Here is a link to the "close Coyote" petition. It was started by Kiley Miller, of course. http://www.change.org/petitions/the-bureau-of-land-management-keep-the-coyote-canyon-trail-closed It's interesting to see the list of people who signed it, and some of the ridiculous comments they posted.

I'll talk to the BLM next week and try to find out what this "other" petition is all about...

Rotohammer with a chisel bit works well.

We usually run Golden Spike backwards or Where Eagles Dare after Rusty Nail.

I'll be at BFE on Saturday and Rusty Nail on Sunday.

We had a couple of spies (maybe they were snipers???) watching us from the ridge above [/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG] I have a lot more pics, I'll try to get some more posted later.

Moab Friends-For-Wheelin' celebrated the re-opening of Coyote Canyon today with the first official run since it was closed in 2008! We had six capable rigs, and made it through without any real problems, although we did have to stack a rock or two for the smaller-tire rigs. The trail seemed...

James, the length of the upper arm won't matter, the pinion angle is fixed regarless of the upper arm length. The pinion angle change will be less with a longer lower arm than a short arm with the same shock travel, but at 52" your arms are already super long. My set-up works fine for me, but my...

Herzog is right on! Thank you AreaBFE for providing a fantastic place to wheel, and thank you for letting MFFW build the new trails!

Yeah, I do drive it to the trails, but overall it sees very few highway miles. Besides, any highway driving is 2wd with the hubs unlocked. Thank you everyone for the help. I went ahead and ordered some inexpensive USA Standard gears. I'm hoping I won't live to regret going the cheap route, but...

Thanks for the replies. I haven't done a lot of price shopping yet, but it seems like the Dana/Spicer gear sets are the most expensive ($365 at Randy's). I can find Yukons for around $250+, Nitro's at closer to $200, and USA Standard about $150. Right now, I'm thinking of going with the Nitro's...

Found a couple broken teeth on my front ring gear today, so I need to buy new gears. I'm wondering what brands people have had good luck with (or bad). Price is definately an issue for me, but I will spend a bit more if the quality is worth it. My set-up is waggy D44, 5.38's, Detroit, with...

Mike, glad you had a good time! I'd love to wheel in Washington again sometime, maybe I'll make it back one of these days.

Couple more...

Jim and I had an absolute blast at the Dirt Riot race! We ended up placing 3rd in the Modified Trail class, but a couple of stupid mistakes cost us second. My lunch slid forward and kicked the rear driveshaft disconnect lever out on Dropkick, which took us several minutes to diagnose. Then I...

Thanks for the video! Gary was trying to describe what happened, but it was hard to visualize. I'm not sure if there was anything wrong with the locker or not, but I do know that RockPile was a bear this weekend! Two weeks before safari we all climbed it uneventfully, but on Monday I rolled on...

Sorry, Lower Helldorado is on private property and will never be re-opened as long as the current owners own the property. We're talking about Upper from halfway between brakover and the waterfall.

In case anyone missed it from the old Coyote Canyon thread, we learned a couple months ago that Helldorado (between Breakover Rock and the Waterfall) is on BLM land, and was never officially recognized as a legal trail. In short, that meant that it was closed. Area BFE was prepared to put a...

We're still a few weeks from getting Coyote finished.
