Alright guys I'm once again new to Arizona and I'm trying to become more active in the wheeling community. I have a '98 4runner, OME suspension, 1" BL, 33" swampers other than that the vehicle is stock.

I'm not looking to tear up my 4runner as she's my daily driver. Is this a run I can make with a fairly stock vehicle without doing damage to her?

Looking forward to meeting some of you eventually.

Brian

EDITED: Nevermind, I just saw the difficulty ratings in the rus schedule listed in previous thread. Thanks!

You can always ride along with someone. Just ask if anyone will have an open seat. I think cruiserjim and war rated both have open seats the last time I talked to them.

Welcome to Arizona, where the on-line 4Runner world and the real 4Runner world take different paths.

We can have more "everybody" runs, but no one wanted to attend. This is a rock buggy trip, but Grady will be fine, he knows what to do and not to do.

SSSHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't tell him about the token Rover until he's been sucked in and has no other choice for people to wheel with!

And besides, the only reason I don't do those other obstacles is that you Yota guys' trucks aren't strong enough to pull out the Big Red Anchor if it gets stuck again!

And to think of it... I'd like to bet that I am prolly the only Rover here on the Yota boards. How's that for ballsy?

I would like to...how bad is May? Since we aren't going to Moab, I need to do something with you guys. Probably riding with someone but I don't care.

I need to call Steve so he can chew me out about always wanting to come down when it's warming up or hot.

Ya, May isn't the best month to be visiting. Somewhere around 100. Better than June-Sept though.

The Pyeatt Draw run is up near Payson, which is quite a bit cooler. Table Mesa is just north of PHX, not any cooler.

Maybe I'll wait. I figured if you had a run planned then the temps wouldn't be too bad. That's why I asked if anything was planned.

Sorry for the hijack Steve.

The area may be closed. We are looking into it.

Suggestions for a backup run?

H2H?
