alright guys who is up for running box canyon and martinez cabin?? depending on who goes may go past the cabins a little ways

best place to meet would be the gas station in gold canyon right off the 60 , just past albertsons , there is a mcyd's attached to it on the east side of the 60

Aaron, I really want to go, but I am supposed to be volunteering at the Outdoor Expo at Ben Avery Shooting Range. The Expo runs from Fri-Sun, so I could try to switch my day from Sat to Sun. That way I could join you guys on the 29th.

I'll know more by midweek. Hopefully, my motor mounts will be fixed by then, too. BTW, I'll be doing the "chain mod" to my mounts when I get my truck back.

hey ted changed the run to sunday

Awesome!!! I'll be there.

Not sure but i might make this one. saturday looked better but i will see for sunday.
thx for the invite
Onix

on call cant make it

among other reasons...

hey guys since we have a couple people doin a ride along lets go ahead and meet up 8AM at the albertsons on the east side of the 60 in gold canyon , so they can leave their trucks there instead of the gas station , then if we need to top off we can either right up the road or in florence

Sunday works for me.

I get off at 7:00 & by the time I pick up kiddo I should just make 8:00.

How long a day are we planning?

That's great Tom. It will be good to wheel with you again. We'll probably be out there for a good portion of the day.

cool , yeah as long as we now your coming we will wait for ya , and yeah we will probably be out there most of the day so definalty bring plenty of water and a lunch

oh and we run channel 14 on the cb

I don't think Pluvo (Tom) has a CB yet, but I know he has FRS. I have two FRS radios, so I'll bring both of them if anyone wants to borrow one.

Wally u gonna make it????

nope i gotta go to work i need to ship a couple of cars and fix Lucky13 truck.have fun

no prob , hope nothing to major is damaged on lucky's x

Yup, just running FRS at the moment.

well i might be going after all i thought it was today ....we are still waiting for the part for luckys truck we have been waiting from 8:00 am depo trucks last run is 12:30 dam people Grrrrrrr,..

Ok randy and i will meet you guys there we are hooking up on the ten off of casablanca rd at shell and then meet at the trail head at 9:00.
Madman,Sheila,Onix,Chris

DBAX is gonna go

Wow, this is shaping up to be a really good run.

I just finished putting my skids back on. I also put my Yakima basket on. Unfortunately, I might not have time to wire the rear red fogs.

ya i was gonna do some new mods myself but i have been to busy fixing everyone elses rigs.
changing the bumper lights again and preping for rock lights but no time left.

Is this trail stock capable? If not, my buddy keeps hinting that he wants to come with his dodge ram. That might be interesting.

I'm lookin' to be at the Shell station @ 8am

sweet, yeah like ted said looks like its gonna turn out pretty well

as far as he dodge i wouldnt recommend it , very tight in there now since the rains so pinstriping will be had, plus its tight in general , but totally up to your buddy

and it is possibly to do it stock but just have to be careful and listen to your spotter

IMHO, you can do Box Canyon in a stock truck, but the cabins are not stock friendly.

got bigger tires and a custom r/leafpac and sliders this round so this will be fun

I've made a promise not to go too big .. Truth is, I'm a little gunshy about wheeling this thing out there.. It's a long ways from home, and I hate to sit on the sidelines. I'm looking forward to getting out either way, it's gonna' be a good day 'Tater.

again guys we are running 14 for this one on cb's
d-bax which shell u talking about? the one wally is talkng about or the one on the 60?

last we spoke He was meeting up with us

Well, considering the size of my buddy's truck and the lack of any mods on my X, my friend I are going to four peaks instead. Have fun tomorrow!

shell on Casablanca
CB's not hooked up yet, so FRS 14-0 for me..

I must have missed the Albertson's, so I'm gonna try my luck at the trail head.

Made it home What a great day! Thanks for waiting at the Shell station guys, glad we found you. Lots of pics to come..

Takin the 4Runner out there on 12th with some guys from work. Her first official run

I just made it back, too. Sorry we missed you guys at the cabins. Our intent was to go to the mine and then loop back and meet you guys at the cabins. Penksi got hung up pretty good in the rock garden just before the mine. It took awhile to get him out. We ended up exiting on the 60 instead of through the box. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

DBAX, I've got a good video of you at the hill climb.

BTW, the guys at Nissanoffroad.net will have links to some additional pictures in the coming days. You can find the Arizona forum as a "child board" of the USA - West forum.

Here is a picture of Pluvo (Tom) at the poser rock in Box Canyon:



I'll post some more tonight.

Looks like a fair amount of water in the canyon.

Yeah T-Ray, there was a surprising amount of water running down. It was a blast and it was good to have D-Bax and family get out there.

It was great to be out there..
Here's some of my pics from the day-
1st I've gotta' thank these guys (Hector and Ramon) for pointing out the trailhead to me and mine, wouldn't have made it there w/o their help. And secondly, there's no video, but dude in the Toyota drove up the hardline on the playhill backwards in his $50 Toyota. Un-be-fawking-lievable.. Jessica said, "He's a great driver, or he's gotta' be crazy." A man after my own heart.






Dinner at The Old Pueblo was great!

Sweet pictures Dude!

Here is a link to the Nissanoffroad.net site that will link to the pictures that Brutus (Dan) took - he was riding shotgun with Penski.

Here are my Flickr pics:

I have to say the videos have great audio, I can clearly hear Jessica pleading with Dan not to go down that middle run.

I had a lot of fun, except for a few challenges. I'm not sure which was worse, the 3 hours we spent fighting to get Penski unstuck or fighting the Ren Faire traffic on the way home. :rolleyes:

My truck is a little sad though:


Oh, for future reference, the Albertson's is actually a Basha's.

Time to break out the Sawzall for that tail pipe!

Yep, that takes about a minute.

Sad to see the roof finally came down on the little cabin.

Nice run guys.

AZ-Ted, we set AZXC a forum up over on N4W some time ago that you guys are more than welcome to use as well.

NOR is so east coast

Thanks for the videos Ted, I see I got a tire up in vid1 at 57 seconds, woot.
Pluvo, that's called a MOSI, and like a mooshed-in bumperette, it's a Gen1 "badge of honor", congratulations.

I'm gonna leave it like it is for now, I think it adds character.

Yeah, that was pretty cool to see your tire up. I'm glad you and the family were able to make it out there. Next time, I'll take more video footage.
