Trip Report – Corral Canyon Reported by Tuvia Pomeranitz We left for Corral Canyon on Friday afternoon, and it only took us 5 hours to get there. We were greeted by Chips and Christa, Snoopy, Toni and Tatiana, Nathan and his son, Jonathan, the Lykins, and guests Jerry and Dennis. We had dinner, sat around the fire no lies and no jokes and went to bed.

It was brutally hot! 8:55am on Saturday morning found us at the driver's meeting. Due to the rain, it took place under the Snoops' awning. This run had 3 Ham radio operators and the radio check took a littler longer than usual.

We left camp on our way to run Gunslinger, and no more than 10 minutes into our drive Stanley's first tire slashed its own side wall, as there were no Rocks or any other sharp objects to blame it on in sight.

Nothing that 5 Plugs couldn't fix.... and then we were on our way again. It took only one U turn & we found ourselves on Gunslinger. No more than 10 Minutes into the trail Stanley's second tire got slashed. This time there were some rocks around and the blame fell on a tree branch. The tire was replaced at the speed of lightning and we were on our way once again. Well, I had just got back into my Jeep & the CB announced that Stanley slashed yet another tire, no more than 30 feet away. Again nothing that 5 plugs couldn't fix, and we were on our way.

Our Guest Jerry developed some power steering problems, so our leader decided to go back to camp. On our way to camp we ran the Bronco Flats Trail that was actually more challenging than Gunslinger, since Stanley lost air pressure on his Plug jobs only once, so we were at camp for lunch on time.

While I was taking my time and enjoying my lunch, Chips got an adrenaline rush and took off with a group of plugs and power steering problems towards the Sidewinder Trail. I'm sure they had a great time, while I savored my meal and wandered around with Snoop to explore Bronco Peak. We were back in time for a nap, dinner and the campfire.

On Sunday morning, everyone fled camp early so my Son and I decided to check out the view on Mt. Piños. While we enjoyed the view, the lookout on the watchtower invited us to join him. Norm works for the Forest Service and spends 5 days & nights at the tower watching for Fires, illegals, and any other activity-taking place in the area. He is a Veteran that had been on two tours in Vietnam, a very interesting person with a lot of stories to tell. He told us how he differentiates at night between a Fire and a Coleman inside a Tent. We spent 45 minutes with him and it sure made our day. We didn't leave without signing his Guest Book. Norm also told us that there are no HAM repeaters on the mountain, but to my surprise I was able to pick up the Keller Repeater located next to Big Bear, signal and talked to a HAM operator in Sun City (Moreno Valley). The Keller Repeater is about 100 Miles away! We left at noon on an eventless drive home.

MAKING YOUR RIG ROAD WORTHY AFTER A DAY IN THE DIRT by Jay Kopycinski featured in DIRT SPORTS + Off-Road August 2015 How often have you seen someone come off the dirt and hit the payment headed home at highway speeds without even a casual glance at the mechanical condition of their vehicle? Granted, if you’ve just been cruising down a dirt road, it may not be a big deal. But if you’ve been out speeding over whoops or rock crawling, you’ve been putting some pretty good stress on your drive train, steering, and braking components. You may usually air up your tires before hitting the road, but it’s a good idea to perform a few quick checks under your rig before doing so. While some of these checks may seem obvious to you while you read this, they can be items you simply neglect or forget to check on your way back home. You’re hurling a 2-ton chunk of steel down the road, so it’ll be handy to have full control of your vehicle without worry of a broken or failed component. The safety of you and others is counting on your vehicle being mechanically sound. Don’t be the one to cause a crash.

After playing in the dirt, two of the main places to examine are steering and suspension parts. There’s a lot of hardware holding all these pieces together and failure here could be harrowing. We usually check leaf spring and shackle bolts, link bolts and link ends, all steering components and linkages, coil over mounts, and knuckle joints. We’re looking for nuts that may be loosening as well as bent linkage components. A quick glance at the drive shafts is prudent as well to spot rock scarring or joints that could be failing and are starting to sling grease.

Here’s a trick we’ve seen on a lot of race vehicles and some trail rigs. Marking critical nuts with respect to the mating bolt with a paint pen can offer you an easy way to monitor whether or not hardware has backed off its initial torque point. Certainly, assembling hardware correctly the first time with the appropriate thread-locking compound can go a long way toward never having to do tightening maintenance, leaving hardware undisturbed until you need to actually disassemble components.

Brake lines are critical components and have to work hard. On a normal basis, they have to withstand twisting and movement on the front end and also flex during suspension travel. Add to that the fact you may be dragging them through weeds and brush, plus the hazards of an occasional flying rock. They should be checked for leakage, nicks, or damage to the outer casing, and signs of kinking where the flexible hose meets the hard fittings. Note also that a stainless line can degrade if dirt works its way past the stainless braid to the point it contacts the inner Teflon tubing and is allowed to abrade on this surface. Over time, the Teflon tubing may rupture and cause a fluid leak. An outer plastic sheath helps present this.

