Corral Canyon - 5/25

[Craigger]

Anyone interested in hitting Corral Canyon on Saturday, 5/25? This is Memorial Day weekend. I'm planning on hitting Bronco Peak and Sidewinder. Sidewinder is rated a 7 and Bronco Peak is an 8 so I would suggest 37s and lockers. From what I'm reading, expect pinstriping at the very least and keep in mind that I tend to do stupid stuff in my Jeep .

On the more difficult side but I'll have to do more research on mandatory vs. optional obstacles.

Maybe if I can get away two weekends in a row. Got a pin so I can figure where in the hell it is and how far I gotta drive.

And is it stupid stuff or fun stuff? Of course those aren't exclusive of each other.

This sounds fun, sign me up! I just got back from big bear and noticed some vibration at highway speeds. Scheduled an inspection this week, so hopefully it's just a tire balance issue. So long as that's squared away by the 25th, I'm down.

Well, when I do stupid stuff it's 99% fun. So 99% fun (but 100% stupid).

Awesome! Should be a fun time.

If you were scraping your bottom a bunch at big bear, there's a possibility that it may be your driveshaft, but your inspection should be able to determine that. Hopefully just some mud in the wheel or maybe you knocked off a wheel weight.

You can always order a new set of Tom Woods driveshafts just to be sure ?

Inspect the drive shaft. The ends have aluminum and are extremely easy to bend. I had a drive shaft causing vibrations after the clutch recall found the problem within a few mins of looking under the Jeep. Ordered a new JE Reel drive shaft and it’s been good since

I’ve been waiting to do side wonder but will be on my Jeep trip to Sedona until the 28th

Meetup point would probably be here or somewhere close: 32.72477162182822, -116.55927839770034

I'm thinking Sidewinder, then Bronco Peak.

Yeah, I have a Tom Woods front driveshaft, but still rocking the stock rear. Not ruling anything out, but with the surrounding skidplates and no visible damage to the rear driveshaft, I think it's unlikely. I see some ripped up residue where some wheel weights used to be so I am hoping that's the issue. That said I did bonk my driver-side rear LCA skid pretty good, so much that it deformed.

Stock Rear Driveshaft, no visible damage

Driver rear LCA skid plate damaged

Passenger rear LCA skid plate for comparison

37’s but I am not even a year into my 35’s

I’m watching some videos on them to see if I can tag along.

Crawled underneath before my scheduled inspection tomorrow and I am pretty sure I found the culprit to my highway vibrations. A torn drag link/pitman arm boot.
