I don't know that area, so plz enlighten me. there will be a sign off of the 17 Carefree highway?

North on I-17 to Carefree Hwy. Head east on Carefree Hwy, Chevron station is on the left less than a mile from I-17.

Mark, would love to have another 1st Gen truck along, hope you can make it.

I think the Carefree Highway (HWY 87?) is exit 224 or so on the I17 if that helps Yasha.

Tim, we're pretty likely to make it I think. Shan is hemming and hawing at the moment because school is pretty busy for her, but I think she'll come around

Mark

Pluvo, you in?

So who is all going Can we make a list of everyone to show so that we don't leave anyone behind? And it is 8 @ the gas station not the trail head right? I am so excited to going wheeling with you all again!

Here's a before pic. Since we're looking at rears.

Well, looks like i'm out. I have to work on Saturday. Have fun out there...

Check the first/orignal post big fella...it has been constantly updated.

8:00am at the gas station...don't be late, we have a lot of trucks going and need to get on the trail cause it can be a long one!!! Bring lunch and be ready for lots of mud and possibly snow.

IM IN

Onix... I have an adjustible drop hitch to I think 8" You're welcome to it... Just let me know in time.

karlover007... I was my truck when it's at the dealers ... Just got some more sqeeks nailed down last Monday so last months mud has been washed away.

As for the trip... Put me down for a probably. Sheila is out for sure though, she has other plans.

Yasha... I drug ProjectX up some of the mud last time so just stay near me if I make it And remember, I only have 100ft on the winch and another 60ft in tow straps... So no pulling me off the mountain, I won't be able to get us back to the top :p

The new tires still haven't been on rock... So Onix or DBAX is going to have to show me that side trail we skipped last time... I think I'm gaim for it now. Give these babies a good test finally.

I just have to do a little work on the truck tonight (since I think I have plans tomorrow night) and then I should be ready. Gotta adjust my shackles... The catch... All my tools are in boxes since I was cleaning the garage and just got a new tool chest to move everything to the other night... So I'll have to dig for the wrenches and sockets.

I should be fine. as long as I don't fall off a cliff. I'm confident in the tires, that I'll be able to make it up the mud.

Your tires are good... That was my last set and I think karlover007 has the same set too... And I put him though lots of ice, snow, and mudd last month.

You'll have no problems... Though don't follow me if I get to run the side trail Onix and DBAX warned me about last time... They said it was pretty bad and would probably requier winching back when I was just armor.

Yarrrrrr!!!! I'll be there. I might be a few minutes late (8:40 at the latest). I gotta run Tiffany to my parents house so she can get to work and that's in Surprise. I'll haul a$$!

I've never wheeled an automatic, so this should be interesting for me.

Well I'm definately out. Can't figure out why I'm running on 3 Cyl and have oil coming out the dipstick.

Have fun guys. See ya next time!

Sweet dude! You wanna meet us at the trail head??? You could take Lake Pleasent Pkwy all the way to the Carefree Hwy I beleive.
That might be easier for you...I hope we'll be outta the gas station by 8:30am to hit the air down spot round 9am...?

If I'm not at the gas station by 8:30, I'll meet you at the start of the dirt road if that's ok. I don't really like to run all the way up that dirt road aired up.

Oh, does anyone have a spare radio I can use for the day? I haven't unpacked mine since I moved.

You got it.

I have an extra FRS you can use.

I'm running on 4, at least when the rain started.

I still won't make it, sounds like a great turnout. Take lots of pics!

hello all....

ill probably be there. i have a stock 4x4 SE and not to sure about running without rails..

but it sounds like fun so i should be there..

The stock trucks that are going (including me) should be fine. In my main truck, I've never hit the sliders on this trail. Every major obstable(s) is an option and the rest is a cakewalk. There's one spot when you really start to gain elevation that is a little tricky, but you need spotting up it there's plenty of people here with experience that can help you. Crown King is probably the best beginner trail around here. You'll all have fun.

The stock trucks that are going (including me) should be fine.???? You not bringing the Fronty i thught you got it back last i herd.
