    Thanks to @ToyTec Lifts I received my gift card for winning the "It'll Buff Out Award", and used it to purchase some Spidertrax 1.25" Wheel Spacers :thumbsup: Need to trim my cab mount again but I love the new stance, perfect balance to the rear now. Also matches the front bumper tube that comes out passed the fender

    ARIZONA TOYOTAS Meet/Greet & Poker Run - January 21st, 2017

    Gotta give credit to @JTS2014TACO for getting this meet going at first. Once it began to gain serious attention, I took over and it BLEW UP from there!:cool: @tubbsisland of @SDHQ OFFROAD and @mh.meier of @Pelfreybilt donated some prizes and Cliff came up with the Poker Run idea in Bulldog Canyon :thumbsup: What was supposed to be about 40 trucks on that trail for our morning Poker Run, turned into almost 60! It was indeed an EPIC turnout and I believe everyone had a damn good time!

    Off to an early start after a long rainstorm passed through the day before. I always get super excited when airing down before the trails! See if you can spot my newest mod too :spy:

    White Tacoma isn't a member on the forums and I believe hes associated with BDS Suspensions....had a big decal on the side but under the hood of that taco was the real prize! Black Tacoma is @TroCo and his rack was built by @JeepAndrew KMFAB here in Tucson :thumbsup:

    DOONIES - February 10th-12th, 2017

    My father-in-law introduced me to my new addiction when I first met him. We already shared the love for offroading, but once he introduced me to ATC life....well I was hooked! For his birthday weekend we planned a trip to Gordon's Well Imperial Dunes. This was my first time to the dunes since 2012! Little did I know how awesome it was to ride in the dunes on a 3-wheeler :cool:

    Paddles on, fork seals replaced, and maintenance checks complete.. its GO TIME! Brother-in-law's Red 250X, Wife's White 200X, and my beastly black 350X :headbang:

    Brother-in-law also brought his dirtbike
    [​IMG]

    Last pit stop in Yuma. TRON hauls really nice :)
    [​IMG]

    Even though it was overcast, the full moon lit up the night sky just enough to get super excited about our camping spot!
    [​IMG]

    Much like our Sedona Trip last year, we woke up to a spectacular overcast morning!! It was pretty damn impressive :eek:

    The next day was cut short because the wind was outrageous! Strong enough to blow over my camp chef, which isn't light and sandblast the hell out of us.. But no DUNE trip was gunna end without mobbing in TRON! :D The ADS 3.0s were lovely in the sand

    PELFREYBILT Arizona Campout/Sheep's Bridge - February 17th-19th, 2017

    We were lucky enough to be invited to the official @Pelfreybilt Arizona Campout at Sheep's Bridge :cool: Even though the only thing I currently have from Pelfreybilt is a t-shirt, koozies, trasharoo, and some stickers haha, BUT I'm working on convincing Mr. @Socalduckslayer himself to build some fancy new Tundra parts! ;) As a previous customer and close friend, I can say they really take care of their customers and build not only high quality grade, but also very aesthetically pleasing bumpers and modifications for the Tacoma and 4runners! I can only imagine what they would do for our Tundras... Back to the awesome campout, it was prep time and I always get excited gathering all my camping gear to run equipment checks! This trip in particular I was prepping my full loadout of the "pew pew" toys :D
    [​IMG]

    A common chore nowadays is loading the truck the night before and having to park it fully loaded in my garage since we live in Tucson, and you cant trust a single damn person to respect your property around here.... Already had a couple things stolen out of my driveway.:mad: Atleast Tron still fits in the garage for now....just barely..
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The next morning we got up super early to meet @JTS2014TACO in Phoenix and try to lock down a good spot for the big campout. I think these gassing up pics are growing on me...atleast when I'm taking them its fun to look at how clean the trucks are before going off grid :cool:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Obligatory picture driving up Cave Creek Road. We're in AZ so whenever I see running water I must stop and take pics.... Thanks to @JTS2014TACO for rubbing it in, yes I need lights....and he has ALL THE LIGHTS!:eek: Important to note here too, this was raging the day we left after all the rain that weekend!
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Stopped again along the road for more pics
    [​IMG]

    Definitely need to fix this bro lean with my camping loadout

    First to camp and locked down the best spot! :thumbsup: It was beautiful outside too, little overcast and about 70 in the sun....little did we know that was about to change pretty soon haha.
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Just as the group starting rolling in, so were the clouds @mh.meier @tubbsisland
    [​IMG]

    Didn't stop us from making margaritas tho! :cheers: #coolestcooler
    [​IMG]

    Now with the rain picking up and temps dropping it was time to cuddle up by the fire. We were in for a long rainy night!:rain:
    [​IMG]

    Next morning it was drizzling and perfect out, for me anyway. The desert becomes a whole new oasis in the rain...so I took some pics!

    Heading out for what would be a very long mudding trip!
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    You could say it rained non stop all weekend....
    [​IMG]

    We then proceeded toward I-17 and the Bloody Basin Exit since we had planned for another trip to Sedona....but it turns out we had to back track about 40 miles since we could not get passed this......... Yes they made it through somehow and there is video of this floating around *pun intended*:rofl:
    [​IMG]

    #IHATEMUD :oops: while backtracking we had to run back through a mudbog I had just sworn id never return too...
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    and for the finale, thanks to Cliff @tubbsisland and his awesome camera, we were able to document my attempt to wash all the mud off :D