Tire condition is not as big a concern if you trailer your rig on the road. However, if you drive your vehicle at speed on the highway there are a few things you should check. First, obviously, is that you air up to road pressures. Second, it’s a good idea to check for any signs of tire damage. That could be sidewall bulging or deep cuts in the sidewall that could result in tire failure. A quick visual of the bead lock bolts is good as well. Note: Many manufacturers recommend you use no more than 25-psi air pressure with bead locks to prevent breaking the ringbolts and risking tire retention failure.

SUPPORT YOUR SPORT How to get involved in ensuring the future of off road Story by Craig Perronne as featured in ORA (Off-Road Adventures)

ABOVE: Areas like iconic Moab, Utah are under threat of closure and restrictions. Without action, enjoying the beautiful lands surrounding Moab may become a thing of the past. “Life is Better Off-Road” is not just a clever bit of marketing speak coined during some late-night meeting. It’s the belief of everyone at 4 Wheel Parts. After al, when 4 Wheel Parts was founded way back in 1961, it aimed to fill the needs of those who wanted to get outdoors and explore this beautiful country in a four-wheel drive. As more people began to discover that life truly is better off road, the company grew by leaps and bounds, from a virtually one-man organization to what it is today, with 69 stores in both the US and Canada. If you’re reading this, chances are you share the same belief. Whether you are a hunter venturing down dirt roads, someone who hits their local off-road spot, a hardcore trail runner, or just like to explore in the dirt, you already know Life is Better Off-Road is more than just a motto. We don’t have to tell you how a day on the trail in the great outdoors is better than any day at work, in an office, or something horrific called a cubicle. And, despite a wide range of interests, we are all part of one big off-road family with a common bond.

A lot has changed since 4 Wheel Parts first opened in 1961. What was once a wide-open country has become much more populated and dense. Vast spaces gradually shrunk in size. Over the years, groups seeking to deny access to every-shrinking area of public lands have expanded in size, scope, and power. While it might not have been a major worry to generations before us, now the trails and areas we enjoy are under threat of closing. And the treat is real and imminent. While your local area may not be under threat, if you choose to do nothing, eventually it will be. BE RESPONSIBLE So what can one do to fight what may seem like an all-powered, well organized, and unstoppable machine? The very first thing is to act responsible on the trails, or any off-road area. While it may seem unfair to some, the unchanging reality is that we’re judged by the actions of the worst of us. All it takes is one idiot disregarding closed trail signs, or tearing across a sensitive area, to put us all in a bad light. Simply put, if you’re not wheeling responsibly, you really have no interest in the long-term sustainability of what we love doing. It may sound harsh, but it’s true. While some may claim ignorance, hitting the trails responsibly is just practicing common sense. Things like obeying all posted signs, including trail closures, are not difficult to understand. Never make your own trail, or purposely venture off a trail—also a no-brainer. Pack out what you pack in, and don’t litter, are basic tips. None of these take away from any fun while out on the trail, and can go along way in ensuring your local area stays open. A great place to start for information on how to wheel responsibly is www.treadlightly.org. Founded in 1985, Tread Lightly’s mission is to “to protect and enhance recreation access and opportunities by promoting outdoor ethics to heighten individuals’ sense of good stewardship.” This great organization’s web site helps off roaders gain a better understanding of how to be responsible on the trail, while instilling the value that we are all stewards of the sport. Remember, many anti-access organizations like to portray us as destroyers of land who could care less about the environment. Don’t do anything to fuel that stereotype.

GET INVOLVED Helping to ensure trails stay open goes beyond just wheeling responsibly, though. The groups trying to shut down access are usually well organized, well funded, and large. They count on four-wheel drive enthusiast to be unorganized, uninformed, and low in numbers. It makes achieving their goals a lot easier when they appear to be in the majority. Thankfully, there are already organizations working to create national representation for the off-road community. One of these is United Four Wheel Drive Associations (www.ufwda.org). Originally formed in 1976, the UFWDA works at a national level to represent the interest of four-wheel drive enthusiasts.

TO THE LEFT: BFGoodrich’s unique Outstanding Trails Program awarded a grant to the Friends of Fordyce club who then worked with the National Forest Service to improve and repair parts of the popular Fordyce Creek Trail.

It also provides education, such as its 4WD Awareness Course, information on where to join a club, and will even help you start a club. Their Volunteer Trail Patrol Program also educated enthusiasts on proper user ethics, and land stewardship. Another great organization is the Blue Ribbon Coalition (www.sharetrails.org). Formed in 1987 by Clark Collins, after he was told by the then Idaho governor that recreationists were not politically significant, it also works on a national level to protect the interests of those who use public lands. A key part of its mission is to secure, protect, and expand shared outdoor recreation access and use, while working collaboratively with natural resource managers and other recreationists. It also works to educate the general public, media, and elected officials on recreation and access issues, while promoting equitable and responsible natural resource management.

