The White Tank Mountains

[defibvt]

Hey all, I am new to this club but have a tad bit experience wheeling. LanceTKenyon and I are discussing offroading in the White Tanks on Nov. 3rd.

Not sure of the trails I will leave that up to Lance, my fearless leader.

[Silverback]

I'm interested. I can do up to a 4. Ladder is about the worst I've done out there. Are you intested in trail cruising, geocaching, or rock crawling? Which trails? Or just exploring up to the level of those who show up? I have GPS and maps of the area and know some of the trails.

[lancetkenyon]

Asylum?;)

[Woody]

Asylum?;)


I'd show up for that one!

Where is Ladder? Appetizer, Tax Collector, Tie Rod Wash, Landslide, Firebird, Ruler, Lower and Upper Scorpion, Asylum, Decapitator, Turtle Falls, Intimidator, Cliff Hanger, Oreo Canyon I have heard of though.

[Stoodty]

i might be up for this! just broke in new gears!

[defibvt]

I haven't heard of any of those. My two guide books don't list them either. The books I have are Backcountry Adventures by Peter Massey and Jeanne Wilson and Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails by Charles Wells. Do I need another book?

I am interested in trail riding, rock crawling. See the last page of the Howdy thread http://www.virtualjeepclub.com/showthread.php?t=12568&page=3 for description of how the Jeep is equipped. This run is to get it offroad and test it a bit to help see what direction I need to go to upgrade it. I honestly think it is capable of 2.5 to 3.5 trails. Of course, lockers are on the list of upgrades but I think that goes without saying.

[lancetkenyon]

These trails are not in a book. I have run most of them, except for Oreo and Asylum. I think I could make the big fall on Asylum though.:rolleyes:

Ladder is the section of rocks just past the firebird at the end of firebird. I think it is about a 4. I did it long ago with SKI4x4 and ended up breaking in my sliders pretty well with dents. I'm up for trying some of those you've listed. Haven't heard of several of those.

If I remember right the trail at the end of Firebird is Ruler. It is a rock garden.

[Wayco]

I'm in for this one if we can keep a leash on Lance. :D
I think Joe (Silverback) is talking about Ruler. Haven't done it, but I did upper Scorpion last time out and it was tough enough. Not sure an open/open rig should be in there....

[1eagle]

I am going to try and make this. I am doing a engine swap on my truck this weekend. So I have to see how everything goes.

[Kelly P]

I plan on making this one.

[defibvt]

Hey Guys, I am open/open. If it gets to tough I am not even going to be able to go. Sure I would love to ride b**ch and see what a well built Jeep can do but I really would like to wheel mine to see what it can do. :D

[lancetkenyon]

The wash/boulder garden at the end of Firebird is Ruler. I think we should run Tax Collector, Firebird, then Ruler.

[big jim]

Hey Lance where is Cliff Hanger at and what is it rated? (You can pm me if you want) I might be able to make this run if I get all my ***t done.

Jim

[big jim]

And Lance, I know about Cliff Hanger in Moab, I'm asking about your White Tank post....:D

Jim

[lancetkenyon]

Dude, what's the trail level on those? B.U.G.G.Y

5.5. Yes BUGGY. NO ONE has ever made the last fall, but a few have come real close. Until someone does, it will be a 5.5.

[Ted]

Im down for another WT Run what Kind of trails you planing on hitting I should have my lift on my then so ill be at 3.25in. and 33's Will I be alright?

[Silverback]

Ok, so my dementia has hit a little early. Ruler, ladder... they are both straight with lines... What time is show time? I'm glad to see who shows up and decide on trails as we meet.

[Heinz57]

These trails are not in a book. I have run most of them, except for Oreo and Asylum. I think I could make the big fall on Asylum though.:rolleyes:

Hey Lance, been looking for someone to go back out with me to run that fall. Sounds like you da man:eek:

I am letting Lance determine meet time and place. I can meet after 8:30 due to my wife's schedule.

[4X4Dude]

Hi all, I am new to the group. Where is the meeting spot for this run? I have never been to White Tanks.

I am waiting for lance to post up with an idea.

