Norther Arizona Holiday Fun

Day 5
With our grand adventure behind us, we set off back to Flagstaff.
- First we stopped by Horseshoe Bend, and again we were complete turned off by the 10+ tour busses in the parking lot, but we paid the $10 admission fee and trudged through the crowd to get a look.
- Next we headed towards the Hopi Indian reservation to see the Wupatki Indian ruins and to hunt for a legendary waterfall
- After a fun filled day we headed back to Flagstaff to eat burritos and hit the local thrift stores.

 

The final day, I dropped my friend at the Flagstaff train station and got out of dodge just in time as a big snow storm was moving in.

What a trip it was, jammed some of the most beautiful scenery into a few days all while staying warm and safe. We met a lot of locals on the reservation that were happy to tell you about their people and their history. A big lesson to take away is to announce your presence when you arrive on the reservation, if you drive by a dwelling and you see someone eyeing you down, stop and say hi, be gracious, be grateful, ask if you could help with anything, let them know you are there to appreciate them and their beautiful land. The natives were happy to tell us about local spots, but only after we made introductions and told them our intentions. I don't blame them one bit, I'd want to save this beautiful land from just anyone with 4 wheel drive.

 

Thanks! It's been one for the record books. Appreciate the compliments, I've worked hard for this truck and seeing these amazing sites makes it all worth it.

 

Man, truck looks great! Apologize if you already answered this somewhere, but I didn't see it in the thread. What's your lift/tire setup? Thanks man!

 

Thanks man

I’ve got Icon stage 3 shocks with SPC upper control arms, rear springs are an Icon add a leaf on a set of 2018 TRD Pro leaf springs. It’s about 2”-2.5” lift and sits perfectly level.

Tires are 285/70/17 BFG KM3’s. So overall about 3” over stock.

Also, I must say These tires pretty much saved my life on this trip!

 

Thanks for the reply man, you've got an amazing setup! The trip looks like it's tons of fun!

 

Thanks man, I've been fortunate enough to get most of my mods second hand. Vilmont Market on instagram is full of cheap gems. My entire lift cost me about $800 all in.
