I would really like to go.  Will probably still be in MT but could make a trip down just to join up.  Please sign me up as a tentative.

Peace & Grace

Sweet!

I ran the trial from Buckhorn to Bradshaw grave and just back another way to Buckhorn today. The desert is starting to bloom so it is a good time to be out.

I am interested. Bring anything?

Good,  I haven't thought of any group sharing so just your personal needs. Social Distancing!

Forty plus miles round trip through the Bradshaw Mountians to Isaac Bradshaw's grave.

Mostly easy with a few moderate stretches.

Meet up in the Cowboy Cooking cafe parking lot on the east end of Wickenburg to leave at 8:30 AM

We'll go out Constellation Road and Buckhorn Road, then by trail to the grave site.

We can then decide whether to go on to Copperopolis and out Castle Creek or return to Constellation Road by a different trail.

If we go out Castle Creek we will connect with Buckhorn Road and then can return to Constellation Road, or go out Castle Hot Springs Road to either Lake Pleasant or Morristown.

All the usual food and vehicle requirements

I would like to plan on going but it will depend on Joyce's recovery from knee/leg surgery if I can be gone overnight.  The latest weekend would probably be best but it may not matter.

So does the whole she-bang slide out on a the same tray the fridge is mounted to?     Looks like an  interesting solution...  

Yes, I also built a dog house for the fridge so it can slide out if stuff is stored on top of it.

After a month or so's work, here is what we did:

Front axle: truss, C gussets, sleeves, chromoly shafts, high steer knuckles, rotors, calipers, Warn lock out hubs.

Cross over steering with hiem jointed drag link, tie rod, & track bar.

Adjustable lower front control arms.

Rear axle: Eaton E-locker (original stock locker was shedding teeth), chromoly shafts, rotors, calipers.

17" wheels and tires.

Whew! Now it gets to set until we get back next fall to test it out.

Well, gave it a good test last year, transfer case ate a bearing that ate the case so now it has an Atlas transfer case and Tom Woods drive shafts.

I think I will be able to get away for the day so please sign me up.

I was there in 2018 & would like to attend again. 

Atlas transfer case installed.

We ran it in one long day because we could not get camping permits. Potash road is just that, a road to Moab.

I would be interested and would probably camp in the park.

Thanks to everyone for a great trip and pictures.

Thanks for the info. Guess we'll wait another year before going.

Thanks for a great trip and good pictures. My guess is the "blow by" is a 1949 or so Chevrolet sedan.

let's meetup at noon at the Freconia rd. exit still, but on Sunday instead of Saturday... then we can probably do all the trails together and be home Tuesday evening.

 

does that work for both of you?

Sounds good to me. Thanks for re-organizing the trip.

Hi Elkpkr,

 

Can you please confirm you are going? I need to know for sure because if you can't me and theksmith will depart Sunday morning. ty

Sunday morning would be OK with me too.

I would still like to camp out.

Sorry Man, I threw both away during spring cleaning this year.

Curious to see how things work for you. I have the same rig, still mostly stock.

Currently, I am waiting on Savvy under armor, which is back-ordered. Can't wait to rid myself of the factory shovel!

So far, so good. No wobble at any speed over bumps on the highway with NO stabilizer. I think highsteer and getting rid of the unit bearings are the best mods . If I had it to do over I think I would just buy a Dynatrac or G2 front axle instead of modifying the stock. I need to replace the beat up skid plate so let me know how the Savvy works out.

Your Currie steering is a great set up. Don't know way your shop is recommending crossover setup because steering and death wobble are two different issues. Keep your Currie setup and sell it.

yea, but I bent the low tie rod on both of the last two trips so am changing to a high mount cross over.
