    Nothing yet... Bought it with TWO miles on it!!!
    I am planning on my first outing in the '16 DCLB OR4wd tomorrow. I wasn't wanting to get into anything too crazy, since I'll have the kiddo and wife with me.
    Has anyone from Phoenix ran Box Canyon from Wittenburg before? We haven't received rain in a while, so I don't think it will be too bad.
    I used to run river bottoms back home in Texas. I'm familiar with sink holes and sticky mud from out there, but I'm not sure if the Phoenix area is any different.
    I'll have basic recovery equipment, but no winch.
    Let me know! Thanks!

    Well, braved it with no problems.
    Anyone in the west valley area wanting to do this little trail, it's great for the fam and a stock pickup. Played with the crawl control a little. Fairly impressed.
    We went about 1/2 mile past the actual canyon. Got out and walked around after that.

    I didn't see your post, probably better to put trips into the Arizona thread. I haven't been through there in 5 or 6 years but it's a good one for an easy trail.

    Past that walled canyon, there's a grassy spot off to the left. Gotta go up a little hill. If there's a little clearance on your trailer, shouldn't be an issue.

    This is the hill just after the canyon.
    Put my phone in a tree, used the crawl control (for the first time!) It went up no problem.

    Good looking truck! Arizona is a dope spot to go romping around in it. Im sure you'll find yourself using that crawl control more and more:)
