coyote camping does that mean going up the lower coyote canyon? If so I guess we will have to see how much rain we get around that weekend as it has two creek crossings (time to extend my diff breather)

I am interested. I had a lot of fun at Ocotillo so going back there is cool with me. Superstition I've never been to and it sounds like there's something for everyone there as well. Dec. 11th I am unsure about but I'll keep an eye out on this thread.
Count me in as a "maybe".
I've gt lots of new toys on the truck that need some love. CB, front and rear bumpers, manual hubs....

I was interested til my truck was rear ended by an isuzu trooper last week but that still didnt stop me from making it to last saturdays ttora joshua tree run . Its in the shop at the moment and about 2k damage. I'm tearing up a rental trailblazer right now and wont get my truck in a week or two. I was hurt bad... emotionally that is..

my rear bumper is sitting in my garage right now so i'm abit bare in the rear.
working on bujlding a new rear so that'll be awhile. plus i gotta move in 2 weeks so i'm abit freaked out and space is very limited..
likelihood that i'll be able to go is slim to nill at the moment guess i gotta get my 4runner trail worthy before i head out on the trails again.... sorry guys....

I may be tearing out my front diff Thanksgiving weekend, if I do I doubt I'll have it back in before the run. My ARB locker sprung an air leak internally during the Moab trip and I have a slight coolant leak that I need to fix soon as well.

Why are you guys taking apart your trucks at the start of desert season
I am still open to go the weekend before, but we need to pick the weekend and the place and start planning.
Lance put the bumper back on and get down here!!

I definately cannot go on the December 4th -5th weekend and I'm still a "maybe" for December 11th-12th.

Guess it's back to working on my bumper so atleast I can be decently covered
Maybe i can drive the 40 own there? (yikes!)

I'm hunting around for all the GPS coordinates I can find for Ocotillo Wells, yeah kind of bored. I've just reinstalled my MapSource software and am playing around.
I was actually thinking of going out there sometime this coming week and just wandering around for the day in Anza or Ocotillo.
So far I've found a couple that seem credible:

Tomorrow, I'll see about pulling my diff, so I can order up the parts. Fortunately I have a few spare outer axle stubs to install..... I guess I'll be running 2wd for a few weeks...... Then I need to locate the coolant leak and fix that as well......
