Hi! I haven’t actually done the Grand Canyon Polar Express Railway (even though I’m an AZ Native!). However it’s a great time of year to be up in Northern AZ. I think you’ll definitely encounter overnight temps in the 20s-30s easily, however, you’re not that far from some lower elevations...

You can check out 4Plus. AZ local fabricator. He built my sliders (4th gen) that are bolt on (with a reinforcement plate welded to frame). I don't know if he has worked on a 5th gen but it may be worth asking. He's built a number of things for my runner (all the skid plates including a transfer...

Spotted at Sprouts on Bell and 3rd:

After 5 years, of having my 4Runner, I think I have finally gotten to the point of being completely done doing modifications on it! Other than a snorkel which I don't really want or some non-functional mods, I really think it's done! The CBI rear bumper looks really good, though I had a few...

I take my 4Runner exclusively to Camelback Toyota. The service director and many of his guys have classis 40's and and/or modded Land Cruisers and 4Runners! They've done plenty of work on my 4runner, they're reasonably priced, seriously friendly. We did our own suspension, however they recently...

We just ran up Schebly Hill on Sunday. We normally run it from Flagstaff down to Sedona as they views are much nicer. It is open all the way and it is much rougher (a lot of exposed rocks / erosion) than I've ever seen it but still doable. The Pink Jeeps only go to the vista and then back down...

I am looking to pick up a 16" Rim (I have a 4th Gen 2005 SR5). Prefer one in good/great condition. Must be in AZ and preferably Phoenix/Valley area. I'm not looking to buy a set, just need 1. Please let me know what you have and how much you want for it. Thanks! I'd like it to match what I...

The difficult portion of this train through the creek bed is closed indefinitely due to the Gladiator fire. The part of the trail that you can do will only allow you to go so far then you'll have to turn around and go back the way you came. This wasn't my favorite trail, but still sad to hear...

Sounds like a fun day and the club sounds really cool! We can't make it this Saturday, but I love the format of the scheduling 6mos out. I've bookmarked the site and look forward to see what's planned for the 2nd half of the year. Have a great time!

We just spent a week driving around Utah and Colorado - Was great! Tour of the Southwest: Capital Reef N.P., Dinosaur N. M., Colorado N.M., Telluride « CC's 4Runner Adventures

Hi MM - I occasionally post runs in the Southwest section and we go on runs with the AZLCA which is a land cruiser club but we currently have four 4Runners in the club and always happy to see more! (azlca.net) I'm not sure how much we will be doing between now and the fall, but we should be...

Thanks =) We are staying at a cabin and we'll be at the expo on Saturday. Sunday we're planning on doing some trails before heading back to Phx but no idea which ones yet. We've got 2 Cherokees and an FJ with us. I know of at least 1 other 4Runner attending the expo, but pretty sure he's not...

Howdy! I post runs when we lead them for the AZLCA and we try to go all over the valley but I haven't gotten much interest from members here. So the question is.. am I just littering the boards with runs that folks aren't interested in or do I continue to post them? As far as this thread goes...

May 18-20 in Flagstaff. :) Overland Expo - Home

We went for the whole weekend last year, and we're going on a day pass this year and looking forward to it. Last year was hot, windy and the location had some issues, so I'm happy to see it up North this year. Some of the classes were really good, seeing the new product from all the vendors was...
