i went to go see what everybody was talkin about ..and this is what i found.

a view looking at mt.high (socal people know)


looking over silverwood lake














here are some more pics from cleghorn in california

my runner showing some swagger



trust me it looked steeper than this lookiing at it from both ends



the runner pushing it hard as it can.... now i know it can go anywhere



after a hard day of work... we have a chance to relax and look at the scenery

 

dude.....I was up there too today. I was rolling with the pathfinders since Pat never showed up. What time did you hit the trail?

We left the trail head at 10AM.

Here's my pics from today:





























Oh yeah....I was wondering why my truck wasn't riding right on the way back to the freeway....looks like I inverted my rear shackle. I jacked it up with a high lift, used a 3' breaker bar to bend it back into place, then lowered the truck. It kinda went back into position. I climbed onto my sliders and rocked it back and forth and it eventually settled into position. I was worried for a moment that I had really bent the springs.

 

Looks like a good time....those are some sweet Pathy's!!

 

wish i could have gone... i would have been absolutely miserable on the trail tho.


awesome pics, some of those nissan guys are CRAZY!!! hope you all had fun. cant wait for the 24th.

 

Do you know what your static shackle angle is?

I want to move my shackle mounts back to get a more vert angle.

BUT... I want to avoid the invert problem.


The Pathy's look good. Did any of 'em break?

 

LOL... second funniest thing ive seen all day.

funniest was: driving back to school, someone was on the side of the road picking up pieces of furniture that flew off the back of their truck. this lady was wearing not so flattering grey pants.... looked like a baby elephant. funniest thing today!

but i digress. i dont see any pics of where i got stuck... i went and bought a new recovery strap (no hooks, just loops) and an air compressor. ill get to use them the 24th!!!!

 

jason why are you work on your front end in 2 of the pics?

 

I never got my driveshaft lengthened after moving my axle forward....so at full droop on the passenger side, it falls apart. Only happened on this gnarly line I tried. Same thing happened to one of the pathfinders later on down the trail

 

Jim,

I'm not sure exactly what it is....i'll PM you some pics when I get a chance to snap a couple.

One of the Pathfinders had the same problem I did.....front drive shaft not long enough. Other than that, no breakage. Only damage the group incurred was new pinstripes on the paint.

 

Sweet pics...Thanks for sharing. But you gotta show more pics of the PF guys workin on their junk on none of you workin on yours?

 

My fault guys...I got in a car accident early Sunday morning heading to the trail. On the 105/605 some idiot merged into me and bent my right rear wheel. I almost flipped too because my front swaybar was already disconnected. I don't have a full size spare so I couldn't make it. Stupid me forgot to get all your phone numbers off the internet. I planned the run too and wasn't able to make it, I was bummed.

Did that IFS pathfinder make it through the ditch?

 

haha, whatever works, right? nice pics

 

jeeze man, glad you are ok!!! so just the damage to the wheel? lucky!

have to do it another time man!

 

is that cleghorn creek-nocal or cleghorn mountian-socal

 

Awesome photos!

 

socal, San Bernardino mountains.

 

sure would be nice to live close to some good wheelin, or to have a rig like jsnby!

Great pics! Love the scenery but the 4runner is even better. jsnby, you have one bad ass looking 4runner!

 

thanks man!

 

WOW! 4runners look so much better than thoes pathfinders IMO! looks like a good time tho

 

So one of the guys I went with hooked me up with a boatload of pictures....162 to be exact....enjoy
