The trail indeed does have some sections and obstacles that would interest everyone in the AZ Crew, and then some. If you are not used to doing a trail with obstacles, do not go alone. There was a lot of traffic at first, but it thinned out later, particularly after the 'picnic area', so we had a pretty clean run as far as "others." You do need to be aware that it is a popular trail, though, and expect to have fast runners like dirt bikes, quads and side-by-sides coming from either direction.
My compliments to WrenchWench, both for driving and in spotting for me. Not a scratch was had on either vehicle that means anything. And that's saying a lot for the Wench's being able to drive this trail on stock BFG Long Trails in a stock Chevy Blazer, circa early 2000's. I couldn't have done it. I even went ahead and lit up the locker for a few sections. I'm that bad at it, and way out of practice, but this SR is very confidence inspiring.
Next?

Just curious, was it windy as all get out , out there today?
It's been really unusually <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> windy here, in fact I normally don't suffer from allergies, but today, it's been a challenge.
JB, the old girl still has alot of trails to run, and I'm glad it's working well for you. I "may" be picking up an '04 "soon..." we'll see how it goes. Anyhow, I'll be looking forward to getting out a little when the time comes.

Paul, the body lift was a really good idea for the Crown King run. I would've added a lot more character to the rockers if I hadn't put it in. It wasn't very windy on Saturday, but any cross wind at all makes this truck kind of a handful to drive on the freeway. I took it on my 500 mile trip Wednesday - Friday and was battling the winds the whole way. Keeps you on your toes.
Just a thought, we don't necessarily need LordTrunks to do a run next weekend...
