Good day of wheeling....BUT!!!

Well, just got back from a fun day of wheelilng out in florence jct.. Basically did the same trails that we did at AZROCKS, and a few more that I wasn't able to do that day. That was the good part, truck did great. Unfortunately I now get to donate some of my hard earned $$ to Superior,AZ because officer friendly thought 90mph in a 65 was a little extreme. Not my fault though, my friend in his full size bronco thought he wanted to race....unfortunately my SC just cost me more money as when I had about 10+ car lengths just about to shut down there sits a nice dps officer on the next dip...oh well I guess I get to help keep up those nice wheeling areas.

Same spot, stopped half way checking clearance. There's a good 2-3 foot drop on the pass side...my photographer doesn't bother to take pix of Or, how tall all this is, you can kind of tell by me standing there...

Ok, and for those lunatics out there that don't consider that "wheeling" which I assure you it is, here's a pic from the AZRocks event. Its the guy everyone called "chef", a '02 double cab, solid axle swap and about 8 inches lift with 35s. Yes, he did go all the way over this rock....not just taking pics, that was in the act.

Dude, get your sliders and we'll get a handful of rigs together and run Ajax ! I'd like to squeeze in one more trip before I get busy with the summer business travel and 4Runner mods (top secret stuff y'know).

Gadget, the trees are Mesquite, the cactus is Ocotillo, Cholla and Saguaro. Dang it, drag yerself out here so we can pick your brain on performance and take you out for some "sandpaper" rocks and Mexican food!

I'm getting to that!!!! I have decided to also get a 2 inch body lift , and thus do the sliders after its lifted so they look right. I already email'd roger B. and I'm ready to go, just need time to install the lift and get a time slot in with Xtreme...I'm definately down though!

I was out there in October. I spent a couple of days in Tuson. I saw lots of those strange trees when I was there along with a very deep hole with a missle in it.

I'd like to get together with you when you install your body lift. I've been thinking about doing 1-2" or so. Then I will want 33's but oh well.

How do you like your Kenwood? I just put in a Panasonic 7" Screen/DVD player and I love it.

Urp... You were out playing with an Atlas?

Gadget, what do you do? I was under the impression that you were a local police detective?
