Sweet! Mod day, Xcursion, and Camping all in one!

only people that wheel on a normal basis are going to this one lol t ray

So here is what we are doing. If anyone would like to join just call 602-694-2047. We are going out to the waters edge, hopefully where Andy is thinking of camping, and setting up camp. Sat we will lounge around until everyone gets there. Then Sunday we will head out with everyone. We need good directions to the camping spot from the back way because we have a 2 wheel drive tundra coming out. See you all out there.

Now that I have read all the posts I will reply again, more intlegantly. Any one that wants to establish a good meeting spot for Friday I am all in. We live in Surprise and should be ready by 630 at the latest that would put us in that area by 830 or so. Meeting spot anyone?

Sweet, I'm in for the mod day

Also, I have lifetime alignment, so we can just get it close. Thanks for the help all!

What is the terrain like where we are camping? Rocky, sandy? And its by water I hear?

Mark

If the campspot I have in mind isn't taken, it's very sandy

Travis, is your 4wd pulling in the trailer, or is the 2wd Tundra doing it?

I don't think a 2wd truck will pull a trailer through the sand.

Bren and I def going, but prolly have to catch up Sat. I don't get outta work til 0800...trying to get someone to come in early. But looking forward to seeing everyone. cb17,frs 14 as always i assume?

never been out there, so will call trav to make sure I know where I am going

Putting Bren's Spacer lift/shackles on her Fronty Thurs (her b-day present), and the diff skid, so she is allll excited.

C u all out there.

104° guys - Take your swimming gear for a dip in the Gila!

Not so much directions as clarification.

It looks like from Hwy 79 I take Price Rd about 10 miles east to Box Canyon Rd.

Are we meeting at Price & Box Canyon or Hwy 79 & Price?

Okay dokey...

Meet at Price Road and Box Canyon at 0800.

Price Road is east of Hwy 79 just north of Florence. I plan on taking the 60 through AJ to Florence Juction to the 79 south to Price road east on Price to Box Canyon. If anyone gets lost, try my cell 480-251-7976.

FRS 14 sub 0
CB ch17

Plan to run Box Canyon, Cabins, Coke Ovens, then to Gila River to camp.

Bring some swim shoes/shorts and plenty of H20. Check all the fluids on your truckity trucks too!

2xplore...if you need help on Thurs with the fronty install holler at me, I have all afternoon off.

See ya out there! Gen1's unite!

I'll be at Hwy 79 and price road at 8am. Box canyon is about 20-25 minutes in on Price Road from the highway. Not sure I can get there that early.

Those are the instructions posted on N4W as well.

Trav, I would like to camp on Fri. call me or I will see you tonight to work on your front bumper some more

Thats cool, Andy. I will obviously wait for you and anyone else before making way into the Canyon. See ya 'round 8-830am.

Not gonna make it boys and girls. Somethings have come up.

Wait a minute - you started this whole thing so you've gotta go. There might even be something in the bylaws that says so.

Good one ....ya ya what he said

Ok... I just want to make sure I have this right.

Everyone is welcome to join? We meet at 8am on Sat at 79 and Price?

I'd like to tag along. I'll be running an X and my girl a Fronty if we are welcome that is. Still bone stock, haven't had them long enough to get parts in yet.

I havent ran the Box in years and last time was a 4x2 03 X... made it with only losing one side step too.

Looking forward to tagging along if all is well.

I'd definately suggest removing step rails/mud flaps before the rocks do it for ya.

Otherwise the more the merrier.

Sorry you can't make it Scott, I know how much you were wanting to go.

Need sliders? I can build em! ask T-ray, CountachCruiser, DBAX and yellow gecko

Dude, I emailed every which way about the sliders! Do you check your email?
There is an empty spot on each side of my X just waiting for the sliders to get attached!

MadManX, you are more than welcome to join the AZXC & SWANKy crew this weekend. If you have an FRS radio or CB, great. If not I do have an extra FRS you can use.

Thanks everyone.

Yep got FRS radios. They are a life savor sometimes. Thanks for the offer there.

Sliders are about to be on order, along with alot of other parts. Been working out a deal with Shrock Works on getting full armor, bumpers, sliders, and winches for both trucks. I've read good things about thier work so figured I'd go all out before I do real damage.

Well that and I found out crossing the Verde River last weekend (on the second day in the new X) that the skid plates suck and I smashed in the front radiator skid. My old X (a 4x2 2003) at least had a steal plate in the front.

Well I look forward to meeting up this weekend. Not sure if I'll be camping but who knows... I might just have too much fun finally having a 4x4.

Everyone please bring lots of cold water to drink. It's gonna be hot and we don't need anyone collapsing out there.

Also, a tarp for shade in the event of any breakage is a good idea too.

The NWS in Phx issued a Heat Wave advisory for today though Friday at 8PM. With expected highs at 104-105. I'm sure as usual this advisory will be extended though the weekend.

Lots of water, and BE VERY CAREFUL WITH FIRE. Last weekend coming back from the Verde River I had to report a spot fire along the side of the freeway, so burn restrictions are getting very close.

I'll try to have at least a couple gallons in the back of the Fronty... Won't be cold but is is better then nothing if someone runs out or it is needed for cooling off or cleaning up.
