How is Nov 27 for Hackberry Creek?
This still looking good? We should put some plans together.

Again, I would say a rear locker and mild lift with 33's would be about the least I would recommend. That and plan on some desert pinstriping because a lot of the trail is lined by manzanita bushes.

You can ride with me if you want to - my tires are brand new - and you'll be able to see clearly out my brand new windshield!

it's amazing what corners people will cut to save a buck...

on a side note, i think I might head out to Tip Top sometime this weekend. I haven't gone on a day trip yet so maybe sometime Saturday morning (Sunday is reserved for football).

... Speaking of only the top being glued down, I was wiping down the inside of my windshield yesterday (for the first time since I got the truck haha!) and pushed the whole top of the windshield out. What kind of glue do you use to make it actually stick?? I don't need a new windshield or anything and my ins. Wont cover a new one...

The group I usually go with has typically met at the Gold Canyon Shell. It's at the 60 and Mountainbrook Dr. There is a stoplight there so it is easy to get back out on the highway. Gas is usually pricey there though if you are thinking of topping off.

Gold Canyon Shell
7138 E US Highway 60
Gold Canyon, AZ 85118


Other options
Quik Trip #459
1141 S CRISMON RD (Southern and Crismon)
MESA, AZ 85208

If we start later:
Costco
1444 S Sossaman Rd (just off the freeway but likely not open til 10am)
Mesa, Arizona 85209-3400

There are also a couple stations in Superior that according to Mapquest are no more expensive than the east valley in case you decide at the last minute that you want to top off.

New to the Toyota world and love my 2nd gen 4Runner! I'm in the process of having my old (263,000 mile) 22RE engine replaced with a new Keith Black 22RE with 272 cam (9.7:1) along with a few other things. I'm located in Page,AZ and often trek up to Show Low,AZ to visit family.

i use a poly urethane based, glue no the average consumer can't get it (you have to be certified to get it). you could go to autozone and they sell some 3m stuff but it isn't as good, also keep in mind that if your glass is leaking it could be starting to unbond. with jeff's glass it was already starting to unbond on the passenger side all i had to do is give it a push and it basically flooped out on the hood (i caught it before it did that)

give me a buzz and we can work out something to get it safe again

Hey Mike, do you think you'll need a spotter? I guess what I'm really asking is: Is your passenger seat available? Till I see the trail, I don't want to take my "stock" 4Runner/ DD on anything requiring/ recommended to have a locker on...just yet. I have a feeling Santa is gonna be kind this year though.

1st. Annual ARIZONA OFF ROAD & RECREATION SHOW
News — By tgluckman on July 27, 2011 at 7:45 am

November 17,18,19,20, 2011
Thursday 2pm-9pm, Friday, 2pm-9pm • Saturday, 10am-8pm • Sunday, 10am-6pm
Arizona Exposition & State Fairgrounds • Phoenix, AZ

We would like to introduce you to the first annual Arizona Off-Road and Outdoor Recreation Show! We are excited to produce a consumer show for the Valley we can all point to with pride, with great attractions, speakers, promotions, exhibitors and sponsors to offer all the Off-Road and Outdoor Recreation enthusiasts!

Over the last 20 years we have produced, consulted, and/or participated in consumer shows and events from Southern Oregon to Southern California and into Arizona. We are very excited to bring our combined experience to Phoenix for the 1st annual Arizona Off-Road and Outdoor Recreation Show. We believe you would benefit from this show as an exhibitor, while enhancing both the quality and appeal of our presentation. Our goal is to feature exhibitors representing the breadth of the Off-Road and outdoor recreational pursuits in the community of our shows, specifically, over 4.4 million people in the Valley of the Sun with over $4 BILLION in buying power!

We expect our first show to draw an attendance of 20,000 or more! Our timing is at the highlight of preparation for the Winter Off-Road season! Well over 1,000 TV, Cable, and radio spots, dozens of newspaper and magazine ads, and thousands of collateral marketing materials will encourage the outdoor and Off-Road enthusiasts seeking the latest in equipment, services and supplies, while enjoying interactive attractions, seminars and a vast array of exhibits.

We are currently booking a number of headline attractions to complement the Freestyle MX show we have scheduled! These new attractions are sure to be appealing to patrons of all ages and interests. We invite you to join the many exhibits representing Off –Road, RVing, ATVing, dirt biking, 4 wheeling, boating, and their supporting advocacy groups and governmental agencies.

Sincerely yours,

Tony Trafton
