Lake Pleasant to Crown King? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

m1ndless · 03-12-2008, 04:39 PM

I read this trail is only 35 miles, is this correct? I have dual 15 gallon tanks, is that enough gas for the trip, or should I bring extra gas? I always bring at least 5 gallons but should I bring more than that?

I have a 78 Chevy K10 4" lift and 32" A/Ts no lockers but have 4x4, can I do this trail? I read there were some climbs, but all have bypass's, is this correct?

I was considering doing this trail alone, since there are alot of others that do this trail is that safe or should I wait til I can find a wheeling buddy? My buddy has a nice wrangler, I might ask him..

It's never good to rely on the kindness of others so go with a friend

There is gas at Crown King, but with 30gals of gas you should be fine.

32" tires and no locker ...... you might need a tug in afew places.

It's an easy scenic drive. I drove my 86 Runner that's on 32's with open diffs and never had any problems. It was even raining. I would definitely bring a friend though. It's a long way to have to walk if you have trouble.

Thanks guys, my buddy is picking up a k30 soon so hopefully I can get out on the trail before it gets too damn hot.
