ARIZONA - Sonoran Steel 4WD Trip: Reno Pass, January 7, 2006

We have another 4WD trip planned for January 7, 2006 to run the Reno Pass Trail. We will meet at the Arby’s Parking lot at Shea Boulevard and the Beeline Highway (AZ87) again. Meeting time is 8:30am, pull out is 9:00am. The trail is up the Beeline (87) in between Sunflower and Pumpkin Center.

If anyone has any questions feel free to e-mail me. The trail is listed in the Arizona Well’s book as well as Arizona Backroad Adventures. Any 4WD vehicle should be fine, a newer Tacoma Pre-Runner with a rear locker and the 3.4 motor should be fine as well. Anyone that needs a strap or a winch will be taken care of.

Hope to see you on the run.

I'm fairly certain I'll be available. Just found out (errr...."remembered") that the father-in-law will be in town that weekend. I think he'd be game to ride along, though. Steve, any concerns about rolling in the one section one online map had marked as a 5.0? I don't have any trail books -- guess I should pick one up, huh?

It looks like your bumper will be here the 27th or 28th. I have to call them and set up a delivery or go get it.

I'd love to go, this has been on my list of trails to try for awhile. Hopefully my truck is still home and running when I get back to town later this week!

I am new to yotatech. I have an almost completly stock 4Runner, and I live in Fountain Hills. I work on the 7th(waaaaaa!) but as soon as I get off, I'm going up fishing/camping at Roosevelt where my dad and his friends will be. Any chance you guys will still be there towards the evening hours(3:00 on), or on Sunday? I'd like to at least watch. Or any other trail runs planned in the next 2 months around here?
Let me know, thx

I think we'll be long gone, but you can head out next time.

Hey Steve,

Sorry but I'm not going to be able to make it Saturday after all. :pat: I was really looking forward to this one too. Hope to make the next one.

Thanks...Max

I'm a "fer sure" now. We'll be out there around 8:30. Steve, any chance the truss is a quick bolt up operation and we could do it in the parking lot before the run?

Nope, the truss needs 4: 3/8" holes drilled and I'm building those next week. This week I have to finish the two 3rd Gen rear bumpers.