[xjstocker]

i think i can too:eek: lets do it:D
would this fall into the under-equiped rig section?

[lancetkenyon]

OK, meet at 8:30. Would like to go earlier, but since it is not my run, I will defer to meet then. Air down spot on Watson Rd, just north of i-10, where it turns to dirt, right hand side.

[lancetkenyon]

Hey Barry, if you think I can do it, besides the fall(I have a winch), lets do it.

I would have too but my wife doesn't get home until 0730. Let me see if I can get someone to watch my 10 month old son.
I am attempting to make alternate arrangements so we can get on the trail early. Thank you for your patience.

[jr4asu]

I would like to do this run with you guys, however this is tentative on my honeydo list

I guess I have time to plan if its for Nov. 3 Right?

Yes it is.

[lostoffroad]

hey barry and lance. im down to do asylum with you guys. walked it and cant wait to run it. been on almost every trail out there, lance you could probly do oreo but youll probly need a winch to keep the front down. i can drive it completely but im also 133" wb. oreo is a blast. but i want a bigger waterfall like asylum. im breakin the new gears in this week and then im good to go.

[probable cause]

i think i might be able to make this one also.

I have had to winch my front end down a couple times.:o Kind of used to it.

[lancetkenyon]

OK, folks, start times have changed. Meet at airdown spot at 7 AM, roll out at 7:30. Running Tax Collecter and Firebird, and if anyone else will go, Ruler afterwards. I have done Ruler with 33s, locked F/R is a minimum. 35s preferred. Body damage a possibility,

That works perfectly for me now that I have a sitter.

[big jim]

Hey Lance, I have a 8:00am appt. but should be able to get out there for Ruler, if you have a large group going it will take awhile to do Tax Collector, and Firebird I'll go straight to Ruler. I'll let you know if this changes.

What secret trail?:confused: You have run all the trails I have, the only new trail to me was one my son Jimmy ran last winter, and they couldn't get out the end. Very tall, off camber water fall. Cruiserjim has done it I'm sure. I'll see if he has anything to report.

[defibvt]

Put it on the calendar.

Decapitator.

[cruiserjim]

Ran it yesterday.

[big jim]

Decapitator.

I have only walked that one spotting for Jimmy. Fun little trail with a tree and a large rock to hang you up. With your taller tires the rock might not be a problem for you...:D

[TrailJockey]

I will be there if I can get the kids watched. I would like to get the front locker installed first so I can run Ruler but we'll see? If not there are plenty of other trails to run. I will post a definite or not going by Friday at the latest. Maybe I can finally get to wheel with ya Lance?

[06TJWRANGLER]

Alright Im ridding shotty with Lance!

[lancetkenyon]

A yellow Jeep run of Ruler!!! Me, Wayco, Trailjockey! Where is Gil T Azell, and James T?

[terron gregg]

Yep, I will let you know as soon as my wife decides what she is doing.

[terron gregg]

[lancetkenyon]

Here is a list for now, I would like to keep it under 10 rigs total.
There are a few tentatives, so post up if you are going to make it or not. And only a few of us are going to run Ruler. Dustin and I are going on a phishing trip after, so I will need at least 1 more capable rig to tag along...Wayco, Big Jim, 1eagle or Drewdog? Someone who can keep a secret.;)

I should have an open seat, and depending on the outcome to the Ruler run, (my jeep is still running) and we have time, I would like to go phishing too. :)

I should have an open seat

You will have an open seat, I'm going to make $$'s instead.






















and then you will owe me and I'll take payment by :eek::D:eek::D:D:)

[CooL_DaD]

I Wish I could Go , But my jeeps not ready yet....SOOON...

[defibvt]

A friend on another board asked this question. Is there an easy exit off this? I wouldn't be able to stay much past 1 or 2. Anyone got an answer?

[TrailJockey]

The only exits that I remember are at the end of Tax Collector before Firebird and at the end of Firebird before Ruler. I’m pretty sure once you start any of these trails you are committed; anyone correct me if I’m wrong. If the run starts at 7:30 and everything goes smooth (he he):D you shouldn’t have any problems getting out of there by 1-2pm.

