Definitely need to come back and go up bronco on the connector side. Going down had its fun parts, but did up and down in 2 WD for the majority of it.

My kids really liked it, and that's what counts.

LOL i went up most of it in 2wd a few weeks after I popped my front ball joint and pass. side shaft in two spots (one in the carrier) and drivers side in one spot. no, i was not wheel hopping it was about half way up. That one really steep spot with the rocks and bushes. you know?! in all seriousness though, its the spot where most everyone breaks. There's a bypass to the left coming up. Anyhow, i did the rest in 2wd easily enough.

 

[premoxj]

that's the spot there. (just saw the pictures). Cool pics Art!

 

[garrett83]

Great pics Art, thank you!

That's a fun spot going down hill. You get a bit light coming around that corner.

I don't think we will make it to superstition next month. Winter 4x4 Jambo, aka, winter on the rocks, is that weekend.

Is there a different Coral Canyon that's farther than 40 minutes from San Diego??

it's more than 40 minutes depending on where you live.... from north county it's more like an hour and a half. from the 8/15 intersection it's closer to 40-50 minutes

 

[1904-96xj]

Even at :59 minutes.... any wheelin spot that's an hour away or so is hardly a long drive. All I was sayin...

 

[XJensen]

Looked like fun. I miss it down there.

Are those new trails open yet? If so has any one been on them?

I ran 911a i think, just off gunslinger southside years back but the others were not complete

 

[rockclimber]

They are all open. I ran them all when they were first opened. Meh. Connector is still harder and the backside of bronco peak has more rocks.

You're an idiot rockclimber. 911 trails are great. There's a few more offshoots off Gunslinger now that are fun. We did them all at the SoCalXJ Jamboree last year. Might do em again this year, I dunno. Gunslighter is just a fire road though.

I didnt say they weren't fun. and I didn't say I wouldn't run them again. but they weren't hard and I think there are still better trails.

I got to see this Jeep at Higher Ground when I picked up my daughter's TJ after Jim did some work on it. That Jeep is aptly named.... Beautiful rig.

at 2:55, i like to come up from the drivers side then come up and over all that stuff on the passenger side with my drivers side tire that is shown better at 3:00.

Its a fun, not overly challenging trail. Those videos appear to be when they first cut the trail from the name and the time frame. Its a little diffent looking now
