Project-JK Anza Borrego Coyote Canyon Jeep Trail Run 2007

South Coyote Canyon is a beautiful trail located in Anza Borrego Desert State Park, CA and is one of the best trail for someone new to Jeeps and off-roading to learn on. It's relatively close to Los Angeles and San Diego and offers terrain that is technical enough make it a good challenge for a stock JK but nothing too difficult.

This short video highlights the first annual Project-JK.com newbie run that we did back in October 2007. In all, we had a total of 14 Jeep JK Wrangler along for the ride including JK Rubicons, JK X and JK Sahara's in both 2-door and 4-door Unlimited models and in various degress of lift heights and tire sizes including bone stock. As is the case with most of our runs, this was an optional overnight trip and we set up camp towards then end of the trail at Sheep Camp. And, if you've ever been camping with us, you know that's where all the real fun happens! Unfortunately, on the way out, one of our members, Trail Bud, suffered an unusual break to his front axle housing but thanks to a good ratchet strap and toad's AAA premium membership, all was good in the end.

Sorry, Posted in the wrong place. I'm new to posting remarks on you tube. My wife bought me a jeep 07 JK and we go off road all the time with the kids, but alone. If you know of any local jeep clubs in the Orange County area that you can recommend that are family oriented and just want to have fun, I would appreciate and heads up? Looked into a few clubs, but they were a younger crowd that just like to just get crazy.

@mbputman74 Wow! looks like a cool place to go off roading. I have a Jeep JK 07 4X4 that my wife bought me and we are always off roading alone with our kids. Do you know of any jeep clubs in Orange

County? That are mellow.

@wayalife I had mine reinforced with internal sleeves and gussets @ off Road Evolutuon a while back. It makes me think it was money well spent, although seeing how easily that snapped, I hope it was enough.

@surfdogdude it's not a difficult trail and it's not what snapped his axle. the housing was brittle and it just broke. his is not the only one we have seen broke and all the ones we have seen weren't doing much of anything at the time.

[surfdogdude]

@wayalife That's crazy because when I think of Coyote Canyon, it has never seemed that difficult to snap an axle like that.

[wayalife]

@surfdogdude if you can believe it, yes.

[surfdogdude]

@wayalife Was that a snapped axle housing at the end there???
