AZ BS Thread 4.2⁰

What i found that made my pp tingle was that there is a group doing trail cleanups. They just got through FR42 near Bartlett. This was a welcomed site for sure. 42 was the 1st gnarly washed out trail I ever went on when I was introduced to what crawling was. I know the road was closed after the fires many many moons ago so im thinking that come November some of us can make the trip. From the pictures it still looks wicked washed out and off camber and sure to flex the rigs the fuck out.

@Blender, i need to get your #. We went on a few runs recently that im sure you wouldve been down for.

 

Ive got a 120 now and considering swapping my 68 Bronco for a 40

 

Keep the bronco, and get a 40. Makes perfect sense to have both legendary rigs

 

Are we talking IPAs here? Damn I want a beer now.

 

Land Cruisers, get with the program mang.

 

Ha I know I just really been craving the Dog Fish Head Brewery 120 min IPA. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm Beerrrrrrr

 

@sean266 Can you do something generous and sticky the BS 5.0 so that our brethren can find the new thread quicker? Grassy Ass (Redneck Spanish for "thank you")

 

@The Fluffer cool it! I don't want to see you get banned or this thread get locked.

 

Mobil 1 5W-30 Full Synthetic 5QT is running for $22 on Walmart.

 

Fuck it.. Pull a @RPS1030 .. Kick out the windshield.. They're both good to go!

 

And use a hilift on the roof!

Still though, these drivers seemed to take the flop rather well.

 

ok. Ill keep it and get the 40 too. Now to figure where to put it....

 

Couldn't find a regional topic thread for Arizona and figured this one is crazy active, unless you boys get it shut down again.

Need some advice or suggestions.

In the next few years, I will be moving out of MD for a lot of reasons. The state taxes are stupid high, might as well be Russia when it comes to gun control, housing is extremely expensive, 80% or more of our sales go to the west coast, no where to wheel over here really and the main reason is my wife wants to move to Arizona. She was thinking Flagstaff area...

With my ignorance to the state, what are the good/bads about Arizona? We are in to outdoors stuff, camping, hiking, biking, fishing. Areas to look for, to avoid? Where are the wheeling spots in reference to Flagstaff, doesn't need to be in the state. I would need an area with some industry, will need a commercial shop to keep Mobtown going. Flagstaff have a good amount of that? Where I am now, commercial space is $$$$ being so close to the port, Baltimore and DC.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

 

Flagstaff is a college town most of the year and a spot for retirees the rest of it. Although a beautiful town im not so sure about a shop there. Phoenix has all the industrial space you could want.

I would look into Payson if you want to stay out of the big city.

 

Id prefer to stay out of cities and neighborhoods if possible. I like my privacy.

 

We all do, and that isnt how they build housing developments anymore. Im practically in my neighbors asses im so close.

Look at Payson, AZ. You can get to Phoenix pretty easily to get steel and can definitely get shop space at a decent price im sure.

 

Hey!

Like @iJonny said, Flag is a College town. Phoenix is hot 8 months out of the year. Payson is nice for a small town and get's less snow than Flag. Plenty of wheeling in much of the state. The Central/Northern from East to West part of the state ranges from 5000/7500 feet in elevation with mtn exceeding that with San Francisco Peaks being the tallest in the state at about 12k. @snowtank can tell you about the white mtns as that is where he has been living for a few years.

Oh, and the TW community here is awesome with people all around the state.

 

In reference to wheeling. Flagstaff and to Phoenix is the center line of the state. 2-3 hours in any direction and the landscape changes and there is plenty of wheeling from high speed to crawling/ breaking axle terrain.
