    I've been checking around this site for a year or two. I've learned more tonight, than ever before, on here. Found a coupla mods that I plan to do. Anyway, hello everyone!
    I'm a Vermonter who is now calling Arizona home. I've been wheeling since I was a puppy and the red dirt is a nice change. I've had this off-road turd for 3 or 4 years now and added about 70k to it.
    Now the maintenance is starting to kick in. I got a good deal on some 500 mile bilstein shocks off a 17 TRD that I plan to swap out the day before I get this new leaf pack from Toyota. Was thinking about putting an inch spacer up front and an aal in the rear. Not sure about uca or tires. I just wanna get higher!
    The AAL is mostly to compensate for the sleep platform that I will be building in the back.
    I don't know what else to say.
    It's good to be here. :)

    I'm just outside of Cottonweird, on a mission to explore this entire beautiful state! Any suggestions?
    I know most of the verde valley by heart. Flag area a bit. I try to stay out of the deep south during the hot months.
    Anything that leads to water, I'm so down.

    I just moved to AZ myself (although currently back in WA for a couple of months before getting back to Phoenix permanently). I'm new to exploring the area too so I'd be up for hitting up some scenic spots and some trails when I get back.