The Off-Road Business Association (www.orba.biz) is another solid organization working hard to preserve the sport of off-road recreation in an environmentally responsible manner. A professional trade non-profit association, it is composed of off-road related businesses working in collaboration to unite and promote common goals that support the prosperity and growth of the off-road industry. One of its major missions is to make it possible for the OHV industry to have a voice inland use issues. If you have a business that is focused off-road, then you should definitely be a member.

QUICK LINKS Looking for ways to get involved? Thankfully there are multiple options and the following quick list of organizations that fighting to preserve land access and promote responsible wheeling is a great way to start. Remember, these organizations work at the national level. There are others that have a more regional focus that are worth looking at along with local four-wheel drive clubs. BFGOODRICH OUTSTANDING TRAILS PROGRAM www.bfgoodrichtires.com/outstanding-trail-program.page BLUE RIBBON COALITION www.sharetrails.org OFF-ROAD BUSINESS ASSOCIATION www.orba.biz SEMA www.sema.org UNITED FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ASSOCIATION www.ufwda.org All of these organizations are worth a look. There is truly strength in numbers when it comes to

representation at a national level. They are also great for informing you of what is going on not only in your state, but nationwide. Don’t decide to join them after your favorite area is shut down. Let them represent your interests before that. Even if you can’t be an active member, simply joining makes a difference. GO CLUBBING Another organization you should look into joining is your local four-wheel drive club. In some areas, there may be several to consider, so make sure to look for one that is more than just a group of buddies to hit the trail with. A four-wheel drive club worth joining should advocate responsible wheeling, provide education to those new to four-wheeling, and be active in their local community. If there are no clubs in your area, consider starting one. With the advent of social media sites like Facebook, it’s really not difficult. We have run into plenty of clubs established through social media, growing over years from fairly small to rather large. Remember, a club should be more than just a group of friends who go wheeling. Ensure your members not only make an impact locally, but also nationally, by joining the previously mentioned organizations as well. Where clubs really help is at a local level. Responsible ones work with local OHV managers to help maintain trails in their area. Cleaning up a trail, erecting fencing or new signage, and repairing a trail can go a long way in preserving and protecting those trails. It also demonstrates that we enjoy land responsibly, have a positive impact and work with local authorities. If your local area becomes threatened with a closure, it helps to be seen as a positive force. BFGOODRICH’S OUTSTANDING TRAILS PROGRAM A very unique idea that promotes sustainable and responsible off-roading, along with recognizing the importance of local clubs, is BFGoodrich’s Outstanding Trails Program. Now in its 10th year, it awards grants of $4,000 each to three clubs across America that are working to protect their local trails. WHEEL RESPONSIBLY One of the most important things to remember is that all of us are land stewards every time we venture off highway and use public lands. Our actions can help keep areas open, or have the opposite effect. Using public lands responsibly is a must. Here are some tips to do just that. For more tips visit www.treadlightly.org.

• Travel only in areas open to four-wheel drive vehicles. • Comply with all signs and respect barriers. • Leave gates as you find them. If crossing private property be sure to ask permission from landowners. • Avoid sensitive areas and stay on designated routes. • Carry a trash bag on your vehicle and pick up litter left by others. • Observe proper sanitary waste disposal or pack your waste out. • Build a trail community and get to know others who share your favorite trail.

So far, the program has awarded grants to 36 off-road trails nominated by 35 local clubs throughout North America; with a total of $140,000 given to support trail conservation efforts.

Run as a competition, it allows clubs from around North America to nominate local trails in need of maintenance and refurbishing. The trails are selected by a panel of judges based on uniqueness, terrain type, and enthusiast support. Once the grant is awarded, it’s spent by the club to make trail improvements and repairs, helping to ensure the trail is used responsibly. Some examples of BFGoodrich’s Outstanding Trails Program in action include the Friends of Fordyce Club, who worked in conjunction with the Tahoe National Forest Service, and the California 4 Wheel Drive Association, to help repair, maintain, and modify the popular Fordyce Creek Trail. The Carolina Trail Blazers 4WD used the grant to re-route the John Dutch Trail, and perform much needed maintenance due to erosion. In Utah, the Moab Friends-For-Wheelin’ club held work days installing fencing and signage, repaired damage, and did general trail maintenance on the iconic Pritchett Canyon Trail with the grant. With 36 clubs receiving grants, the list of efforts is quite extensive. To help support the Outstanding Trails Program, 4 Wheel Parts was selected as its presenting sponsor. With a large presence nationwide, along with 69 stores, 4 Wheel Parts will help provide critical outreach to promote the program to local clubs If you’re interested in nominating a trail, and getting your club involved, visit www.bfgoodrichtires.com/outstanding-trail-program page for more information. While your local area might not be threatened, on a national level plenty are under scrutiny. Even iconic areas such as Moab, Utah may soon be unavailable to any type of motorized recreation. Whether you are an individual, a club, or a corporation, now is the time to get involved to help ensure future generations get to enjoy what we love. Inaction is definitely not the right response.

TO THE LEFT: BFGoodrich’s Outstanding Trails Program is a great way for a club promoting responsible land use to nominate a trail to receive a grant. The deadline for submissions is July 10th.
