    Relocated to AZ from the frigid deep snow area of western NY this past Feb and have been eyeing all the jeep and forest roads near-by. Moved my 08 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS out here with the hopes of modifying enough to play in the dirt, but lacking a true 4 wheel set up with a low range, that was just was not going to happen. Considered lots of options, IE Wranglers, FJ's, Xterra's but settled on a Taco. Everywhere I look around here I see them, and everyone I speak to about them seem to love them and sing their praises. Looked to buy one locally but they are crazy expensive with tons of miles. Ended up buying and shipping one from NYS and saved $$$ vs buying local. Truck arrives next week and I'm quite excited. Looking forward to making some friends here and learning lots about my new toy.

    Located in Cornville / Cottonwood area. Between Sedona to the NE and Minus right out my back window, there seem to more destinations by dirt and rock than by road

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I think in AZ you can cut off the cats, so enjoy that! Welcome to TW and congrats for getting to a free state!
