On Monday the 8th of April if any of you would like to join a few of us for a late afternoon run out to Butcher Jones please be at the Chevron gas station located just off the Beeline & Fort McDowell Rd (across from the casino) between 4- 4:15PM. We will stop for fuel and water there and head up to the trail head for a few hours of dirt time.

I can make this. I have to wake up around 5:45am Tuesday morning so I can't stay up too late.

 

Alright man thats 4 trucks for this afternoon! Im with you on the staying out too late, I need to be up and out the door by 445am tomorrow. 3 of us are leaving Tempe by 345 to head up the Beeline to the Chevron. Ill PM you my cell # shortly.

Ill check the thread throughout today for any other interested people.

 

We are meeting at Sierra Expeditions at 4PM and will then head out to the trail if any last minute people want to come up.

 

Today's pictures!

Our guests from Texas, Mark and his son, in the silver taco with soft top.








It was a good trip and a great alternative to studying

I need to take my time and attempt to take good photos next time. lol

 

Big thanks to Luis for being our trail guide yesterday. Mark, It was great to hit the trails with you and your truck still has me drooling. James, thanks for holding back while I deal with my tire issues and Edgar, nice pictures man. I'm glad you snapped them.

Overall, just an awesome time! Learned a ton about where my truck has opportunity for improvement.
1. Full leaf pack and spring over kit. These blocks have got to go!
2. Icon coilovers for Tacomas with Procomp "6 up front and I will have to research to find out if the remote reservoir shocks or if the 2.0 Aluminum series is the way to go.

 

Great pics and looks like it was a lot of fun. Good job on the new sig Jon.

Pretty sweet collection of trucks on this run. I'm digging Mark's 35's with no flares look.

 

Would of sucked if he hydrolocked it hahaa

 

There is so much more about Marks truck that is drooltastic... fully locked, LCA & UCAS done, geared, armored... the list keeps going. If only I had 10g free to mod out mine....

 

Yeah, it was a good turn out. It was great to go wheeling with everybody. Here's pictures and videos:

Nice pics! Those hill climbs at Butcher are actually closed but the dude was from out of town so I would have done them....lol!

Widow maker is awesome and so unique.....I like taking people up there so they can get a good AZ ass puker!

 

that's the 3rd time Ive heard they closed the hills at Butcher Jones but we didn't see one sign or Ranger. I really think that the area that is closed is the cove way back where all the parties happen, much further then where we were at.

 

Interesting.. last time I was out at butcher it was all marked off too. I haven't been out there in a looong time tho some they ruined it all. not fun anymore. Good pics and videos tho! What tires are those the guy from Texas was running? Anyone know?

 

35x12.5x18..

 

Well I meant brand. Lol

 

Hahaha ... profile says pro comp xtmt.