[jr4asu]

I am a go... with my new 35's :D

[cruiserjim]

I'm tentitive,may skip tax collector and firebird and catch up for Ruler.

[terron gregg]

i was reading below that you might have an ope set if this is the case can i go with you

Is there a lot for tow rigs? Have there been break-ins? I'm trying to decide if I should just drive the Jeep...

[1eagle]

I have been parking over at the Lowes and Pets mart ( I think ) just south of the freeway. I park way off to the side so we do not effect any of the stores.

[lancetkenyon]

We are full! See everyone on Sat at 7 AM.

[Wayco]

Is there a lot for tow rigs? Have there been break-ins? I'm trying to decide if I should just drive the Jeep...

I have never heard of any problems there, but that doesn't mean that it can't happen. It is a busy street, lots of vehicles going by, and within sight of the subdivision. I have seen MC Sheriffs in the area on a regular basis too. Lots of room for tow rigs.....

[Ted]

Ill try to make it Hopefully Ill have my body lift done my then

[TrailJockey]

FREE to anyone who wants it at the run: Top Truck Challenge 2003. I have had this video on the site for a while in the free section but nobody wants to drive to get it so I will bring it and someone please take it. I watched it a couple of times and don’t see a need to watch it again so someone else can enjoy it. Let me know if you want dibs?

[DrewDog]

We are full! See everyone on Sat at 7 AM.

Lance,

You count Mike Ogden?.......................D

[probable cause]

count me as in for sure now...i will be there

Guys and Gals, due to unforseen circumstances I will not be going tomorrow. My father-in-law has been admitted to John C Lincoln Deer Valley for some ongoing heart problems. I am truly sorry since I am the one who originally posted up about this. Please go offroading and bend some sheetmetal for me since I can't. Thanks for all the interest and have fun.

[Kelly P]

Sorry to hear the news, you can go with us on the next one. Hope everything
turns well for your family.

[Silverback]

Gentlemen - a fantastic run. Thanks for showing me some new trails. I'd like to get back out again soon and do all of scorpion. Unfortunately I had no camera, so I'll just wait on your pictures.

[Wayco]

Just got back from White tanks, and I think everybody survived, although I left before we did upper Scorpion. Yellow jeeps seemed to be having the hardest time, Firebird claimed an MTR sidewall and my tie rod. Luckily, Lance had a spare for me, thanks Lance. We pulled the old one off and had the spare on like a pit stop, and went on to Ruler. First time for me, and it was slow going, I think we had seven rigs in there when Big Jim showed up. Lots of photo ops but I intentionally didn't bring a camera, so I could concentrate on driving. I'm sure there will be some folks posting up pic's soon.
After Ruler we went over to Scorpion and it was a blast after I got out of the way, lots of interesting lines that I had never seen done before. I had to spend some time bending the end of my exhaust pipe out so that I could make it home, when I got here, I noticed that Lance's tie rod is bent too! Two tie rods in one day, must be some kind of record.
Tom H. , when you get some time, PM me about your steering parts, looks like it will be going to Lance. I'm thinking a Currie rod might have to hold me over until I can afford a custom cross-over.....

[defibvt]

Wish I could have been there. Sure did want to wheel today.

[TomHatch]

Had a great time today. Ruler was a blast!! Lance, thanks for all the spotting. Wayne, I'll PM you.

[SHNIPE]

PIcs or none of it happened!

[big jim]

Well we got there just as they were starting Ruler, (first time for me on that trail) pulled in behind Drew and then the fun started. Up the trail we had some winching going, we had Mike and Roger, and Drew trying different lines, some worked some didn't. My son Jimmy came out with me as my spotter, I'm glad he was there, he made most of the trail easy for me..:D But not without some carnage, broke off left rear shock mount, lost my cool home made 8.8 skid plate some where :confused: and after a year of wheeling with my Poison Spider corners I finely scratched the paint...:D Went right up Upper Scorpion. Thanks Lance for a good run and it was nice to meet some new people, I had a great time, when I get some new shocks well have to do it again.

Jim

[Hardline]

You can have the custom cross-over for Christmas.

Um - what do I get? :D

Here is a hint:

[SHNIPE]

So what was the trail taht Dustin was talking about end up being? New or already run?

