February 27, 200719 yr well i and one or 2 other yuma 4 wheelers are going to superstition mountains ohv area on the outskirts of el centro, ca. it's about 13,300 acres. everything from sand dunes to rocks, easy to most difficult. camping is primitive. anyone going to come?
February 27, 200719 yr mmm... I think I am game, have to check w/other 1/2 and then decide which soob to take. This would be a good shakedown trip for the BRAT. But OBS is more reliable. We'll see.. BW
March 2, 200719 yr Author plenty of sand and there's some rocky trails we'll be scouting also. bring the brat, it's got a lift right?
March 3, 200719 yr I might have to go in a Jeep if I can't get my axles and driveshaft done for the brat before then.... but I think I could use some good primitive camping.

March 7, 200719 yr plenty of sand and there's some rocky trails we'll be scouting also. bring the brat, it's got a lift right? The lift is almost done. I have to iron out some remaining issues and get it started. BW
March 13, 200719 yr Author The lift is almost done. I have to iron out some remaining issues and get it started. BW well changed to mid april. do to the fact that i'm having trouble finding an end piece for the mustach bar. it tore through.
March 13, 200719 yr mid april works a lot better. I am having problems with the camber and I have decide to go with custom control arm. Have a friend who can TIG helping me out. We are kicking around some pretty sweet ideas here in SOCAL. Like long travel rear trailing arms and stuff. Most of our terrain here is rolling dunes and desert so articulation and low gearing is not a must. Suspension travel for Bajaing is what is needed. BW

BW easter weekend, should be a good weekend. april 6th to the morning of the 8th. superstition mountains. i'll try to post directions tomorrow. i got a map with directions from the I8. hope to meet you and see you there. i'll probably bring one more rig or 2 from yuma.some of the trails may be difficult runs. i don't know about bypasses on on of the trails. the rest should be fine with a mildly modified subaru.
March 29, 200719 yr Still have not found anyone to do my axles yet. I really doubt the brat will be ready in a week. I still want to take the Jeep. Hope the wifey is okay with going since I have to go to phx this weekend with her.
