Arizona Offroading Pictures

@Greensystemsgo @Taco Love @MaverickTRD To say it was a LONG trip is a bit of an understatement but it was another great trip in the books. @iJonny didnt make the whole journey but the rest of us covered a lot of area and theses guys learned a lot about their rigs and themselves as drivers. This trip just proves how much more is back there to explore. Here are some pictures we got.........

 

If you guys get this planned let me know. I'd be down if I can get the time off.

 

Doooooood.

Last time I ran Turkey ~5 years ago, there was a group going up a solid rock side wash... if you can call it that. We stopped and watched the carnage for a while. 2 buggies rolled backwards in just the 30 min we were there.





... and us "normal people" crossing the creek later on:

 

Such a great trail

 

For those not involved in the fun festivities, I left my house for the meeting spot at 7, we rolled out together at 8, hit the trail by 9, ran turkey and ended up in cleator by 3 after a lunch on the trail (group shot), then around 3.30 we took off for desoto mine and subsequent drive back on senator highway arriving in prescott around 8. left after dinner about 9 and i made it back home by 11pm. LONG DAY.

If anyone loves these pics or any other from the run, ill be happy to do any cleanup/color correction if they wish.



Hot air baloons were launching like crazy around carefree, some very low at the meeting spot. If you have never gone for a ride, you need to.



Quick discussion concerning the mud.



I thought my "Gnar-Mobile" looked decent.



Great shot

Wasn't a long enough discussion about the mud, it needed closer inspection






Yeup, its deep






This one is so meme worthy



Caption this image ^^

 

Not only do I not vape, but my ass just looks phenomenal

 

That's some funny shit there

 

4 wheeling in Mesa when i don't feel like driving very far.

In my Montero




In the Mighty Lux




And in the exact same spot but with the diesel Pajero not in the rain making it look easy

 

Thank's! I've got a 120 as well but no good offroad pics with it, it's stock anyway

 

I've been wanting to drive 2 sections of Bulldog Canyon that I haven't been on--FR1356 east of FR3512, and FR3512 north of 1356--so I took advantage of the weather this morning and headed out. I entered at Cottonwood and exited at Wolverine.

FR1356 is scenic with a few spots that may be challenging for 2wd, but should be doable. Most of the 4wd areas are posted off limits.


FR3512 north of FR1356 was fun. I went as far as I could comfortably (a few miles) since I was alone, but I am interested in going back and seeing how much further I can go. The trail does become more technical the further you go.



After leaving FR3512, on the way to Wolverine, I noticed a hill that is usually posted as "closed" is now open, so I played around a little.



I spent a little time in the play area at Wolverine before heading out. While airing-up I noticed I had added to my pinstriping collection (they don't show up well in the picture)...they'll buff out.

 

You keep playing back there you will find this

Edit- I don't know why the quality is shit on here, maybe it's just me

 

Fuck it, not sure why it wont copy and open right.

Just search willow spring bulldog canyon. Its a crawler trail.

Lets try this. It works in google.

 

Looks fun, but I have a ton of work to do before I even think of attempting that.. Haha. Maybe just got 35s right away?

 

That was the last trail the buggy did (most of before breaking). Had a 1st gen 4Runner Raisin on 36s. He was taking all the bypasses. But it was at night, so I'm not really sure what I was actually crawling over.
