Not that it really makes any diff but my 285's will be here Fri and the LC rims on Tues so should have this stuff mounted for the Carvacre run.

Yeah - those pictures are right on the money. I remember that big boulder in pic 3 from my hike. I guess in the end it comes down to driving skills.

I'll try to make it. It looks fun. No sand, I'm good.

hytech_redneck

i dont have lockers and im runnin on a spare i may just have to pass on this trip. i want to go but those obstacles look tough for a spare. i may need to wait untill after i get my new tires. i should be ok in a month or so. sorry guys have fun!

I'm thinking that 4x4 is a necesity for this trail. And a locker would be very much recommended. It's gonna be hairy now....Unless trail maintenance has been done. I did it once like ayear ago with these guys and it was pretty tough then, I thought. I had just gotten my locker.

Not sure if I can make it that weekend. My boyfriend and his mom are having a candle party and I have to get all the tea lights and massage oils ready.

Carveacre is not a 2wd friendly trail..sorry Cesar. If you want to go, you can ride with me.

99runner4me

I might just have to do that. Thanks for the offer, Marc.

Is this the same place where we met you guys at on the way back or was that Corral Canyon?

Tanto

That was Corral Canyon, Cesear. I'm probably going to hit that up on my way back if I have the time.

TJMatt

I did the thing a while back with no locker and 29 inch tires with you guys when i had the heep. I can be done.

Hey, I noticed you're from Pasadena. Closest place to do some offroading is Azusa Canyon. Have you been down there? That used to be the Mecca for offroading back in the day. That's a quick jaunt from Pasadena.

Patsawasy

yeah thats my usual stomping grounds. i used to live at the base of the canyon so i would spend a few hours on saturdays before work. it was closed most of the fall because of all the rains. its better now. it just tends to get crowded on some days. for anyone, if you go on the national parks web site, they have "county days" where admission is free to the canyon. just be carefull, theres only one entrance and exit. and bad drives tend to get stuck in the river. one time i had to wait for two hours to get out.

i think i might be in for either day just depends on what the wife has going on but i think i will able to go. corral canyon or carveacre sounds good to me. carveacre can be done without a locker but your life will be alot easier with one.... but 2wd on carveacre sounds like a long day pulling with a strap.

RobT2k

before last year and all the heavy rains that changed the trail, I ran the trail in 2wd and my rear locker.
I was checking if my buddy with a locked 2wd could do it, and he did.

I don't know now, since the rains really did make it alot more interesting.

wifesaysimadumbass

so i have'nt figured it out yet are we going to corral canyon or carveacre?

ecchamberlin

I thought we switched to Carvacre. It does not matter to me at we are in for either. I may do both if we get through one quick enough.

Marc P

I am up for Carveacre..Eric and Ryan have not done it yet. Matt has not done it in his new rig. After the recent rains it will be interesting. Maybe we can take that offshoot the left after Pancake rock?

Tanto

Carveacre, guys. Corral Canyon is for dessert.

wifesaysimadumbass

carveacre it is then

Sleeper

I'm down for Carveacre. How does 9:00 at Carls sound?

Tanto

it's fine with me. I'd like to let a few more people chime in to see if that's good, though.

I want to see how durable my rocker panels are now!
