Arizona Offroading Pictures

since my taco was too long and only on 33.6” tires I had to be a spotter on this run with 37” bronco and 37” jeeps near Florence. Weekend was a blast and extremely challenging with 5” fist size sidewall puncture and having to attach winch recovery to shorter wheelbase vehicles on descents. Amazing views such a shame I can’t get out there before it becomes the worlds largest copper mine and people can’t travel here. Camped on river island water was crazy low.

 

Back in the day, my mom had a bronco like that. If i remember right it had 33s on it.

 

Btw, what do you have against Jeeps? Why only a pic of the bronco? You might hurt someone's feels by not posting Jeep pics.

 

these owners aren’t threatened by a taco owner around them. Hahaha
Still sorting photos and waiting for other photos and videos as we were at the back.

 

Got a pretty good photo from a Flagstaff to Grand Canyon trip last July.

 

Went to Mt. Ord today. Some sketchy spots of slick ice, but not too bad.

 

Some exciting travel near Bumble Bee/Cleator/Crown King/Prescott this weekend.

For anyone's info, the Castle Creek Road trail on Alltrails.com is no longer passable by a Tacoma (unless you are more brazen than I) due to a washed out portion of road next to a rock wall.

Wow you are brave to do those water crossings. Did you walk them first to determine depth?
Great photos

 

Brave, or stupid. I usually walk a fine line between the two.

We kerplunked some stones and tested with branches, but did not physically walk into the water as neither of us had waders/waterproof clothing.

Water looks higher in the photos than I remember in reality, but nothing got inside the truck and nothing malfunctioned, even with the truck running for over 12 hours straight the next day.

Thanks, still working on my amateur photo skills.

 

Bloody Basin Trail, a couple weeks ago

 

Went to check out some ruins.

 

Went Off-roading in Sedona yesterday and had a blast! I don’t have much of a lift at all pretty much leveled. The only thing I did was scrape the hitch portion. Didn’t use my Drone this time. Went down the stairs and didn’t bottom out on anything.

 

Did you get the chance to go back up?

 

Nice pic. Your signature says your Tacoma is supercharged and turbocharged, that true?

 

Holy fuck that is amazing!!!!!

 

Did a run up to Lake Powell. This is a little bit up in Utah side but a nice area to off-road Its also not too hard. Also make Arizona Off-roaring pictures great again!

 

My brother and I ran Greasy Spoon up near Sedona last weekend. It was a nice trail, and some beautiful scenery, too. Enough of a challenge to keep it fun, but not wild enough to scare my wife and kids too much.

 

I’m in the Tucson area this week, vacationing and squaring away my new home. The Tumacacori mountains in the south western Coronado NF are asking me to visit. I may hit them up tomorrow.
