Right on, X is a sweet trail. Short and to the point, obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. Or as Steve says, its 30 lbs of shit in a 10 pound bag.

X is all broke down. The shale sides of the trail have fallen into the bottom and the extreme offcamber entrance is wider due to a few flops taking a few things out, so it's straight forward now. I'm actually thinking about hitting that bitch in my pile next weekend. Way easier than it used to be.

I don't know about that cause those pics of them crossed up is loose and with IFS it's gonna follow the front end and you might hit some camper shell:saw: The trail is VERY narrow, but who knows. I'm not gonna say you can't try. Lets give it a go this coming weekend just like Upper Ajax, don't know till we try.

Take the shell off and spray the tires down with some Spray 77 and let's see!!! :D
Like Miller said, it's a very tight trail with really loose rocks.........the ledges and off camber sections might pose some problems for you, but I wouldn't say it's not doable.

I definitely know that. I think IFS would be fun to watch in what I guess what you would call the Z turn at the end. Other than that it's no problem now.....I think. We're gonna see how the pile does on it this weekend.

Nice Picks of X! Once I get my junk fixed I'll have to check that out when I move back to AZ. Almost all fixed up now, just in time for Calico this weekend. Thanks for towing my ass out of Upper Ajax that day. I need some redemption on that trail...I think I'll bypass that last waterfall though. :o

I hope not................My trucks only 2wd now so towing you out would be harder to do this time!!! ;)
Any word on a transfer date???.............I just wanna know how much longer we have to wheel without tow straps! ;)

LOL, that's good stuff right there. I think that fall is the requirement to even try to run X or AA. I already got one of those down, X is next......BRING IT! Just to bring on TBob hate since he wants to run AA, it can't be that hard..... a stock Jeep with 31's did it. This is pre-flat belly skid and 1.5" springs. :headbang:

X you're NEXT! Here is a pic of X back in the day(a few months ago). The entrance was narrow and required something like this if you had full width axles(like Steve here). And the second is near the exit. This was in October.
