The_Magicians_Eye Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Who wants to go 4 wheelin up the back road to Crown King on the 17th? Need to fix my truck before then but we plan on heading up early on the 17th taking our time taking pics and what not. Staying the night in crown king and then heading back down the same way we went up as long as nothing is broken on my ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
918pathy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 That would be fun, I will see if I can get the time off from work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 We got one interested. Anyone else interested in going? I'll be going over my truck from top to bottom here over the next two weeks to make sure I'm ready. Most likely will hit the JY this weekend to find some spare parts just in case. Truck is still running funny but I think I found it. Air filter was clogged and the mas are meter was dirty. I'll find out tomorrow if that does the trick. Cleaning the K&N right now.

KovemaN Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Any chance that you would move it to the 24th? I'm already planning on heading up that weekend, but I'm not sure about making the trip twice in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 918pathy what do you think? I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with my ride so an extra week isn't a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
918pathy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The 24th i might be able to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok let's plan for that date then. Koveman are you planning on camping out up there and coming back down the back road? I was thinking about renting one of those nicer cabins in CK so I can avoid hauling all my camping gear this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
918pathy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sounds good, I hope I can get the time off now. Koveman I still need to get with you and pick those rims, Let me know when it is convient for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balln Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Wish I could go with you guys!!!! I just picked up a pathy but I need some decent tires. I also want to install a tranny temp guage and cooler before I go wheeling. Take some pics please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERE is a directory for everything in CK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ok so I just called about renting a cabin. Everything in town is booked that weekend! Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 BTW thanks KovemaN for the hubs. Let me know about the steering and I may be ready to get that Wednesday when I get paid. Would be nice to have before I hit the trail again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 So I figured I'd try and send a group message to everyone interested in going but I couldn't figure out how to send a message to more than one person on here. Anyway we only have a week before this trip. KovemaN suggested we meet at a staging area around 8am - 9am. Put this into google maps and let me know if this is the staging area you were thinking about. 33.936288,-112.324404 I don't have a CB but I do have a set of two way radios. How about the rest of you? Who for sure will be going? The only way I'm not going is unless something catastrophic takes place between now and then. From the looks of it all the rooms in town are booked. KovemaN and I have rooms but unless you guys are lucky you may have to plan to camp out at one of the sites near town. That's free camping but it's first come first serve. If you've never been on this trail it's pretty rough while driving through the river rocks but all tough obstacles have a bypass. My buddy's stock Cherokee made it without a problem on all season tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the rest of you? That's the spot I was thinking of. If there is anyone that can't get a CB in time, I have a pair of handheld units that I will be bringing so we won't have to have a relay operator between FRS/GMRS and CB. After the storms this weekend the trail should be less dusty than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Got mine from 918pathy today. Thanks again buddy. Let's hope I can get it hooked up and working before Saturday. I'm going to install the MM hubs tonight. At some point this week I'll be taking back the wrong steering box that I got from the JY and getting another one. If I don't get it installed I'll just make sure I bring plenty of power steering fluid with me just in case lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert89 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I saw on the news tonight that the storm put 18 in of sow in Crown King. Should be melted by Saturday but it might be muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) I saw on the news tonight that the storm put 18 in of sow in Crown King. Should be melted by Saturday but it might be muddy. Sounds like fun lol. I could be wrong but I don't think the trail will be too bad. There was snow up by horse thief lake that was melting and had that road pretty muddy the last time I went up. Even if it's muddy we should be fine so long as no one does anything stupid. The obstacles should be interesting to say the least if their wet. I was wondering how much water will be in the rock beds. Just think, I was trying to plan this trip for this past Saturday. We'd have woke up to that mess on Sunday morning if we went then. Edited March 21, 2012 by The_Magicians_Eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KovemaN Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm putting my mud tires on. The trail to Horsethief Basin will not defeat me this time. I was up there two years ago and had to turn around half way in because the ruts were too deep and my 32" A/Ts were too warn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 KovemaN who else is going? You said you has some buddies heading up too. Anyone from the other Nissan sites? What are they driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
