April 27th Box Canyon near Florence

[GoodAScoolwhip]

Looks like 4xnaz is going to do Terminator, but for anyone who wants to do something less difficult, I'm looking to go out to Box Canyon 4/27. Meeting at the turnoff from 79 onto Cottonwood Canyon Rd, driving down thru the canyon to Price Rd back to 79.

*A State Trust Land permit is required to ride in this area. Call 602-364-2753 for details.

If mine ever gets out of the shop im in. My wife is actually going to Rocky Point so I was planning for a trail run anyway. All my skids are in, so as soon as the dealership gets my parts in Doetsch will be doing the other installs.

As of now my cooling issues are fixed, they are just working on the new steering parts.

Was notified yesterday they are now waiting on a new design stabilizer that has to be installed before the factory rep will let the dealership release it back to me. As of now eta is the week of the 22nd. If this is done, I would love to go. (Will make this dealer visit over a month lol)

I have the day clear, if I have it back in 100% in. I hope to have my new wheels and tires before then as well. My skids won't be on so I don't want to go too crazy, but should be a lot of fun. My winch is also set to arrive on the 24th, so more stuff to test out.

Well, Regional tech rep for Jeep decided to authorize the Fox heavy duty dampener instead of waiting for the new factory one. Got the Jeep back today, so hope to be all good to go. It does seem to pull to the right now, and others have noted that with the Fox also but going to give it time to settle in.

If you are still going, I should be good.

I could not deal with the pulling right, and it seemed from all I could find that the dealership put the stabilizer on the wrong way so at midnight I got up and swapped it. Took it for a good 45min drive on the highway and some gravel back roads and no issues. No more pulling to the right at all.

So it appears that I am back in business. I am going to try and get the Undercloak and rock sliders on early next week, but either way if there is a trail run I am in. Also hoping to get my new warn winch on before as well. If stars Alain my new wheels and tires will also be on, but with that I am just being greedy lol.

We can coordinate on here or via IM prior if you would like some company.

Yeah, all I can do is laugh that it happened. My wife drove to flagstaff today so we will have a good sense on how the repairs were for highway driving, but it is much better around town.

I am good for 4/27 still. As we get closer we can see who else can make it. Should be a fun day.

Cool, I posted this run on the FB group I created and there seems to be a few people interested. Should be a fun day.

Big thanks to @GoodAScoolwhip for the idea and planning.

Tomorrow's weather is looking perfect (maybe a little warm) with no rain in the forecast so should be good in the canyon. If we take the lower route.

Look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow, and for those who were on the fence, it should be a fun day. Great idea for a run @GoodAScoolwhip .

You guys still meeting up at 7:00am? I'd live to go but that is a damn early call time for a lazy Saturday .
