[ultrapc40]

OK Time for me to do some work.

Details of the trail on Dirtopia http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/Cleghorn_Ridge_Trail

The plan is to start at 9:30am sharp at the trail head (we will start on the 15 side) we will meet on the dirt lot on Cajon Blvd off Exit Cleghorn Rd. from there we will run to the power line area to wait for late arrival to catch up, then onto 34.321059,-117.430024 to have some two wheel drive fun in the mini woop section they have.  Once we are done there, the 2wd group if any will break off to go on the 2wd trail and the 4wd group back at 34.311513,-117.437981.  The trails will cross each other multiple time.  We will have lunch at one of the open area after pucker hill.  

Green trail is 2wd and red trail is 4x4

CB Channel 22 / HAM 145.500 I will bring my walkie talkie just in case.

Please let me know if you are not listed above and you are thinking of going.  Once it gets closer, i will send out my number.

Please make sure  you are gassed up, bring fluids and food, I will bring my BBQ grill so you can cook a hot meal for lunch if you like.  If everyone is down, I can always just go get a giant pack of hotdogs and buns and everyone just bring a few bucks.  Just let me know.

Look forward to wheeling with you guys.

FYI for the people coming from the south, gas and food are available at the exit after cleghorn.  There is not much before it so you might want to leave a little earlier and gas/food up and back track to cleghorn for the 9am meet up time.

I may have a buddy in a Dodge Dakota coming as well.

[ultrapc40]

can I just get an idea on how's been to Cleghorn before?  If so, anyone ran the 2wd trail before that has a CB or radio of any kind?

[knightrider]

I have been there a number of times.  I've never kept to the 2wd trail but from what I've seen its just a fire road

I'm a maybe -- even though the last time I ran Cleghorn in the X the side air bags went off.

I'm definitely in for this one.  It helps if to go with people that have a good idea of the difficulties of some of the bypasses. Last time I went, there were a lot of stock rigs that got far into one of the bypasses before realizing it was too difficult for their setup. We had to get pretty creative to turn all those trucks around in the narrow trail.

Anyone know which fuse is the one you pull for the side air bags?

[ultrapc40]

As far as I know there are two side shoot that is possible to pop an airbag. One is coined pucker hill, it's been closed for a while, due to too may roll overs. The other is the v notches. But if we start from the 15, we will see the gate keeper on the v notches. I have gone down it coming from the 138 side, but I know I am not equip to go up it from the 15 side. If a one is equip to do it they are welcome to, I will bring my Canada

I do recommend the 4x4 to take their step rails off of you have any, I have been here with stock Xterra w/o any issues expect for step rails

Another trail too look out for is the one that dead ends to nowhere. I am going to see if I can google earth it to mark it off. I am not a fan of turning a bunch of vehicles around hahaha

You can change my status to confirmed.  Thanks!

The easiest way to disable airbags is to disconnect the seat sensors under the front seats. 
The reset procedure is also pretty painless as well.

Disclaimer:
I am in no way telling you that you should disable a safety item on your truck, if you don't feel comfortable disabling them, don't.  However if you don't disable them, and they deploy, also do not be surprised.  The government and other organizations have given motor vehicles a bad reputation for rolling over or crashing and causing injuries, this is leading the manufacturers to increase the sensitivity of the sensors and causing a lot of false deployments.  This is not just Nissan, all manufacturers are doing this for all vehicles.  Please note that operating a motor vehicle is dangerous.  [\legal rant]

What's the reset procedure?

[knightrider]

Turn the key to run, the airbag light will illuminate, wait for it to begin flashing, within 3 seconds, turn off the ignition.  Rinse and repeat until the light no longer flashes, supposed to be 3 cycles but I normally have to do 4.

My 05 Frontier doesnt have side curtain air bags. Is this an issue with just the side curtain airbags?  No one has heard of the front airbags deploying due to the truck being off camber, correct?
