    Anyone else? I saw gray lifted VX with HUGE tires on the 202 yesterday. Is that someone here in AZ?

    15hrs of driving

    Billy! Woke up this morning SORE as hell from yesterday. After 15hrs of driving and about 13 of those off roading I was SORE this morning. I will probably call Matt later on tonight and see if we have to go get his truck tomorrow from deep in the desert.

    All right here we go...
    My day started with a 6:00 departure from my house. I met up with a friend of mine (Mike) who was joining us in his Rubi. We pulled into Florence at 7:40, filled up the gas tanks and then headed off to the meet place. There we met up with several people from the Planet Isuzu board...Vincent in his recently SAS'd "Troopa", DREDnot in his Trooper, dsrtrat in his Rodeo (organized the trip), his friend in a Toyota, and Victor (VCamilo) in his VX. After introductions and checking out everyones vehicles we hit the trail at 8:30. A long dirt road dropped us at the mouth of Box Canyon. Just prior to the canyon, Vince broke a center pin on his rear axle, the first carnage of the day. Vince make quick work out of the repairs with a bolt that he had that was a near perfect fit. While he worked we enjoyed the shade at the beginning of the canyon...








    Once Vince was done, we made our way through Box Canyon with out any events...

    Looks like a grand ol time just playing in mother nature's backyard.

    Some guys just seem like they know how to make a weekend into something really special.

    Peace.

    The Canyon gets pretty narrow in some spots.


    Once out of the canyon it was typical Az desert terrain...dirt and rocks!




    dsrtrat reshaped one of his "bling" crome side steps which had to be removed to prevent it from rubbing on his tire. The second carnage of the day. The group stopped for a short break.


    Some rare Az water..if you look close


    We traveled along some more dirt and rock...thing were still going pretty good at this time.
