A couple pics from cleghorn..

So today was my shakedown for the 33's..
WOW was that baller !!
with a rear locker and 31's and this trail was fun, With a rear locker and 33's it was slightly hard but FUN!!
I normally take the easy lines through all the sections, but today I made it hard on myself and took the hard lines..
Didnt have a spotter half the time to boot

On to the report, Ill warn you now I only have cell phone shots and not many good ones at that..
But everyone here loves pics so onto the report:

Not even 10 mins into the run, Poy in his 91 Pickup broke an outter tie rod, There was a parts store 20 mins away so we piled into my buddys jeep wrangler and got one and got back to the trail..

Random rock


Just chillin


My new wheelin buddy, Spunky
















Thats about all I got, I warned you

Hell yea bro, I went all the way through the first squeeze, Only got caught on my rear pumpkin once, stacked a couple rocks and I was over it like a champ..
Then I didnt have a spotter most of the day, Which Im still wondering how I did that..

I took all the hardest lines, I think 33's are going to get me in trouble..

Sounds like everyone here knows Cleghorn really good. Can anyone give me a good link to how to get there, which trails to take, etc, etc.

BTW: 90 Toyota Pickup, SAS, 35" Mud Terrains, Lockers. I would like to know about some of the challenging parts.

Before I start FYI: This trail will not be challenging for you..

There will maybe be one or 2 spots that take a little thought, Thats about it.

With that said, Its basically 2 roads, 1 a fire road 1 the trail, They intersect over 1/4 mile for the whole 14ish miles..
There is one spot, very close to the end of the trail, If you pass a 5 foot tall cement poll, make the next left ish U-ey down the hill from that and go back up, once you go up that slightly challenging spot go back down for some pucker factor.

You can read about it and many other trails here..

If you ever just want a quick day run LMK and ill show you around up there..
