Thats how we roll

 

Ha ha damn not one 4Runner lol that is nuts though gonna have to make a trip down there and come wheeling in AZ sometime

 

Wow is that every TW member in AZ?

One heep to mess up the entire shot.

 

then why aren't there more az trucks heading to Moab?

 

Good question Haha, I have asked the same thing. Most of them are prerunner set up and 2WD. That's the only thing I can think of, but a big portion of AZ guys won't leave their comfort zone. And no, that is not every member Haha, not even close. That's probably juat a few Phoenix area members and maybe one or two Tucson guys.

I don't know if Bob will want a new thread to discuss trails and trail leaders etc. but I'll start off the discussion. At this point I am still planning to lead Trifecta on Thursday, unless Bob says I'm not needed.

Trifecta is a LONG trail so we need an early start time. I'm thinking 8:00am. Also because of how long the trail is, it can get really overwhelming with a large group so we've suggested keeping this run to about 10 trucks if at all possible. I don't want to turn anyone away but this isn't a trail for novice drivers or stock trucks. Use good judgement about this trail. If you don't think you're truck is capable enough or you're worried about breakage and/or body damage, or you don't have much 4wheeling experience there might be a better trail choice for you.

I don't know the best way to handle claiming spots on this run because I think there is a lot of interest in it.

Bob/Jace: feel free to change how this is set up if you want to handle it differently but I guess I'll just start a list here.

I recommend trucks on this run have a lift and at least 32" tires. At least one locker is strongly recommended. Armor and skidplates are suggested as well, you will use them. Breakdowns and body damage are likely on this trail. Bring food and LOTS of water for the day. Plan on 8-10 hours+ on the trail if we have a full group. Plan on longer if we have breakdowns. Each truck should have a tow strap, strong front and rear frame mounted recovery points, CB radio, trail spares. I can't enforce it but for the runs I'm leading I would request that alcoholic beverages not be consumed during the trail run. With a trail like this and for the benefit of the entire group, eliminating unnecessary complications and leaving the alcohol until after the run will help keep people on their A game.

Trifecta on Thursday will meet at 8:00am at the Poison Spider Mesa Trail parking lot. CB Channel 22. Once we have a full group signed up, I'll PM my cell # to the group in case you need to get a hold of me.
