I really only have a couple minor fixes/maintenance issues I need to take care of (inner axle seal leaks and replace steering stabilizer-weld. I have had zero time lately though.

I need to get out soon with everyone again and SB is a great place to start - we can break in Mike's runner out there too

I say we dump one of the May runs in favor of Sandy Beach.
Yes sir. I think we decided to dump the Sedona run because no one has shown any interest in it.

Too far, too easy and lack of quality scenery like only SB can offer! 3 strikes and its out.

We have May 2, or May 16. What works best for everyone. Also FYI, there is no way an IFS truck can make it. I am not going to air down my 38's so I get max clearance under the axles. It is that bad.

If you have an IFS truck or something on less than 35's you''ll have to ride along.

I'd be able to ride along if you guys go on May 2nd, I will be out of town May 16. That is one of my favorite trails.

Either one is fine with me. One benefit of the 16th would be that it would be warmer, so more people would most likely be out at the lake. But if the 2nd works out better for everyone, that's fine with me too.

How much would this suck without a 4.7 gear? I'm guessing a lot. I work the 2nd and and "might" be in the Canyon on the 16th. I'll keep an eye on this in case the canyon trip doesn't pan out.

There are some real technical rock gardens, with lots of sand. The rocks aren't exactly small either.





Without the low gearing I wouldn't recommend it. Lots of bumping, grinding and smoking clutch.

What happened to Pyeatte on the 2nd? Camping will be nice up there right now. I'd be interested in that. Hopefully I'll get my front end stuff replaced before.

Westy is your truck out of commission?

Truck works OK, but needs a front axle rebuild. Inner axle seals are leaking badly and I need to get a new mount made for the new steering stabilizer.
