Bed bob wouldn't have prevented that damage. I do like when they have a bit taken out of them, not too much though.

Looks like you need some quick disco mud flaps, and to trim up that exhaust pipe.

Hey Ozzie and Scuba, whenever you guys do get the idea to go on a nearby run let me know. I want to check out some new areas.

Any other San Diegans down?

I'm in.

I told myself that I wouldn't do Bronco Peak again until I got dual T cases. But at that time I went without another vehicle and it took hours to go a couple of miles. It started getting cold and we finished in the dark using a flashlight for spotting and I had to keep my headlights off so that my spotter could see the tires and trail in front of me.

If my buddy ever gets his Heep back from the builder he'll be down for a run.

I was planning on running Corral Canyon next weekend, either the 25th or 26th to test out my new manual hubs and rear locker before Big Bear the weekend after. I'd be up to run Bronco Peak (not the connector until I get a front locker), Bronco Flats and Sidewinder. If I have time I was hoping to hit Carvacre, AKA Pancake Rock also. It's probably 10 miles away from Corral Canyon. Let me know!

I think I can swing that weekend. I don't know anything about the last trail you mentioned.

I have no rear bumper at this time and would like to keep my tailgate working. Other than that I'm down.

I really need to get something back there.

Scuba, I've ran them a few times. The first time I ran the trail I had almost bald 31" BFG ATs, open differentials and a rear marlin crawler bumper. With your 33s, a rear locker and IFS that flexes better then mine, I think you should be alright.

Desert Camper, Carvacre is a little unknown trail a few miles south of Corral Canyon. It's not part of any OHV area, but it's a fun trail with a "mini-moab" up at the top.

Let me know if you guys can make it and maybe we can put a run together.
