AZ BS Thread 4²0

The one down near Sonoita? Absolutely beautiful country. That's where I blew out my ankle on the AZ trail which has to be re routed due to the mine . Right now it's pending litigation since a judge recently ruled against it. If you get a chance to make it down there in the next few months it's well worth it.
Few pics of the area near by. Some good camping up gardner canyon rd and Kentucky camp is a cool site to stop by and check out

 

That’s the one! And dang that is beautiful! Reminds me of where I grew up on the edge of the Black Hills of South Dakota and the prairie. I must go.

 

Gorgeous....

I'll need to get down there.

 

If I'm not mistaken you can take greaterville rd right past rosemount cooper and loop up and around over to Kentucky camp then head back out to the highway past the Santa rita abbey. Would be a very pretty off road loop. Could also turn up gardner canyon road to head up around 6k feet and camp along one of the creeks

I honestly think it's prettier than the ponderosa pines of the rim area. Only problem is it's too low at 5k feet or less for summer time. Good early fall through late spring spots. I love that whole area

 

Last year I was working for a day down near Elfrida and Rucker Canyon Rd......pretty close to where it backs onto the Chiricahuas I think....

I was in the work truck so I couldn't screw off but it was really pretty, tall grass meadows, leafy trees...I couldn't believe I was still in Arizona being so used to the valley.

 

This is all I got to look at. Fuel lines all done and wire harness is almost completely in it's place. Man I hope it runs as good as it looks.

 

Truly impressive!

 

I've heard good things about Weathertech but I went with Huskyliners myself.

I got the Weatherbeaters since that's all Amazon offered and have been very satisfied with them.

 

Considering what I started with I feel like it kind of is. Especially for a Polac.

 

Yay back to school. Boo goodbye early nights and good sleep.

 

I’m still amazed at all the different geological features of AZ. The dunes, snow capped peaks in the winter, grass plains, saguaro cacti, it’s like all the biomes of Mario in one state. Love it.

 

I've always liked the Young area. The drive from 260 down to Young, where you go from aspens to pines to junipers to scrub brush all in about 30 miles. I grew up in the tall pines and learned to drive on the FS and logging roads.

 

That's what makes the sky islands so cool to hike. Can climb through multiple different zones. I'm looking forward to reaching saguaro national park and the climb from 3000 to almost 9000 feet from saguaro to alpine in one section of trail.

 

Whats a good option for cleaning cloth seats that doesnt involve dropping $100 for a place to do it? Would rather spend $100 to just buy the equipment and chemicals myself

 

I couldn't find one, but the best price I found was https://www.customwheeloffset.com

EDIT: I just noticed they have my truck featured for the NV Bronze

 

I do not like.

 

Cleaning howso? Stains? Usually my go to for seats and carpeting is LA’s Totally Awesome Cleaner. Doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals like ammonia or acids. For cloth seats I usually dilute 50/50 with water in a small cup and use an old toothbrush. Scrub gently and pull out dirt/water with a microfiber/shopvac. May have to repeat with a stronger solution, heavier brush depending on the stain. From there you can see about shampooing/wet vacuuming. Since we live in satan’s butthole I always follow up with an enzymatic wetsuit cleaner like Seasoft Lemon GrenAide. It prevents perspiration stains/smells and keeps your seats looking and smelling fresh for quite a while. The LA cleaner and wetsuit enzyme cleaner should set you back only about $10 and is a good place to start.

 

After seeing the magic used on Ricardo, I'm convinced that @StillNoPickles is a straight up wizard!

 

Do F150's have the same wheels offset as us?
