Minimum Equipment required

Winch, lockers, recovery gear, skid plates and minimum 33" tires (35" preferred). Potential for body damage and of course AZ pinstriping exists.


Reach out if you have any questions, otherwise I hope to see as many members that can make it

for any of, or all the days we will be wheeling!

Who knows... maybe we can make it a yearly event....

Well here we are a week out from what appears to have turned into quite an event! Thanks to Mike @Beestinger and Milt @PurpleTJAZ for putting this together. Looks like there has been a really good response to it. Its been a really wild last couple of weeks, wound up picking up a new to us tow rig ( 2022 F350 SRW LWB 6.7 Limited) and this is the fanciest and most complicated vehicle we've ever bought, this trip will give us time to figure it out! Finally got the correct locker parts and got my rig back together and on its wheels. Working on tweaking a few things and she'll be ready for the desert. Looking forward to seeing all of our old friends from years past and meeting new ones. Rick we are sorry to hear about your pups injuries and hope he is on the mend, hope to catch up with you at Sand Hollow in May.

Yep it is sounding like a great time... Wish I was going to be there...

Ryder is healing and pretty much back to his old self at this point.

That's good to hear, dogs are amazing when it comes to healing and dealing with pain.

Guys I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I am out tomorrow. Two of my most important clients schedule meetings tomorrow and I’m not pushing those to the side. I am unfortunately busy all day Saturday and Sunday with birthdays and company in town.

I could be available next weekend though. I have to be in Phoenix Friday, so I could do a night run that night or a run Saturday morning.

 

[Bob in Texas]

Well here we are back at the house, got home yesterday afternoon and we were wore out ! We had an absolutely awesome time being back in the desert with our old friends and new friends. We would like to thank @PurpleTJAZ and @Beestinger for organizing and putting together this really great bunch of trails! We did several new trails both challenging and scenic. We were able to meet up with @DaveC who kindly gave us about 30-40 lbs. of grapefruit, gotta love that desert citrus, thanks Dave! It’s always fun getting together and running trails with @Farmergreg and his manual rubicon LJ on 33’s, he’s a beast! We also got to meet up with some guys we haven’t seen in a while @JHammett and @xXDavidCXx and new friends @Rubeyu and @E-Ticket. Here are some pictures of the weekend runs:

Oh and how did I miss @misstrailprincess

I appreciate the mention in your post @Bob in Texas, but I didn't make any of those trails with ya'll. It looks like ya'll had a great time.

Well chit, sorry @DavidBT for the mixup, I really meant and should have been @xXDavidCXx, I guess I just got in a hurry I’ll do better next time! Yes sir we had a great time! Thanks

No problem @Bob in Texas. I'm roughly 2.5 hours south east of Phoenix, and though I would love to make it up that way to meet and wheel with all of the great people on here, it's makes for a pretty long day of driving.

It's always a great time when @Bob in Texas and Mrs are in town.
Thumbs up to @Beestinger (the tail) and @PurpleTJAZ (the Alpha) for setting up some diverse trails to ride.
