Hackberry doesn't have bypass trails. I'd say lockers and 33 minimum.
I'm down with axle swap. Had to order a new flex joint for my front upper control arm mount at pumpkin. Got rear axle done
2004 lj dana 44, trussed,artec lower control arm bracket, moved shock mounts out. 4.56 yukon gears. Pc1p put gears in.
Yep, that would work! If you meet at the entrance around 10:20-10:30, you should be there right when we all get there.
Sorry guys, looks like I'm going to have to bow out on this one. The Rona fairy decided to visit our house with the wife and I both testing positive.
Post up some pics. Hope to see you on the next one!

Ha thanks! It's actually not been any worse than a mild cold. We're both fine, just have to finish the quarantine period to make sure we don't pass along to others unknowingly.
Sorry for the late info here - I meant to type this up yesterday but simply forgot!
Just a reminder for those going (and possibly a clarification) - we are meeting at the Power Road Park-&-Ride at 9:45-10AM then heading towards the Pobrecito entrance. We should be at the Pobrecito entrance right around 10:20-10:30, depending on lake traffic and how many BroDozers we have to deal with.
If you are meeting us at the Pobrecito/Rolls OHV staging area, please meet in the dirt staging area and NOT the parking lot. The parking lot is crowded and trafficy at times. Since we will want to air down anyways, it just makes sense to do that in the dirt. The staging area is found here:
This brings us right to TR# 13 and 1804. We can decide what and where to go from here! Speaking of airing down, this is soft sand and crushed granite. Air down as low as you're comfortable with - 8 psig isn't a terrible option here. There are some washes that this will help take the bumps out of and generally make it more comfortable in the washes/washboard roads.
Also, there aren't many technically challenging rocky outcrops like most other trails in the valley. There are some fun climbs however, so this is an excellent opportunity to practice some "low risk" climbing as you're way less likely to get some body damage here. In general, the trails follow the ridgelines of the mountains, and the fun areas are in the saddles and valleys between the peaks.
The recent fires may have scarred a lot of the mountain, which can be interesting to see as well. There are a handful of areas between the trails that we can explore as long as they aren't marked off and/or closed. The fire damage has closed off some areas between the established trails but I have not yet been able to confirm which areas.
I have printed off the TNF Executive Order and map, plus I recently downloaded AllTrails and their subscription to make sure we stay off closed trails (per the posted EO). There are some good climbs and descents, though they don't have much camber so it's a good way for new riders to get a "feel" for hills in general. There are some washouts that are fun to climb and wheel and we can spend as much or as little time there as we want.
I suggest we also hit up Cove #2 and #3 - these are fun summer-time retreats, especially Cove #3. Cove #2 can be reached by cars most days of the year but Cove #3 usually needs a 4WD (or capable 2WD), which means there is rarely anybody there. With the fire closure map I'm looking at right now, there won't likely be many cars at Cove #3 in the future due to TR# 1343 being closed from the Four Peaks entrance (which is how most cars come into the Coves; 4x4 can come from anywhere).

We had it. My wife and daughter got it like a normal flu with a high fever, body aches, etc.
Me and the other kids though, it was just like a mild cold.
Yeah, really minor here. Neither of us had more than mild body aches, congestion, one day of a mild fever and a little fatigue. Over the symptoms in 2-3 days. Last few days of quarantine, then we should get a hall pass to throw caution to the wind
Im still on a lockdown also. My results came back negative but because i was around a guy who popped positive i still have to wait untill Monday.Yeah, really minor here.
