im doing a hackberry run on the 19th everyone is welcome to come out and break their junk

 

So I'm thinking Tip-Top mine, China Dam/Fort Tule or Black Canyon City

 

Haven't done any of those, but mines are cool to check out. Are they all on the north side of town? I'm down for whatever, I just want to spend some time out of town soon.

 

Got my new engine in, finishing up the rear suspension this friday!!!!! took the top off today! glorious weather!!! have to break in the engine though before any wheeling I NEED TO GO WHEELING!!!!!! havent seen my locker perform off road yet since the damn engine granaded...

 

They are both north of town - both are near the Table Mesa exit of the 17

I'll finalize the details tonite and let you know as soon as we get it all worked out.

Anyone else interested in coming along? the new Wells book says they are both mostly easy but have a few sections that are moderate - nothing a bone stock 4WD truck can't handle.

 

did some googling, looking more into those places, looks like these dudes (on dirt bikes) combined the china dam and tip-top. complete with pics, video, and gps tracks.
Might aid in planning a little

Because of time issues, we're only going to do the Tip-Top Mine part this weekend.

I'm thinking we'll meet up at the gas station off the 17 at Carefree Highway to the east - I think its a Chevron or Shell. Meet up around 8:30-9ish then head out when everyone arrives.

 

Sounds good!

 

I wish I could make it but have to work this weekend. The wife and I have been wanted to go wheelin. On a side note does anybody know of a cool mine to go check out around the phoenix area?

 

here's some of what you missed by not coming to tip top mine:

 

tip top is great great little run we where up there Friday nite went all the way to packer

 

Hopefully next time I wont have to work and I will be able to join you guys

 

I'm planning another adventure for this up coming weekend - not 100% sure where yet, but most likely in that same area (New River/Black Canyon City) I'm contemplating China Dam, Black Canyon City Outlook, Gasline/Pinpeline Rd

I'll post up more as I figure things out - everyone is more than welcome to come!

 

My next weekend I have is the 19 so that sucks. So hopefully there will be something going on for that weekend

 

Damnit! That is the only weekend I'm not available! Well, I have comitted to work on Saturday, but that doesn't mean we can't go wheelin on Sunday!

Actually, I'm going to see if I can get my team to change our work day from Saturday to Sunday - I won't know that answer until after this upcoming weekend.

Either way - I'll keep ya posted

 

That would be great

 

I should be good for this weekend! Maybe I'll get a decent air compressor by then too haha.

 

Picked up another 96 yesterday. Auto, E-locker, Mickey Thompson 305's with spidertracks on all 4 corners. (they're going away quickly)

Not planning on doing much to this one. Few more inches of lift in the front and some treadwrights and call it done.

 

Links relocated and upgraded to hexagonal aluminum.

 

Another sharp looking 4Runner. That's quite the collection you've got now.

Looking good! Fixing that rear link geometry makes a big difference.
