Nice looking rocks, what trail is that?

The first pic was Bad Karma, the second was Clifton, the third was Pmurph1, and lastly myself...:smokin:

It's Upper Firebird or Ruler. One of the new ones.

So do you arizona boys trailier your trucks out there or drive them? How far are most of the trails from phoenix?

Some drive, some trailer. Lots of trails 30 - 60 minutes away.
Jay

Did you guys run any of the upper section we didn't hit the last time?

Jack, Clifton, and I completed the entire trail. :D:D:D

I'll bet that's the last picture of Clifton's undamaged cab........

Jack, who gave you those pics???

Yes we did. It's excellent.

Here is what happened to my stuff! I looks like I cam pretty clost to busting a ball joint! The insert that you see below goes inside the inner knuckle and the upper ball joint passes through it. As you can see it did not like the stress!

<p><b>Here you can see my short side axle shaft.&nbsp; Both the inner and
outer axle shafts broke.&nbsp; Also look at the 297 ujoint.&nbsp; It did
not have a mark on it!&nbsp; The caps broke causing the shafts to bind
up and break.&nbsp; Next time Im going to weld the caps in place.&nbsp;
I have heard this makes it alot stronger.</b>

You all ready to show those Trails off to some Colorado boys? When need to plan something and hook up! I hear you guys have some great trails, HWY to hell, Predator.....I am I getting close? What is the best time of year to run? I am sure that the summer would suck....so let me know!!! ;)

Hey Jack,
Have you gotten so good :rasta: and sure-footed that you don't carry a spare tire anymore. :flipoff2:
Or are you just trying to shave weight?

Jack's truck is becoming anorexic :barf: (I guess that's actually bulemic, but you get the point). :D:D:D

Both. When I swapped in the new motor, I remove 200lbs. of junk I haven't used in awhile. I cannot wait to cut the body off. Weight breaks shit.

Where's the pix from Woodpecker:question:

All my pics are too large. I don't have any software to reduce pics. I could e-mail them to someone who can reduce them.

I can reduce them for ya. chris@azrockcrawler.com

Chris,
I e-mailed them to you in 2 batches with 5 pics each.
I got some good pics of Jack on Lower Woodpecker.

pmurf1, what happened to the half doors ? Thats the first pic I've seen with the exo cage. Loookin goood.

Too cold for the half doors in the morning! I can hear you saying how cold could it be in AZ in January, but 50 for us is freezing. Plus I caved in the passenger side one when I flopped in Tucson on Thanksgiving and haven't had the ambition to re Bondo it and paint it. You may have just given me the inspiration I need Flimmy! I've been looking at a nice Porter Cable electric DA sander for about $120 for a couple weeks. I hate firing up the compressor and air DA for any length of time. For some reason the neighbors hate it??
p.s. I'm running your birfs in my truck right now. If I break one, I'll expect a prompt refund!:flipoff2:

I think the 90 day warranty has expired :flipoff2: . I'm going to build some half doors for my 4runner also. I have 2 extra sets of doors. Did you use the stock latches to hold the door closed ? and do you have any pic's ? So running without doors was warmer. :rolleyes: 50 we would be running around in shorts :flipoff2:. We went wheeelin 2 weeks ago in 3" of snow and the high for the day was the mid 20's in the sun plus we were on top of the mountain, so it was alittle colder too. And just tell the neighbors :flipoff2: as long as it's not late at night. If you do break one pm me.:
