JeepAndrew's AZ Trail Runs/Campouts

My factory skids are all beat to hell.. they serve their purpose just fine. Ill replace em once they are completely toast. The driveshaft is more of an issue than anything..

 

I go on jamies route well because... he's my main bitch

 

Most of the videos don't do any justice to the scenery and obstacles on this trail

 

I'm just trying to understand if it is Elvis levels of difficulties. Meaning you better have a spotter kind of shit

 

There are a couple of spots you need a spotter. Other than that, it's all good.

 

You're going too!?!

 

Truck needs a lot of TLC but i'm trying to!

 

I'll have an extra seat and Juan probably will too if you need a ride, rug road is one you cant miss. You havent experienced a TW meet until youve been to rug road

 

My truck will be fine, just have some stuff i want finished up before i go wheeling again

But thanks for the offer amigo!

 

Nah, it's definitely not Elvis status, based on the vids I've seen online anyway. There's a couple technical spots that may require some spotting, but for the most part, it's a slow cruising trail with great scenery and some moderate challenges that keep it from being boring

 

This ^ should be quoted in the OP!

Damn straight you be coming!

 

Rug Road/Turkey Creek Camp-out 2015!!!

Ladies and gents, it's that time again!

March 27th-29th (Friday-Sunday)

In-depth trail info on page one: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/arizona/265528-jeepandrews-az-trail-runs-campouts.html

Rug Road is a historic 23 mile ranching/mining trail that crosses the Galiuro Mts east of Mammoth, to Turkey Creek and the town of Klondyke. This trail is rated 3.5-4/5, depending on summer storms.

This trip is 2wd/prerunner friendly via alternate route (aka "backdoor penetration route") from either Thatcher (east of Globe) or Willcox (east of Tucson)

The 4wd group will be meeting at The Valero Gas Station in Catalina (time TBD), as well as making a final stop at the Circle K in Mammoth for fuel/final supplies before hitting the trail head. 2wd group shall determine their own meetup spot/time. I will be posting GPS coords' for backway routes very soon!

**IMPORTANT!-Larger than stock tires recommended and minimum 2" of lift and AT THE VERY LEAST rock sliders required for the 4wd route. Pinstriping also possible. CB radio is recommended to all 4wd route attendees**

Rug Road highlights:

-The Tire Chute
-Carpet Hill (steep-as-fuck off-camber shelf road with 700 ft descent in less than 3/4 mile)
-Table Mountain Pass

Sounds like a cross betwen CK and Coke ovens

 

Well, without personally running CK, I can't say for sure if that's accurate, but I have done Coke Ovens. The obstacles on that trail are somewhat comparable.

 

CK is a slow moving trail that starts in desert and ends in the pines. Granted, you can go around all the fun obstacles but that is what's similar. Coke ovens, you have a few obstacles that need spotting, but for the most part isn't too bad.

Thanks for the input brother! Hope you had a good bday BTW!

 

Thank you sir! Other than being sick it was pretty damn good

 

-Kim.

 

Ok. That didn't work. But Kim's going in the back way.
