    Let me know if you need directions or tips. I got lost twice lol. Also know of a few good places to eat along the way.

    I love my tent. Can't wait to use it next month. I've had zero issues.

    We are doing the Havasupi off-froad trail from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon so it will be South Rim. My buddy has done both rims

    Will do!

    The blue tent? What brand??

    Nice. I am not the biggest fan of recreating on Native lands. Maybe trying to deal with access problems at work has jaded me. lol

    Yeah I used that for some help. I pulled from many different places.

    Be prepared with 25 bucks to pay off the tribesman to let you enter. Be sure to have a pass to camp in the Grand Canyon National Park or they won't let you through. They live in a hut about 20 miles off road.

    Yes. I went in to 4wd once the whole time to go through a deep puddle. Didn't even need to go through. Could have gone around but it was fun.

    @RedRunner87 most of the road is like this.


    And here is where I went into 4wd. Didn't even need to. Just a safety net because I was alone with no other rig or winch.

    Sounds good. I knew about the $25 for the tribesman didn't know about the camping pass for the National Park.

    Ok cool. I keep trying to get him to sell his Audi S4 and get the Taco but he won't.

    The tribesmen don't care as long as you give them money. I'm pretty sure if you forgot to get the pass, you could pay them off with another 20. I had the wrong pass and just acted confidently that I had the right one and they let me in.

    Only thing is that you risk getting a ticket from the park rangers. Not really though. You go from Grand Canyon National park, to Havasupai land, to some National Forest I'm blanking on, to Grand Canyon National Park again. However, the rangers can't get to that part of the park since they would have to go on Havasupai land to get there.

    Probably the Coconino National Forest is what you are thinking off. Camped a couple times back there with no pass lol. That is good to know. I will probably be hitting you up in a month or so once I start planning it out fully.

    We have done Broken Arrow in his X. If worse comes to worse can always tow strap him through it lol. He has a slight lift on it, not sure what tires he has now. I have a feeling he will be fine through it.

    You can always pick better lines than me haha. Also, the wash part of the road was run out because of rain. Should be smoother if it hasn't rained.
