    Butcher Jones Trail to 4 Peaks Road- December 2016

    Since I still had never been to Butcher Jones near Saguaro Lake, @JTS2014TACO and I decided to do a quick run out there and check it out. I'm glad I was finally able to get out there and see it, the views were pretty awesome! I also got to use my newly downloaded LeadNav App which made for easy navigation :thumbsup: We aired down for smooth wheeling and headed toward Cove 1 first, lemme just say these ADS 3.0's floating on 24-25psi is what dreams are made of! :cool:
    [​IMG]

    Parked at Cove 1, but didn't stay too long since there were quite a few people camped out. Definitely will be coming back to check out all the coves when we have more time!

    Heading out to 4 Peaks road. When the day I finally own a RZR comes, this trail is near the top of my list to break it in ;)

    Looking back toward Saguaro Lake. Time for poser shots!

    Crown King Trail - December 2016

    The next day after Butcher Jones, @JTS2014TACO and I headed out early to run the Backway to Crown King Trail North of Lake Pleasant. This was another trail I always wanted to do with my Tacoma but the trail is long, 4x4 recommended, and always changing from the weather. Now that I've done it I have no doubt I could've run it in Rinzler, but moving on to bigger and better things this year I'm glad I could run this trail for the first time in Tron :thumbsup: We had planned for a few more trucks but it ended up being just us and @Brian007Taco

    I need to teach Jamie how to take landscape pics :p but it was a slightly stressful situation haha. Couple obstacles in and I was reminded how long this truck is...but I still made it over with a little skinny pedal and use of my @SDHQ OFFROAD Sliders :cool:
    [​IMG]

    Made it! Looks so simple from here, but looking at the size of the road below you can sort of get an idea
    [​IMG]

    I have a lot of GoPro video to go through from this trip and plan to upload it. I recorded myself going through most the obstacles but don't have pics... This obstacle was tight for Tron and I have some new battle scars on the sliders, but for Jamie's taco it was a really good articulation challenge. He got hung up just before this, but with a quick shift into crawl control it literally walked right through the rest of it. His front tire was off the ground in the first one, and the rear tire was teetering in the second pic!

    New Years Eve Shenanigans 2016

    For new years eve, the wife and I drove up to Flagstaff, AZ to stay with our good friends and family. Wasn't really planning to wheel, but there was snow with a ton on the way, and I had not seen snow for the entire year of 2016! So with that said Mike, Andrew and I all headed out toward Schnebly Hill Road from Flagstaff for some muddy snow wheeling!
