- 83' CJ7-35's, granny T18, clocked, locked, 456s, D30 20 trussed- stitched-heim traction-1 piece shafts, CV dshaft, quick discos, xtended shock mounts, SOA, revolvers rear, braided lines, herculined, hand throttle, AMC saddle bags, rebuilt 258, D300.
Since I was unfortunate enough to not make the Jeep-CJ run and needed some stress relief, I ran "CK".
I would venture to say this is the most popular run in Arizona as it offers the opportunity for both a pleasure (4wd) run and as a moderate rock trail (optional lines).
The run begins behind Lake Pleasant, Pleasant is the Phoenix water source that is filled by a canal from the Colorado river and another called the Agua Fria.
It begins on the back side of the lake where the pavement ends and the road leads to the town of Crown King approximately 30 miles up the hill in the pines (yes, there are pines less than 2 hours N or Phoenix
) Group runs of this size are 5 hrs or so with obstacles and some breaks.
The pics I am posting are from various members of the run that are on my local site so I can try and show a decent feel of the trail....of course I included the CJ's I came across ;-)
There is a sign up and the groups run every hour on the hour beginning at 5 a.m. until 10 a.m. The total this year was approx 115 Jeeps of all types with a few others in the mix. I was in the 7 a.m. and there were about 22ish Jeeps....