[lancetkenyon]

I did not get a single pic. Had a blast, ran TC, FB, Ruler, Scorpion, and a new trail I am trying to decide what to call. Dustin showed us where it was, and said if we made it, we could name it. It is WAY out there, and really short, but out of the 4 built rigs that ran it, only 2 of us(me included:D), made it up the main obstacle without a winch. Nothing real nasty, but a beyotch of a breakover. I bent my Currie tie rod, again. Not bad. Dustin got some cool pics and video today, so waiting on him to get them uploaded. It was Mikes(Probable Cause) first run, and he did great! He can listen to a spotter well. Quite an accomplishment to run Ruler on your first trip. For such a big group, we ran through TC and FB pretty quick, but Ruler took us a little longer. Not everyone ran Ruler, but some walked it with us. Ruler has changed a lot, the falls are smaller, but it seems the boulders have grown. Scorpion went real quick, not much carnage except for Wayne leaving the yellow paint on the wall. A couple tie rods, 1 tire, and a shock is pretty good for the trails we ran today. Had a lot of fun with some old friends, and met a few new ones too. Look forward to wheeling with the folks again.

[06TJWRANGLER]

Well I took over 100 pics today and about 10 video, thank god my battery didnt die it was on its last juice when we hit that breakover! Im uploading the pics and video right now as I speak through photobucket but you know how that crap is takes for ever! Some pics im gonna post but others might not be able to post on here to many F words including myself as well as others!:D I wanted to say though that I had a blast!! It was hella worth waking up at 6am to go wheeling thats for sure! Lance, thanks again for letting me tag along with you! Great to see some others Wayne, Roger, and the new ones I have met today! As soon as the pics upload I will be sure to upload them from start to finish. I only started to take pics at Ruler to the end of the day!:D

[lancetkenyon]

So what was the trail taht Dustin was talking about end up being? New or already run?

New one, but way out on the west side. Took about 1/2 hour to get there after we ran Scorpion. Only about 150' of obstacles, but fun anyway. Beats sitting in front of the puter web wheelin.;) Might call it "Halfazzed", cause only half of us got our azz up the fall.:D

Oh yeah for those of you who don't know, a bee was trying to start a new hive in my pants on Ruler and when I stuck my hand in my pocket it didn't like it to much. I forgot how bad those little bas tards hurt.

[JCSXJ]

Hey Wayne, if you need a tierod you're more than welcome to my old one. It's a sleeved stocker and is a little bent, but I'm sure we can straighten it out for you.

[1eagle]

I posted my pics in the other thread. Had a great time thanks to Lance for leading the bunch of misfits. Great bunch of people. See ya on the trails soon.

Nice shot Kelly, Mike and Virginia were real troopers, even followed Lance up that last part of Ruler!
http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff167/DustyTJ02/DSC01148.jpg

And whenever Dustin wants to ride shotgun, we should all encourage it, You did a great job documenting Ruler! I like this shot of Mike, right before we told him to keep his arm in:

06TJWRANGLER, great shots and nice video. I was laughing at all comments caught on tape :) Thanks again and lets get that TJ out next time!.......D

[TrailJockey]

Thanks for leading us around Lance. I would like to thank everyone for their help yesterday! I had a great time except for the tire slice.:mad: I must say that for being my first trip with the club I can’t wait to go again. I was a little apprehensive about going with the club but everyone was friendly and helpful. So if you’ve been thinking about going on a club run and haven’t; try it I highly recommend it!:D Here's the few pics i got.

Just want to say thanks to Lance for leading the way, had a blast on TC and Firebird. It was also nice meeting everyone, can wait to do it again. Next time I'll have to try Ruler.

Kelly, good seeing you, sorry for all that black exhaust. I'll try not to stall as much next time:D

Thanks everyone for the pics and video. We will do it again when I get back from Moab.

Looks like a great time! Dustin...yer Jeep would make that fall no problemo ;)

[TrailJockey]

Just thought I would show the damage from the run. The tire was apparent on the trail but the rock modified LCA mount on the front axle was a surprise today when I was crawling around under the jeep.:eek:
