Arizona Offroading Pictures

Stock 2wd drive taco and I know my limits.

 

Here is what i have from todays run of Turkey Creek that runs from a few miles in on the CK/Bumble Bee exit and dumps you out next to the bar in Cleator. The rest of the crew went on to Desoto and Prescott.

This tail is a lot of fun and now my favorite in Phoenix. Some great obstacles to navigate (a few needed spotting and some needed recovery)

 

I wish I would've found out sooner.

 

Lmao mine prolly wasn't either but I think I would've managed.

 

Even with nice suspension im not sure you are yet just because of the pinstripes and we even had some trail damage (al though no one knows where or how)
I have a good size dent in my skid, rubbed slider down the 1st descent and a shit ton of new scratches on the sides and roof.

 

Nice... I used to keep a thermometer in my vehicle but, it pegged ALL the time and only showed up to 120. It was a warm 88 here this past Tuesday. That said, our humidity was oddly low for the deep south.

 

Driver award of the day goes to Jason in the RandoCruiser (the gutless LC that could)

Gets buried in deep nasty shitty mud not once but twice in a row. Im not even sure more momentum wouldve saved him. This LC full loaded with his family is so much fun to watch wheel. I love this rig and he can pilot the fuck out of it.

 

Yeah, I made the right call. Between allergies and full-size, that would have been a BAD day. Looks like fun though.

 

My truck showed 111 earlier today when I ran to the store. Sitting in the driveway.

 

Looks like a great trip.

 

The trail into Prescott was Harry. Jasen lost it going up a hill and slid sideways down it. Had my heart pumping. I have a killer oil leak I think it's my rear seal under the skid. All in all it was a kick ass trip I would not of made it to Prescott without sliders.

 

There were some really tight spots and off camber you might of had some trouble in some spots.

 

I can think of a few spots you would've had some big issues unless you found a way around. The 1st real tight spot between solid earth was on a climb. That one wouldve claimed a fender if you had tried. Al though after we got up it and stopped I found what most likely was a bypass a ways before it. The biggest problem would be been that part we had to hug the wall for sure.

I think that there was more to this trail and bypasses that avoid obstacles that we didnt see due to brush. It has so many little side trails but the good news is our fearless leader pointed us into everything fun. Seriously great trail for anyone wanting to test their limits and learn a few things.

When Harry met Jasen?


Jason is fearless and his experience will get him into and out of these situations. He slid down a hill backwards earlier in the day. I guess maybe those Toyos have got to go Jason? Time for the 35" STTs from the Tacoma.

 

I saw a comment somewhere that points to some of those off-shoots being the "Bumble Bee Buggy Trails" which make everything left at Table Mesa look like child's play.

 

At the beginning there is a canyon to the right where Jason got buried in mud (twice) that looks like a place to take your truggy for sure.

 

@Greensystemsgo ? Nicholas posted 16 hours and 200 miles on Facebook at 11 last night after going thru Prescott.

 

No doubt ive learned so much from him off road. He is calm and you can totally trust him as a spotter. He doesnt even talk, just watch his hands.

 

Probably the most mild Bumble Bee video I've seen.


And a post from a Undertaker Marathon in that area http://www.higherground4x4.com/foru...ual-AZ-Undertakers-Marathon&p=62936#post62936

 

My pics and video hopefully to come this evening.

 

The trail run should be dubbed "why we cant have nice things"
