who wants to go wheeling?

Then the weekend after that is the 6th annual 4 Peaks Cleanup, which I'm once again helping organize this year! If you're free on Nov 7th, please come help us out! This is going to be the biggest cleanup yet. We have thousands of dollars worth of raffle items, t-shirts for everyone who show's up, free beverages & lunch for everyone - its gong to be epic!

Hi Jeff,

I'm free on the 7th and would like to help out with the cleanup at 4 Peaks. Also, let me know if you would be interested in another sponsor, would be happy to donate to the raffle.

Thank you! We're always looking for sponsors to help out in any way possible.

I'll PM you some additional info.
 
New guy here, bought this truck a couple of months ago. Went out this AM to Seven Springs Rd from Cave Creek. Wanted to engage 4 wheel drive as per the owners manual so it wouldn't forget it was there :) Nothing fancy, just drove a pretty easy fire road (and I was by myself so nothing crazy).

I have no off-road experience, but look forward to joining you guys on a drive sometime.

Nice color! Trail or trail premium?
 
OT: Have any AZ 3rd gen owners on here had a pink milkshake (PMS) and still have their failed radiator? Shoot me a PM, would like to do some diagnostics on the actual failure mode.
 
Hey Fella's.... Anyone thinking about going out to putt around anywhere saturday? I've been looking at some of the lame fireroads around my area up north to even just go get my clean tires a little dirty for a bit lol.

Is being offroad like therapeutic???? Cuz I feel like it would be, and damn could I use some right about now ha.

I'm not going to be in town this weekend... Crown King is definitely on my shortlist too. But, with business travel this month and next, and having to get some scouting done for elk season next month, there isn't going to be a whole lotta time for offroading until November for me...

Same goes for me - outta town this weekend, then too much business travel in October.

I'll be heading to the Off Road Expo thing at WestWorld next Saturday if anyone wants to coordinate going as a group. Then another trip to the Sheep Bridge with a different 4Runner group on Sunday the 27th - that is open to anyone, if you're interested let me know.
 
Is Table Mesa Rd heading East from I-17 pretty chill? I'm thinking about maybe just going for a drive on Saturday or something.

Yeah, that one is pretty easy and quite scenic.

Think I may go putz around up there for a little while saturday to just chill and get some dirt on the tires ha.

Hey do you guys ALWAYS air down when you go off pavement? I understand it's purpose, just curious I guess. Particularly in reference to Table Mesa would it be necessary?
 
no. things like Schnebly hill road and such it's not necessary. I ran Box Canyon and didn't air down with P rated tires and did fine. If it's really rough terrain airing down will soften the ride and give better traction.
 
I always air down some regardless of the trail - how much I air down depends on what kind of terrain I think I'm going to encounter.
[MENTION=127718]IceCold81[/MENTION] - did you pick up the Guide to Arizona Backroads book yet?

4x4 and SUV Books : Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4WD Trails (2nd Edition) Cover Price: $34.95

The trail that is off Table Mesa Rd to the east is in the book - its called New River. It will dead end at 7 Springs Rd/Cave Creek Rd. If you take a left and head north, it will dead end at Bloody Basin Rd - if you go right, it will take you through 7 Springs Recreation area

For this trail, if I was in my 06 4Runner, I would air down to around 20 psi to get a smoother ride.
 
Crown King

I really really want to do the back road to crown king.

Hey David, I have at least one co-worker that's interested in Crown King, maybe more. Does Saturday work? We can take lunch or eat in Crown King. I am hoping some other guys here want to jump on! I know that there are lot's of conflicts, but we are getting close to some critical mass... ;-)

Yea I can see how airing down no matter the terrain off road how it would be helpful in at least smoothing out the ride. I went up the backside of Lake pleasant on Castle hot springs rd for just a little bit without airing down or anything, and while it was super easy and flat, god was the rippled grading a rattling nightmare! hahaha. Vibration was crazy

And nah [MENTION=112004]lofreqjeff[/MENTION] unfortunately I haven't gotten a chance to grab it yet. It's certainly on my short list of things to do though.
