrykerSD; Tony, Desertcamper; Scuba, Scuba)
And there was a Jeep TJ on 35's with us, nothing too special.

Tony Getting sideways

ME, (TAKE NOTe OF THIS EXACT SPOT/ LINE I was taking)

Welllll, Tony tried to take the same exact line and broke his rear R&P

Took us about 4 hours but we had the front 3rd in the back axle and were on our way..

While waiting, I think I wanted to try out my new swiss army knife..?

MAN BOOBS !!

GUESS WHO

Getting sideways, In 2wd nonetheless

Pat, forgot to tell you but those rims look A+ on your rig..

STUPID ROCKS

Rock Racing :

Scarriest part of the whole trail..65 ISH ** down hill drop, As always pics dont do justice.

I Made someone go first, I wasnt about to be the first..

I had the biggest grin on my face

Pat chose this time, To tell us his brakes have air in the lines and arent working very well....
Jeeper, Me, And Tony took maybe 20 seconds or so to get down..
Pat on the other hand, Went from this

To THIS

In about 3 seconds..

I think she was kinda scared..

The lineup.

Carnage Report.
Dani's chin and knee.
Tonys rear ring and pinion, And passenger side marker light.
My TCase skidplate and my ice chest handle.

The End.

algranger · 07-27-2009, 06:05 AM

Looks like a good time. I'd like to get down there some time and try these things you call rocks.

I cant get over how sexy your taco looks with the rear bobbed up.

You gotta come up to Nor Cal and play with our rocks ours are better

Nice pics, looks like a good time! Diggin the bed bob

strykersd · 07-27-2009, 10:14 AM

I like how my girlfriend looks scared in every pictures, it makes me wonder why she continues to go offroading with me...

We had a crazy day out there, it took us 10 hours to get through a 1.0 mile trail. Plus changing Tony's R&P was a saga like none other, between the 4 of us we only had 2 bottle jacks, 1 hi-lift and just enough tools to do the job. Plus the rear end fell off the bottlejacks at one point, luckily no one was hurt. Plus it was a scortcher out there, I ran my AC for maybe a 1/4 of the trail until I noticed that my temp guage was up to H. Once again we got lucky and there wasn't any serious damage. It was nice meeting everyone! I'll post up the pics my girlfriend took when she sends them over to me.

Oh and one more thing to the damage report, Tony's sidemarker.

scuba · 07-27-2009, 11:17 AM

I got the most amazing sleep EVER !!!

Thanks for the comments everyone!!, the Bed bob Deff served its function yesterday.
EPIC Trail run, Thats the only word that describes it!!

Pat, I deff need something under that tcase of mine

And that pic you asked about, Was on the uphill section right after this obstacle

And I think you can actually see the rock right in this pic

Great Run Tony and Pat !!
Nice meeting you Tony, Kinda crappy what happened to your rig, but at least you were able to get home..

Once again Scuba, my jealous meter has pegged!! I MISS THAT WHEELIN!!!!!!

lol!! Good stuff! Looks like your truck did great, you STILL don't have a BudBuilt skid yet?

Bummer about the R&P, that's craziness!!!!

**4x4Fink** · 07-27-2009, 03:52 PM

There's only one thing better than wheeling...wheeling with a cute chick.
I bet she had a blast - looks like everybody did.

Good trip report, good to see you're actually out there hitting the trails.
Bed bob looks good.

Fink

scuba · 07-27-2009, 04:56 PM

Al: she looks like that because that part of the trail was petty epic. Pat barely had brakes and flew down it like nothing. Scared me too.

Logan, how bout you al and plumber bob all male a roadtrip down here and come wheel..
And no BB's yet, he said there might be some compatibility issues with the single cabs and the tcase skid x member, so waiting to hear from him, guess I'll call him again tomorrow.

Fink. You are right, she's the first chick Thats been wheeling withe, and yes she along with erryone had a great time.
I love getting out and wheelin new trails, gives me a sense of adventure

and thank you for the compliments.

Patrick, looking forward to seeing all of your pics

BMC · 07-27-2009, 05:10 PM

Nice pics man. Looks like a good time. That bed bob is sick, good work.

BigBluePile · 07-27-2009, 05:36 PM

Now that WOULD be a roadtrip!!! LOL!!

Ah dang, I thought he had a skid for your body style?

desertcamper67 · 07-27-2009, 06:52 PM

Scuba, nice pics. Except one!

I'll get mine up soon. Not as quick as you with this stuff as you know.
I had a great time regardless of the damage. This is one trip I won't forget for a long time. The heat was definately getting to me while working on the axles. All in all it was a good trip but wish we could have gone further. Covered more trails.
Next time.

I'll need you to help me through getting you the video. Call me.

You guys were fun and that section where rocks were stacked, not to aid but to hinder Patrick's forward progress was hilarious. I wished I had audio of that. I don't think his girlfriend was scared, I think she was laughing her fanny off.

That guy with the Jeep was pretty awesome giving me that gear oil and for making that dropoff look easy although his rig was the tipsiest on it.

Thanks to everyone for their efforts yesterday. I couldn't believe what I was about to tackle when I made my decision. I couldn't have done it without you guys.

desertcamper67 · 07-27-2009, 07:26 PM

This is why we were so late.

Dave had 2 bummers yesterday to our 1

Steve's truck looking sexy

I like how the bob helps you off the rocks

I still need a little more room for the 33's

Patrick was all smiles all day.

Even when he got a little hot

The hills have my side marker

X2 on the excellent sleep last night Scuba. I slept until almost 9 which is 3 hours later than usual.
More later. I gotta get stuff out of my truck now that its cooler.

desertcamper67 · 07-27-2009, 10:15 PM

Getting my truck to level ground after the breakage.

I've got a lot of work in store for me

Our jack stands

Scuba doing what he can to help

the pinion gear is way worse. No good pictures of it. Its in the front housing for now. No axles or front drive shaft in until I can get the gears replaced and my Tru Trac back up front.

Filthy

front 3rd going into the rear

scuba · 07-27-2009, 11:23 PM

Had such a great time yesterday tony, Just so you know, I helped out as much as I could, did not at all feel like getting as dirty as you did, If we had a tarp I would have been all over it..

Logan, He does, I want the full set from front to Tcase though.. So im waiting to see if the xmember for the rear skid will fit.
Said there was no problem on Xcab/Dcab's..

Oh, And for the record this wasnt resting on the axle seal..

Tony, Working on getting vids up now..

desertcamper67 · 07-28-2009, 08:14 AM

In addition to my r&p and side marker, my tailgate only opens about 8 inches now and my check engine light came on on my way home from the run. I haven't checked out the code yet. It looks like the linear spring that helps the tailgate is off its guide and it seems the guide is missing or busted. Don't know yet.
Scuba I've been trying to send you that #2 many times and it always says attachment failed. Trying one last time now.

scuba · 07-28-2009, 08:32 AM

So what was up with your TG in the first place..? is that a new one or something..
Good luck with the CEL I guess, Ill be in Oside for an upcoming while so if you need an extra hand and im free just ask..

What exactly is #2 of..?
Of BTW, The videos open up in WMP with a double click, just click yes when it gives you the error..

desertcamper67 · 07-28-2009, 09:16 AM

Spare tire brackets have been bent and are more now. The area directly behind the spare is where the little cam type guide is mounted and this spring rides along the cam to slow the tailgate's movenent or make it feel lighter. ??? Anyways its been somewhat busted but worked fine for me but now I cant even let it all the way down. It will just hang there about a quarter way open. Once I take that spring off it should open up all the way. I'll need parts to get it right. Some hammering and maybe a piece welded on to the bottom of the bed and it should work great again.

Did you get that 2nd video?

scuba · 07-28-2009, 12:41 PM

Tony, Yes I got the second vid, it might be a little before I can get it uploaded

desertcamper67 · 07-28-2009, 02:33 PM

oops. double posted.
Removed double post

desertcamper67 · 07-28-2009, 03:02 PM

Here's a little more of the same

Thanks for the torque wrench Steve. I like to use it on the spindle every time.

Going together nicely. Paper towels just happened to be loftover from camping weeks ago. Now they are standard equipment in my truck. I don't know what I would have done without them this time. Greasy parts+dirt=troubles

The last wheel going on. So very happy.

On the trail again but struggling in 2wd.

Nice clearance Scuba

I got hung up on the same rock and got the strap. Not much left in me by this time.

The Jeep that showed us the way.

I love the bottle opener in front of the door.

Patrick no longer in the rear.

This was a fun little stretch

Steve waiting in case I need the strap again

but with good spotting

and determination

I didn't need it

Patrick getting poor help.

Thanks guys. Lets do it again soon. Well, when its a little cooler.

The end of a good day
