Place called Butcher Jones behind Saguaro Lake.

I learned a couple things about the yota this weekend...First and foremost...Holy mother of god do I need better tires! I made it up everything I attempted, but it wasn't easy with all the loose sand/rutted hills.

Second, I need gears and at least a rear locker.

Third, Suspension...Need more flex, bad.

Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with what it was capable of for being basically stock...There must have been a toyota club out there, there were probably 8-10 Toyotas in a group...Some of them were pretty serious looking rigs.

looks like a great time.

with your Dodge Buddy's wheel base might want to talk him into some sliders (not nerfbar steps)....The rockers on my Brother in law's Duramax were expense to fix and my sister was pissed she could not open her door

I love it out there - I wish I would have seen your post sooner cuz we were out there Saturday, but we usually bypass the 2nd cove because its a little small compared to the others.

Next time you head out hit me up - I know my way around there pretty good!

Heck I'm not even in Arizona but I want to go too! If ya'll decide to go again hit me with a PM a week or so in advance and I'll make the road trip just to camp next to WATER.

There were a couple times where I thought my buddy in the Dodge was going to come down hard and tear up his rockers.
