Tucson Meet & Greets

I'm free pretty much whenever.

 

Help Tusconians.... I am looking for a place to camp and explore in the Tucson area. I generally dry camp with my RV in a base camp and go from there. Moderate trails like Broken arrow ish. Thanks for your help.

 

What side of Tucson are you interested in?

SouthEast- try Gardner Canyon area. Beautiful scenery approx 5kFT elevation, very rural.

SouthWest- try Mt Hopkins area. Very rural, 4500FT elevation very secluded.

NorthWest- try Tortalita MTNs off of MARANA Rd exit on I10. 2500FT elevations close to amenities

NorthEast- try Mt Lemmon or Reddington Areas the sky is the limit.

 

I have been looking at Nogales Ranger District, just west of Tubac and Rio Rico. The Tumacacori Mountains.

 

There are some nice spots out towards Sonoita. Greaterville Rd and Empire Ranch Road off of the 83 lead to some cool stuff. There are a lot of spots down Empire.

 

Thanks for the ideas, I am looking for as secluded as possible, I do not like people that much. I will check out all of the recommendations.

 

Hey guys, does anybody have any shop recommendations to do wheel bearings in tucson? I have been chasing down a weird noise/vibe and wheel bearings are one of the last things on the list. They seem ok when lift the wheel up and try to move it. But I know I've never changed them and I'm not sure if the previous owner ever did.

Anyway, appreciate the help! '99 xcab taco, 4x4, 3.4

 

Anyone available this Wednesday (27th) night to get together for a beer or two?

 

I’ll be CA bound Wednesday, maybe the following week? Been a hot minute since our last beer night

 

Yeah it’s been too long. Seems like it’s always a bad time for somebody. I just hoped that with the holiday Thursday, it would work out for more people. But if not this week then let’s plan for soon.

 

Hey Andrew. I'm down. But would ask if we can meet up on the east side or around downtown. Maybe dragoon or 1912. I live down in sahuarita so it's a little easier for me. Let me know what time.

 

But only if the new wheel bearing I'm getting tomorrow fixes the issue I've been having with my truck cuz it's getting a little sketchy to drive. Lol

 

Trying again. I’ll probably get annoying with these if it never happens but I really wanna get a local group meet going and possibly more regular and some mod days etc.

Anybody up for a meet this weekend or early next week?

 

I can grab a beer tomorrow if you want

 

Time and a place, I'll try to be there too.

 

Are we still working on your garage tomorrow Todd?

Is afternoon or early evening good for you Patrick?

 

Either one, I’m going to be doing a little maintenance on the prerunner in the am to get it ready to sell. Got a low key day planned tomorrow

 

Yeah, we can for sure. What time works for you?

 

Does anyone have any shop recommendations to get an Icon stage 2 kit installed and some wheels and tires. The Icon site lists 4wheel parts on speedway or SDHQ in Phoenix. Anyone have any experience with either of those shops?

 

What is included in the parts list? Cant do it yourself with a small group of us to assist/drink your beers?

FWIW I didn't like my experience with 4WP about 8yrs ago.
