I just got my lift on and once my rear shocks come in i want to put the new suspension to tne test. Who is up to a wheeling trip in the next few weeks? Also up to ideas in where to go for this one but nothing too crazy.

I'm planning on gong wheeling April 24-26 somewhere not too far from town and maybe even do some camping Saturday night.

There are some good spots in southern Utah I have been looking at when the snow clears

I'm going to try and go this weekend. My truck has been out of commission for almost two months now. Not sure yet on the location, but it's either going to be up around the Flagstaff area (just FS roads near Mormon lake) or Butcher Jones rec area. Just got to get the tires dirty...

And Jeff, let me know where you end up going. I don't think I'll be up for camping out, but definitely up for some wheeling and a late lunch/early dinner with you.

Yeah just the people i wanted to see. Not sure about the weekend camping, need to get more camping gear and I work on saturdays, too late to request it off. I do want to do a weekend trip though soon. Im still waiting for my OME rear shocks to come in.

I'll keep ya updated. still haven't decided. I was thinking about heading to Montana Mtn - run that trial which is kinda long but not difficult by any means, but extremely scenic and there is some cool stuff to see out there. Its been probably 7-8 years since I've been there, back when Cecil was just a baby turtle:















The trail ends about pretty close to Superior. I was thinking about doing the trail, head into Superior and eat at one of their famous restaurants, then go setup camp at Oak Flat. Get up Sunday morning and either do Montana Mtn again backwards, run a trail or 2 off Mineral Mtn Rd or just head home.

Any idea when the shocks should be in? Let me know if you need an hand - I have a bunch of tools and a new 33 gallon air compressor that doesn't get used enough

I also have a bunch of camping gear I'm planning on thinning out soon cuz i just got a bunch of new stuff. Are you looking for anything in particular?

Thanks for the offer in the help. I just got a 60 gallon compressor that i need to wire up, its 220v. But i can just do the rear shocks at work, not sure when they are going to show up, soon i hope. As far as camping stuff i need a decent small gas stove and sleeping bags, thise i will buy new. Sorry i have not been around much but We just moved and the wife had brain surgery a few months ago So things have been crazy.

Long story short - looks like none of my usual off road friends can make a Saturday run this weekend so I'm going to postpone the trip to Montana Mtn

Anyone interested in a trip to Saguaro Lake? I was thinking about taking the slightly longer/easier way in from 4 Peaks down to the 5th cove, hang out there for a while, then head back to pavement via the trails to Butcher Jones. All can be done in a stock 4WD vehicle. We could meet up at the Chevron gas station across the way from Ft. McDowell casino - 9-9:30ish?

Looking to plan something for the next weekend as well May 1/2/3 I'm open to go anywhere, hopefully somewhere I we don't usually go (like Butcher Jones) there are a lot of fun trails out in Florence that are not difficult and can be done in a stock 4WD rig - Box Canyon anyone? then we could either take that to Cottonwood Canyon then back to the 79, or we can keep on truckin till it connects with Mineral Mtn Rd and out to the 60. Or we could start off Mineral Mtn Rd off the 60 a few miles east of the 79, then check out the Raymert Mine & the Sugar Shack, even hit up Woodpecker/Ajax Mine trail if we're up for it.

Raymert:








The Sugar Shack:

If my rear shocks show up in time i will be down for a saguaro lake run on sunday. The casino is a few mile back track for me. If no shocks this week then the 3rd mught work. It wiukd be fun to do a different area.

We could meet at the 4 Peaks staging area, or skip taking the long way and just meet at Butcher Jones parking lot on Sunday.

As for next weekend - I'm open for anything at this point, I was just throwing out a suggestion. It really depends on who wants to go also, I wouldn't want to pick something too hard for a stocker to take on if there are any interested... hint hint cf_coder

And depending on how much time everyone has. We could go check out Hassayampa wash in Wickenburg, Castle Hot Springs out by Lake Pleasant, some of the trials around Table Mesa, Bloody Basin/Sheep Bridge/7 Springs. I'd even be open to the back way to crown king if we get enough interest.

im down for crown king.

I'm good with whatever... Don't pick a powder puff trail on my account. I can always run Box Canyon or just toodle around the Mineral Mountain/Cottonwood Canyon area while the big boys go and play in the rocks. :-)

So - what is the official decision about Sunday? Someone mentioned Box Canyon, I mentioned Butcher Jones - I'm open, I just need to get on some dirt!

We are a go for Box canyon. Ready to push our 4Runner a little more. I'm stil all stock minus running board removal, hope we survive😁

10-4 Box Canyon it is!

Who's all in? I'll be there possibly my buddy Ryan and maybe Shelly & Melany - they drives Geep's so go easy on them, They have a lot to learn.

Meet up time and place?

Typically when I go out there, we meet up at the Shell on the 60 in Gold Canyon - I understand some people are coming from San Tan/Queen Creek area; those of you coming from that way, we could meet up at the shooting area down Price Rd - hows 9:30-10ish at the shooting area for everyone?
